01The shift

Your buyers stopped searching.
They started asking.

Discovery now happens inside AI answers. The brands that get named and cited there win the shortlist before a sales call is ever booked.

02The problem

Growth got harder in six ways at once.

Most teams are fighting these with separate agencies, separate dashboards and separate definitions of success.

01 —

CAC keeps climbing

Paid channels get more expensive every quarter, and blended CAC payback is drifting past what the board will accept.

02 —

AI answers are eating your clicks

Buyers get a synthesized answer instead of ten blue links. Organic sessions fall even when rankings hold.

03 —

You are invisible in ChatGPT

Ask an AI engine for the best tools in your category — your competitors are named, cited and linked. You are not.

04 —

ROAS swings month to month

Smart bidding optimizes to the cheapest conversion, not to revenue, so performance is volatile and hard to scale.

05 —

Lead quality is poor

MQL volume looks healthy on the dashboard, but sales rejects most of it and SQL rates stay flat.

06 —

Nobody can prove pipeline

Marketing, sales and finance each have a different number. Budget conversations become opinion contests.

03The Aivanta loop

One closed loop from AI discovery to attributed revenue.

GEO specialists rarely run media. Performance agencies treat AI search as an SEO add-on. We run discovery, acquisition, conversion and attribution as one system — so every dollar and every citation is accountable to pipeline.

01 / DISCOVER

AI Discovery

Get named and cited in the AI answers your buyers read — and in classic search.

02 / ACQUIRE

Paid Acquisition

Capture high-intent demand on Google, create it on LinkedIn, and retarget it everywhere.

03 / CONVERT

Conversion

Landing pages, offers and nurture that turn visits into demos and SQLs.

04 / PROVE

Attribution

CRM-connected reporting and offline conversions that feed revenue back into bidding.

Closed-won revenue is uploaded back to ad platforms as offline conversions, so bidding learns what a good customer looks like.

04AI Search / GEO

Turn AI answers into a new acquisition channel.

We find the prompts that shape buying decisions in your category, measure who AI recommends today, and engineer the content, entity signals and citations that make your brand the answer.

  • Prompt mapping — 100–300 buyer prompts across problems, comparisons and “best X for Y”.
  • Visibility baseline — mentions, position, sentiment and cited sources vs. competitors.
  • Technical GEO — crawler access, server rendering, structured data, llms.txt.
  • Citation engineering — source-worthy pages plus the third-party sources engines trust.
  • Tracking — AI referral channel in GA4, connected to leads and pipeline.

05Paid growth

Smart bidding is only as smart as the signal you feed it. We connect ad platforms to your CRM so Google, LinkedIn and Meta optimize toward SQLs and revenue — not the cheapest form fill.

  • Google & Microsoft Search — intent-tiered campaigns, PMax and Shopping with clean signals.
  • LinkedIn ABM — target-account lists, buying-committee creative, pipeline-weighted bidding.
  • Retargeting across Meta, Reddit and display to compress the sales cycle.
  • Offline conversions — SQL, opportunity and revenue uploaded back to every platform.

09Our commitments

Things we will never promise you.

Generative engines are fast-moving black boxes. Anyone selling certainty is selling something else. We sell measurement, experimentation and measurable improvement.

“Guaranteed #1 in ChatGPT”

No one controls model outputs. Answers vary by prompt, user, location and model version.

“Guaranteed AI citations”

Citations are earned by being the most useful, trusted source — and they must be measured, not assumed.

“We control LLM rankings”

There is no secret “GEO schema” or back door. Claims like this are a red flag.

A real baseline

Prompt-level visibility and pipeline numbers before we change anything.

A shared scorecard

Business KPIs agreed up front: SQLs, pipeline, CAC — not just traffic or mentions.

No black box

Your accounts, your data, live dashboards and a documented experiment log.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us first

Straight answers on GEO, paid media, timelines and pricing. Still unsure? Talk to a strategist.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of making a brand easier for AI systems — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot — to find, understand, trust and cite when they answer a buyer’s question. It combines crawler access, entity and structured data, source-worthy content, third-party citations and measurement. The term was formalized in a 2024 KDD paper by researchers from Princeton, Georgia Tech, the Allen Institute for AI and IIT Delhi.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO earns a ranked link; GEO earns a mention or citation inside a synthesized answer. Many foundations overlap — crawlability, fast server-rendered pages, structured data and authority — but GEO adds prompt research, answer-ready content formats, entity consistency across the web, citation-source strategy, and tracking of mentions, citations and AI referral traffic. We run them as one program.

Can you guarantee my brand will rank #1 in ChatGPT?

No — and you should be wary of anyone who does. Generative engines are fast-changing black boxes, and even the original GEO research found results vary substantially by domain. What we commit to is a measured baseline, a disciplined experiment roadmap, and transparent reporting on share of voice, citations, AI referrals and the pipeline they produce.

How do you measure AI search visibility?

We build a prompt set that mirrors how your buyers ask (typically 100–300 prompts across use cases, comparisons and problems), then sample answers on a fixed cadence across major engines. We track mention rate, position, sentiment, citation rate and cited URLs versus competitors, and connect that to AI referral sessions in GA4 (for example, ChatGPT links carry utm_source=chatgpt.com) and to leads and opportunities in your CRM.

How quickly will we see results?

Technical fixes (crawler access, rendering, structured data) can be shipped in the first two to four weeks. Movement in AI mentions and citations is usually measurable within one to three months, depending on your category’s competitiveness and how quickly new content gets crawled and cited. Paid search and LinkedIn programs typically produce learnings in the first 30 days of a pilot.

Do you also run paid media?

Yes. Paid search (Google and Microsoft), paid social (LinkedIn, Meta, Reddit, TikTok), AI-assisted creative, landing-page CRO and offline conversion tracking are core services. The point of Aivanta is one growth system: AI discovery, paid acquisition, conversion and attribution working from the same data.

What does it cost?

Most clients start with a free AI Visibility Audit, then a 90-day pilot. Monthly retainers typically range from US$3k–8k for early-stage teams, US$8k–25k for growth-stage companies and US$25k–80k+ for enterprise programs. Media spend is separate and paid directly to the ad platforms. See Pricing for details.

Who owns the ad accounts, data and content?

You do. Ad accounts, analytics properties, CRM data, dashboards and every piece of content we create are owned by your company. We work inside your accounts with role-based access, and all of it stays with you if we part ways.
