The Difference

The AEO industry sells you the map.
We take you there.

When a buyer asks ChatGPT for the best tool in your category, the answer comes from somewhere. A handful of roundups, comparison guides, and listicles supply the sources. If your brand is on those pages, you get recommended. If it is not, the engine recommends someone who is.

Most agencies in this space stop at diagnosis. They audit your prompts, chart the citation gaps, restructure a few of your own pages, and send a monthly report. It is useful information. It is not a placement. Your own site can only take you so far, because AI engines build recommendations from third-party sources, not from your homepage.

Our work starts where their report ends. We find the exact pages the engines cite for your buyer queries, reach the editors who own them, and earn your inclusion. That is the difference between watching the answer and being in it.

What the industry sells:

  • ·Prompt tracking dashboards
  • ·Citation-gap reports
  • ·Content restructuring on your own site
  • ·Advice on what you should do next

Action & Placement

The Workflow

Report. Placement. Citation.

See the full process

Step 01

Map the sources.

Prompt-gap analysis across your tracked buyer queries shows which pages ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews pull from, and where competitors are cited without you.

Step 02

Earn the placement.

You approve every target. We do the outreach, negotiate the inclusion, and write an editorial-grade entry that holds its own on the page.

Step 03

Watch the citations follow.

Live placements go into the engines' source pool. Monthly reporting tracks citation movement on your queries. Typical visibility follows within 90 to 120 days.

The dashboard tells you where the gap is. The placement closes it. We price by the placement because that is the unit of value: you pay for being added to a cited source, not for another report telling you that you should be.

Ask the team
What makes Anchorial different from other AEO or link building agencies?+

One question settles it: when a report shows you a citation gap, who gets you added to the cited page? For most agencies the answer is nobody, or you. For us it is the core deliverable. We run the analysis and we make the placement.

Can you guarantee AI engines will cite us?+

No, and nobody honest can. Engines refresh answers on their own schedule. We guarantee the placement itself, on pages the engines demonstrably cite, with monthly citation reporting. Visibility typically follows within 90 to 120 days.

Do we approve domains before you reach out?+

Always. Domain, DR, traffic, ranking keywords, and the specific target page, all shown to you before outreach begins. Mandatory on every program.

What does the audit include?+

A citation-source map of your category: which pages the engines cite, where competitors sit, and a prioritized placement roadmap. Credited in full to your first month.

Ready when you are

Your competitors are in the answer. The report already told you that.

One audit maps every page AI engines cite in your category. Then we go get you added.
