Everything you need to know about AEO, Agentic AI lead generation, Google AI Mode optimization, and how Integrated.Social works with B2B brands.

What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures content so AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity cite your brand when answering buyer questions. Traditional SEO targets ranked links; AEO targets the answer itself. As AI Overviews replace position-one results, AEO has become the most commercially important visibility discipline for B2B brands. The two disciplines are complementary: strong SEO authority accelerates AEO citation.

How do I get my brand cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity?

AI tools cite sources that are authoritative, structured, and semantically clear. The key steps are: build topical depth across your subject matter, implement FAQPage and entity schema, write answer-first content, strengthen your brand's citation footprint on trusted third-party sources, and get listed in publications AI systems already trust. Integrated.Social's AEO/GEO service covers all five steps as a managed program.

What is Google AI Mode and how do I optimize for it?

Google AI Mode generates synthesised answers instead of ranked links. Optimizing for it requires answer-first content architecture, comprehensive schema markup, strong E-E-A-T signals, and topical authority across your core subject matter. Brands that rank well in traditional search do not automatically appear in AI Mode - the signals are different. Integrated.Social's Google AI Mode Optimization service addresses this gap directly.

What is LLMO (LLM Mention Optimization)?

LLMO ensures your brand appears in AI model knowledge, not just real-time search. When someone asks ChatGPT about your market, your brand should be part of the answer even without a live web search. This requires building citations across high-authority publications and structured data sources that LLM training pipelines prioritize. LLMO is a long-term brand authority program, not a quick-fix tactic.

Do you work as a fractional CMO or as an agency?

Both models are available. For some clients, Modi works as an embedded fractional CMO attending leadership meetings and owning strategy. For others, a project or retainer model works better with defined scope and milestones. All delivery is senior-led - you work directly with Modi, not handed to a junior team. The right model depends on your team's existing capability and how much strategic ownership you want to retain.

What is a Gemini Enterprise Agentic AI environment for marketing?

A Gemini Enterprise Agentic AI environment is a multi-agent system that generates leads autonomously. Specialized agents collaborate: one researches your market, another creates persona-driven content, another runs A/B tested outreach. These agents work within governed guardrails and integrate with your CRM and marketing stack to build pipeline at scale. Integrated.Social has been building these systems since 2023.

How do you combine the art and science of marketing?

The art is brand positioning, persona psychology, and creative messaging - this requires human expertise and cannot be automated. The science is structured A/B testing, attribution modeling, and agentic execution. Every campaign starts with audience understanding and brand truth, then scales through systematic experimentation and AI-powered delivery. Neither half works without the other, which is why we do not offer AI tools without strategic context.

What does an AI-first B2B marketing agency do?

An AI-first B2B marketing agency combines Agentic AI environments, AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO/LLMO), Google Ads management, and persona-driven strategy into one growth system. The goal is to get your brand cited in AI answers while running profitable paid campaigns and deploying AI agents that automate GTM execution. Integrated.Social is one of the first UK agencies to offer all three disciplines as an integrated service.

How should we evaluate AEO and AI search progress?

AI visibility has no universal score: record the engine, prompt panel, observation date and visible evidence for each measurement. Citations, rankings and leads are observed, not guaranteed. Walker Sands' H1 2026 benchmark covered more than 45 million relevant Google keywords across 828 enterprise B2B companies in 14 technology sectors. It reported a 3.0% median citation-inclusion rate and 4.6% of companies receiving no citations; those observations are specific to that defined study and are not a transferable market-wide promise.

What makes Integrated.Social different from other B2B marketing agencies?

Six differences: we deploy live systems, not strategy decks; all delivery is senior-led by Modi; we have built enterprise AI agent systems since 2023; we are among the first UK agencies with a dedicated AEO/GEO/LLMO practice; every engagement is measured against pipeline and revenue; and we combine brand expertise with AI execution. Teams can begin with a paid AI Visibility Audit before deciding whether an implementation programme is appropriate.

How does your persona-driven approach to B2B marketing work?

We map your buying committee and craft distinct messaging for each role. The CFO sees ROI and risk reduction; the CMO sees brand growth; the practitioner sees efficiency. This precision is what separates leads that convert from leads that ghost, and it is what makes agentic AI outreach effective at scale. Persona mapping is the foundation of every engagement we take on.

What budget do you need to start?

The Free AI Visibility Score is £0. The paid £750 AI Visibility Audit is a one-time diagnostic. Foundation starts at £3,000 per month for up to 25 priority pages and Growth starts at £5,000 per month for up to 100 priority pages, each with a 90-day initial term. Compare all listed prices at https://integrated.social/pricing/.

Can I start with a paid AI Visibility Audit?

Yes. The £750 AI Visibility Audit is a paid, senior-led diagnostic, excluding VAT. It is separate from the Free AI Visibility Score. See the scope at https://integrated.social/pricing/.

How does the paid audit credit work?

Start Foundation or Growth after this audit and we credit what you paid against month 3. Months 1 and 2 are paid in full. Leave before month 3 and the credit is forfeited. See pricing at https://integrated.social/pricing/.
