Consultancies, agencies, staffing, and professional services competing for high-value engagements decided by a shortlist of three.
B2B services buyers build a shortlist before they contact anyone — from search, from directories, from peers, and now from AI assistants. The firms that make the list publish specific service pages, verifiable proof, and pricing signals. The ones that don't rely on referrals and wonder why growth is flat.
Buyers don't choose from the market. They choose from a shortlist of three — assembled without you in the room.
— Arise GEO, B2B Services & Agencies
A case study without numbers is a testimonial. A case study with numbers is a citation.
— Arise GEO, B2B Services & Agencies
One page per service and per vertical served, with scope, deliverables, timelines, and pricing signals stated plainly.
Structured case studies with problem, method, and quantified outcome — formatted so both buyers and AI engines can extract the result.
Clutch, G2, industry directories, and best-of roundups are heavily retrieved for agency queries. We audit and build presence across them.
Entity clarity plus corroborated proof determines whether an AI shortlist includes your firm or three competitors.
We can promise this because our methodology already works. Hundreds of pages now sit in position #1 across our clients' catalogs. The risk shouldn't be on you — it's on us.
Referrals still get verified in search and AI before a call is booked. Even referral-driven firms lose deals to a weak or unstructured digital footprint.
Ranges, yes. It filters unqualified leads, builds trust, and gives AI engines a concrete fact to cite about your firm.
For AI retrieval, significantly. Directories and roundups are among the most frequently cited sources for best agency queries.
Yes — we run forensic audits and GEO programs under white label for agencies without in-house depth.
Three layers, in order. First, entity clarity: one canonical Organization with @id anchors, sameAs links to authoritative databases, and knowsAbout coverage of your real expertise. Second, extractable content: atomic answer blocks, comparison tables, transparent pricing and specs, and FAQ blocks on every commercial page. Third, corroboration: mentions in the roundups, directories, review platforms, and trade publications those engines retrieve. Measure it by probing a fixed set of buying questions monthly and tracking citation frequency per engine.
Citability. AI engines lift passages that answer one question completely in 40–80 words, in plain language, with a concrete number, definition, or list. Pages that bury the answer under narrative rarely get quoted. We rewrite key pages so every important question has a self-contained answer block, wrapped in schema that labels what it is.
Yes, because AI answers are built from indexed pages. Every major assistant retrieves from a crawled index, so pages that aren't crawlable, renderable, or structured never enter the candidate pool. Classic SEO is now the entry requirement for AI visibility, and the two programs share almost all of the same work.
Technical recovery and on-page work typically show movement in 30–60 days. AI citation lift on long-tail and comparison queries usually lands in 30–90 days. Category-level authority and head-term rankings are a 6–12 month curve. Every engagement ships a sequenced 90-day plan so early wins fund the long work.
You get a forensic audit, a prioritized 90-day execution plan with effort and impact scoring, and optional done-for-you implementation by our engineers and editors. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on catalog size, locale count, and whether you want execution included. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see results in 3–6 months, we refund you in full.
Audits scoped within 24 hours. Results within 90 days, or your money back.
