Consider the situation...

Things were a little simpler back when keywords were king, but consumers are now researching products and services in new ways. Many users are turning to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini to compare products, evaluate services, and gather recommendations before verifying results through Google or visiting a website directly.
If your brand isn’t showing up in AI search, potential customers may never find your website.

To see where you stand, pull up your favorite AI tool and try searching for your business using keywords or phrases your customers would use. You may be surprised to find competitors appearing where your brand does not. Results can vary significantly across platforms depending on your online reputation, content quality, website structure, and broader digital footprint.

When companies come to us for AI search and SEO services, we start with a conversation. We work to understand your business goals, the customers you are trying to reach, and where your brand needs to appear. From there, we help structure your website and content so it is easier to discover, understand, and trust across both traditional search engines and AI search tools.

We focus on high-quality original content, meaningful visuals, structured information architecture, and clear user experiences that help buyers make informed decisions.

SEO Optimization Story #1

WHEN A PRODUCT ENTERS THE MARKET

Attracting Visitors from Thin Air

A well-known biotech company experienced a drop in sales after switching e-commerce software systems.

Real Work, a start-up that focuses on connecting workers in the trades with those who hire them, needed a marketing site to promote and serve as an entry point to their product. It needed to be easy to navigate and visually compelling while maintaining a different look from the web application.


“Flower Press Interactive built our website to tell a story and draw users into our product, a hiring platform for the trades. The site is easy to use, and allowed us to add structured data, clear content, and blog posts to keep things fresh. The SEO basics were in place and we were able to use it as an entry-point for our product.”

You Might be Wondering…

How long does an AI search and SEO take?

+-

Initial setup generally takes 2–3 weeks. Most engagements continue over time through ongoing optimization, monitoring, and content improvements.

How long much does an AI search and SEO engagement cost?

+-

AI search and SEO engagements typically begin with a $750 audit and a monthly budget starting at $2,500.

We also offer supporting services including copywriting, visual design, website redesign, and content strategy to help clients meet broader business goals. Supporting services are priced separately.

How long will it take to see results from AI search and SEO engagements?

+-

Results may appear within weeks or months depending on the condition of your current website, the competitiveness of your industry, and the scope of improvements required.

Changes to information architecture, indexing, structured data, and content quality can all influence visibility across both search engines and AI search tools. Some platforms may respond quickly to improvements in third-party signals, social activity, reviews, directories, and community discussion.

What You Need to Know About AI Search

How is AI Search different from traditional SEO?

+-

AI search relies on trust signals from across the Internet. Unlike traditional SEO, which focused heavily on keywords and rankings, AI search evaluates broader signals including website content, online directories, social media, reviews, structured data, and mentions on authoritative websites.
AI systems also look for clear information architecture, semantic structure, content quality, and consistency across your digital footprint.

What is the customer experience like in AI search?

+-

Using AI search tools, buyers can research products and services without leaving the chat interface. In this environment, content becomes exceedingly important.

Anticipating buyer questions and providing clear, structured answers ahead of time helps users understand your services while improving how AI systems interpret and reference your website.

What influences results on AI search?

+-

Many brands with a strong online presence across directories, social channels, and research websites like SubStack and Reddit are ranking higher in AI search than brands that focused primarily on keyword optimization or traditional digital advertising over the past decade.

A strong digital footprint, supported by high-quality original content across channels, is one of the best ways to improve visibility in AI search. Unlike traditional SEO, AI search places heavier emphasis on trust signals, structured information, authority, and relevance across the broader web ecosystem.

What does AI search look at?

+-

AI systems evaluate signals from across your digital ecosystem. Your website matters, but so do the broader trust signals associated with your brand.

These may include:

  • Authority indicators and media coverage
  • Reviews and community discussion
  • Website structure and schema
  • Original content and case studies
  • Social engagement and partnerships

AI systems increasingly prioritize credibility, clarity, and consistency over traditional keyword targeting alone.

Do different AI search tools behave differently?

+-

ChatGPT
Often favors established authority and institutional trust.

Gemini
Strongly connected to structured data, search, maps, and commerce signals.

Claude
Responds well to nuanced, information-rich content.

Grok
Places heavier emphasis on real-time conversation and public sentiment.

Perplexity
Frequently surfaces community discussion, reviews, and forum content.

What kind of content performs best in AI search?

+-

Modern AI systems are designed to identify useful, verifiable information. Content that includes specific details, structured explanations, and authentic expertise tends to perform better than vague marketing language alone.

The goal is no longer just to rank. It is to become a trusted source AI systems choose to reference.

SEO Optimization Story #2

WHEN WEBSITE TRAFFIC IS CRICKETS

Bringing Customers Back

A biotech company experienced a drop in conversions after making major structural changes to its site. We conducted an SEO assessment, restructured key areas to improve indexing and crawlability, and continue to optimize the experience through ongoing support and enhancements.


“There are many agencies that say they know how to do web development and SEO, but fail in the execution. Flower Press knows what they are doing, is honest about their abilities, and actually knows best practices for web development. If we ask them to do something they haven’t done before, they get our approval to learn about it and they always execute the new capability well.”
