Boundaries
What we do not do.
Stated up front, because the fastest way to waste your money is to buy the wrong thing.
No volume content
A thin page gives a model nothing to lift, and a large body of unquotable content is work that is not doing any.
No prompt injection tricks
We do not use hidden text, instruction-shaped copy or manufactured reviews. They are detectable, and the downside when they are caught lands on your brand, not ours.
No unreviewed claims
Nothing about SPF, concentration, weight limits or age ranges ships without your compliance sign-off. An engine repeating a wrong number of ours becomes your problem.

We're an international brand with US customers and no English marketer. Who runs our AI search visibility?
At SearchD, we run US AI search visibility work for international brands that do not have an English marketer. We measure the question panel you agreed in week one across five engines and prepare English page and source corrections. You approve the claims; our method defines the work rather than a general English marketing role. If you only need a score, choose a monitoring tool; the alternatives page explains the routes.
Who does AI search work for an international brand with a fixed monthly budget?
At SearchD, we do US-market AEO for international brands working to a fixed monthly budget. We do not publish a dollar rate or confirm budget fit from this page. Our method describes the buyer-panel measurement and page and source corrections to discuss when scoping a retainer. Whether AEO is worth it at a small brand’s scale is the question to settle before the budget one.
Before you commit
Why a retainer instead of paying per result?
Search and AI visibility build up month by month and decay if abandoned, so we carry the risk instead of you. Cancellable at 30 days, no minimum term, and for qualified brands a written guarantee: if your US organic traffic does not grow 30% in the first 90 days, adjusted for season, you pay no management fee until it does. The full terms are on the guarantee page and go into the engagement agreement.
Does this replace our SEO agency?
No, and you should not let it. Rankings have not stopped driving discovery, and the two share technical foundations. We coordinate rather than compete — the panel data tells your SEO vendor which of their pages models actually read.
How much content do I have to review?
Two to four pieces a month, none of it shipped without your approval. Regulated claims need sign-off from your compliance owner — we will not publish a specification you have not confirmed.
What does the monthly reporting actually look like?
One page. Named rate by engine, this month against last, with deltas inside the noise floor marked as noise. Then quotes, who was named instead, factual errors, what we shipped, and assistant referral traffic. Built to be forwarded without editing.
What if a model update moves the number instead of your work?
It will, both directions, and nobody can fully separate the two. We record the model version on every run, re-run within a week of a major release, and report against a noise floor. Where a jump is plainly a model update, the report says so — an agency claiming every rise as its own is telling you it is not measuring carefully.
How is this different from an AI visibility tracking tool?
A tool tells you the score. It will not correct your specification on Amazon.co.jp, argue a distributor into re-uploading it, or tell you which of the five causes is yours. If you have a team to act on a score, buy the tool. Buy us to move the number, not report it.
Do you work with our existing agencies?
Yes, and we would expect to. Ask each of them whether they measure which sources engines read in your category; if one does, that is useful to know. We hand them the panel data either way. It is your data.
