We make you the company AI recommends in your category.
AI engines decide who to recommend based on your website, what trusted sources say about you, and how consistent that information is across the web. The Vardo Authority Method works every one of those signals at once, so engines see your company as the authority in your space.
Built on hands-on AEO work. Our team designs and runs AEO strategy for B2B companies across categories. We know which sources each engine draws from, how fast each one updates, and what it takes to move a company from absent to recommended.
Our proven methodology puts your company among the top five recommendations in AI answers for the prompts that drive your pipeline.
- Top-five placement for your highest-value buyer prompts
- Accurate, favorable descriptions of your company
- Category authority ahead of your competitors
The Vardo Authority Method
Five pillars, worked continuously by a dedicated team, with a report on your progress every month.
Technical optimization
AI crawlers have to read your site before they can cite it. We make sure they can.
- Schema markup and structured data
- AI crawler access and an llms.txt file
- Indexing, speed and technical fixes
Citable content
Articles and answer pages built around the exact questions your buyers ask, structured so engines can quote them.
- Buyer prompt research and content mapping
- Articles, comparison pages and FAQs in your brand
- Content refreshed as models and competitors change
Third-party authority
AI engines trust what others say about you more than what you say about yourself. We earn mentions where they look.
- Industry publications and trade directories
- Placements in comparison and “best of” articles
- B2B review platforms like G2, Clutch and Google
Brand and entity presence
Consistent, current information about your company everywhere AI checks before it recommends you.
- LinkedIn posting for your company and leadership
- Expert answers on Quora
- Google Business Profile, Crunchbase and Wikidata kept consistent
Sentiment and visibility tracking
We track what AI says about you, not only whether it mentions you, and fix what's wrong.
- Your prompts run daily in your own data dashboard
- Share of voice against your competitors
- Inaccurate or negative descriptions flagged and corrected

Frequently asked questions
SEO gets your website ranked in a list of search results. Answer engine optimization (AEO) gets your company named in the answer itself when a buyer asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini for a recommendation. More B2B buyers now start their research there, before they ever open Google.
Usually for one of four reasons: AI crawlers can't read your site well, your site doesn't answer the questions buyers ask, few trusted third-party sources mention you, or the information about your company is inconsistent across the web. AI engines recommend the companies they can verify. A free diagnostic is the fastest way to see where you stand.
The Vardo Authority Method works five signals at once: a technical foundation AI crawlers can read, content that answers your buyers' questions, mentions in third-party sources AI trusts, a consistent presence on LinkedIn, Quora and business profiles, and daily measurement of mentions and sentiment. A dedicated team led by our AEO expert runs it every month.
Yes. We track how each engine describes your company, flag inaccurate or outdated claims, and correct them at the source: your site, your business profiles and the third-party pages AI draws from. As those sources update, the descriptions follow.

We run three prompts your ideal buyer would actually use across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini, check how each engine describes you, and show you where you appear, where you don't, and who gets recommended instead. It's a first read. A full engagement covers 20 to 30 prompts in your category.
It depends on your category and how competitive it is. Most companies should expect around four months for results to take hold, and visibility keeps compounding with consistent work after that.
No. We write and design the content in your brand, hand it over ready to publish, and handle the outreach for third-party mentions. If no one on your team can publish to your site, we'll sort it out with you. All we need from you are approvals.
A kickoff call so we understand your business and your buyers, access to your website and tools like Google Search Console, and your brand guidelines so everything we publish looks like you. After that, just approvals.
Through your own data dashboard. Your prompts run every day in every engine, and you see where you're mentioned, where you rank, how AI describes you and how you compare with your competitors. Your success manager walks you through it every month.
Because AI visibility decays without upkeep. Models update, competitors keep publishing, and stale information stops getting cited. Ongoing work keeps you in the answers.
