Jeffrey Smith Marketing: Proactive AI SEO for Answer Engine Visibility

Flexible Month-to-Month AI SEO Packages to Boost Visibility

I help you be the business AI suggests when people ask who to hire.

AI search is already changing how people find companies.
Instead of clicking through websites, people ask AI tools who to call, who to trust, and who to hire — and they go with the names that get recommended.

If your business isn’t showing up inside AI answers yet, you’re invisible in a growing part of the search ecosystem.

Most businesses haven’t realized this yet.
Most agencies aren’t doing anything meaningful about it.
And the few that are offering “AI optimization” usually stick to surface-level, on-page tweaks and hope AI systems eventually take notice.

That usually means things like:

  • Adding or tweaking schema markup
  • Updating page content with more keywords or FAQs
  • Creating long-form informational pages
  • Adjusting headings and formatting
  • Adding an llms.txt file
  • Cleaning up internal links
  • Publishing a few blog posts and waiting

None of that is harmful. Some of it is useful.
But on its own, it’s not very powerful.

It’s passive.

Those tactics rely on AI systems eventually discovering your site, interpreting it correctly, and deciding to surface it. That can take a long time — and there’s no guarantee it happens at all.

AI models don’t rely only on what’s on your website. They learn from signals across the web — references, mentions, structured context, and the broader network of content connected to your brand.

If all you’re doing is tweaking on-page elements and hoping to be noticed, you’re leaving a lot to chance.

My approach is proactive.

I build proactive off-page signals designed to make AI models recognize your business, understand what you do, and surface you as a recommended option when people ask for services in your space.

This is my AI SEO service.


What AI Search Optimization Actually Means

When someone asks an AI tool:

  • “Who’s the best contractor near me?”
  • “What’s a good marketing agency?”
  • “Who should I hire for this?”
  • “What company does this service?”
  • “What is the best Italian restaurant near me?”

The AI generates an answer.
Sometimes it lists businesses.
Sometimes it references brands.
Sometimes it summarizes options and includes recommendations.

Those mentions matter.

If your business becomes one of the entities AI systems consistently recognize and reference, you gain visibility in a channel most competitors aren’t even thinking about yet.

That’s where this service comes in.


The Problem: Most AI Optimization Is Passive

Right now, most “AI search optimization” services are reactive.

As touched on above, they typically only involve:

  • Updating on-page content
  • Adding structured data
  • Cleaning up site formatting
  • Making small technical adjustments
  • Adding files or markup
  • Hoping AI systems notice

There’s nothing wrong with those steps.
They’re just not enough on their own.

If you only optimize your own site and wait, you’re relying on chance.

My approach is proactive.


My Approach: Proactive AI Visibility Engineering

Instead of waiting for AI systems to discover your business, I build a network of LLM-friendly signals designed to:

  • Reinforce your brand as an entity
  • Clarify what you do and where you operate
  • Increase references to your business across the web
  • Strengthen recognition in AI training sources
  • Improve the likelihood your business appears in AI answers
  • Position your brand as a recommended option

This is primarily off-page work.

I create structured, AI-readable assets and signals that help models recognize your business as a legitimate authority in your category. Over time, this increases the chances that AI systems mention or recommend your business when users ask relevant questions.

This isn’t guesswork or generic SEO.
It’s visibility engineering for AI-driven search environments.


Who This Service Is For

AI SEO works best for:

  • Local businesses
  • Service businesses
  • National brands
  • Personal brands
  • High-ticket professionals
  • Agencies
  • Companies in competitive markets

If your business depends on being discovered, recommended, or trusted — this matters.

If you want to be ahead of the curve as AI search expands — this matters even more.

This is the final piece to the marketing puzzle. Most businesses focus on GBP SEO and website SEO only. They’re certainly core pillars of an overall online-presence plan, but the growing AI piece is now just as crucial. And the business who don’t adopt now will be left in the dust.


What I Actually Build

Every AI SEO campaign includes a structured set of off-site assets and signals designed to strengthen AI recognition and visibility.

These can include:

  • AI-readable brand assets
  • Structured entity signals
  • Off-site authority content
  • LLM-friendly references
  • Contextual content connections
  • Visibility reinforcement across platforms
  • Entity association signals
  • Ongoing signal expansion and refinement

My proprietary system includes several layers. The pillar layer includes the creation and deployment of LLM-friendly, highly-ingestible, easily crawled mini-hubs of relevant content on high DR web properties using structured data, schema markups, JSON-DL files, and listicle formats.

Another main avenue I take is to use my proprietary engineering methods to detect what the LLM translation of common search queries for your main keywords are. I then take those longtail “AI language” search terms and easily rank high DR properties that reference your business as the highest ranking option.

I also accelerate the backlinking and indexing speed of these properties for quick listings inside traditional search engines.

