Rank Your Brand Across AI Search Platforms With an AI SEO Agency
Looking to get your site found while everyone else fights over ten blue links? Hustle Marketers works on both halves of modern search: the classic rankings AI answers are assembled from, and whether an assistant actually names you. We use current, documented search practice that combines AI tooling with human review, and we report the two separately.
The AI SEO Company Built for ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity
Hustle Marketers is an AI SEO company founded by Ishant Sharma. Our AI SEO services cover generative engine optimization for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers, alongside the classic SEO those answers still rely on. As an AI SEO agency, we are also a Google Partner, Meta Business Partner and Microsoft Advertising Partner, rated 4.9 out of 5 from 591+ reviews across platforms.
Is AI SEO just SEO with a new name?
That is the question buyers ask most, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a pitch. Google’s John Mueller made the sceptical case more bluntly than any agency would: “The higher the urgency, and the stronger the push of new acronyms, the more likely they’re just making spam and scamming.” He posted that on Bluesky in August 2025, and we think he is right about anyone selling you urgency and a new acronym in the same breath.
Here is the honest split. GEO, AEO and AI SEO overlap heavily and most of the underlying work is shared, but they are not identical. AEO aims at answer surfaces built on a conventional index. GEO aims at what a model synthesises and recommends, where much of the leverage sits on sources you do not own. They are measured on different units, so we run them as one practice with two measurement tracks. Most of what earns a citation is work you should already be paying for: pages that answer real questions, clean technical access, and being mentioned on sources the models trust. If your SEO is already strong, the genuinely new increment is small, and we would rather tell you so than open a second retainer. If you are still choosing between agencies, our guide to hiring a generative engine optimization agency lists the questions to ask, and applies them to us too.
What Does Our AI SEO Agency Work Include?
Classic SEO is not ending. AI answers are assembled from indexed pages, which is exactly why we run both and measure them separately instead of assuming one delivers the other. What has changed is that ranking and being cited are no longer the same outcome, and only one of them shows up in your analytics.
Our AI SEO agency work is built for ecommerce stores, local service businesses, SaaS companies and agencies that want to be named in AI answers as well as ranked. A monthly scope covers crawler and rendering checks, technical fixes, priority pages rewritten into quotable answers, structured data that matches the page, work on the third-party sources assistants cite, and a fixed prompt set re-run on a schedule.
On pricing, SEO with us starts from $500+ a month as a starting range, scoped per site, and fuller strategist-led engagements are quoted separately. Each month you get a written report that keeps classic rankings and AI visibility apart.

Trusted by 2,500+ Brands Worldwide
Over the years Hustle Marketers has scaled 2,500+ brands across SEO and paid search. AI search is the newer part of that record, and we keep the two separate rather than implying every one of those brands was won in AI answers. Our published AEO work includes a New York Judaica store that was listed first under Megastores in a Google AI Mode answer for best judaica store in new york in September 2026. That case study also reports organic clicks up 31 percent and 10.59K free listing clicks, and it names the data source and measurement window for every figure. A second one covers an online pet supply store reporting AED 6.5 million plus in sales, where AI search optimization ran alongside SEO. How closely AI citations track classic rankings varies by query, which is why we measure both instead of assuming one delivers the other. Our skilled AI SEO experts and focused AI SEO specialists have improved sites for online shops, software companies, healthcare, finance, and B2B. If you want the method rather than the hiring decision, our guide to AI search optimization quotes what Google and OpenAI actually document, including Google’s own statement that structured data is not required for generative AI search.
Two newer case studies cover the AI visibility side, with dates and data sources. In the hobby store SEO and AI search case study, P-Rex Hobby’s sessions from AI assistants rose from 489 to 2,807 in GA4 over the 90 days to 5 October 2026, and its Google organic clicks rose from 71.2K to 103K over six months. In the Rec Hall SEO and AI visibility case study, a family entertainment center grew organic clicks 117.4% over a 3 month Search Console comparison and picked up 8 mentions and 13 cited pages across ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Google AI Mode and Gemini.
What an AI SEO Agency Should Actually Do
Six things, and they are deliberately specific. Every one produces something you can open and check: a prompt log, a crawler report, a before and after passage, a branded versus non-branded split. If a service cannot produce an artifact you can inspect, it does not belong on this list.
Prompt Tracking and Share of Voice
We agree a set of buying prompts for your category, then track what each assistant says against them: whether you are cited, mentioned, recommended, misrepresented or missing. That set becomes your baseline. Without one, AI visibility work cannot be checked, only claimed.
