AI Autority optimizaton packages

Which AI Authority Package Fits Your Business?

The way potential customers search for services online is changing fast. Instead of just clicking traditional blue search results, prospects are asking AI assistants direct, conversational questions like: 

  • "Who are the best payroll providers?"
  • "Who should I hire for commercial roofing?"
  • "What CRM works best for manufacturers?"

If major AI engines don't recognize your company as a trusted entity, your business simply won't be mentioned or recommended in those answers.

Our AI Authority Optimization Packages are built specifically for companies competing in aggressive markets that want to dominate conversational AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity while defending and building their traditional Google search rankings.


Both plans build upon the core foundation of our Premier SEO Plan (including all non-content writing services) to feed modern AI systems the structured signals they reward most: deep topical authority, trusted entity markup, expert-authored content, high-quality citations, and a technically sound, machine-readable website.

What's the Difference Between Our AI Authority Packages?

Just like our standard SEO packages, choosing the right AI Authority package depends on your business size, revenue, and how aggressively your competitors are fighting for market share. We offer two distinct tiers to match your specific competitive landscape:

  • Mid-Level AI Authority Package ($7,500/mo): Designed for national or multi-location companies operating in moderate-competition industries, or businesses with less competition looking for a reliable, scaled approach to build AI visibility.

  • Top-Level AI Authority Package ($12,500/mo): Built for large, national, or multi-location enterprises fighting in highly aggressive, crowded markets where AI visibility is rapidly becoming a primary sales channel.

How AI SEO (Generative Engine Optimization) Works

Generative AI platforms don't rank web pages using simple keyword density or basic backlink counts. Instead, they synthesize responses by evaluating Entity Authority, Topical Coverage, and Multi-Source Information Gain.

When an AI engine receives a query, it searches across structured schema, author profiles, industry citations, and semantic content across the web to confirm who you are, what you do, and why you are the trusted expert in your field. If your online presence lacks structured schema markup, clear entity relationships, or deep educational content covering your industry's sub-topics, AI platforms default to recommending competitors who give them clearer, machine-readable signals.

Our 7-phase framework systematically closes these authority gaps so AI models recognize, cite, and recommend your business.

What is Included in the AI Authority Packages?

Both tiers follow our proven, process-driven framework to systematically build, expand, and defend your brand's AI presence.

Phase 1 - AI Visibility Audit & Research

We begin with deep diagnostic testing to uncover exactly how major AI engines perceive your brand compared to your primary competitors.

  • AI Mention Benchmarking: We run diagnostic testing across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity across commercial and transactional query types (e.g., Best..., Top..., Alternatives to..., Compare..., Reviews...) to score your mention frequency, position, sentiment, accuracy, and competitor presence.
  • AI Gap Analysis: We identify educational and topical voids where AI models expect authoritative content that your website currently lacks.
  • Entity Analysis: We review your Organization, Product, FAQ, Person/Author, Article, Review, and SameAs schema markup, alongside Wikidata, Knowledge Graphs, Bing Knowledge, Apple Business Connect, LinkedIn, and core profiles to find missing entity relationships.
  • Topical Authority Map: We map out a complete semantic topical graph connecting your main service offerings down to specialized sub-topics, variants, and buyer intent.
  • Competitor AI Analysis: We deconstruct competitor authority signals across backlinks, citations, PR, author profiles, and discussions on Wikipedia, Reddit, Quora, and trade websites to determine why AI trusts them.
  • Authority Gap Scorecard: We create a weighted scorecard evaluating your website, entity, content, citation, review, media, backlink, freshness, and AI mention authority.
  • Phase 1 Deliverables: Executive Summary, Priority Roadmap, 12-Month Strategy, Editorial Calendar, and Content Roadmap.

Phase 2 - Technical AI Optimization

We implement technical edits on your existing website structure and content to ensure complete machine-readability.

  • Schema markup and entity alignment
  • Author pages and expert bios
  • Internal link graph restructuring
  • Knowledge hub and FAQ optimization
  • Content pruning and canonical reviews
  • Indexation, Core Web Vitals, Bing Webmaster, and Google Search Console fixes
  • AI-readable page layouts and semantic HTML markup

Phase 3 - Authority Expansion

We create expert-level content assets specifically designed to fill identified topical authority gaps.

  • Expert articles and cornerstone pillar pages
  • Original research reports and industry statistical benchmarks
  • Direct comparison pages and "Best-Of" resource hubs
  • Niche glossaries, definition hubs, and expert guides

Phase 4 - Entity Expansion

We expand off-page brand mentions across trusted authority-building websites.

  • Placements across trade publications and industry association websites
  • Citations on local organizations, university resources, and government references
  • Listings in top business directories, Wikidata, and Crunchbase
  • Podcast appearances and guest articles (Third Marble provides strategic content and execution guidance)

Phase 5 - Digital Assets

We publish linkable, authoritative content assets designed to earn organic press and natural third-party citations.

  • Industry research reports and surveys
  • Interactive tools, calculators, and original datasets
  • Whitepapers, strategic press releases (when newsworthy), and thought leadership pieces

Phase 6 - Custom Backlink Acquisition

We refocus backlink acquisition away from basic directory links to focus on quality, context, and high-domain trust.

  • Securing high-impact link placements on industry magazines, trade associations, higher education (.edu) portals, partner networks, manufacturers, government (.gov) resources, and news publications.

Phase 7 - AI Prompt Optimization

We engineer content tailored specifically to address the exact conversational queries processed by AI engines.

  • Direct answers for pricing queries (How much does..., Pricing guides), comparisons (Alternatives..., Pros and cons), and buying decisions (Top companies in..., Checklists).

Comparing the Mid-Level vs. Top-Level Package

  • Best For: National or multi-location companies in moderate-competition markets, or lower-competition industries seeking measurable AI growth.

  • Executive Dashboard: A unified overview combining traditional Premier SEO performance with conversational AI share-of-voice growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AI SEO (GEO) differ from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on optimizing web pages to rank for specific keywords in search engine results pages. AI SEO (or Generative Engine Optimization) structures your entire brand presence (both on and off your website) so AI platforms understand your business as a verified entity and synthesize your brand directly into conversational answers.

Does this replace our standard SEO package?

No, it builds on top of it. Both AI Authority plans include all non-content writing services from our Premier SEO Plan. Strengthening entity markup, technical site architecture, and topical depth improves your standard Google rankings while securing your visibility in AI search assistants.

How do you track visibility inside AI assistants like ChatGPT?

We run standardized prompt testing using common buyer intent queries. Our AI Visibility Index tracks how frequently your brand is recommended, your placement within synthesized lists, the sentiment of the response, and overall accuracy compared to your top competitors.
