FAQ
Questions buyers ask before they start
Does AI visibility work replace SEO?
No. It adds direct checks of generated answers and sources while relying on many of the same website, content, and trust foundations.
Can two agencies work together?
Yes, if everyone knows who owns each task. One partner can check AI answers while the SEO agency handles search, content, website work, or promotion.
What should reporting include?
It should show the questions, where the brand appeared, competitors, sources, work completed, and useful search or business results.
When is one partner better?
One partner can be better when too many teams are slowing the work down and one skilled team can own the full plan.
