Anyone promising you "AI rankings" is guessing — AI answers change week to week. What the evidence supports is making your business the easiest one to find, read, trust and cite. Here's what actually works, with sources →
Intent & Engine Optimization: the practice of structuring your website and reputation so both traditional search engines and AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI) can find, understand and recommend your business. It builds on classic SEO rather than replacing it.
No — it's the foundation. Page-1 Google rankings remain the strongest single predictor of whether AI engines mention a business. What's dead is stopping at rankings: the click-through behaviour, the sources engines read, and where buyers ask questions have all shifted.

No — and nobody honestly can. AI answers vary run to run and shift month to month. We optimise the inputs the engines demonstrably use, measure your citations across each engine monthly, and report direction transparently.
