How Done-for-You AI Search Optimization Works

Last updated: September 30, 2026

Attractify constantly scans all major AI platforms for numerous high buyer intent queries and reports the findings and insights to the client's dashboard in real time. We then generate a list of the questions that your customers are actually asking these AI platforms when they are researching and purchasing, and a real expert from your company answers those questions with us on a very simple call once a month.

Tracking and reporting

We check ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Copilot, Grok, as well as a few others, many times throughout each week, and report their findings in the portal live. Each month, as the metrics, SEO rankings, and AI recommendation traffic grow, Attractify reports all of this in the client's dashboard, so that they can always track their progress for transparency and internal reporting.

Content from your real experts

Each month's call is recorded. The transcript is used for written content, while the video is used for multiple video content pieces. The real expert transcript is used to create targeted and technically optimized pages that are published multiple times per week on the client's website.

The call is then edited and posted as a long-form, helpful, expert video on the client's YouTube channel after being optimized for AI search findability. Short clips are cut out of the same video and posted to target specific queries that back up the same claims as the long videos and the pages on the client's website. These shorter videos are posted across YouTube Shorts and other social media channels owned by the client, so that they always own all of the content and benefit from it in perpetuity.

Because each piece of content from our system is so unique, AI platforms prioritize it as expert human content that cannot be replicated elsewhere.

Technical optimization

Every page that we create is technically optimized with schema markup, strategic technical SEO, structured data, FAQs, high-value TL;DR summaries at the top of each page, as well as many other technical strategies. Outside of this scope, we give an easy checklist of other tips that can help your AI visibility stand out, tailored to each client.

Off-site trust signals through video

While many competing software companies and agencies focus on Reddit, LinkedIn, and backlinks, we create a web of off-site trust signals through our video content, which is the fastest growing source for most AI platforms to cite. Our own citation scans show YouTube as the most cited source in buyer intent queries, and Meltwater's data showed YouTube was the most-cited platform across eight AI platforms in August 2026, including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot.

It is very easy for LLMs and social media platforms to see whether video content is made by an AI or a real human being, and therefore it can be prioritized correctly. We have been doing this since the beginning of our company in early 2025, but others are now scrambling to catch up with this strategy that we have honed in.

Why this is different from an SEO agency

Normal SEO agencies are either utilizing an "industry professional" to manually write copy, or they are using AI. Because those writers are not actual working professionals in the company or the industry, they will never be able to share the real-life experiences and expertise that AI is looking for. If they are using AI to write their content, it is by definition being copied from other sources and rearranged to look unique, but AI can see straight through it and knows that it is not offering any new information that it cannot get elsewhere. Once enough of this is added to your website, companies often hit a threshold of AI content that ends up getting them penalized or even deindexed, and that can carry over into ChatGPT too.

We have built our software to continuously optimize in a way that no human worker or agency team could ever match, because it is taking in thousands of AI search results and analyzing them for what is working in order to optimize each piece of content in real time. It would not just be difficult for an agency to match, it would be impossible without using our tool or stringing together a series of other mismatched tools to match the workflow. Even then, that method would require a lot of guesswork and workflow build-out.

For the client, the only thing we need from them is one call per month to give us their personal expert answers, expertise, and experiences as a professional in their industry. This gives us content that no one can ever copy or match, and that AI loves to ingest and recommend.

FAQ

Is AEO harder than SEO?

SEO can be more expensive than certain AEO offerings, because SEO requires a lot of human interaction if it is done at a high level. AEO can be more expensive than certain SEO packages, though, because it is much more difficult to deliver AEO results in a repeatable manner.

Search engines often have about seven different levels of checks and balances and trust signals that any result needs to pass in order to rank. According to a Microsoft executive who runs one of their LLM programs, speaking at SEO Week in April 2026, AEO has a minimum of 27 parameters that any singular piece of content needs to pass through in order to even be considered as a contextual piece of information to make a claim. There are oftentimes 3 to 5 contextual pieces of information that make up one singular recommendation, and sometimes significantly more. So if SEO has seven steps that need to be done very well in order to rank high on Google, AEO has dozens of parameters that need to be carried out perfectly for every piece of information behind a recommendation, in order to get continually recommended as the top choice in AI search.

Can I do AEO myself?

I have seen companies do their own AEO without any software tools or tracking tools, and you can carry out best practices and see results. It is very time-consuming, and you have no idea why something is either working or not. You risk wasting a massive amount of time to learn a skill that changes every single day and is not a core skill your company actually needs to operate. In short, you will either pay for AEO with your time or your money. We have simply created the most efficient way to use your time and money that creates a repeatable, safe, and strong result.

Everyone should run a free scan on their company's website, because they should know how AI search actually views them when their customers are asking the important questions they ask just before purchasing.
