The answer, not the page
Buyers act on the AI's one answer, not a list of links they never open. We get you into the answer itself, named and linked.
Answer engine optimization agency for B2B companies
Be the answer AI gives. Done-for-you AEO from the team at Danish Lead Co: we do the work, not another dashboard.
Your buyers stopped scrolling through ten blue links. They ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Google's AI answers who the best option is, and they act on the one answer they get back. We make sure that answer names you, links you, and ranks you first.

AEO results, measured and dated
We ran the program on our own brand before selling it, and we publish client programmes on the work that has shipped. Where a number has not yet earned publication, the case study says so.
All case studies ->Danish Lead Co: 0 to 170 citations in six weeks
danishleadco.io had zero cited sources in our first measurement on 27 July 2026. By 4 September 2026 it was cited 170 times across 535 tracked AI answers, after the same answer-first program we run for clients.
Read the case study ->Cruitfly: construction and industrial staffing
39 of 51 plan items published in seven weeks, 92 buyer questions and 34 competitors tracked. The write-up covers the entity spine, local schema for two offices and forty-eight state pages that stopped competing with each other.
Read the case study ->CodeCargo: CI/CD security and compliance
100 buyer questions and 26 competitors tracked, seven measurement runs published. One canonical name across site, docs and profiles, an answer pillar, and a comparison layer for the systems their buyers move off.
Read the case study ->Westhive: eight locations, three languages
150 buyer questions across seven language and market pairs, with a published baseline taken before a single change was made. What the start of a multi-location, multilingual AEO programme looks like.
Read the case study ->A different way to be found: by being cited, not by chasing clicks.
Search used to mean ten links and a fight for attention. Now a buyer asks an assistant and acts on a single answer. When an AI answer appears, clicks to the results beneath it can collapse, by nearly 90% in one publisher's regulatory filing. If you are not in the answer, you are not in the decision, and the traffic that converts best now arrives pre-sold on whoever the model named.
Cited, not just ranked
Being quotable is structural: a clear entity, answer-shaped content, and corroboration from the sources a model already trusts.
Compounding presence
Every week you are the cited answer, you become the default the model reaches for. Won early, it is hard for a rival to take back.
The hardest part of AEO is outreach. It is our entire business.
This is not just our claim. In a study of 75,000 brands, Ahrefs found that how often a brand is mentioned across the web tracked its visibility in AI answers more closely than backlinks or domain rating, and most of those mentions carry no link at all. The biggest lever is being named on the sources a model trusts: the listicles, reviews, directories, and publications. Earning a place in them is outreach. Most AEO agencies are SEO shops learning that for the first time. We have done it across 110 businesses and more than 10,000 booked meetings.

Danish Lead Co group figures from its B2B outbound practice since 2021, not AEO results. They are here because earning third-party citations is outreach, and outreach is the work behind these numbers.
We own the lever others cannot
Being cited on third-party sources is the single biggest driver of AI visibility, and it is an outreach problem before it is an SEO one. Earning mentions at scale is exactly what Danish Lead Co has done for five years. We also turn our own data into the kind of specific, cited research AI quotes.
We do it to ourselves first
This site and the answers on it are the method, run on our own brand. We track our own visibility climbing and will show you the chart. We do not experiment on your budget.
We measure honestly
No invented "AI ranking" you cannot verify. We report your share of answers over time and pair it with how customers say they found you. In a category full of vanity dashboards, that is the difference.
Outreach is the lever most agencies miss, but it does not work alone. We run the full program around it: answer-shaped pages and blog posts we write and publish, technical and entity optimization, structured data, and a presence across LinkedIn and YouTube that feeds the engines. The citation edge is what makes the rest pay off, because a model only names a source the wider web already corroborates, and a large share of AI answer citations still come from pages that already rank well. We do both, as one system.
Four ways we make you the cited answer.
Every engagement is led by the number, not the deliverable. We measure where you stand across the engines, then do the work that moves it.
AI Visibility Measurement
Your baseline and ongoing score across ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Mode and Google AI Overviews, per engine and per buyer question. The number every other capability moves.
See how we measure ->Answer-Content & Entity Optimization
The on-site work that makes you quotable: answer-shaped pages and blog posts we write and publish, structured data, entity disambiguation, and the internal linking models need to cite you with confidence.
See the on-site work ->Source Authority Our edge
The single biggest lever in AI visibility, and an outreach problem before an SEO one. We earn you mentions and citations on the listicles, reviews, directories, and publications models trust. It is the exact work Danish Lead Co has run across 10,000+ meetings, now pointed at answer engines.

