Four phases. One outcome. AI recommends you.
The exact sequence our team executes to turn your business into an AI-verified authority.
Audit
Days 1 to 7
We test your business across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews using hundreds of real queries your customers ask. You see exactly who AI recommends, where you're absent, what AI says about you (often wrong), and which competitors own your space. We also audit your website's technical accessibility to AI crawlers, your structured data, and your directory presence across every platform AI checks.
This is not a surface scan. It's a complete inventory of every signal AI evaluates for your business, measured against your competitors.
Build
Days 8 to 60
This is where 90% of the work happens. Our team executes across all five signals AI platforms evaluate.
We implement structured data on your website so AI can precisely identify your business, services, team, and credentials. We audit and align your information across every directory, review platform, and business listing. We begin earning third-party mentions on the publications and resources AI trusts in your industry. We create content structured for AI extraction with answer capsules AI can cite. We activate your review strategy on the platforms that carry the most weight.
Nothing here is advice. It's execution. Our team does the work.
Appear
Days 60 to 120
The signals built in Phase 2 reach critical mass. AI platforms begin including your business in their recommendations. Your dashboard shows queries turning from red (competitor recommended) to green (you recommended). Perplexity starts citing your content. ChatGPT begins naming your business. Google AI Overviews feature your information.
The first recommendations are the hardest to earn. Each one after that comes easier because authority compounds.
Compound
Ongoing
Every month of optimization builds on the previous month. New citations reinforce your entity. Stronger entity leads to more recommendations. More recommendations generate more awareness. More awareness generates more reviews and mentions. The flywheel accelerates.
Clients who start in month 1 have a structural advantage by month 6 that a new competitor can't close in 3 months no matter how much they spend.
What the process looks like in real numbers.
These aren't projections. They're composite results from real client engagements across legal, healthcare, e-commerce, financial services, home services, and hospitality.
- ✕Zero AI recommendations. Competitors named for every relevant query.
- ✕No structured data; inconsistent directory listings.
- ✕AI crawlers blocked; no third-party citations.
- ✕Business invisible across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI.
- ✓34% to 58% recommendation rate for tracked queries.
- ✓Competitors overtaken or matched. Structured data live.
- ✓Directories aligned. Citations accumulating.
- ✓Revenue directly attributed to AI referrals.
"I asked Yazeo to show me exactly what they'd do before I signed. They walked me through the four phases, showed me what my audit would look like, and told me I'd see first recommendations in about 90 days. They hit that timeline almost exactly. Day 87 was the first time a new client told me ChatGPT recommended my firm. That was five months ago. I've had 9 AI-referred clients since. Combined revenue: over $120,000."

Dashboards show data. Agencies advise. Yazeo executes.
Yazeo is one of the first companies focused entirely on AI Recommendation Optimization (ARO).
Dashboard companies
Dashboard companies give you a monitoring tool and leave you to figure out the execution. Knowing you're invisible doesn't make you visible.
SEO agencies
SEO agencies adding "AI" apply traditional SEO tactics to a system that evaluates different signals. Google rankings don't equal AI recommendations. Different input, different output.
Yazeo
Yazeo executes the full process. Content, schema, reviews, directories, authority, monitoring. 120+ people across 6 countries. We don't tell you what to do. We do it.
Common questions.
Minimal. We may need website access for structured data implementation and your input on a few strategic decisions. Otherwise, our team handles everything.
Keep them. They handle Google. We handle AI. Different channel, different signals, complementary outcomes.
Your dashboard shows real-time data. Recommendation frequency, competitor comparisons, query coverage, accuracy tracking. You can verify independently by asking ChatGPT yourself.
Competitive industries take longer but the reward is larger. First movers in competitive categories build the strongest moats. The firms building AI positions now will be extremely difficult to displace.
