Our Methodology

Our Approach to AEO & GEO

A Framework Built to Earn Your Place™ in AI Search.

We don't chase rankings. We build the trust signals AI platforms actually use when deciding which businesses deserve to be recommended.

Our process

The SPLASH Framework

Six steps we use to help your business earn its place in AI-powered search — before we ever touch implementation.

S

Study Conversations

Understand what customers actually ask AI.

P

Pinpoint Intent

Identify the decision behind the question.

L

Lay the Context

Give AI the business information it needs to trust you.

A

Assemble Your Message

Turn context into content AI can use as an answer.

S

Spot the Gaps

Find where trust signals are missing or inconsistent.

H

Hone & Scale

Refine what's working. Expand it everywhere.

What we build

Nine trust signals. Three pillars.

AI doesn't recommend businesses at random — it evaluates whether a business is credible, relevant, and easy to trust. We organize that work into three pillars that hold everything up.
