AI Architect
AI visibility on retainer.
An operator who builds the structure, content, and signals that get you cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — where your buyers now start.
What this is
AI search visibility, engineered.
An experienced AI visibility operator embedded in your team. Entity-based content architecture, structured data and schema, citation-worthy assets, internal linking, and the signals AI search engines actually read — all built so your brand becomes the answer.
You get one named operator with deep experience in technical content architecture and AI search behavior. Direct access to your stack, your writers, and your dev team. Monthly written progress against agreed AI visibility outcomes — AI Overview mentions, citations in Perplexity and ChatGPT, share-of-voice in your category's answer set.
Why now
Fewer visitors. Better ones.
The clicks did not vanish. They moved. Your buyer asks an assistant first, reads the answer, and arrives on your site already close to a decision. Companies feeling this only as a traffic problem are watching the wrong number.

HubSpot's own rise in leads from LLMs, while blog traffic fell
That leaves one question worth paying to answer. When an assistant is asked what to buy in your category, does it name you?

Good fit if
AI is changing how your buyers find you.
- Buyers are starting their research in ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity — not Google
- AI Overviews are eating clicks from positions you used to convert
- You publish content but no AI search engine cites you
- Your category has comparison and recommendation questions AI is now answering for buyers
Not a fit if
You need something else.
- A one-time content audit you want to file and forget
- Pure traditional SEO with no AI angle (we touch it, but it isn't the lead)
- Local search for single-location service businesses
