The search your customer just ran wasn't on Google.

A growing share of local buyers open ChatGPT or Perplexity before they open a browser. The AI gives them a short list of names. Whoever it cites gets the call. Whoever it skips doesn't exist.

→ No list of 10. No second page. Two names. One call.

Google had your customer

The old playbook worked: customer typed a query, Google ranked your site, your phone rang. You built reviews, backlinks, and a presence that the search engine could find and reward.

AI just took them

Now the same buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini first. The AI generates a short list of named businesses and the customer calls whoever it recommends — before opening a browser tab.

You don't know yet

Without SignalAEO, you have no idea whether ChatGPT is recommending you or a competitor. No dashboard tells you. The calls you're not getting don't leave a trace.

How SignalAEO works

Three steps from invisible to cited by name

1. You name the keyword

1
input from you — the keyword your buyers actually ask

Tell us the exact phrase your buyers ask AI when they're ready to hire — the query we rank you for. That's all we need from you. No content to write, no schema to edit, no website access required.

2. Our device farm seeds the signal layer

0
real consumer devices seeding the signals AI learns from

10,000+ real consumer phones and laptops, signed into real accounts across the US metros where your customers live. Our fleet runs the live buyer sessions AI engines learn from when deciding who to name. A datacenter can measure; only real devices can rank.

3. You show up as the answer

0%
average citation growth — measured, not estimated

We run clean validation queries on a separate fleet before and after, so the lift is provable — not vibes. First citation in 14 days; 340% average growth across customers. We send before-and-after reports so you see exactly when AI started naming you.

What 10,000+ real devices looks like

Real phones. Real accounts. Real answers.

Datacenter queries get the API answer. Logged-in consumers on phones get a different one. Only one of those is what your customer sees — and it's the one we seed.

What changes for your business

Citations you earn. Revenue you can trace back to them.

The AI names you when your buyer asks

When someone asks ChatGPT "best [your category] for [your use case]," your business shows up by name — not buried in a list, not paraphrased, not missed.

We do the work on real devices — not a simulation

Our ranking farm runs on 10,000+ real consumer phones and laptops, signed into real accounts in your buyers' cities. That's the signal AI engines actually learn from. A datacenter simulation can measure; only real devices can rank.

You keep running your business

No content to write. No schema tags to edit. No CMS access to grant. We handle every layer of the ranking stack behind the scenes, then send you before-and-after reports so you see exactly when AI started naming you.

Customer results · Named, not anonymous

From invisible to #1 cited — in under 14 days.

Every result below is a real named business with a before-and-after report we'll send you on request. No "up to" language. No anonymous case studies.

Plumbing · Austin, TX

Reliant Plumbing had strong reviews and years of tenure — none of it showing up in AI answers. SignalAEO pointed the device farm at "best plumber in Austin" and Reliant went from invisible to the #1 ChatGPT recommendation. In 14 days. Hands-off.

FAQ

Straight answers. No jargon.

Isn't this just SEO with extra steps?
No. SEO optimizes pages for a crawler that ranks results. AEO optimizes content for an AI that generates answers. The signals that move a Google ranking — backlinks, keyword density, page authority — are not the primary signals ChatGPT or Perplexity use when deciding who to name. They're related, but they're not the same job. If your SEO agency's “AI report” is just a repackaged keyword tracker, ask them how they collected the data.
How do I know the citations you show me are real and not pulled from a datacenter query?
We run every prompt on real consumer phones and laptops signed into real accounts, on residential internet connections, in the metros where your customers actually live. That's the difference between what we show you and what synthetic tools show you. Our fleet accuracy is 98% agreement with manual verification across 2,400 sampled prompts.
My agency says they already do this. What's different?
Most agencies monitor AI visibility by querying the API or running headless browser sessions from a server. Those methods get a categorically different answer than a logged-in consumer on a phone in your city. If your agency's AI report hasn't shown you a before-and-after test with a named metric that moved, ask them how they collected the data. If they can't answer, that's your answer.
How long until I see actual citations — not just a dashboard?
Two clocks run at once. First, the trial promise: every SignalAEO customer gets their first AI citation within 14 days, or the trial extends free. Second, the Signal Authority guarantee: cited in at least 4 of 10 buyer queries on ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini within 30 days of your card being charged — or month 1 is refunded, the next 60 days are free, and you keep every asset we built. Most see movement in under a week.
What happens if ChatGPT changes its model — does this disappear?
Model updates shift citation patterns, and our device farm adapts to them. When the AI changes what it recommends, our signal layer picks up the new pattern and we keep ranking you. That's why an ongoing engagement matters: a citation you earned today can be displaced by a model update next quarter, and a one-off optimization won't defend it. Our farm does.
What access do you need to my website?
None. No CMS logins, no schema tags to edit, no content rewrites. You name the keyword, we handle signal, content, and schema behind the scenes. It's the only hands-off AEO platform built this way.
Can I cancel if it's not working?
Yes. Every plan is month-to-month. On Signal Authority, if you don't hit the day-30 guarantee, we refund month 1 and pause billing for 60 days while we keep working — you don't have to ask, and you don't owe anything during the pause. On every plan, you can cancel anytime and we lose a customer honestly rather than keep one on a contract who isn't getting results.
What's the day-30 Cited-or-Free guarantee on Signal Authority?
It's a promise with a contractual cap, in writing on /guarantee/. We monitor 10 buyer queries (locked at signup) every day on real consumer phones. On day 30 of paid service, if your brand isn't named in at least 4 of those 10 queries on ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini, we refund your month 1 charge and pause billing for the next 60 days — during which we double down. If we still haven't hit the SLA by day 90, the engagement ends and you keep every schema, FAQ pack, content brief, and audit report we produced. Total exposure is capped at month 1 refund + 60 days free + assets retained. Available on Signal Authority only.

If the AI doesn't name you, the customer doesn't call.