We do not guess. Every engagement follows the same four steps, the same rigor Danish Lead Co uses for outbound, because that is what turns an invisible brand into the cited answer.
The full method ->
01
Measure where you stand
Baseline how often you appear, get cited, and rank across every major engine for the exact questions your buyers ask.
02
Structure to be quoted
Make your entity unambiguous and your pages answer-shaped, with the schema and links models need to cite you.
03
Source the authority
Build credible presence on the third-party sources that feed answers when the model decides who to name.
04
Monitor and compound
Re-measure weekly, watch who is named instead of you, and put the next month of work where it moves rank.
Your visibility, finally something you can see.
SourceRank AI is a done-for-you service, not software you run. We do the work; the dashboard is simply how you and your team see it: your share of voice across each answer engine, the exact buyer questions you win and lose, who is named instead of you, and the trend as we move it. The demo below runs on a sample account, so its numbers are illustrative, not a client's.
This is the same view your team and ours work from every week. Built on Danish Lead Co's reporting infrastructure, so the number you see is the number we are accountable to.

Original research on what AI engines cite
We publish the measurement behind our advice: dated runs, sample sizes, denominators and the method, so a number can be checked before it is quoted.
What AI engines actually cite
100 buyer questions put to five answer engines, every cited source logged. Review directories were cited in 6 of 500 answers, 1.2%.
Read the study ->What AI engines cite, by industry
4,570 answers across ten industries, 17 to 22 September 2026. Directories were cited in 45.1% of answers for a coworking operator and 1.6% for a financial data vendor.

Your buyer gets one answer from AI. Be that answer.
A buyer who Googles sees ten links and decides for themselves. A buyer who asks an assistant is handed one answer and usually acts on it. If you are not in that answer, you are not in the decision, and you never find out you lost.
That trust cannot be bought with ad spend or faked with volume. It is earned by being genuinely clear, genuinely useful, and corroborated by the sources a model already trusts. Earning it, deliberately and measurably, is the whole of what we do.
Answers about AEO
What is Answer Engine Optimization?
Answer Engine Optimization, or AEO, is the practice of getting your company named, cited, and ranked inside the answers AI assistants give. Instead of optimizing to rank on a page of search links, you optimize to be the source the model quotes when a buyer asks it a question. It combines on-site structure, entity clarity, and off-site authority so engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews can confidently recommend you.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO competes for a ranked position on a results page the buyer still has to read and click. AEO competes to be inside the single answer the AI returns, often before the buyer visits any website at all. SEO and AEO share fundamentals like clean content and authority, but AEO adds entity-level clarity, answer-shaped copy, structured data, and citations on the specific third-party sources models pull from. You can rank page one on Google and still be absent from the AI answer above it.
Which answer engines do you cover?
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. We measure visibility on each separately, because they pull from different sources and reward different signals. We do not measure Perplexity.
How quickly will we see results?
The Visibility Audit gives you a full picture in about two weeks. Structural and entity work tends to move within the first 30 to 60 days. Source authority compounds over a few months, which is why the highest-value programs run continuously rather than as a one-off.
Do you guarantee a number-one ranking in AI answers?
No, and you should distrust anyone who does. Answer engines are probabilistic and change often. What we guarantee is measurement you can trust, a system built on what is actually moving the answer, and weekly reporting so you always know where you stand.
Who is SourceRank AI for?
B2B companies whose buyers research with AI before they buy: software, professional services, agencies, advisory, and logistics among them. It works best when there is a clear buyer question your category gets asked, and a real answer you deserve to be the response to.
