AEO Agency for AI Search.
We install the entity graph, structured schema, and citation-earning content that make ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews recommend you inside their answer boxes. That is where 40 to 60 percent of buying research now happens, before a click ever reaches your site.
Growth AI Retainer · $5,997/mo. Multi-step qualification, average 90 seconds. No sales call required to see scope and fit.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of engineering a brand’s entity graph, structured schema, and citation-worthy content so that generative answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews) recommend it inside their answer boxes. Unlike SEO, which ranks blue links, AEO earns the citation the AI hands the buyer before a click ever happens.
An Operating Program, Not a One-Off Report.
A GEO audit tells you where you stand. AEO is the productized retainer that installs the entity, schema, content, and knowledge infrastructure required to earn AI citations at scale. We re-measure every quarter.
Your brand, products, personas, and services modeled as a machine-readable entity graph. sameAs links, Wikidata plus Wikipedia coverage, Crunchbase, LinkedIn Company, and industry directory presence built to establish canonical identity for AI models.
Full JSON-LD deployment across Organization, Product, Service, FAQPage, Article, HowTo, Person, and BreadcrumbList. We validate in Google Rich Results and the Schema.org validator, then re-check after every content ship.
40 to 60 word direct-answer blocks paired with expanded explanations, deployed on every priority URL. This is the specific structural pattern AI models extract when they hand a buyer a citation.
Content restructured for AI-citation eligibility: named entity tagging, semantic HTML depth, source-attribution patterns, glossary integration, and an llms.txt manifest. This is the format LLM scrapers preferentially cite from.
A source-of-truth knowledge hub (glossary, category primers, comparison content, and product deep-dives) wired with schema, cross-linked, and syndicated to Wikipedia-adjacent sources AI models trust as authoritative.
Weekly citation sweeps across ChatGPT (4o and o1), Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AIO, Copilot, You.com, and Grok. 60 to 120 category prompts, 3 rotations each. Delivered as a live dashboard with delta charts vs. your named competitors.
Contracts Written For Your Side, Not Ours.
Cancel any time with 30 days’ written notice. No annual contract, no exit penalties, no clawback on strategy documents you keep.
Every monthly retainer ships the deliverables scoped in your SOW: 8 to 12 knowledge-hub assets, weekly citation sweeps, schema validation. Miss the count? Next month ships at no charge.
Flat $5,997/mo, invoiced on the 1st. No setup fee, no per-asset overage, no seat-based upcharges. Ahrefs pass-through disclosed transparently at cost.
Strategy + Implementation. Bundled.
AI-citation programs fail in one of two places: strategy shops that hand off a plan you cannot execute, or agencies that ship tactics disconnected from an entity thesis. MV3 is the trusted implementation partner. The plan and the build ship in one program.
The entity thesis your CMO signs off on.
Before we build a schema tag or draft a quick-answer block, we lock the entity thesis: who your brand is to AI models, which category questions you deserve to own, and which competitors you displace over 90-day windows.
- 01Category prompt fleet.
60 to 120 buying prompts assembled from your GSC queries, sales-call recordings, and Reddit or community language. These are the questions your buyers actually ask AI.
- 02Competitor citation map.
Named-competitor benchmarking. Which prompts they own, what content the AI pulls, where their entity graph beats yours.
- 03Entity thesis document.
Positioning statement, authority proof plan, and knowledge-hub taxonomy. It is the single artifact your CMO reads to approve the 90-day roadmap.
- 04Quarterly re-measure and plan.
Every 90 days: full citation re-sweep, delta report, and next-quarter plan. Adjustments to prompt fleet, competitor set, and knowledge-hub priorities.
The work your team would never staff for.
Strategy without shipping is a slide deck. Our AEO analysts, schema engineers, and content specialists execute the roadmap inside your CMS. You review, we ship.
- 01Schema deployed to your CMS.
Full JSON-LD write-through across Organization, Service, Product, FAQPage, Article, Person, and BreadcrumbList. Validated live in Rich Results.
- 02Quick-answer blocks and llms.txt.
Direct-answer blocks written and installed on priority URLs. llms.txt manifest generated, deployed, and re-validated on every content ship.
- 03Knowledge hub content shipped.
Glossary entries, category primers, and comparison pages drafted, schema-marked, and published on your CMS. Typically 8 to 12 assets per month.
- 04Entity-graph presence built.
Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, LinkedIn, and industry-directory profiles created or corrected. sameAs cross-linking completed and verified.

Effort-versus-impact matrix ranks fixes into a 30-day backlog. Weekly sprint scope confirmed with your marketing lead.
Schema, quick-answer blocks, and knowledge hub pages installed. Entity graph presence built and verified across sources.

Monthly executive report plus quarterly re-plan. Prompts refreshed, competitor set audited, next-quarter roadmap issued.
What Marketing Leads Say After 90 Days.
Composite testimonials drawn from MV3’s AEO retainer clients. Names and companies are composite, illustrative rather than a single verified account. Outcomes drawn verbatim from monthly review call transcripts.
By month 4 we were showing up as the recommended vendor inside ChatGPT answers on 8 of our 12 category prompts. That is three named competitors who used to own those answers, gone. Our SQL rate from AI-referred traffic is 3.2 times our organic baseline.
We’d spent 18 months on classical SEO with modest lift. Ninety days into the AEO retainer, Perplexity cites our platform as the reference answer on 14 developer-workflow queries. Signups from AI referrers went from 4 in Q1 to 217 in Q3.
The entity graph work alone was worth the retainer. Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, LinkedIn Company: all reconciled and cross-linked inside week 6. Six months in, we own the answer box on our category phrase across five of the eight tracked models.
Testimonials are composite representations drawn from anonymized MV3 client review calls. First names, roles, and outcomes are directional composites, illustrative rather than tied to specific named companies.

This Is Not For You If…
AEO is the wrong purchase for a real number of buyers. We would rather tell you now than take a bad-fit retainer and both regret it in 60 days.
-
You expect AI-citation lift in 2 to 3 weeks.
Schema fixes register in 1 to 3 weeks, but content-driven citation lift is a 90 to 180 day story. If your CMO needs a Q1 miracle, AEO is the wrong purchase.
-
You want the cheapest AEO or GEO shop you can find.
We are not the low-cost provider. Growth AI is $5,997/mo because we ship implementation, not just strategy decks. Buy on price and you will get a price product.
-
You cannot give us CMS access or a 30-minute kickoff.
We deploy schema and content into your live CMS. Without editor-role access or SFTP, plus 30 minutes of your marketing lead’s time, we cannot ship the program you are paying for.
-
You want a one-time report, not an ongoing program.
If you want a snapshot, buy the $997 GEO Audit. That is the right product. The AEO retainer only compounds after month 3, and a 30-day trial is not how this discipline works.
-
You are not willing to let AI cite you at all.
Some brands (regulated finance, medical, luxury) explicitly do not want to be summarized by AI answer engines. That is a valid choice, and it means AEO is not the right service.
Below is what the same scope would cost sourced à la carte from equivalent specialist shops. The bundled retainer is about 40% under retail because MV3 productizes the workflow.
