Ольга Борисовна's Review Sourced from Google
I ordered a website audit, expecting to receive a standard list of errors, but it turned out to be much more detailed than that. In addition to the issues they found, I received clear recommendations for each key point and explanations of why each one needed to be fixed. After this audit, I had a clear understanding of where to start when working on the website. Thank you to the team!!!!
Oussama Elmellali's Review Sourced from Google
We spent a long time choosing a company to promote our website and finally settled on this one. Since we started working with them, our traffic has increased significantly, and our site has appeared more frequently in search results for important keywords. Special thanks to the team for their efficiency, clear communication, and responsible approach
Мария Ольшанская's Review Sourced from Google
I contacted the company for an SEO consultation for a medical website. Before the call, the specialists had already reviewed the project, so the conversation was as detailed as possible. I received many helpful recommendations on technical aspects, internal optimization, links, and competitor analysis. After the consultation, I had a clear understanding of what to do next.

swole Phillips's Review Sourced from Google
I had a great experience working with Jay Sharma and Info Web USA Technologies on the development of my website. Jay was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my vision, my brand, and what I wanted the website to accomplish, then helped bring those ideas to life.What I appreciated most was his willingness to listen to my feedback and make adjustments until everything felt right. The process was smooth, communication was consistent, and I’m very happy with the final result. I would definitely recommend Jay and Info Web USA Technologies to anyone looking for someone reliable and professional to help build or improve their website.
chris owsley's Review Sourced from Google
Finding affordable online web page publicity for my school, Montrose Academy, was always a difficult hurdle. I had never met AJ’s team in person, so I felt a bit hesitant at first, but hiring them completely paid off. They are incredibly diligent. They helped me find what my real content is and put it out in a technological way that actually fits what I believe. They are patient while keeping our web project moving forward, and I strongly recommend them.
William's Review Sourced from Google

Vick's Review Sourced from Google
Before working with SOL Studios, our website looked dated and wasn't helping people find us. They rebuilt it and set up the local SEO for our financial services business in Melbourne. Since launch, we've had more than 40 enquiries come through the website.Maran was straightforward about what was worth doing and never pushed extras we didn't need. Really happy with how it turned out.
Mourad's Review Sourced from Google
We engaged Sol Studios to complete a crucial website project that our previous agency failed to complete, and they exceeded our expectations at every turn. From the first conversation, they were responsive, courteous, and clearly deep experts in front-end technologies. Despite a very tight timeline, they diagnosed and fixed all our outstanding issues quickly, helping us hit our go-live date without a hitch. They offered ongoing support after launch. Highly recommend if you need a team that's both technically strong and genuinely a pleasure to work with.
Robin Gaber's Review Sourced from Google
Had Sol studios redo our website and sort our google business profile. As a builder out of Hobart you live and die by referrals and online presence so this stuff matters alot more then people think. Got there website build for the page count we needed. Site looks proper were showing up in searches we never used to and the AI SEO side is a real point of difference for us in this market. Maran was upfront on timelines and pricing from day 1 which is rare in our industry trust me iv been burnt before. Job well done lads.

Ben Lee's Review Sourced from Google
My engagement with SLIDEFACTORY has been one of the best working experiences of my career. After launching multiple SaaS products as a product manager, I've worked with a fair number of technical teams ranging across a variety of tech stacks. SLIDEFACTORY has proven to be one of the most competent, agile, and customer obsessed teams I've worked with. After launching my own business and needing a detail oriented tech arm to execute, Mark and Tom were the people I needed to bring my vision to life. I owe them a lot and I look forward to the things we'll accomplish together.
Leisa Raymond's Review Sourced from Google
I had a fantastic experience working with Mark at The Slide Factory. He was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, asking thoughtful questions to ensure every detail was just right. His attention to detail and commitment to getting it perfect really stood out. The final product turned out beautifully, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. On top of that, Mark was kind, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend his services!
Peter Kirwan's Review Sourced from Google
The Slide Factory is one of those companies you don't often have the privilege of working with. It's not just that they do high-quality work, listen to the client, meet your deadlines, and bring insights that may not have been on your radar. Those are important, of course. I think I value most that they are nice people to work with. They sincerely want you to succeed, and that can make all the difference. They are part of your team, and to me, that makes all the difference in the long run. They truly are a partner, not a company working for you.

Arfadia Reviews & Testimonials
Mark's Review Sourced from Google
So I searched google for a good web developer and digital agency, contacted five companies. Arfadia called back within a few hours, and the founder himself called, not a sales rep. He came to the presentation already having done homework on our business.What surprised me was before I'd even signed or paid anything he gave me free strategic input that actually changed how I thought about our digital approach. The all-inclusive package, website plus photography plus SEO, was both practical and cost-effective. Rankings improved, customer inquiries went up. Would recommend.
Rashid khan's Review Sourced from Google
The SEO tech audit arfadia did was incredibly thorough and super helpful. as a new business owner i had no clue where to begin with online marketing. They broke down exactly what needed fixing on my site and gave me a clear roadmap.found them through Google search and couldn't be happier. their team explained technical SEO stuff in simple terms that actualy made sense. The audit revealed issues i never would have caught myself.realy grateful for their seo services. Finally feel confident about my website's performance. This digital marketing agency knows what they're doing. highly recommend for anyone starting out!
Jaylee Tyler's Review Sourced from Google

7 FAQs About Answer Engine Optimization Companies
How much do answer engine optimization services cost?
On average, answer engine optimization services cost between $1,000 and $3,500 per month for small businesses and startups, while mid-tier retainers range from $4,000 to $12,000 per month.
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?
Most businesses see first AEO results within 2-6 weeks, though this timeline might vary depending on where you're starting from and how solid your LLM brand visibility is.
Here's a breakdown by starting point:
| Starting Position | First Citation |
| Strong SEO foundation | 2-4 weeks |
| Moderate SEO presence | 4-8 weeks |
| New or weak domain | 8-12 weeks |
| Local service business | 3-6 weeks |
A few factors worth noting:
- 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:
