Ashley Pola

Web Design Review from Ashley Pola
Single Origin handled the rebrand and website redesign for CalmWave, our healthcare AI platform, and did it with a level of strategic rigor most agencies don't bring to a regulated, technical product. The site now builds trust with clinicians and enterprise buyers instead of just looking polished. They were incredible to work with and delivered real results in our budget and timeline. I would recommend without hesitation.

Website Redesign Review from Kirsten Carlson
Really good people - they came highly recommended and lived up to the hype with an on time and under budget project. Their knowledge, communication and professionalism are all very impressive! They also went above and beyond, even guiding us (politely) away from wish list ideas that wouldn’t fit with the functionality we wanted.

5.0★
Webflow Review from Melissa Valentino
We've partnered with Curio Digital for about five years, and they have become one of the most trusted extension teams we work with. As a creative agency, having dependable development partners is critical, and Curio consistently exceeds expectations. They have supported TDH Creative on numerous Webflow website projects, and the quality of their work is exceptional. Their development is clean, thoughtful, and technically sound, but what really sets them apart is their communication and project management. They're responsive, proactive, transparent, and consistently deliver on what they commit to. As an account lead, that level of reliability makes a tremendous difference. Curio has also been incredibly collaborative throughout the creative process. They work seamlessly with our designers and strategists, offering solutions when challenges arise while always respecting the creative vision. They don't simply execute requirements they think through the best approach and genuinely care about delivering the best possible outcome for both us and our clients. Another aspect I appreciate is their pricing. They provide outstanding value for the quality of work they deliver, and I've always found them to be fair, honest, and transparent when it comes to estimates and project scope. If you're looking for a Webflow development partner that combines technical expertise, exceptional communication, reliability, and a true collaborative spirit, I would highly recommend Curio Digital. They've been an outstanding partner to TDH Creative, and I look forward to continuing our relationship for years to come.

B2B Review from Andrew Stiefel
The Curio team has helped us evolve the Endor Labs website from selling a single product, to a single buyer, to selling multiple products to the full enterprise buying committee. Part of that included building product-led experience for platform engineers and developers alongside our existing inbound sales motion for security teams, and rapidly evolving the brand and content. The team is incredibly responsive, often turning work around same day or within a week as we prepare for major industry events and respond to industry shifts. They're fantastic partners, great humans, and I couldn't recommend them faster!

Max Lin
Director of Brand at AppSumo
4.8★
SEO Review from Max Lin
We worked with Omniscient Digital for two years on SEO and content strategy for the AppSumo blog. The work covered biweekly check-ins, monthly link building, keyword tracking, content refresh roadmaps, and category pages. Every meeting came with a prepared deck and clear next steps, with proactive Slack messages between calls.
David and the Omniscient team were always on top of their game and clearly knew their stuff. We went from most tracked keywords sitting on page 4+ to a good chunk on pages 1 through 3. Following Omniscient's content refreshes, our search terms for "graphic design software" and AppSumo's software alternatives posts climbed to page 1. They also identified a great opportunity to grow our monthly blog traffic 35% by focusing on two content categories.
Knowledgeable team with tons of experience, easy to work with, and strong results. Would highly recommend.

Digital Marketing Review from Robert Millar
We engaged W3 Group Marketing to do a "Competitive Advantage Engine" which is an initial analysis of our company, our marketing, competitive intelligence and coming up with prioritized recommendations to help us attract more clients and grow our business. We then hired them to help us with building out and optimizing directory listings, helping our SEO and help us generate leads for our business. They generated hundreds of leads in a short time, and over-delivered practically every step of the way. We even won an award in the process! Highly recommended, especially for strategy and implementation that gets results.

