The shift

Search results are turning into answers.

Your buyers don’t sift through ten blue links anymore. They ask the model and get one confident answer — with a few alternates. If you’re not there, you don’t exist.

  • • LLMs recommend competitors you’ve never even heard of.
  • • Your category pages aren’t what models ever cite.
  • • PR hits and case studies don’t show up in AI conversations.
  • • You have no idea when or why you’re mentioned.
AEO for AI search

DataNerds shows you what AI is really saying about you.

Instead of guessing, you see exactly:

  • • Which prompts mention your brand vs. default to competitors.
  • • Which pages and sources models are citing (or ignoring).
  • • Concrete changes that increase your share of “default answers”.

Then we help you ship those fixes — across site content, proof assets, and structured data — so LLMs have no choice but to take you seriously.

Three pieces to modern Answer Engine Optimization.

See where you stand, understand why, then take the shortest path to being recommended.

1
LLM visibility & mention tracking

Monitor how often AI systems surface your` brand — by model, prompt theme, and intent. Spot blind spots where you should be mentioned but aren’t.

Think: “Are we ever recommended when someone asks for tools like us?”
2
Source & citation intelligence

See which pages, articles, and third-party sites models actually cite when they mention you or your competitors. Align your SEO, content, and PR to those signals.

Turn vague “we need more content” into precise “we need these pages to rank and be cited.”
3
AEO playbooks & execution support

Opinionated playbooks that turn insight into work items: what to change on your site, what to publish next, and how to structure it for AI consumption.

Do it in-house, or let us ship it for you alongside your existing SEO/PR motion.

How it works

A short project, not a never-ending retainer. Designed to give you a lasting advantage as AI search keeps evolving.

1
Map your AI search reality

We plug in prompts your buyers actually use — by persona and stage — and benchmark how often different models mention you vs. competitors.

2
Identify gaps & leverage points

We analyze which pages and proof points models rely on, where you’re under-represented, and which fixes unlock the biggest answer share.

3
Ship the AEO playbook

You get a concrete implementation plan — or we help your team execute — focusing on the highest-impact content, structure, and distribution changes.
