SEO
SEO isn't dying; it's evolving.

Let's look at the numbers
Buyers don't start on Google anymore.
They ask an LLM for a shortlist. They validate one or two names on Google. If your software is not on that shortlist, the conversation never reaches you.
51%

The game has changed.
- SEO = Google
- Results = Organic Clicks
- Content + Backlinks
- Technical SEO = Googlebot
- Little-to-no ROI scrutiny
- Long-term planning
And let's not forget
the 2 elements that were added to the mix
AEO
AEO isn't replacing SEO; it's expanding it.
AEO is a new marketing channel, not a replacement to Google. We help you win in both.

Founder, ANTE
A note from the founder
ANTE is boutique by design. A small client list means the relationship gets to be hyper-personal. Every AEO question, every citation, every drop in visibility lands on my desk like it's my own company on the line. Because functionally, it is.
You shouldn't take my word for it though. Compare ANTE to other agencies in this space. Ask the hard questions. If we're not the right fit for what you need, I'll be the first to tell you who is.
And if you choose to move forward with us as a partner, I'll do whatever it takes to prove you right.

You've got the questions, we've got the answers.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for ranking in Google's blue-link results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes for being cited in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. The technical work overlaps (schema, page structure, page speed), but the off-site strategy is different. AEO depends heavily on listicle inclusion, Reddit presence, and entity authority. Not just backlinks.
Why does Bing matter? Nobody uses Bing.
A large share of ChatGPT's search citations come from Bing's index. ChatGPT Search runs on Bing. If you're invisible on Bing, you're invisible to ChatGPT Search. Getting properly indexed in Bing Webmaster Tools is one of the highest-ROI single actions you can take for ChatGPT visibility.
How long until I see results?
Schema and llms.txt are visible to AI engines within 30 days. Listicle inclusions typically land 60-120 days after the first pitch wave. Citation count meaningfully shifts in 90 days. Traffic and revenue impact follows by month 6+. Anyone promising faster than this is overstating.
Can you guarantee citations?
No agency can. What we do guarantee: 100% schema coverage by week 4, llms.txt published in week 1, weekly citation monitor live by week 4, four listicle pitches sent in month 1. Citations are downstream of those deliverables. If they aren't happening, we extend without billing until they are.
Why $6,000/month? Why not less?
It's what it costs for founder-led delivery on a real AEO program. Citation tracking infrastructure, listicle outreach, technical work, content production, and a real strategy mind on your account every week. We've done the math. Below this, the work cuts corners; the corners cost you citations.
I've been burned by an SEO agency before. Why should I trust you?
Fair. Three answers. One: pricing is on this page, no surprise quote inflation. Two: 90-day minimum, then month-to-month. You can leave if it isn't working. Three: the founder did this on her own brand before charging anyone. ANTE is the first place I'd send a friend who needed this, and that's the bar.
