Services / AI SEO + AEO agency
AI SEO & AEO agency.
Measured, not promised.
What does an AI SEO and AEO agency do? It makes your website easy for Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews to crawl, understand, and cite, and then measures whether that is happening. Marketing & AI does this for businesses in Houston and remotely. We do not guarantee AI rankings or citations, because no one controls what AI tools say.
Most agencies selling AI search services skip three things: how they will measure results, real dated proof, and an honest line about what cannot be promised. This page covers all three, plus exactly what the work includes.
01 / The gap
What most AI SEO agencies
leave out.
And what you should ask any agency before you hire one.
| Common offer | Our approach | |
|---|---|---|
| Results | Promises of top placement in AI answers. | No guarantees. A written scope with checks we can verify together. |
| Measurement | A citation screenshot. | Search Console, Bing AI reporting, GA4 AI referrals, a dated prompt log, and leads. |
| Proof | Unnamed clients. | Named client work with dated reports, including numbers that went down. |
| Who does the work | Offshore or outsourced teams. | A Houston team you can call directly. |
| Where it starts | A long retainer. | A free 30-minute audit, then a written scope before you commit. |
02 / The work
What the work
actually includes.
Six workstreams, ordered by what usually unblocks results first.
- Crawl and AI crawler access: key pages indexed in Google and Bing, and robots.txt allowing the AI search crawlers you want citing you.
- Answer-first pages: each key page answers its main question in the first two sentences, then proves it.
- Consistent business facts: name, services, service area, phone, and hours identical on your site, Google Business Profile, and directories.
- Structured data: Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, and Article markup that matches what is visible.
- Off-site mentions: earning references on directories, partners, local media, and communities that AI tools read.
- The lead path: fast pages and a clear call, text, or form step, so visibility turns into customers.
03 / Measurement
How we measure it.
Every month.
No single tool sees every AI answer, so we combine honest signals.
- Google Search Console: clicks and impressions for the searches that matter, including traffic from AI Overviews, which Google reports inside normal web results.
- Bing Webmaster Tools: AI performance reporting shows when Microsoft Copilot cites your pages.
- GA4: visits referred by chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, copilot.microsoft.com, and gemini.google.com.
- A dated prompt log: the same buyer questions asked monthly in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google, with whether you were mentioned or cited.
- Leads: calls, forms, and booked work. We report every number with its date range, including when it goes down.
Real, dated evidence from our client pages: for Immaculate Car Wash (a mobile detailer in Baton Rouge), a saved Google Search Console view shows 1.37K clicks and 39K impressions, with clicks up 30% in its comparison. The same page also shows a more recent 90-day window where clicks fell 11.6%. We publish both, because a result without its date range is not proof.
04 / Process
How we work
together.
Simple, and you see the scope before you pay.
- Free 30-minute audit of your site, search presence, and AI visibility.
- A written scope: what we will fix, in what order, and how we will measure it.
- We build, test, and document each change.
- Monthly review of the numbers, then the next priorities.
Questions
Common questions.
Short, honest answers.
Can you guarantee my business will appear in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?
No. No one controls which sources AI tools cite. We improve the signals they rely on and measure what changes, with dates.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO earns rankings and clicks. AEO shapes the answers on your pages so search features and AI assistants can use them. See our AEO vs SEO guide.
How long until we see results?
Technical fixes can be picked up within weeks of being crawled. New content and off-site mentions take longer. We review progress monthly.
Do you work with businesses outside Houston?
Yes. We are based in Houston and work with clients across Texas and remotely.
What does it cost?
We set the scope and price in writing after the free audit, before you commit, so you only pay for work that fits your site.
