San Francisco buyers adopted AI search before any other market. When a SoMa CTO evaluates platforms, they ask ChatGPT and Perplexity before Google. We optimize across all three surfaces for SF's AI-native buyer behavior.

The problem
The city that builds AI tools uses AI tools to research vendors. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews are primary research surfaces for SF technical buyers.
ChatGPT gives direct answers. SF buyers never click through. Without AEO, you're invisible.
200 posts. Traffic flatlined. SF domains have DA 70+. Traditional SEO alone can't break through.
500 keywords. 90% informational. SF buyer-intent terms go to competitors.
SF buyers build the fastest platforms in the world. Your 4-second site is unacceptable.
When SF CTOs ask for recommendations, does ChatGPT mention you? Without AEO, no.
Your marketing blog vs Stripe's engineering blog. SF demands genuine technical authority.
