AEO vs SEO: What Actually Changes When Buyers Ask AI
The fundamentals overlap, but the signals that win an AI answer aren't the same ones that win a ranking.
Questions
The honest answers.
No, and they aren't rivals either. Ranking on Google and being named in an AI answer draw on overlapping signals weighted differently, so we run them as one program with two scoreboards. AI visibility leads, because that is the half nobody measures. A one-time SEO fix sprint is built into Foundations, and ongoing search fundamentals are included from Growth up, handled by our SEO and ads lead. You can rank #1 on Google and still be invisible in AI answers, which is the gap we exist to close.
No one honestly can. What we guarantee is the work and the measurement: you'll always see your 0–100 visibility score, who's named instead of you, and exactly what moved each month.
Yes, and you can check rather than take our word for it: this site runs the same playbook we sell. Structured data on every page, an llms.txt file for AI crawlers at https://www.sightlinegrowth.co/llms.txt, content written to be quoted, and monthly measurement on Scope, the visibility software we built. The free Visibility Check here is the lighter, public version of that measurement; run our domain through it and see what comes back.
About an hour to get started: a kickoff call and access handoffs. After that, the standing commitment is one monthly review call, and anything that touches your website gets your sign-off before it changes. The rest of the work is ours to do; that's what done-for-you means.
Real numbers are on the pricing page: monthly programs start at $1,950, the one-time AI Visibility Audit is $1,000, and Full-Funnel starts at $7,500 a month with a custom scope. Those are starting points, not quotes; the exact mix gets set with you on a call. We publish prices because guessing games waste your time and ours.
That ranking is worth defending, and it may keep carrying you for a while. But rankings and AI answers are built differently: an assistant weighs structured data and third-party mentions, then names a few businesses without showing a results page at all. You can be #1 on Google and absent from the answer. The free check tells you in about a minute whether that's happening to you.
Ask an AI assistant the question your customers would ask, worded the way they'd word it, and see who gets named. That's the whole test, and the free check runs it for you. We won't wave adoption statistics at you; the honest evidence is what the assistants already say about your market today.
Owner-operated service businesses are the center of our work: local and regional companies where a recommendation becomes a booked job. Programs scale up if you have a leadership team and multiple markets, and if you're earlier than that, the free check and the $1,000 audit are the right-sized first steps.
Both, by design. The same buyers split between AI answers and paid clicks. Covering one and ignoring the other leaks demand. Meta and LinkedIn ads, and a full website build, are available on the Full-Funnel tier.
You do, always. Ad accounts, tracking, content, and data stay in your name, and so do the domain, hosting, and code of any site we build. If we ever part ways, nothing leaves with us.
Yes. We scope who owns what before any work starts, so nothing is duplicated: we can run the AI search side while your team keeps ads, or the reverse. Everything we build lives in your accounts either way.
Rarely on Foundations and Growth, and never as a surprise. Most of that work is additive: structured data, content, profiles, and measurement layered onto what you already have. If something genuinely blocks AI visibility, you see the evidence and the options before anything changes. A full rebuild is a Full-Funnel module, and only when you choose it.
Run the free Visibility Check, or book a demo where we ask AI about your business live. The one-time AI Visibility Audit is the natural first step before a retainer, and it credits into one.
Reviews
What people say on Google.
Pulled from our Google Business Profile (rated 5.0 across 3 reviews). Google chooses which reviews its API returns and how they are ordered; we show them as they come, positive or not. We ask every client for an honest review at the same point in our process, and we never reward, gate, or filter one.
