Chelsea Wolf
Review from Google
5.0★
Chelsea Wolf's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cannonball twice now—first at a previous job, and now again in my current role—and for good reason. When I started my new position, I knew right away I wanted to bring Cannonball on board to help us take our digital marketing and SEO strategy to the next level because I had seen first hand what they could do for a business.
What sets them apart is their undeniable authenticity. They don’t push cookie-cutter solutions—they take time to understand the unique needs of each market we serve and tailor their approach accordingly. If you have ideas, they aren’t afraid to tell you how they would do things instead. That’s huge for a company like mine, where every market has its own personality and our internal marketing department is small.
The team at Cannonball goes above and beyond. They’ve been a true partner—offering support, insights, and even helpful connections that go well beyond ad strategy. It’s clear they care about client success and not just the metrics.
If you’re looking for a digital marketing agency in Sioux Falls that knows their stuff and treats you like more than just another account, Cannonball is a slam dunk.

Review from Google

Reliabank Local's Review Sourced from Google
As a community bank, finding a digital marketing agency that truly understands our unique markets and evolving needs was critical—and Cannonball in Sioux Falls, South Dakota has delivered on every level.
From the start, Cannonball took the time to understand Reliabank’s goals, audiences, and regional differences, never offering a one-size-fits-all strategy. Their team listened, asked the right questions, and created a digital marketing and SEO strategy tailored specifically to us.
They’ve gone far beyond simply managing ad spend or sending monthly reports—they’ve been a true partner. Whether it's optimizing our SEO, enhancing our digital presence, or connecting us with valuable resources, their support has been proactive and strategic.
In today’s rapidly changing digital landscape, I knew we needed to level up our digital strategy. Choosing Cannonball was an easy and confident decision—and we continue to see results. I highly recommend Cannonball to any business looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and thoughtful digital marketing partner.

Advery Agency is an exceptional partner for Cool Tounsi. They manage our digital presence from A to Z (Google My Business + social media: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok) with a truly strategic approach and highly professional execution.
They regularly conduct photoshoots in the restaurant, produce relevant user-generated content (UGC), and consistently publish reels and stories to keep our pages active and engaging. The Ramadan campaign was well-conceived, creative, and perfectly organized, and the ad management was handled meticulously (targeting, tracking, optimization).
Ultimately, Advery helped us build a more active and professional online presence, with a solid infrastructure behind it. I highly recommend them.

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.
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.
