Get Found in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Search Overviews — Not Just Google
Search did not disappear. It shifted. We create the content, structure, and authority signals that help your brand get cited by the AI systems your customers now ask instead of searching.
Why AEO Matters
Your customers have stopped clicking. AI Overview click-through rates have dropped as much as 65%, while brands earning a citation inside an AI answer see significantly higher click-through than competitors left out. It's no longer just about ranking #1 — it's about being the answer.
👉 If you're not cited, you're invisible, even if you're still ranking.
What We Do
AI-Ready Content Strategy
We build keyword and topic research for how LLMs parse and cite content, not just how Google ranks it. Quarterly roadmaps, content audits, and briefs make your team's writing citation-ready from the first draft.
Structured Data & Schema
We use machine-readable markup — Organization, FAQ, Article, Product, and more — so AI crawlers and generative engines can accurately parse, extract, and attribute your content.
Technical Crawlability & Health
We run sitewide audits, index management, and no-code fixes that help both traditional search engines and AI crawlers reach and understand your site.
E-E-A-T & Authority Signals
We add author bios, citations, and expert voice to your content. These are the credibility signals AI systems and Google use to decide who is trustworthy enough to cite.
Digital PR & Off-Site Authority
We build authority through backlink acquisition, guest posting, and earned media placements that strengthen the third-party signals AI models weigh heavily when choosing sources.
AI Visibility Reporting
We provide live dashboards and monthly reporting that measure more than clicks — including citation frequency, share of voice, and where you are (or aren't) appearing in AI-generated answers.

Common Questions
AEO is the practice of optimizing content, structure, and authority signals so AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews can find, understand, and cite your brand as a trusted source — not just optimizing for traditional blue-link rankings.
No. AEO builds on the same technical and content fundamentals as SEO — it applies them to a new set of engines. Brands with weak SEO foundations typically need both addressed together.
We track citation frequency and share of voice across AI platforms alongside traditional traffic and conversions, so you can see both how often you're cited and what that visibility is worth.
Technical fixes like structured data can show up in AI citations within weeks. Authority-building work — content, digital PR, E-E-A-T signals — typically compounds over 3–6 months, similar to traditional SEO timelines.
Core is the right starting point if you haven't built any AI-search foundation yet. Growth and Authority make sense once you're actively competing for citations and want ongoing authority building. We'll recommend a tier after an initial audit.

Why SnuggleMud?
AI + Human Insight
We use AI to model and monitor visibility, but every strategy is created and quality-checked by people who understand your brand, not by a black-box tool.
Built on Real SEO Fundamentals
AEO is not a replacement for SEO — it's the next layer on top of it. Our team has done the technical and content work underneath this for years; we're simply applying it to a new set of engines.
Full-Funnel Follow-Through
Visibility in an AI answer only matters if the rest of your funnel converts. Because we also handle paid media, tracking, and CRO, we can connect AI-driven visibility to actual pipeline.
