A month ago we were paying $6K/month to a high-profile agency for a couple bloated, out of touch blog posts.
We ranked 50–200 for all our keywords.
Site was stuck at ~120 organic visits/day.
We were nowhere near the top.
tl;dr, we fired them.
Took over SEO ourselves.
Optimized our site for LLMs, not bloggers.
Today:
#1 in AI Overview for "research agents", #3 overall for our top keyword
Top 30 for every other target
Over 340+ organic visits/day
IN LESS THAN A MONTH.
SEO isn’t dead, it just shifted.
You're not optimizing for humans anymore.
You're optimizing for AI.
Stop paying for recycled junk and please fire your SEO agency.
Learn how the new wave of AI SEO (AEO/GEO)...
or get buried by it.
