Curio Digital Reviews & Testimonials
Webflow Review from Hannah Reid-Foley
It is great working with Davi & team! They are extremely knowledgeable and thorough with their work. Easy to get along with and quick to answer any questions we may have.
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!

Timothy Holmes's Review Sourced from Google
Movement Maker built my site a few years back, and I've stayed close to Brett and Leslee since. What I've watched them do is rare. Most agencies are still optimizing for how people searched in 2022; Movement Maker has moved their whole practice into AI search and Generative Engine Optimization — the work that now decides whether buyers find you at all. Their original craft hasn't slipped either; it's sharper. I recommend them not just as a former client, but as someone who has watched them stay ahead of where this industry is going.
Bartlett Cocke General Contractors's Review Sourced from Google
Movement Maker did an excellent job creating our new website. From our very first meeting, we meshed well together thanks to our shared values and vision. Their team was exceptional from start to finish, professional, responsive, and highly collaborative throughout the entire process. They took the time to truly understand our goals and went above and beyond to bring our vision to life in a way that exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Movement Maker to anyone looking for a talented and reliable web partner.
Aquila Mendez-Valdez's Review Sourced from Google

It was a wonderful experience to work with Brandon on the redesign of my website. He is extremely skilled at what he does (the work product), but also very knowledgeable about what it takes to build a websitethat serves clients and converts sales. The process is a true partnership from start to finish to ensure that my vision and preferences were incorporated from start to finish. Within days of my new site going live, I had inquiries coming in from prospective clients seeking consultation calls and prospective partners seeking an opportunity to work together on podcasts and written articles. I highly recommend working with Brandon!

Right after i rating 3 to this business, i received call from business owner and he has discussed issue. So i have increased one more star. Hoping for the good service next time.My previous reply was as follows:Marketing response is .1% which is i think correct as compare to others. Secondly, they do not reply back after making so many calls. Third, they have closed business now as they have not run my campaign despite depositing fee.

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:
- Build a technically healthy website.
- Establish topical authority through SEO.
- Improve content structure for AI retrieval.
- Monitor AI visibility alongside traditional rankings.
Companies that skip foundational SEO often struggle because AI systems have less trustworthy content to reference.
