100% dedicated to AI search. It is all we do, and we run the engine on our own brand.
The problem
Your buyers ask AI before they ask Google
When a buyer asks AI which tool to use, it names three to five brands. Everyone else is invisible at the moment of highest buying intent. That research now happens inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, and if the AI recommends a competitor, the deal is shaped before anyone visits your site. Traditional SEO does not get you into those answers on its own, and most teams do not have the people to run AI SEO in-house.
An AI SEO agency gets your brand cited and recommended inside AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) by combining technical SEO, answer-shaped content, and earned citations. RankZero runs the whole program as a managed service and tracks the results in one dashboard.

How a RankZero AI SEO agency engagement runs
Two weeks to stand everything up, then a monthly engine that keeps earning citations. No black box, no quarterly reveal: you see the roadmap before any work starts.

10% of monthly revenue from AI search, at margins closer to organic than paid social.
A DTC pet wellness brand that cannot run a single paid ad.
- 01
Brand and citation baseline
Weeks 1 to 2
We stand up tracking on the prompts your buyers actually type, then measure where ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews name you today, and which competitors they name instead. You start from a number, not a hunch.
- 02
Source of truth audit
Weeks 2 to 3
Crawl, index, schema, and entity coverage, plus your full content inventory. We find every page an engine cannot parse and every claim it cannot verify, and we connect GA4 and Search Console so results are measured in your own analytics.
- 03
Implementation: schema, entities, answer-shaped content
Weeks 3 to 12
Technical fixes ship first, then the content engine starts: four to six new pages a month plus two to four rewrites, drafted for search and AI answers at once, with a human review gate before anything publishes.
- 04
Authority and citation building
Ongoing
We earn mentions on the sources the models already trust: industry roundups, comparison reviews, communities, and directories. Earned placements only, never paid, because a bought mention stops working the day you stop paying.
- 05
Monthly AI visibility scorecard
Ongoing
Citation share across every engine, movement against named competitors, and what it did to sessions and revenue. You get a shared strategy doc, weekly opportunities, a biweekly call, and a monthly report of what moved and what is next.
The model
Think of us as your fractional Head of AI Visibility
Not a report you have to action, and not a headcount you have to hire before the channel is proven. One team owning the strategy, the technical work, the content, and the citations, reporting to you every month on what actually moved.

What it actually means
AI SEO agency, explained without the buzzwords
AI SEO, GEO, and AEO all describe the same job from different angles: it is the same program on our GEO Agency page. Here is the part that decides whether an engine can recommend you, in plain terms.
Book an AI visibility audit01
AI SEO vs traditional SEO
Traditional SEO optimises a page to rank in a list of links. AI SEO optimises your brand to be the answer. The signals overlap, which is why we run both in one program instead of two projects that argue with each other.
02
AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini
Four surfaces, four different retrieval behaviours. AI Overviews leans on what already ranks. ChatGPT and Perplexity lean on what they can retrieve and verify. We optimise for each, then track them separately.
03
Citations, not rankings
The unit that matters is whether the model names you and links you, in the prompts your buyers ask. Position one for a keyword nobody types into an AI is not a win. We measure citation share against named competitors.
04
Entity authority and training data
Models resolve brands as entities, not strings. Consistent naming, verifiable facts, and presence on the sources they read (Wikipedia, Reddit, industry press, comparison sites) is what makes a model confident enough to recommend you.
05
llms.txt and schema are real work
Machine-readable structure is not a checkbox. Schema, clean headings, and answer-shaped sections decide whether a crawler can lift a quotable passage out of your page at all. Most sites fail this before content is even a question.
06
What it costs, honestly
A monthly retainer scoped to your vertical and goals, covering audit, strategy, content, citations, tracking, and reporting. We scope it after a free AI visibility audit, so you see your own numbers before you commit to anything.