Content Written to Be Quoted
Assistants lift short, self-contained answers. We restructure pages so the answer to a real question sits in one extractable passage, with the claim, the number and the source together, instead of spread across four paragraphs of introduction.
Crawler and Rendering Access
An assistant cannot cite a page it cannot fetch or render. We check robots rules and firewall settings for search crawlers such as OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot, keep training controls like GPTBot and Google-Extended as a separate decision, and confirm your content exists in the HTML rather than only after JavaScript runs.
Citation Sources Off Your Own Site
Much of what assistants quote about your category sits on pages you do not own: roundups, forums, review profiles and directories. We find which sources your answers are actually built from, then work on the ones that can be influenced honestly.
Branded Versus Non-Branded Reporting
Growth that is only people typing your name is not new demand. We report branded and non-branded AI visibility separately, because the second half is the only one that shows the work reached buyers who did not already know you.
Re-Testing After Model Updates
Citations move when models change. We re-run the same prompt set on a fixed schedule so you can see whether a result held, and we keep the log. A single test on a single day is a screenshot, not a measurement.
Where We Work to Get Your Brand Cited
There is no ranked list inside ChatGPT, Copilot or Claude to occupy, so we do not promise positions there. We work to get your brand cited and recommended, and we report inclusion across a fixed prompt set on each surface instead.
ChatGPT
We track whether ChatGPT cites, mentions or recommends your brand across your agreed prompt set, check that OpenAI's search crawler can reach your pages, and report ChatGPT on its own line.
Google Gemini
We run the same prompt set in Gemini and report it on its own line, separate from Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, so you can see each Google surface on its own.
Perplexity AI
Perplexity lists its sources with each answer. We track which of your pages, and which third-party pages, it cites for your prompts, and check that its crawler can reach your site.
Microsoft Copilot
Copilot is a Microsoft product, so the work includes Bing Webmaster Tools coverage and IndexNow, alongside prompt tracking in Copilot itself.
Claude AI
We include Claude in the same prompt set, record when it names or cites your brand, and report it on its own line.
How Does an AI SEO Engagement Run, Month by Month?
Every engagement follows the same order, so you know what happens in month one and what comes after it.
Month One: Data and Prompt Baseline
We start with your Search Console and analytics data, keyword demand with real search volume, and an agreed set of buying prompts run across the assistants your customers use, so there is a baseline before anything changes.
A Written Priority Plan
You get a written plan listing the pages, technical fixes and third-party sources we will work on, in priority order, with how each one will be measured.
Pages Rewritten to Be Quoted
We rewrite priority pages so each answer sits in one extractable passage with its source, tighten internal links, and add structured data that matches what the page says.
Crawler, Index and Rendering Fixes
We check that search and AI crawlers can reach and render your pages, then fix the indexing, speed and rendering issues that stop a page being read.
Tracking Across AI Platforms
We track the same prompt set across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Claude, and report each platform separately.
Scheduled Re-Tests and Reporting
We re-run the prompt set on a fixed schedule, report branded and non-branded visibility separately, and record any result that did not hold after a model update.
Where Can You Check Our AI SEO Results?
Every result we publish names its data source and date range. The two AI visibility case studies linked earlier on this page, a Shopify hobby store and a family entertainment center, follow that rule, and the hobby store study also sets out what its numbers do not show. The full list is on our case studies page.
Why Choose Hustle Marketers as Your
AI SEO Company
Six commitments we put in writing before you sign, so you can hold us to them.
We Will Talk About Price Early
Here is the range now: SEO with Hustle Marketers starts from $500+ a month, scoped to your site, the number of prompts and platforms tracked, and how much content and technical work is needed. Fuller strategist-led engagements are quoted separately. We would rather you rule us out cheaply than sit through a discovery process first.
No Guarantees, and Here Is Why
Search Engine Roundtable reported in January 2026 that Google’s Danny Sullivan, talking about tools claiming to write content better, said claims are simply claims and no one can guarantee anything. Nobody controls whether an assistant names your brand. An agency promising you a citation is selling something it cannot deliver.
Attribution We Can Actually Defend
AI assistants usually strip the referrer, so a citation that produced a sale often lands in your analytics as direct traffic. Five of the seventeen pages we read claim revenue or pipeline figures. Not one states the attribution model behind the number. We separate what is measured, what is correlated and what customers told us themselves.
We Report the Result That Did Not Hold
Citations move. Someone who discloses he built one of these AI visibility tools put it publicly: even for market-leading brands, a single prompt can produce different recommendations day to day. If a win disappears after a model update, it goes in your report, because the alternative is a screenshot you cannot act on.
