Helping Washington businesses get cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews — so the buyers who skip Google still find you.
Your buyers have changed how they search. A Seattle product lead researching a vendor no longer types five Google queries and reads ten blog posts. He asks ChatGPT once and gets a short answer with two or three recommended companies. If you are not on that list, you do not get the meeting.
Washington is the tech and cloud capital of the world. The state is home to Microsoft (Redmond), Amazon (Seattle), Costco (Issaquah), Starbucks (Seattle), Boeing Commercial Airplanes (Renton, Everett), T-Mobile (Bellevue), Nordstrom (Seattle), Expedia, Zillow, Weyerhaeuser, F5 Networks, Concur (SAP), Tableau (Salesforce), Smartsheet, and the dense layer of AI labs and growth-stage SaaS firms across Seattle and the Eastside. The decision-makers at those companies, and at the thousands of mid-market firms supplying them, run high-stakes vendor evaluations. They are exactly the audience adopting AI search the fastest.
The same shift is happening in the cloud and AI ecosystem around Microsoft and Amazon’s campuses, in the commercial aerospace base around Boeing Everett and Renton, in the biotech and global-health corridor around Fred Hutch and the Gates Foundation, in the gaming and creator-tech ecosystem (Bungie, Valve, Wizards of the Coast), and in the agriculture and wine ecosystem in eastern Washington. Wherever your buyer is in Washington, they are increasingly asking an AI model for the shortlist before they ever land on your site.
Rank System AI exists to make sure your business is on that shortlist. We optimize for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — the two practices that decide which brands AI models cite, recommend, and hand to your prospects.
weekly ChatGPT users (OpenAI public disclosure, 2025). Your B2B buyers are inside this number.
of US Google searches now show AI Overviews (industry tracking, 2025). The share keeps climbing.
of US businesses have not yet optimized for AI search (industry tracking, 2025). The first movers in Washington will own these citations for years.
Numbers are directional industry estimates as of 2026 and are refreshed quarterly.
Washington’s economy is anchored by cloud, aerospace, and consumer brands. We tune our AEO and GEO process to the buying patterns of these eight sectors.
Microsoft (Redmond), Amazon Web Services (Seattle), Tableau, Smartsheet, F5 Networks, Concur, Expedia, plus the dense AI lab base (AI2, OpenAI Seattle, Anthropic, Cohere). AI models decide who gets evaluated. We help cloud, AI-infrastructure, and SaaS firms become the obvious recommendation for their category.
Boeing Commercial Airplanes (Renton, Everett), Boeing Defense, Spirit AeroSystems, Aerojet Rocketdyne, plus a deep tier of suppliers across the Puget Sound aerospace cluster. We build the citation footprint and structured content that gets cleared suppliers and primes recommended when program offices research.
Costco (Issaquah), Starbucks (Seattle), Nordstrom (Seattle), REI (Kent), Amazon Retail, Eddie Bauer, Tully’s, plus a deep DTC and Shopify ecosystem behind them. We help retail brands and ecommerce sellers show up when shoppers ask AI models for product recommendations, gift ideas, or category leaders.
Providence (Renton), UW Medicine, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Seattle Children’s, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, plus the biotech base across South Lake Union (Adaptive Biotechnologies, Sana Biotechnology, Seagen / Pfizer). We build the citation footprint that gets device makers, hospitals, and healthtech vendors recommended.
T-Mobile (Bellevue), AT&T regional, Expedia Group, Zillow, Convoy (legacy), plus a deep mobile-tech and logistics-tech base across Bellevue. We position telecom, mobile, and logistics-tech firms so AI tools recommend them when carriers, shippers, and corporate buyers research.
Weyerhaeuser (Seattle), Zillow, Redfin, Holland Residential, plus the deep commercial real estate ecosystem from downtown Seattle to Bellevue. We work with builders, brokerages, hospitality operators, and proptech firms to get cited when buyers, investors, and developers ask AI models for the shortlist.
Bungie (Bellevue), Valve (Bellevue), Wizards of the Coast (Renton), Nintendo of America (Redmond), Big Fish Games, plus the dense creator-tools and esports ecosystem. We position gaming-tech, creator-tools, and esports vendors so AI tools cite them when studios and creators research.
