FAQs about AI optimization
We optimize for all major AI assistants including ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Bing Chat. Our strategies work across platforms because we focus on fundamental optimization principles that improve how AI models understand and recommend your business, rather than platform-specific tactics.
AI optimization typically shows initial improvements within 4-6 weeks, with more significant results developing over 2-3 months. Unlike traditional SEO, AI models update their understanding more frequently, so properly optimized content can start generating recommendations relatively quickly. Results depend on your current digital presence and the competitiveness of your industry.
Absolutely. AI optimization is particularly valuable for local businesses because customers frequently ask AI assistants for local recommendations like “best dentist near me” or “top marketing agency in Chicago.” We focus on local authority signals and geographic relevance markers that help AI tools understand your location and recommend you for area-specific searches.
