Question 1

What is AI search visibility (AIO)?

Accepted Answer

AIO — Answer Engine Optimization — is the work that makes a business readable and quotable by AI assistants. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or Gemini for a recommendation, those systems pull from sources they can parse and trust. AIO means structured data, unambiguous entity information, crawler access, and content shaped so a specific answer can be lifted out of the page.

Question 2

How is AIO different from SEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO gets you ranked on a results page so a human can click you. AIO gets you named inside the answer, before anyone sees a list of links. They overlap on fundamentals — fast, crawlable, well-structured pages — but AIO adds a schema graph, clear entity definitions, and extractable answer formatting that classic SEO never required.

Question 3

Can you tell me how AI currently describes my business?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is the first thing we check. We run your site through our scanner for structure, schema, and crawler access, then compare it against how the major assistants actually talk about you. The gap between those two things is usually the whole project.

Question 4

Does AIO work if my site is brand new?

Accepted Answer

It works better. A new build can ship with the schema graph, heading structure, and llms.txt correct on day one instead of retrofitting a site that was never structured for extraction.

Question 5

How long before AI assistants pick up the changes?

Accepted Answer

Google typically re-crawls within days. AI assistants vary — some read live from search, others refresh on their own training and index cycles. We see structural changes reflected in AI answers most often in the two-to-eight week range, and we track it monthly on Growth.

Question 6

Which package should I start with?

Accepted Answer

Launch if you need one sharp page live this week — validating an offer or pointing ads somewhere. Authority if your whole presence needs to be credible and findable. Growth if the site exists and the job now is compounding visibility. If you are unsure, the pricing page walks through it, or ask Deadset and he will diagnose it.

Question 7

Is pricing fixed or a starting point?

Accepted Answer

The listed numbers are starting points and they are real — Launch from $750, Authority from $2,500, Growth from $1,000/mo. Scope moves the number: more pages, custom app work, or heavier content volume price up from there. You get a fixed quote before anything starts.

Question 8

Is there a contract on the monthly retainer?

Accepted Answer

Month to month. The work should keep earning the retainer.

Question 9

Can I buy just one thing — a logo, one page, an audit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The add-on list exists for exactly that. A logo is $250, an extra landing page is $500, and an AI search visibility audit is quoted based on site size.

Question 10

How fast can you actually launch?

Accepted Answer

Launch is a 2-3 day turnaround once we have your content and approvals. Authority runs 1-2 weeks. The variable is almost never our build speed — it is how quickly we get copy decisions, photos, and sign-off.

Question 11

What do you need from me to start?

Accepted Answer

A clear picture of what you sell and who buys it, any existing brand files, photos if you have them, and one decision-maker who can approve. We handle messaging, structure, copy direction, design, and build.

Question 12

Do you write the copy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Headlines, offer framing, and calls to action are part of every build. If you have subject-matter detail we cannot invent — pricing, credentials, service specifics — we ask for it rather than making it up.

Question 13

How many revision rounds are included?

Accepted Answer

Two structured rounds on design and two on copy, which covers almost every project. We would rather get direction right in discovery than trade endless small edits later.

Question 14

Do I own the site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The site, the domain, and the brand files are yours. There is no hostage situation if you decide to work with someone else later.

Question 15

Can I edit content myself afterward?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Content is structured so copy and images can be updated without touching code.

Question 16

What happens if I do nothing after launch?

Accepted Answer

Visibility decays. Competitors publish, rankings shift, and AI models re-crawl. A site left alone quietly loses ground — which is the entire reason the Growth retainer exists.

Question 17

Do you handle hosting and analytics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hosting, analytics, and Search Console are set up as part of the build so you can see traffic and leads from day one.
