Hire an AI SEO Consultant, Not an Account Manager

What you get

• An AI visibility baseline across Google AI features, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot for your category queries, with the surfaces that cannot be measured labelled as unmeasured rather than estimated.
• The citation-source map: which third-party domains AI systems actually quote in your category, and which of them you are absent from.
• An entity audit covering every place your brand is described inconsistently across your own site, directories, review sites and documentation, with the fixes in priority order.
• Your commercial pages restructured to be extractable, so a model lifts the claim instead of skipping the page.
• Measurement you keep: citation share tracked per query and per page, reported next to organic clicks, in something your team can run after I am gone.

Who you are hiring

• Alston Antony. 15+ years in search, working since 2010.
• Senior Digital Marketing Manager at Brainstorm Force, leading marketing for ZipWP and Astra. Grew ZipWP organic clicks 74% from a zero baseline and took 28 keyword variations to #1.
• Thirteen owned web properties, run as the test bed for everything recommended here. The method is not theory borrowed from a conference talk.
• MSc Computer Software Engineering with Distinction, University of Greenwich. MBCS, Professional Member of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, since 2012. Ahrefs and Semrush certified.
• Based in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, working globally. English and Tamil.

Proof you can check before you pay me

One property I own, ZPlatform.ai, was cited 241,500 times by Microsoft Copilot in six months against 2,496 organic Bing clicks in twenty-four. The Bing AI Performance export is published on the page, with the window, the sampling caveat and the reason the ratio is a floor rather than a clean multiple. Four more owned properties are written up the same way, including the ones where the finding contradicted what I expected.

Read that case study, exports attached

When I am the wrong call

If nobody in your category asks an assistant yet, the baseline says so in the first week and I will tell you to spend the budget on the pages that convert instead. I do not produce content at volume, build links or audit page speed: retrieval, citation and measurement only. If what you need is writers, developers and a project layer, that is an agency job and I will say so rather than bill for it. And nobody can guarantee a ChatGPT recommendation, including me. What I can do is fix the conditions that correlate with citation and measure what is measurable.
