What does AEO consulting actually deliver?
Consulting here means your team does the work and we supply the judgement, the sequence and the review. It is the right shape when you have marketing capacity and lack the specific expertise, and the wrong shape when you have neither.
- A prioritised roadmap. Not a list of everything possible, but the order that makes each step work better than doing it alone.
- A fixed measurement set. The queries your buyers actually ask, frozen so a later comparison means something.
- Frameworks your team keeps. Entity checklists, thread evaluation criteria, and reply standards that outlast the engagement.
- Review, not execution. We look at what your team produced and say what is wrong with it.
If you want the work done rather than taught, that is AEO management instead.
When is consulting the wrong choice?
Being direct about this saves everyone a call.
| Your situation | Better fit |
|---|---|
| Strong marketing team, no AEO expertise | Consulting |
| No spare capacity to execute | AEO management |
| Want to know where you stand first | AI visibility audit |
| Comfortable running it, want the tooling | Self-serve plans |
Consulting fails when nobody on the client side owns execution. A roadmap with no one to run it produces a document, not citations.
What does the first 90 days look like?
- Weeks 1-2: baseline. Fix the query set and measure before anything changes. Teams that skip this cannot later prove anything moved, and we would rather have an uncomfortable starting number than an unfalsifiable one.
- Weeks 2-4: entity work. Naming consistency, the Organization record, and the profiles models read. This comes first because nothing downstream compensates for an unresolvable entity — see entity authority.
- Weeks 4-10: participation. Your team answers real questions in threads that already rank, using the criteria we set. The method is in Reddit marketing for AI search visibility.
- Weeks 10-13: re-measure and adjust. Same queries, same engines, reported per engine.
No part of that promises a citation on a date. What it controls is how much good source material exists about you and whether your entity resolves.
How do you judge whether it worked?
The same way you should judge any vendor in this category, including us: ask what happens when a model replies that it has never heard of the brand. That sentence contains your brand name, and a naive substring match scores it as a mention.
We shipped that bug ourselves and it inflated two reports to 100% and 75% before we caught it. The fix was to strip denial and clarification sentences before looking for the name. How to evaluate AI visibility tools covers the rest of the questions worth asking.
A flat result is a real outcome. If the number does not move, the useful thing is knowing why, not a reframing of the chart.
