ANTE

ANTE isn't for most companies.

We help B2B SaaS companies get cited in AI search. That takes a specific kind of company, with a specific kind of leadership, ready to make a specific kind of investment. If that's you, keep reading. If it's not, we'll save us both the call.

Who ANTE is and isn't for.

1

Not a fit

Treat agencies like vendors.

An agency, to you, is a service to procure. You want SLAs, a scope sheet, and someone to escalate to when results aren't there. You'll be happier with a 50-person shop that can swap an account manager onto your account next quarter.

ANTE clients

Treat agencies like teammates.

You want a person, not an account manager. You want someone who'll push back when you're wrong, ship faster when you're right, and treat your win and our win like the same thing.

2

Not a fit

Need a case study before you'll greenlight anything.

AI search is moving faster than the consulting decks are catching up to it. If every decision needs a peer-reviewed framework from 2022, we'll spend the retainer waiting for permission instead of shipping.

ANTE clients

Comfortable being early.

You know the agencies pitching AEO from a conference stage are six months behind the work that's actually moving citations. You'd rather be the case study someone else writes in 2027.

3

Not a fit

Believe a great product sells itself.

Leadership treats marketing as the thing you do after you're already winning. AEO is the first marketing channel where that posture costs real revenue. Customers won't find you in an LLM by accident.

ANTE clients

Treat AI search as a growth lever, not a brand exercise.

Your team can tell you what a citation in ChatGPT is worth in pipeline. AEO isn't a side project. It's how you build a moat while your competitors are still arguing about whether to take it seriously.

4

Not a fit

Want to test it with $1,500 a month.

You'd like to pilot something small, see if it sticks, then maybe expand. AEO isn't a pilot. It's compounding work. Six months of half-effort produces six months of half-results.

ANTE clients

Ready to spend at the level the work demands.

You've done the math. You know what one enterprise deal is worth, and you know what showing up in five AI engines for your buyer's top ten queries is worth at the top of that funnel.

5

Not a fit

AEO is on the roadmap somewhere.

Your team has 'look into AEO' as a Q3 line item. You're hoping someone will figure it out without changing the budget or the priority. AEO doesn't reward casual interest.

ANTE clients

AEO is the priority, not the side bet.

You've seen ChatGPT recommend a competitor when your name should have been in the answer. You're done waiting for the right time. You want to be cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and whatever ships next.

6

Not a fit

Trying to dig out of a hole.

Headcount cuts last quarter, runway under twelve months, growth rate trending the wrong way. AEO is a compounding bet that pays off over quarters, not weeks. You need a turnaround, and we'd be the wrong place to put that money.

ANTE clients

Stable or growing. Looking for the next leg up.

The fundamentals are working. The team has air. You want to use the next twelve months to lock in a position in AI search before your category gets crowded with people who saw the opportunity later than you did.

7

Not a fit

Still hunting for product-market fit.

Customers don't stick, the team is rewriting the positioning every quarter, the ICP keeps changing. Marketing amplifies a clear answer. It doesn't manufacture one. You'll get more out of a CMO consultant than an AEO retainer right now.

ANTE clients

Have PMF and want more pipeline at the top.

Your existing customers are loud about why they picked you. The problem is, the people who would also pick you can't find you yet. That's a distribution problem. That's what we fix.

8

Not a fit

Sorting agencies by hourly rate.

You're putting four shops on a spreadsheet and choosing the lowest line. The cheapest option isn't a price negotiation. It's a signal that you don't believe the work is worth what it actually costs.

ANTE clients

Know the cost of being invisible.

You can articulate what one inbound qualified lead is worth, what one enterprise deal is worth, and what it costs every month your competitor is in the answer and you aren't. The retainer reads small against those numbers.

If you're a fit, let's go.
