Your customers are asking AI about your competitors right now
While you perfect your Google rankings, 47% of consumers under 35 are turning to ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for product recommendations. When they ask "What's the best organic pasta sauce?" or "Which protein bar won't melt in my car?"—your brand either shows up in the answer, or it doesn't exist.
The shift happened faster than anyone predicted
Remember when everyone said mobile would eventually matter? This is bigger. And it's happening now.
Your Buyers Have Moved
ChatGPT hit 100 million users faster than any product in history.
- ✓Your customers aren't just searching—they're having conversations with AI about your category
- ✓Every day you're not part of that conversation is market share walking away
- ✓47% of consumers under 35 now use AI for product recommendations
Your Competitors Are Already There
Smart brands started optimizing for answer engines six months ago.
- ✓They're earning citations in trusted sources
- ✓Answering the specific questions buyers ask
- ✓Showing up consistently when it matters
- ✓The gap widens every week
This isn't just about traffic. It's about survival.
When someone asks ChatGPT "What's the best keto-friendly snack for my daughter's school lunch?"—one brand gets recommended. The others might as well not exist.
The brutal math: 6x higher conversion rates from AI-driven traffic versus traditional search. When AI recommends your product, the sale is nearly made. When it doesn't, you're fighting an uphill battle against a pre-made decision.
Your brand has two choices: Be the answer, or watch competitors become the answer.
You don't have to figure this out alone
At 6 Seeds, we've been tracking this shift since ChatGPT launched. We've tested what works, measured what doesn't, and built the playbook that turns questions into customers.
Our 3R Wayfinder Method™
At 6 Seeds, we've developed a systematic approach that turns questions into customers. Our proven methodology ensures your brand shows up consistently when buyers ask the questions that matter.
Reveal the questions your buyers are really asking
We don't guess. We mine your sales calls, support tickets, Reddit discussions, and search data to map the complete "question universe" for your category. From "Does this protein powder dissolve in cold brew?" to "Which hot sauce won't trigger my IBS?"—we find where demand actually lives.
Reimagine your content as answers, not ads
Your expertise becomes findable. We transform your product knowledge into the specific, useful answers that AI engines cite and customers trust. No fluff. No generic content. Just the information that closes sales.
Realize consistent visibility where decisions get made
Through strategic PR in trusted trade publications, authentic community engagement, and content that actually helps—we ensure your brand shows up when buyers ask the questions that matter. Measurably. Consistently. Profitably.
The brands that moved first are already winning

The data doesn't lie: Webflow saw 6x higher conversion rates from LLM traffic versus Google search. When AI recommends your brand, people buy. When it doesn't, they buy from whoever it does recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from SEO?
SEO gets you found in search results. AEO gets you recommended as the answer. When ChatGPT suggests your protein bar for runners, the customer isn't comparison shopping—they're buying based on AI recommendation. Higher intent, higher conversion, less competition.
How quickly will we see results?
Unlike traditional SEO, answer engines can cite new content immediately. We typically see initial improvements in 30-45 days, with significant gains by 90 days. Results compound as authority builds across platforms.
What if our competitors catch on?
They will. That's why moving now matters. Brands that establish answer engine authority first maintain it longest. Waiting means fighting uphill against established players. Early movers set the rules everyone else follows.
Is this worth the investment?
Consider the alternative: watching competitors become the default recommendation in your category while you optimize for search results fewer people use every month. We're seeing 6x higher conversion from AI-driven traffic and market share protection in the AI-first future.
Be the answer your customers find
Your customers are asking AI about your category right now. Your competitors are already working to be that answer. The brands that thrive in the next decade won't be the ones with the biggest ad budgets or the flashiest websites. They'll be the ones customers discover when they ask the questions that matter.