There are several other supporting layers of this deployment, including some of the strategies I use for ranking websites in traditional search engines.

This whole system compounds exponentially, often getting real results showing up in AI answers and recommendations in under a week!

And a wonderful byproduct of this system is that your website gets a solid boost in traditional search engines.

I also review your existing web presence and make targeted recommendations where helpful, but the core of this service is off-page signal building.

That’s what makes it different.

I dare you to find anyone else online who even understands how to deploy these systems, let alone is offering it as a service.


This Is Still Early — And That’s the Advantage

Very few agencies are actively offering serious AI search optimization right now.

Of those that do, most are still focused on passive tactics.

This is one of those rare windows where being early gives you a meaningful advantage.

As AI search becomes more mainstream, competition for visibility inside AI answers will increase. Businesses that establish strong recognition signals early will be better positioned.

This service is designed for businesses that want to get ahead of that curve.


AI SEO Plans

All plans are month-to-month and scale based on how aggressively you want to build visibility and authority. Monthly reports with a list of deliverables and rank tracking are sent by email.

🟢 AI SEO LITE — $1,497/month

Best for smaller businesses or those wanting to begin building AI visibility.

Includes:

  • Core AI visibility signal setup
  • Foundational entity reinforcement
  • Initial off-site signal creation
  • AI-friendly brand asset deployment
  • Monthly expansion of visibility signals
  • Ongoing refinement and adjustments

🔵 AI SEO PRO — $2,697/month

🔴 AI SEO AUTHORITY — $4,997/month

This is the nuclear option. This is bringing a bazooka to a pillow fight. This is best for high-ticket professionals in competitive markets and metros, and enterprise brands that want maximum positioning.

Like everything else I do, this is a month to month agreement. No lengthy contracts or obligations. Just a simple agreement in plain English. You’re free to end it any time.

I’ll continue building the infrastructure and authority every month until you tell me to stop. (Everything I do stays in place online if and when you do cancel the service, by the way.) This isn’t a subscription model where if you decide to end it, everything gets deleted and you’re back to zero. That would be ridiculous.

Below is a list of the monthly deliverables. I understand that a lot of these can seem a bit vague… (I try not to give away too much of my proprietary process.)

The gist of it is that I do around 2X more than the PRO plan and I also add some powerful integrations to the stack: Some from my Website SEO methods and GBP ranking automations as well as additional assets such as press releases, a higher degree of indexing and backlinking and more…

One great byproduct of this tier of the service is that your website and Google Business Profile get a massive boost in search engine visibility!

This truly is the nuclear option. Measurable results are often seen in less than a week.

  • Core AI visibility signal setup
  • Foundational entity reinforcement
  • Initial off-site signal creation
  • AI-friendly brand asset deployment

Capacity Limit

I can only take on 10 AI SEO clients at a time.

This work requires careful planning, intense integration, ongoing monitoring, and structured implementation.
Keeping the client roster small ensures every campaign gets proper attention.

If I’m at capacity, new clients are added to a waitlist. (If you can click through to the purchase page and complete the purchase, that means I do have at least one slot open, and you’re in!)

I prefer to work alone. I do not want to scale this service and outsource anything. I want to personally complete everything to ensure it’s done right. I do not want employees. I do not want to manage anyone. Been there, done that…no thanks!

I simply want to make a good living while personally interfacing with my clients. I want to remain able to provide personal, high-quality customer service while delivering way more value to businesses than what I charge. And that’s another thing that sets me apart!

I guess I’m just old-school like that…


Important Notes

I do not make any guarantees with any form of my SEO work, including AI search visibility.

I suppose the only guarantee I do make is that I will do the work we agree upon, I will work in good faith and be readily available when you reach out. Results can vary widely though, depending on countless factors and variables.

But rest assured, mine is one of the very few services that proactively builds the types of signals AI systems rely upon to recognize and recommend businesses.

There’s only a very small group of marketers and software developers doing anything even similar to this.

By simply finding this page you are tapping in to an extremely rare, cutting edge marketing method. Almost no one has access to the knowledge and technology required to complete these tasks…let alone offer it as a service. And I add my own twist and personalized deployment stack using my 25+ years of internet marketing and SEO connections, skills and experience.

Most agencies aren’t even offering AI SEO, let alone highly-optimized, proactive SEO.

If you want to build real visibility in AI-driven search environments, this is literally the most effective way to do it right now. But if your Google Business Profile is severely lacking, you would definitely want to get that up to speed as well. All of your main online business properties are interconnected.

Improving SEO on one often helps the other. So if your Google Business needs optimized or managed, then I would recommend those crucial pieces to your marketing puzzle as well. I also offer a comprehensive Google Business Profile audit, which is the right place to start for improving your GBP presence.
