Three Ways Customers Find You Now

Search isn't one channel anymore — it's three, and most agencies still only play one of them.

SEO

Gets your website ranked on Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines where people still click through a list of links.

GEO

Gets your brand cited as a source when ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity write an answer.

AEO

Gets your business chosen as the answer itself — the thing an AI assistant recommends by name.

Most buyers now touch all three before they ever fill out a contact form. This case study is what happens when a brand is built for all three at once.


The Challenge

When AIPro.PH launched in 2025 as a rebrand of OutsourceGuruPH, it started with none of the search equity an established domain would carry — a thin backlink profile, no structured data, and zero presence in the AI answer engines a growing share of buyers now consult before they ever open a traditional search engine.


Running on Wix Studio added its own hurdles. A JavaScript-rendered hero video was quietly wrecking mobile Core Web Vitals, and Wix's per-page character limits made deploying complete structured data across the site a real constraint to design around rather than ignore.


The goal was to build a brand that Google would rank, that AI engines would cite, and that AI assistants would choose as the answer — using the exact SEO/GEO/AEO methodology sold to clients, so the results would double as proof it works.


The Strategy, Pillar by Pillar

  • For SEO — technical remediation (fixing the mobile LCP issue caused by the hero video, adding preload hints, deferring third-party scripts, resolving structured-data errors), a tiered keyword architecture so the homepage and service pages never compete with each other, and a deliberate backlink and directory-citation campaign.


  • For GEO — entity-first JSON-LD schema across Organization, Person, Service, BreadcrumbList, and WebPage types, plus a custom llms.txt file, so AI models can parse exactly who AIPro.PH is and what it offers, rather than guessing from unstructured text.


  • For AEO — FAQPage schema and direct-answer-formatted copy built around the specific questions buyers actually ask AI assistants, so the content is shaped to be lifted and served as the answer, not just indexed as a page.


  • Watching it work — OTTO (Search Atlas) for technical SEO health, Semrush for keyword and competitive tracking, and Search Atlas LLM Visibility for ongoing AI-engine mention tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Mode.

#3

“AI digital marketing agency Philippines” — 37% visibility, 12% share of voice

Also ranks #3 for “AI automation services Philippines” (11% visibility). A 50% visibility score means AI assistants surface AIPro.PH in roughly half of all tracked answers to that query. These aren't rankings in a list of ten blue links — they're AIPro.PH being the name an AI assistant actually says out loud when someone asks.

Why It Matters

None of this was inherited. No legacy domain, no decade of backlinks, no head start — every citation, ranking, and AI-engine mention above was earned in the year since the OutsourceGuruPH → AIPro.PH rebrand, using the same SEO/GEO/AEO methodology the agency runs for its clients. It's proof the approach works before a single client dollar is spent testing it.


Want This for Your Brand?

If Google isn't ranking you, ChatGPT isn't citing you, and Gemini isn't recommending you, that's three separate gaps — and this is the methodology that closes all three.
