what changed

AI search isn't coming. It's already the default.

[01]Confirmed
// google i/o 2026

AI Mode is now the default search interface

Google confirmed AI Mode goes global, powered by Gemini 3.5 Flash and reaching 1B+ users. The blue-link era is not ending — it's being buried under AI-generated answers.

[02]Structural change
// google's official position

GEO = SEO. Same crawl, same index.

Google confirmed AI Overviews and AI Mode are a presentation layer on top of the existing search stack. Win the technical and content foundation and Google AI coverage follows automatically.

[03]Most brands miss this
// the problem

Non-Google AI needs a completely separate strategy

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Brave don't use Google's index. They have their own retrieval logic — passage-level content, structured data, llms.txt, Reddit signals. Standard SEO ignores all of it.

The bottom line: if your brand isn't being cited by AI engines when buyers search for what you do, a competitor is. Selmo fixes that.

what we track

Three metrics. Everything else is noise.

We report on Visibility, Position, and Sentiment — not traffic or keyword rankings. Those are lagging indicators.

[01]
// citation rate

Visibility

The share of tracked prompts where your brand is cited. Reported per engine, per query set, every cycle.

[02]
// ai position

Position

Where your brand appears inside the AI answer relative to competitors — first mention gets the attention.

[03]
// brand perception

Sentiment

The language AI engines use to describe your brand — scored, flagged, and tracked over time.

how we work

Four phases. One managed service.

[01]AUDIT

Map where you're invisible

We run your brand across every major AI engine — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Brave — against the prompts buyers actually use. You get a precise breakdown of citation rate, position, and sentiment before we touch anything.

[02]STRATEGY

Identify the highest-leverage moves

Not everything is worth fixing. We prioritize by citation impact — which prompts are highest traffic, which engines your competitors dominate, and where a single piece of content would move the most needles. You get a ranked punch list.

[03]EXECUTE

We do the work

Your account gets a strategist, a content lead, and a PR operator. We write the pages, pitch the publications, fix the structured data, and submit the listings — so you don't have to coordinate any of it.

Monthly branded deliverables

Every month we ship a branded report — visibility trend, position movement, sentiment analysis, sources cited, and next-month recommendations. It's designed to go straight to your stakeholders without editing.

the two tracks

One strategy doesn't cover all AI

Google AI uses SEO signals. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Brave use completely different retrieval logic — passage-level content, structured data, llms.txt. We run two separate workstreams so nothing gets missed.

Track 1

Core SEO + Google AI

Google AI Mode · AI Overviews

Google AI is won through core SEO — same crawl, same index, same signals. Get the technical foundation right and Google AI coverage follows automatically.

  • Technical audit
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Crawlability & indexation
  • JavaScript rendering
  • Content strategy
  • Internal linking
Track 2

Multi-Engine AI

ChatGPT · Perplexity · Claude · Brave

Non-Google AI engines retrieve and cite sources differently. Track 2 is a separate workstream targeting the signals they actually use.

  • Passage-level content
  • llms.txt implementation
  • Schema markup
  • Data & statistics injection
  • Reddit presence
  • Brave AI visibility

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google AI a question, those engines cite sources in their answers. AI visibility means your brand shows up as one of those sources — not a competitor.

SEO is built for blue links. AI engines use passage retrieval, schema, llms.txt, Reddit signals, and proprietary data. Legacy SEO ignores all of that. We don't.

Track 1 is Google AI — won through core SEO. Track 2 is ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Brave — which use completely different retrieval logic. Both run in parallel.

No. You provide Google Search Console access, we handle everything else. Delivery is async and automated.

Your current citation status across all 5 engines, what's blocking citations, who's being cited instead of you, and a ranked list of fixes. The audit report maps directly to what a retainer would address.

AI citation rate (% of tracked queries where your brand is cited) and brand mention frequency. Not traffic. Not keyword rankings.

No. Month-to-month only.