I’ve been working with Sightline Growth for a few months now, and honestly, one of the biggest things that made me want to work with them was the AI side of marketing. As a medical spa owner, I’m used to hearing about Google, Instagram, Facebook, and all the traditional ways people find businesses, but I hadn’t really thought about how people were starting to use AI to find local businesses. I actually started testing it myself and asking questions like who is the best medical spa near me, where should I go for Botox in Fort Lauderdale, or what med spa offers the best skin treatments in the area. I was pretty surprised when my business wasn’t really showing up. We already had a good client base and stayed busy, so it wasn’t like we were struggling to get customers. But when I looked at how someone who had never heard of us would actually find us online, there was definitely a gap. That’s where Sightline Growth has really impressed me. They’ve worked on our AI visibility, our website, and our Google presence, and I’ve noticed a difference when I go back and test those same searches. We’re getting mentioned more often, and I feel like we’re finally showing up in places where potential clients are actually looking. They’ve also helped improve our Google Business Profile and overall online presence. For a medical spa, reputation and visibility are huge because people want to feel comfortable with a business before they book an appointment. Sightline Growth helped make sure our information was clear, our services were easier to find, and our online presence actually reflected the quality of the experience we provide in our spa. They also started managing our Google Ads, and that’s another area where I’ve been happy with the results. We started seeing more calls, inquiries, and new opportunities coming through. What I appreciate is that they don’t just throw numbers at me and call it a success. I’m much more interested in whether we’re getting actual people interested in Botox, injectables, skin treatments, and other services than whether our impressions went up. The other thing I really like is that they understand that marketing for a medical spa is different from marketing for a lot of other businesses. It’s not just about getting someone to click an ad. People are trusting you with their appearance, so having a strong reputation, good information, and a professional online presence really matters. I also think they’re ahead of the curve with AI. Google is obviously still extremely important, but more people are starting to ask ChatGPT and other AI tools for recommendations, and I want Lumière Vie to be part of those conversations. I’d rather start building that visibility now than wait until every other medical spa in Fort Lauderdale is trying to do the same thing. We’ve only been working with Sightline Growth for a few months, but I’ve been really happy with what I’ve seen so far. If you own a medical spa and feel like you’re doing everything right in person but aren’t getting the visibility you deserve online, I would definitely recommend talking to Sightline Growth. They’ve helped us get in front of more potential clients through Google, AI, our website, and paid advertising, and I feel like we’re finally building a much stronger online presence.
Jordan Chase · in the last weekI’m usually pretty skeptical when it comes to marketing companies because a lot of them will tell you everything you want to hear and then send you a report at the end of the month. Sightline Growth has been different. What really got me interested was the AI side of things. I had started messing around with ChatGPT and searching things a homeowner might actually type in, like who should I call if my AC stops working or who’s a good HVAC company near me. I was surprised that my company wasn’t really coming up at all. We’ve been in business, we already had customers, and we stayed pretty busy, so it wasn’t like nobody knew who we were. But online, especially with AI, we were basically missing from the conversation. Since working with Sightline Growth, I’ve gone back and tried those same searches and I’m seeing a big difference. We’re actually getting mentioned now, and I’ve had more people finding us online than before. They’ve also done a lot with our Google presence and the website. We were already getting a decent amount of work, but they helped tighten everything up and make it easier for people to find us when they actually need heating or AC work. They also started running our Google Ads, and I noticed that pretty quickly. Within the first month we were getting more calls and more opportunities coming through. That’s the stuff I care about. I don’t really care if somebody tells me impressions are up 40% if the phone isn’t ringing. I want to know if it’s actually bringing in work. We’re getting more opportunities, production has picked up, and I feel like we’re finally getting in front of people who probably would’ve never found us before. I also like that they’re not just focused on what worked five years ago. Google still matters a ton, but AI is clearly becoming another way people are looking for local companies, and I’d rather get ahead of that now than figure it out two years from now. We’ve only been working together for a few months, but I’m happy with what I’ve seen so far. If you own a service business and you know you do good work but feel like you should be getting found more online, I’d definitely recommend giving Sightline Growth a call.
Home Comfort Heating and Air · a week agoI’ve been working with Sightline Growth for a few months now, and one of the biggest reasons I reached out to them in the first place was because of AI. I remember actually trying to look my own business up through AI and asking the same kind of questions a customer would ask, like who should I call if I have roof damage or who is a good roofing company in my area. My business just wasn’t coming up. That was a pretty big eye-opener for me because I know more and more people are starting to search that way instead of only going straight to Google. That’s really what made me want to work with Sightline Growth. Since then, I’ve started seeing my business become a lot more visible when I test those same types of searches. That has probably been the most interesting part for me because it’s something I honestly wasn’t paying much attention to before. Now when someone asks AI who they should call for roofing work, I actually have a much better chance of being one of the businesses they see. They’ve also helped a lot with my website and Google presence at the same time. My business already had a steady flow of work before I started with them, so I wasn’t looking for some miracle fix. I just knew there was more business out there that I wasn’t getting because people weren’t finding me. They worked on making the website easier to find on Google and also started running my Google Ads. I noticed a difference from the ads within the first month, and since working with them I’ve seen more leads, more clients, and better overall production. What I like most is that the AI side, the website, Google, and the ads all work together. It doesn’t feel like they’re just doing one random thing and hoping it works. I’m getting seen in more places, and that has turned into actual business. We’ve only been working together for a few months, but I’ve already seen enough to know it has been worth it. I really can’t recommend Sightline Growth enough, especially for business owners who are starting to realize that being found on Google is important, but being found through AI is becoming just as important.