Costco’s grocery operations, Starbucks Coffee Roasting, Washington wine country (Walla Walla, Yakima), apple and cherry growers, Tyson’s PNW operations, plus the dense food-processing and beverage ecosystem. We work with food brands, agtech firms, and beverage producers to get cited in AI answers about ingredients, sourcing, and supply chain partners.
We map exactly where your brand currently shows up — and does not — across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. You see your starting score, your top-three competitors’ scores, and the queries you are losing.
Most Washington businesses have weak or fragmented entity data. We fix it. Wikidata, Google Knowledge Panel, schema.org, industry directories, third-party knowledge graphs — all aligned, all consistent, all pointing back to you.
Traditional SEO content does not get cited by LLMs. We rebuild your highest-value pages and create new ones in the structure AI models actually pull from — clear answer blocks, defensible claims, structured comparisons, clean entity references.
AI models trust what other trusted sources say about you. We pursue mentions, reviews, and references across the publications and directories the AI models weight most heavily for your category and geography.
You get a monthly report showing your AI visibility score, your citation count, your competitors, and the prompts you now own versus the ones still up for grabs. We iterate every month.
We work with businesses across the state. Our most common engagements come from these metro areas:
We also serve businesses in Redmond, Issaquah, Bothell, Olympia, Bellingham, Walla Walla, Pasco, Mukilteo, and the surrounding metros.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot each weight content differently. We track all six and tune for the ones your buyers actually use.
The thing that moves revenue is whether your brand gets cited when a prospect asks a real buying question. That is what we measure and what we report on.
Cleaning up Wikidata entries, fixing knowledge graphs, aligning schema across a site — it is unglamorous work, and it is the foundation of AI visibility. We do it.
This is what we do. Every system, every report, every playbook is built for AI search — not bolted on to an SEO service line.
Started with zero AI citations across the major models. After ninety days of entity setup, content rework, and citation building, the company was being recommended in ChatGPT and Perplexity for its top three product queries. The platform buyers who used to find them on page two of Google were now hearing the brand name first.
Selling into program offices that increasingly start with AI research. We rebuilt the knowledge graph and got the company cited in Gemini and Claude for its specific mission profile. Inbound RFQs sourced from AI-led searches went up.
The competitor was already showing up in AI answers. We did the audit, found the structured-content gaps, and rebuilt the cornerstone pages. Within a quarter the firm was being cited for the high-intent queries the partners cared about.
Examples reflect typical engagement patterns. Specific results depend on industry, starting position, and category competitiveness.
SEO gets you ranked on Google’s blue links. AEO and GEO get you cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — where an increasing share of your buyers start. Most WA businesses already do SEO. Almost none are optimized for AI search yet, which is why the window is open.
Most clients start seeing citation movement in 60 to 90 days. Full visibility for high-intent queries usually takes 4 to 6 months, depending on category competitiveness. Healthcare, aerospace, and biotech take longer because the AI models are more conservative in those verticals.
Yes. Our process is the same whether you are in Bellevue, Tacoma, Spokane, Vancouver, Yakima, or a smaller community. AI models do not care about geography the way Google’s local pack does — they care about authority signals, which we can build for any Washington business.
We have packages built for small Washington businesses, mid-market firms, and enterprises with multiple product lines. The audit is free.
No. We work alongside your existing SEO team, content agency, or in-house marketers. AEO and GEO are additive layers on top of solid SEO foundations.
Monthly reports showing your citation count by AI platform, your visibility score versus your top three competitors, the prompts you now win, the prompts still up for grabs, and the revenue-relevant queries we have moved you on. No vanity metrics.
Highly regulated and high-stakes categories require specific entity work — FAA references, ITAR/DoD credentials, FDA references, and SOC 2 / ISO compliance. We build that into the content and schema layer so AI models treat your firm as a credible reference.
It is mostly technical content and entity work, and we do the heavy lifting. Your team reviews and approves. The lift on your side is usually one or two hours of subject-matter input per month after the initial audit.
We benchmark your brand across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot, compare you to your top three Washington competitors, and hand you a written report with the queries you are losing and the ones you can win first.
No sales pitch. No pressure to buy. Even if we never work together, the report is yours to keep.
