AI CHANGED HOW PEOPLE SEARCH

Modern buyers don’t browse. They choose from AI answers.

AI recommendations reward what models can retrieve, trust, and cite. If you’re not there, you’re not being considered.

What’s happening

The AI Answer Stack is Unstable

When buyers ask AI “who’s best,” the answer is constructed from particular criteria that LLMs evaluate in real-time. This process is inconsistent and often wrong.

A list of reasons why a product or service might be negatively reviewed, including issues like wrong pricing, outdated info, no citations, conflicting information, competitor naming, and reproduction issues, displayed as colorful labels on a dark background.

How to respond

Turn Answer Chaos into a System

Growth Marshal builds the retrieval, trust, and citation layers that get you named in AI answers with consistent, source-backed facts.

A digital flowchart with three main columns labeled 'Resolved alerts,' 'Answer Engine stack,' and 'AI response.' The 'Resolved alerts' column contains five items with check marks and some with flags. The middle column displays steps such as 'Retrieve → Trust → Cite' and includes icons for 'Canonical Entities,' 'Verified Brand Facts,' 'Citable Pages,' 'Structured Data Graph,' 'Authority Proof,' 'Distribution Footprints,' and 'Freshness + Consistency.' The right column shows a box titled 'AI response' with a list that says 'Top options for {X}:' followed by three numbered options: 'Growth Marshal,' 'Alpha,' and 'Bravo,' each with references in brackets.

THAT MEANS…

Modern search requires optimization for answers, not clicks.

Frequently asked questions

  • Growth Marshal is an AI Search Optimization agency that engineers visibility and citations across large language models (LLMs). We make businesses retrievable and citable by building machine-legible identity, deploying entity-linked structured data, and publishing answer-first content designed to be quoted.

  • AI Search Optimization is also referred to as Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). It’s the practice of engineering how AI systems retrieve, validate, and cite information about a brand so you show up as the named recommendation inside AI answers.

  • SEO optimizes for rankings and clicks in search results. AI Search Optimization optimizes for inclusion and citation inside generated answers by strengthening entity signals, publishing verifiable machine-readable facts (like JSON-LD), and upgrading content so it’s easy for models to quote accurately.

  • Growth Marshal focuses exclusively on AI Search Optimization, not general digital marketing. We take a systems-engineering approach and build the technical and semantic infrastructure that improves how LLMs retrieve, validate, and cite your brand: knowledge-graph anchored trust signals, quote-ready content, and machine-readable schema.

  • We engineer three layers: retrieval, trust, and citation. In practice, that includes machine-readable identity and canonical IDs, entity-linked structured data (validator-clean JSON-LD), knowledge graph alignment, answer-first content upgrades, and verification assets like /llms.txt and /brand-facts.

  • Most teams see early movement within 4–6 weeks, with compounding gains over the following months as trust and content layers accumulate. We measure AI visibility using citation rate, share of voice in AI answers, brand mention accuracy, and downstream impact like AI-assisted leads and conversions.

  • It’s a working session.

    We’ll take you through the core pillars of AI search optimization (knowledge graph signals, citation-ready content, entity-first structured data) and leave you with a prioritized plan.

    No theory. Just practical applications.
