When your potential customers ask ChatGPT for a recommendation, let’s make sure it’s you.




You’ll see a lot of terms on the internet, like GEO (generative engine optimization), AEO (answer engine optimization), LLMO (large language model optimization), AI SEO, that basically describe the same idea of getting your business found, cited, and recommended by AI platforms. We keep it simple and just call it AI digital marketing.
More and more buyers are going to AI platforms for recommendations on products and services. Optimizing for search engines is still important, but people are now forming an opinion before visiting websites from search engines. To be in the running, you need to be not only mentioned but also recommended by AI platforms.


AI platforms can only cite something specific, like original data, a named expert, a clearly structured page, or a direct answer to a specific question. Our content process starts with your firsthand perspective because we’re not interested in flooding the internet with filler to trick a machine into noticing you.
Aside from your website, AI pulls from Google Business Profile reviews, Reddit threads, and what real people are saying about you across the internet. It can be the difference between being mentioned and being recommended. We factor that into our strategy too to go beyond what’s on your site.

Reach out and we’ll show you exactly where your business shows up (or doesn’t) across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, Claude, and other AI platforms.
What We Do
AI marketing is new enough that a lot of agencies are making promises no one can actually back up.
Here’s what to expect when it comes to how we measure results, who’s actually doing the work, and how we use AI along the way.
We can track mentions, share of voice against named competitors, branded search lift, and assisted conversions (sales that started with an AI mention). What we can’t do yet is guarantee a specific ranking inside a specific AI answer, and if an agency’s promised you that, ask what they’re actually measuring.
A lead strategist and a content lead review every recommendation before it goes live, nothing gets approved by an AI agent or dashboard. Getting cited takes a human judgment call about what’s actually worth citing, and that’s the job they do.
We use AI to speed up research and drafting while adhering to strict standards of ethical AI use. Our full policy, including how we handle AI’s environmental cost, is public, read our AI Manifesto.

Google’s AI Overview cites Intuitive Digital for “ai marketing services,” while our site ranks 38th in the regular search results for that same term. AI citations and organic rankings are separate games, and we earned the citation without the ranking.
That’s the point worth noticing. You don’t need to outrank everyone to get named in an AI answer, which is why it’s worth starting now instead of waiting.

We’ve helped nonprofits, home services contractors, credit unions, schools, and travel and hospitality brands grow how often they get found. Here’s one example. You can find more in our work library.
This is a good fit if: | This may not be a fit if: |
You are already visible in traditional search and want to hold that position as AI answers take over more of the results page. | You want the lowest possible monthly cost. Our Affordable Digital Marketing services are built for that. |
You have a real budget and want strategy, not just production. | You want guaranteed placement in a specific AI answer. Nobody can promise that, and we won’t pretend otherwise. |
You need reporting that stands up in a leadership or board meeting. | You need results this month. Earning mentions and citations takes steady work over months, not weeks. |
Your buyers do research before they commit, so the consideration stage matters. |

Proven Process
We start by mapping how you and your competitors are showing up on AI platforms. Then, we build a plan aimed at answering what your potential customers are asking on those platforms.
We create the original content, technical fixes, and citation-worthy work most likely to earn a mention, and a strategist reviews every piece before it goes live.
As we start earning mentions and citations, we double down on what’s working and rethink what isn’t. This is where your share of voice starts to shift, and where you start showing up in new answers.

Work with a strategist to map out where your buyers are asking, and a plan to get you in front of them.
SEO helps your site rank in traditional search results, while GEO and AEO are more specific terms for getting content and your brand surfaced and cited inside AI-generated answers. We like to keep it simple and use AI digital marketing as the umbrella term we use for everything aimed at getting your business found in and recommended by AI platforms.
An AI marketing agency helps businesses show up inside AI-generated answers, on platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity, rather than just traditional search results. Some agencies also use AI tools to produce marketing work faster, an approach some call AI-driven digital marketing services. As an AI marketing agency based in Oregon, we do both, but focus our strategy on the first.
AI digital marketing is the practice of helping a business get found, named, and cited inside AI-generated answers, not just traditional search results. It covers content, technical SEO, and paid media, all aimed at how AI platforms find and quote information. Some people call it GEO or AI SEO marketing, but it describes the same core work.
Costs vary widely depending on your industry, competition, and how much ground you need to gain. Whether you’re pricing out a single AI marketing service or a full AI digital marketing package, most partners invest a similar range to traditional SEO or content marketing, since the underlying work is comparable. Ask for a specific quote based on your business rather than trusting a generic number online.
Businesses can track mentions and citations across AI platforms, share of voice against named competitors, lift in branded search, and assisted conversions tied to an AI mention. Not everything is measurable yet, and a trustworthy partner will tell you which numbers are solid and which are still developing. Be cautious of anyone who claims total precision here.
Ethical AI marketing means using AI tools to speed up research and drafting while keeping a person responsible for every final decision. It also means disclosing where AI was used and refusing to automate judgment calls that affect a brand’s reputation. As a certified B Corp, we also weigh the environmental cost of running AI at scale.
AI marketing is the use of artificial intelligence, tools like machine learning and large language models, to plan, produce, or optimize marketing work. It can mean using AI to write and design faster, or it can mean marketing aimed at getting found inside AI-generated answers. The two get confused often, so it’s worth asking which one a person means.
AI in marketing refers to the technology itself: the tools and models that help marketers analyze data, generate content, or personalize experiences at a scale a person couldn’t manage alone. AI is a tool, not a strategy on its own. How well it works depends entirely on the judgment guiding it.
AI marketing works by combining research, original content, and technical structure so that both people and AI platforms can find, understand, and trust your business. A strategist identifies where your buyers are asking questions, on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, or elsewhere, then builds content and site structure aimed at earning a mention there. It’s reviewed by a person at every step, not left to run on its own.
AI brand visibility is how often, and how accurately, your business shows up inside AI-generated answers when someone asks a relevant question. It’s measured through mentions, citations, and share of voice against your named competitors. Strong AI visibility means your business is part of the shortlist before a buyer ever visits a website.
AI tools can spot patterns in campaign data faster, and with more accuracy, than manual review, flagging what’s driving results and what’s wasting budget. They’re best used to support a strategist’s decisions, not replace them, since AI can find a pattern but can’t judge whether it’s the right one for your business. This is what AI is good at and that combination improves both the speed and accuracy of ROI tracking.
You improve AI citations by publishing original content, data, or expertise that AI platforms can’t find anywhere else, since rehashed content gives them nothing to point to. Clear structure also matters. Content that directly and simply answers a specific question is far easier for an AI platform to quote accurately.
No, AI search doesn’t replace SEO, but it does change what SEO needs to accomplish. Traditional search still matters, but a growing share of buyers now form an opinion from an AI-generated answer before ever clicking a search result. The work that gets you cited in that answer overlaps with SEO, sometimes labeled AI SEO marketing, but it isn’t identical to it.