You Know Who Runs Your Account
Ishant Sharma has worked in Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and SEO since 2013 and leads strategy on the accounts behind our published case studies. This category advertises headcount freely, 750 experts, 300 plus, 250 plus specialists. Not one of the seventeen pages we read names the person who would be assigned to you.
How to Read Those Best Agency Lists
Five of the seven best AI SEO agency roundups we read rank their own company first, and a sixth includes itself in a list written by its own chief executive. We found no conflict disclosure on any of them, though we did not question them on disclosure directly. Ask who wrote the list you are reading.
Which Industries Does Our AI SEO Agency Work With?
Buyers ask assistants different questions in each industry, so the prompt set and the third-party sources we work on change by sector. Here is how the work shifts for the businesses we serve.
Ecommerce Brands
Collection, category and product pages written the way shoppers phrase questions, with consistent product data on Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and other platforms.
B2B Companies
Comparison and problem pages that answer the questions buyers ask before a sales call, plus work on the review and listing sites assistants cite for your category.
Healthcare & Medical Businesses
Service pages with clear, sourced answers and consistent practice details, so assistants describe what you offer accurately.
Finance & FinTech Companies
Plain, sourced answers to rate, fee and eligibility questions, and consistent business details across the profiles assistants draw on.
Education & EdTech Platforms
Course and certification pages that answer what students ask about entry requirements, duration, cost and outcomes.
Real Estate Businesses
Local area and listing pages with consistent business details, so assistants can match you to location-based questions.
Local Service Companies
Google Business Profile, local pages and consistent listings, so assistants and map results can name you for near me searches.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI SEO company?
An AI SEO company improves how your business shows up in AI-assisted search, such as Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT and Perplexity, as well as in normal search results. At Hustle Marketers that means SEO fundamentals plus checks on how AI tools find, read and describe your brand.
What is the difference between AI SEO, GEO and AEO?
They are overlapping names for the same goal: being found and cited in AI-generated answers. GEO (generative engine optimization) and AEO (answer engine optimization) are common labels. The work underneath is mostly good SEO, clear answers, accurate business information and mentions on sources AI tools trust.
What does AI SEO work include?
Technical checks so search and AI crawlers can reach your pages, content that answers buyer questions directly, structured data that matches what is on the page, consistent business information across directories and profiles, and tracking of a fixed set of buying prompts across AI tools.
Is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?
Less than most vendors claim. Google says there are no extra technical requirements for AI Overviews and AI Mode beyond being indexed and eligible for a snippet. What changes is measurement and the weight given to off-site mentions, reviews and directory profiles that AI tools draw on.
Which AI crawlers should I allow?
It depends on what you want. Search crawlers such as OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT search) and PerplexityBot affect whether you can be cited. Training crawlers such as GPTBot and the Google-Extended control affect model training, not Google Search rankings. We review your robots rules and firewall settings with that difference in mind.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
It is optional. llms.txt is a proposed convention, not a requirement from Google or any major AI search tool, and no one has shown it is needed to be cited. We can add one, but we do not treat it as a ranking factor.
How do you measure AI SEO results?
Search Console shows AI Overviews and AI Mode impressions where enough data exists, GA4 shows visits from AI assistants, and we track a fixed panel of buying prompts across AI tools, recording mentions and cited pages over time. AI answers vary, so we compare repeated runs rather than single screenshots.
How long does AI SEO take to show results?
Technical fixes and on-page answers can be picked up within weeks of being crawled. Changes that depend on reviews, directory listings and third-party mentions take months, because AI tools need to see consistent information across many sources.
Can you guarantee my brand appears in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?
No. No one controls what AI tools say. We improve the signals they rely on and report honestly on what changes in a fixed set of prompts over time.
How do I get started?
Book a free audit through our contact page. We check your crawl access, key pages and how AI tools currently describe your brand for the prompts your buyers use.
Who owns the content and data you create?
You do. Content, technical fixes and reports are yours, and your Google Search Console, Google Analytics and website access stay in your name. We are added as users, so nothing is lost if you change providers.
How do you report SEO progress?
You get a monthly report covering rankings for agreed keywords, organic traffic, leads or sales from organic search, and the work completed and planned. We focus on business results rather than ranking screenshots alone.
Where is your team based?
Our team is based in Zirakpur, India, and works with clients worldwide, including the US, UK, Canada and Australia. SEO plans start from $500+ a month as a starting range, are scoped to your site and goals, and fuller strategist-led engagements are quoted separately.
