“Best accountant for small business in Chicago North Side?”
Someone just typed that into Claude. The AI answered. Confidently. With one name. Was it yours?
Old Google gave you ten blue links. AI gives one answer.
You could be number three. Number five. And still get traffic. That world is ending.
AI gives one answer. The funnel hasn’t narrowed — it’s collapsed. If you’re not in the citations, you don’t exist.
And this isn’t theory. Our clients — and our own sites — now see between 14 and 22 percent of their traffic coming from AI. Replacing traditional search and ad traffic in some cases. The SaaS industry average? 1.5 percent.

AI visitors vs organic
AI when choosing a brand
So ask yourself: if 20 percent of discovery is now happening inside AI, and AI recommends one business — is it recommending yours?
When AI recommends you, the visitor arrives ready to buy.
They’re not the green, just-looking visitor of the SEO days. They’ve cross-checked you. Asked AI follow-up questions. Compared you to alternatives. By the time they land, trust has already been built.
AI-referred visitors convert at over four times the rate of traditional search. This is a different marketing world. Most sites weren’t built for it.
You’ve been paying SEO agencies for rankings that matter less every month. Now? AI reads your content once. Either cites you — or doesn’t.
Built for one thing — getting you cited by AI.
Cherry Tree is the AEO content pipeline that runs on your WordPress site. We research, write, publish, and index AI-optimised content — end to end. A fully managed service.
Seeds
Citable content blocks — the building blocks of AI citations. Short, structured, fact-rich answers to the exact questions your customers are asking.
Articles
Long-form pieces that anchor your authority. 1,200+ words, AEO-optimised, cross-linked for context AI systems trust — with references from sites they already trust.
Cherry Bee
Our indexing plugin. Pushes your content directly to Google, Bing, and Brave via API. No waiting for crawlers. Working on your AI citations from week one.
Six Anchors
Built-in controls for market voice, brand voice, writing style, market space, and two layers of auditing — giving you granular control of every piece of content.
Three steps. No busywork on your side.
We Research & Write
Cherry Tree investigates what your customers are actually asking — on Reddit, YouTube, search. It uses sources you provide, including your existing site content, or finds its own. Every month, we publish AI-optimised content on your WordPress site.
Structured For AI
Content in Q&A format with schema markup, clear entity structure, and citations AI systems trust. Seeds and articles cross-linked for context. Then indexed directly via Cherry Bee — no waiting for crawlers.
You Own Everything
Every article and seed lives on your domain, in your WordPress install. Content goes live automatically or waits for your sign-off — your choice. No vendor lock-in. You keep everything.
The window is open now. First movers win.
Every week, someone else fills a citation slot. When AI only recommends two or three businesses, it’s a tight window to fit into — and a big loss if you’re not in it.
This is not a long-term SEO play that takes 12 months to show results. AI systems index faster than Google ranks. You’ll start appearing in AI-generated answers within 6–10 weeks.
AEO works best when your customers research before they buy.

Read Case Study →Frequently asked questions
How long until I see results?
6–10 weeks. AI systems index faster than Google ranks. You’ll start appearing in AI-generated answers well before traditional SEO kicks in.
Does this increase normal Google SEO too?
Yes. After about 8 weeks you’ll see an exponential increase in traditional organic rankings as well. The structured, high-quality content benefits both AI and Google.
Do I need to do anything?
Sign off on the content plan at the start. After that, Seresa handles everything — research, writing, publishing, schema markup, indexing, and monitoring.
Do we get to audit and edit articles?
Yes — human-in-the-chain. You sign off at the idea stage and again on final articles before they go live. Or choose auto-publish and review after.
What if we don’t like the articles?
We run a trial system at the beginning so you can see the quality before committing fully. There’s also an allowance for rejects built into the process.
Do we need to give you website access?
Yes — for seamless setup and publishing, we need WordPress access. Alternatives are possible if your security requirements demand it.
Will this work for my industry?
AEO works best for businesses where buyers ask research questions before purchasing. If your customers search “best [your service] for [use case]”, you’re a fit.
Why is AEO prepaid?
Because results take time to build and we commit resources from day one. Prepaid keeps things simple: one payment, full programme, no invoices to chase.
What happens when my package ends?
You own all the content — it stays on your site. You can renew for another term, upgrade to a higher tier, or stop. No penalty. No content removed. No lock-in.
What exactly is included in my package?
Setup (Cherry Tree + Cherry Bee installed on your WordPress site), initial keyword research, content planning, articles and seeds per month for the full term, schema markup, Cherry Bee API indexing, and weekly reporting. Fully managed — your only input is signing off on the content plan.
Do I get a service agreement?
Yes. On confirmation you receive a full service agreement covering scope, deliverables, timeline, and terms.
