02 / Why now
Buyers now shortlist inside AI answers. Most brands never make the list.
When a buyer asks ChatGPT for the best option in your category, the answer names three or four brands and cites its sources. If you are not one of them, you lose the sale before you know it existed: no click, no visit, no trace in your analytics.
What buyers ask, engine by engine
- ChatGPT “What’s the best your category for a 50-person company?”
- Claude “Compare the top your category options, pros and cons.”
- Gemini “Which your category should I shortlist this year?”
- Perplexity “Best your category with transparent pricing?”
- Google AI Overviews “best your category 2026”
AI search is still young, and the brands cited today become the defaults everyone else has to displace later.
03 / What we work on
Four disciplines, one system.
Generative Engine Optimization
Citations, mentions and recommendations inside AI answers: prompt research, competitive AI visibility, citation opportunities across five engines.
Answer Engine Optimization
Content structured to be the answer: entity clarity, answer-first pages, FAQ optimization, structured answers that engines can lift verbatim.
Infrastructure engines can read
Schema, entity signals, site architecture, internal linking, crawlability and machine-readable content, so engines can crawl, understand, retrieve and cite you.
Content built to be cited
Answer-first articles, comparison and commercial pages, FAQ content. A fixed number of assets ships with every monthly program.
SEO foundations are maintained inside every engagement, because citations depend on them. Classic rankings-first SEO is available as an add-on. Full service breakdown.

06 / Why Sourcelift
What we do differently, on purpose.
Prices, published
Most GEO agencies only quote on a sales call. Our diagnosis, audit and sprint prices are on the pricing page, and monthly programs are matched to your company stage there.
Proof without vanity
No "visibility score up 400%". We report citations won per engine and share of voice, with the raw data behind every number. Our proof framework explains what we count and why.
Technical first, done for you
Most citation problems start on the technical layer: AI crawlers blocked, schema missing, a brand described five different ways. We fix that first, then run the work end to end, in English or Spanish.
We run our own playbook
sourcelift.ai runs the full playbook on itself, measured on the same kind of locked prompt set we use for clients.
07 / The hard questions
Three objections, answered straight.
"AI visibility cannot be measured."
It can, if the instrument stays fixed. We lock the prompt set at day 0 and re-run it monthly on the same five engines. Citations appear and disappear, which is exactly why we track share of voice and deltas instead of screenshots. The method is public.
"My SEO agency says they already do GEO."
Ask them two questions: which prompts do they track, and on which engines? If the answer is a blog post about llms.txt, that is a checkbox, not a practice. GEO done seriously has its own baseline, its own execution order and its own reporting. GEO vs SEO, side by side.
"Can I just buy a tracking tool instead?"
Tools like Profound or Otterly show you the data for less money, and for monitoring alone they are a fine choice. They will not fix how engines understand your brand, rewrite your pages answer-first or win external citations. The tool tells you the score. We move it. Agency, tool or in-house: how to choose.
08 / FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask
What is a generative engine optimization agency?
A GEO agency gets a brand cited, recommended and used as a source inside AI answers on engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Sourcelift does this as a productized service: fixed scope, published prices and one method, the Sourcelift Loop, measured every month.
What is the Sourcelift Loop?
The Sourcelift Loop is our five-step method for getting brands cited by AI engines: a Baseline on day 0, then Fix, Ship, Earn and Prove every month. Baseline locks a set of buying prompts and measures you against competitors on five engines. Fix, Ship and Earn are the monthly work: entity and Technical GEO, answer-first content and external citations. Prove re-runs the same prompts and reports the delta per engine.
What is AEO, and how is it different from GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimization) structures your content so an engine can lift it as the direct answer to a question. GEO (generative engine optimization) is the broader practice of earning citations and recommendations inside AI-generated answers. They share one workflow: GEO decides where you must appear, AEO shapes the content that gets you there. We deliver both together.
What is the difference between SEO, GEO and AEO?
SEO earns rankings in search results. GEO earns citations inside AI answers. AEO shapes your content so it can become the answer itself. They are one discovery system, not rival disciplines. Sourcelift leads with GEO and AEO, keeps the SEO foundations that citations depend on, and offers classic rankings-first SEO as an add-on.
What is Technical GEO?
The infrastructure work that lets search engines and AI systems crawl, understand, retrieve and cite your site: structured data, entity signals, site architecture, internal linking, llms.txt and crawl access for AI bots, machine-readable content, and crawler analytics that show which engines actually read your site. It is part of every Sourcelift engagement, not a separate upsell.
Do you create content?
Yes. Every monthly program includes a fixed number of content assets: answer-first articles, comparison pages, commercial pages and FAQ content. Built to rank in search and to become the source AI answers cite.
How long does GEO take to show results?
Expect the first citation gains within 30 to 60 days, sometimes sooner. AI engines refresh their sources at different speeds, so we measure every 30 days and report the change on each engine instead of promising a fixed date.
Which AI engines do you cover?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Every program includes all five: we work on all of them and focus on the three that matter most to you.
How do you charge?
A free AI Visibility Diagnosis, a $390 GEO / AEO audit, an optional $2,400 fixed-scope 90-day sprint (two payments of $1,200), and monthly growth programs from $900 matched to your company stage. You can start a program directly. Prices are published on the pricing page.
If AI doesn’t name you, it names a competitor.
The free diagnosis runs real buying prompts on five engines, shows who gets named instead of you and where you can win first.
