How your buyers shop now

Your buyers ask AI who to buy from, and it gives them a shortlist

When AI leaves you off that shortlist, brokerage owners, controllers, and borrowers never reach your site, and your analytics can’t show the deals you lost.

51% of B2B software buyers now start research in an AI chatbot more often than in Google (G2, April 2026).

What we do

SEO, AI search, and content-led PR, built to fill your pipeline

We run all 3 as one program, since the pages, research, and links that rank you in Google also feed AI answers.

Service What we do For your pipeline

We find the Google searches that lead to sales in your category and build pages that rank for them.

Buyers comparing options land on your site and ask for a demo, a quote, or a call.

AI search (GEO)

More on GEO →

We track which sources AI assistants cite in your category and earn your brand a place in them.

Your brand makes the shortlist AI gives your buyers.

We build original research about your market and pitch it to the publications your buyers read.

Links and coverage that lift your rankings, plus a report that brings in leads on its own.

How working with us goes

  1. Month 1

    We interview you and your customers, dig into the data, audit your site & socials, map the searches and AI questions that end in deals, size up the growth opportunities, run a cost/benefit, and rank the work by the leads it could bring.

  2. Every month

    We ship new pages, research, code fixes, and pitches, then report the leads and revenue our actions brought in month over month.

  3. Between reports

    If AI starts naming a competitor for your buyers’ questions, we bring you a plan before you ask.

FAQs

What do you sell?–

SEO, GEO (also called AEO), and content-led PR for proptech and fintech brands that need search visibility to turn into revenue.

GEO means getting your brand named and cited when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI answers who to trust. Behind all 3 sit content-led strategy, technical SEO, original content creation, distribution, and full-funnel measurement, built to make you the go-to resource for your audience.

Depending on your needs, the work can include technical audits, editorial calendars, interview-driven articles, original research, content-led PR, earned media coverage, executive thought leadership, and reporting tied to leads and revenue.

Who do you work with?+

We specialize in real estate and finance brands, from proptech and fintech companies to lenders, brokerages, and financial services firms.

Years in those markets taught us how to reach sophisticated audiences who are about to make big financial decisions, and that carries over to other B2B brands with complex offerings and long sales cycles. Here’s what that experience brings to your team:

  • The strategic rigor you need to handle complex products, long sales cycles, and buying committees.
  • Messaging that builds trust when buyers are about to make a significant financial commitment.
  • The ability to translate technical, regulated, or nuanced offerings into stories people understand quickly.
  • Precision targeting that puts specialized messages in front of specialized audiences.
  • Performance accountability in markets where outcomes are measurable and business impact matters.
  • Market credibility that builds your reputation and sets you apart from competitors.
What does it cost?+

Plans start at $10,000/month.

Each plan covers strategy, content, links, and reporting, scoped to the channels most likely to bring you leads first. Month 1 is strategy only, and you can leave with 30 days’ notice.

What’s so special about your approach?+

Everything.

Honed by decades of experience in high-stakes proptech and fintech markets, our approach is designed to maximize flexibility and value.

Here’s how we do it:

We listen and learn. Using search, social, competitive analysis and customer intent data, we identify awareness and revenue potential.

We fine-tune your foundation. And make sure your site is crawlable, well-structured and credible enough to compete in both search and AI-driven discovery.

We differentiate your content. And create unique assets built around subject matter expertise, original insight and customer value.

We deliver that content to the people looking for it. So your brand reaches the right channels and publications—and influences the market and the algorithms that govern your reach.

We measure and refine ad infinitum. We go beyond rankings and traffic to track pipeline, leads and revenue. And as the market evolves, so do we, ensuring your strategy remains flexible enough to capitalize on new opportunities.

How and when do you use AI?+

We use AI the way we’ve used every marketing tool that came before it, when it’s smart.

Our strategists, writers, and analysts use it, including Claude, to test the questions your buyers ask and to sort through search data. Your competitors are racing to put AI to work too, so we use it to make your brand more distinct and keep it from sounding like everyone else’s.

The strategy that guides your marketing, the ideas that set your brand apart, and the expertise that qualifies your leads come from our team. A person signs off on every piece, and we don’t sell shortcuts or citation tricks.

How do you measure success?+

First and foremost, with qualified leads and revenue, tracked from the first visit to the closed deal.

Content marketing is an endurance sport, so we watch the leading indicators too. From day one, you get a month-over-month reporting dashboard with full visibility into your funnel.

Each month, we show you what we did, how we did it, what it brought in, and what we’d change next.

Can you provide case studies?+

We sure can.

Our Case Studies page walks through past programs in real estate, finance, and B2B, including what we did and what it brought in. On a call, we can walk you through the ones closest to your business, and we’d love to add you to the roster.

What happens on the free teardown?+

We run your buyers’ questions through ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google before we meet, so the 20-minute call goes straight to what we found and what to fix first.

You keep the 2–3 fixes whether or not we work together. If we think we can help, we’ll tell you what we’d do first and what it costs, and if we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
