Can you guarantee that AI tools will cite our firm?

No one can honestly guarantee how AI assistants answer. What we do is make your expertise clear, attributable and verified across the sources those systems rely on, which raises the likelihood your firm and leaders are understood and surfaced.

Do we need an internal marketing team?

No. ALTA leads the diagnosis, strategy and architecture, and works with your leaders and whoever supports marketing today. The goal is a rhythm your team can keep running, not a permanent dependency.

What is AI visibility (AEO)?

AI visibility, sometimes called answer engine optimization, is how clearly tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot can understand your firm, connect it to the right topics and recommend it when buyers ask questions.

Who is this advisory for?

Owner-led professional services and technology firms, typically between $2M and $50M, where expertise drives the sale and the capability is real but the visibility has not caught up.

Authority & AI Visibility Advisory

Your expertise should be easier to find. And easier to trust.

ALTA helps owner-led professional services and technology firms turn the expertise they already have into a visible, verifiable authority system, so buyers, search engines and AI assistants can understand, trust and surface the firm before a sales conversation begins.

The visibility gap

The expertise is real. The market cannot always see it.

Many strong firms still rely on referrals, outreach, paid campaigns and legacy SEO to create demand. But buyers, and the AI tools they ask, are building their shortlist before the first conversation.

Positioning is broad

Your site explains what you do, but not why your perspective is meaningfully different.

Expertise stays internal

Your leaders know the answers, but their experience is not captured, attributed or structured.

Proof is fragmented

Results, credentials, methods and partnerships exist, but buyers cannot verify them easily.

Presence is incomplete

Your firm is absent from the communities, sources and conversations that shape consideration.

This is not only a content problem. It is an authority system problem.

The ALTA authority system

Four dimensions. One outcome: trust.

We use E-E-A-T as a strategic diagnostic, not a mechanical score, to find where authority exists, where it breaks down and what your firm should strengthen first.

E01

Experience

Can you show that you have done the work?

Client results, real examples, lessons learned, methods and first-hand insight.

E02

Expertise

Is your knowledge clear and attributable?

Expert positioning, credentials, original thinking, research and useful answers.

A03

Authoritativeness

Do credible sources recognize your firm?

Associations, partnerships, citations, speaking, reviews and earned contributions.

T04

Trustworthiness

Can people and platforms verify your claims?

Clear authorship, accurate sourcing, consistent profiles, proof and transparency.

A consulting engagement

Strategy first. Channels second.

We do not begin with a keyword list, posting calendar or traffic target. We begin with the business: what authority your firm can credibly own, what evidence supports it and where buyers form trust.

What ALTA leads

Position: The category, audience and ideas your firm can own.
Proof: The experience, IP and evidence behind every claim.
Presence: The owned, expert, community and third-party surfaces that matter.
Enablement: The governance, capability and rhythm that let authority compound.

What clients say

Leaders who became visible experts in their space.

“ALTA helped us turn what our partners knew into a clear point of view. Our leaders are now visible on the channels our clients actually use.”

Managing Partner

Professional services firm

“For the first time, our profiles, our company story and our objectives all say the same thing, and the right prospects are finding us.”

Founder & CEO

Technology consultancy

“This was not an SEO project. It was a strategy for how we want to be known, and the visibility followed.”

Who this is for

A strong fit when the capability is real, but the visibility has not caught up.

You lead a professional services or technology firm where expertise shapes the sale.
Your firm relies heavily on referrals, founder relationships, outreach or paid activity.
Your website describes services, but does not fully demonstrate your authority.
Your experts have valuable knowledge but limited public visibility.
You want a coordinated system, not isolated SEO, content or social tactics.

Start with clarity

Is your authority visible where buyers are looking?

Begin with a focused conversation about where your expertise appears today, where the gaps are and what to address first.

Discuss your visibility gaps

Questions, answered

What leaders usually ask.

No. SEO is one part of discoverability, but this engagement starts with business strategy, market position, expertise and proof. Technical SEO recommendations support the authority system; they do not define it. ALTA is not an SEO agency: we use what we know about search and AI discovery inside a proven consulting framework. The goal is not traffic. It is making your firm and its experts the recognized authority in your space, visible to the right audience on every channel, including AI assistants.