Unlike traditional SEO retainers, AEO pricing is determined based on how much technical implementation, content production, and authority building the agency performs.
Common factors affecting the pricing include:
Website complexity: Large websites require more data, entity optimization, and content restructuring.
Content production: Creating AI-friendly guides, FAQs, comparison pages, and expert resources often represent the largest portion of an AEO agency’s output.
Technical fixes: Schema markup, internal linking improvements, crawl optimization, and index management encompass frequent adjustments.
Authority building: Digital PR, expert citations, and high-quality mentions are frequently priced separately.
Tracking and reporting: Some answer engine optimization companies include AI visibility tracking, while others charge extra for monitoring across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude.
What do answer engine optimization companies charge that most buyers don't expect?
Many answer engine optimization companies charge their technical and editorial work separately from the retainer.
Other common exclusions include:
Content production: Original expert articles, comparison pages, FAQs, and buying guides.
Development work: Schema implementation, page template updates, and technical fixes.
External outreach: Digital PR initiatives and link-building campaigns.
AI visibility monitoring: Platform-specific reporting and citation tracking.
Subject matter expert interviews: Original expertise used to strengthen authority signals.
How do I know if my current answer engine optimization strategy is underperforming?
Your AEO strategy is underperforming if AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews rarely cite your brand when answering questions in your niche.
Here's how to diagnose it quickly:
Zero or rare citations Run 15-20 queries your customers would normally ask, across multiple AI platforms. If you're absent more often than not, that's your baseline problem.
Outdated or wrong information surfaces When AI does mention you, check if it's pulling stale data, old pricing, or discontinued services.
Competitors dominate the answer box If rivals consistently appear in synthesized answers and you don't, their content structure is simply more "extractable" than yours.
No structured data footprint Missing schema markup (FAQ, HowTo, Organization) makes it harder for language models to parse and trust your content as a source.
Your content reads like marketing, not reference material AI engines favor clear, factual, well-organized answers over persuasive copy.
The quickest fix would be to audit your query coverage, as traditional SEO metrics won't reveal this gap. You will need to query the engines yourself and track citation frequency over time.
Should I hire a specialist answer engine optimization company or a general SEO agency?
You should hire a specialist answer engine optimization company if AI visibility is now central to your customer acquisition.
While many traditional SEO agencies are expanding their offering into AEO services, specialized AEO providers understand how to structure answers for extraction (clear definitions, direct claims, logical hierarchy).
That said, a hybrid approach often works best. If your traditional SEO is already solid, a specialist AEO partner can layer in the missing technical and structural pieces.
If your SEO foundation is weak, fix that first. AEO without strong content fundamentals is like building on sand.
What is a realistic timeline to see results from answer engine optimization services?
Platform speed varies: Perplexity indexes new content within hours to days, while ChatGPT lags since it depends on training data plus limited browsing.
Existing authority compounds: Roughly 76% of sources cited in Google AI Overviews already rank in the top 10 organic results, so traditional SEO strength directly accelerates AEO.
Updates matter more than rewrites: High-value pages should be refreshed monthly with new statistics and examples, rather than redone completely.
Which AI search platforms should an AEO strategy target first?
You should prioritize the AEO strategy based on where your customers search, rather than on platform popularity alone. That said, ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews are the safest starting point for most strategies, since they currently command the largest share of AI-driven search traffic.
Here are a few observations about each AI platform to consider:
ChatGPT. With hundreds of millions of weekly users, it's become a primary research and purchasing-decision tool, especially for B2B and informational queries.
Google AI Overviews. Since it's embedded directly in traditional search results, even users not actively seeking AI answers encounter it by default, making it nearly impossible to ignore.
Perplexity. Smaller user base, but disproportionately influential among researchers, analysts, and early adopters who value citation transparency.
Microsoft Copilot. Worth monitoring if your audience skews enterprise, since it's integrated into Microsoft 365 workflows many businesses already use daily.
Will answer engine optimization replace SEO, or do I need both?
No, answer engine optimization won’t replace SEO, as it builds on SEO’s foundations.
Most AI systems still discover and evaluate websites using the same signals that support traditional search visibility, including crawlability, content quality, authority, and structured information. AEO extends those fundamentals by making content easier for AI systems to interpret, summarize, and cite.
For most organizations, the progression looks like this:
Build a technically healthy website.
