An AEO/GEO agency for staff augmentation firms. We pick the hiring prompts a VP of Engineering types, like "best staff augmentation company for senior React developers", and work your firm into the shortlist ChatGPT gives. Most prompts take a month.
We pick what engineering managers type when a seat is open: stack and role prompts, vetting questions, comparisons with recruiters and marketplaces. Candidate and student searches don't make it.
Each prompt goes to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews. We record who's named and which roundups, comparison sites and reviews fed the answer, and those pages set the placement plan.
We earn placements on those pages and publish vetting and comparison pages on your site. A hiring prompt tends to take a month, with stacks or regions handled side by side.
Each month we check which shortlists include you, guard the prompts you've won and add the next stack or region you staff.
We target what a hiring manager types with an open seat, like "staff aug vs Toptal for a backend hire". Candidate searches and "what is staff augmentation" bring the wrong people, so they never make the list.
Intelvision, a staff augmentation company, ran on referrals when we started. Our AI search work got ChatGPT sending them 2 to 4 SQLs each month. Most hiring prompts flip within a month, several run at once, and 80% of targeted keywords end in a recommendation.
Buyers have been burned by resume inflation and slow replacements, and engines repeat what other sites say. So we put your vetting and replacement record into the roundups and reviews they read.
Hiring managers don't click the source links under an answer, so citation counts aren't something we sell. The report shows which engines name your firm for each hiring prompt, and the placements that follow.
Strategy first, channels second, sales feedback always. We measure by the qualified demand and revenue we can trace back inside the CRM.

It puts your firm into the answer when an engineering manager asks an assistant who to call for a hire. We agree on those prompts, look at which firms each engine names and which pages it trusts, then earn you a spot on those pages and add vetting proof to your site. Results get tracked to placements.
The ones a hiring manager runs mid-decision: "best staff augmentation companies for [stack]", "nearshore augmentation for a US fintech team" and "how to vet an augmented engineer fast". Comparison prompts that pit you against recruiters and marketplaces carry the most weight, because that's the real choice. How-to searches mostly bring candidates, so we leave them out.
Most hiring prompts move within a month, with stacks or regions running in parallel. Eight in ten keywords we target end in a recommendation. Each prompt's status is reported monthly, so you'll see which ones start bringing calls.
A citation means an engine listed your page among its sources. Hiring managers almost never click those links, so they don't fill seats, even if they're easy to count. Our report covers the shortlist itself: are you in it for each hiring prompt, engine by engine, and which conversations and placements followed?
They will if outside pages only carry generic claims. We get concrete detail onto the sites engines read: reviews that mention vetting, roundups that describe your replacement terms, and an on-site page listing your leveling and time to first qualified candidate.
Ours: a senior marketer in the lead, with an in-house team for PR, AI search and writing. Yours: a talent lead who checks vetting and leveling details, and sales flagging which AI-sourced leads had a real seat open.
