AGENTU SIGNAL - MARKET OPTIMISATION (SEO & AEO)
Buyers are asking AI about your category right now. SIGNAL makes the answer you.
The free diagnostic scores whether AI can find, understand and trust you. Agentu SIGNAL is the monthly programme that moves all three: new and refreshed answers published every month, one identity everywhere your brand appears, and what AI says about you checked and corrected at the source. Working every week - proven in a one-page report you can read in two minutes. Added to your CORE plan.

The answer is being written now - with or without you
When a buyer asks an AI assistant who to choose, it reads the field, weighs the evidence, and hands back a shortlist - often an answer of one. Two things are true about that answer, and together they are the whole case for SIGNAL.
What AI believes about who you are hardens over time. Every month a rival is named instead of you, the recommendation gets more confident and harder to displace. Moving early banks an asset your competitors then have to take from you.
What AI cites is rewritten constantly. The sources behind the answers shift as content ages and rivals publish. Visibility is maintained, not bought once - which is why SIGNAL is a monthly programme, not a project.
SIGNAL does both jobs: it fixes and protects your identity in the places AI learns from, and it keeps winning the citations that put you in this month's answer.
If you're not in the answer, you're not in the room. Own the answer.
What you get
One programme with one job: make you the answer your buyers get - and prove it, month after month.
The questions your buyers actually ask
We map around 50 real questions your buyers put to AI assistants and track the answers every month. You see which answers you're in, which a rival owns, and which are still unclaimed - so every hour of work aims at questions with buyers behind them.
Content that wins the citation
New and refreshed answer pages shipped every month - written, published and kept current for you - so you become the source an AI assistant cites when the question is asked. The buyers it sends arrive already half-convinced.
One identity, everywhere
Your site, Google Business Profile, directories, LinkedIn and review platforms all tell the same, correct story. When your identity is coherent everywhere AI reads, no assistant ever invents its own version of you.
What AI says about you, checked monthly
Every month we ask each AI assistant to describe your business, score the answer for accuracy, and trace any error to its source and fix it. Brand safety for the channel you can't watch.
Proof AI is reading you
Because we build and host your foundation, we can see the moment AI systems read your pages - or fail to - and fix faults the same week. Any page still uncited 37 days after publishing is treated as a technical fault and escalated at no charge.
Proof you can read in two minutes
A one-page report every month: how often AI cites you, your share of voice against competitors you name, and the enquiries that followed - every number reconciled to evidence. Value milestones agreed in writing at onboarding and reviewed at month 3.
What's inside SIGNAL
Every part exists to win the recommendation - and to prove it did.
- THE QUESTION MAP Around 50 buyer questions tracked monthly across the AI your buyers actually use - Google's AI search and ChatGPT as standard.
- THE CONTENT Answer-shaped pages written, published and refreshed: the crisp answer first, the depth behind it, structured so AI can lift and cite it.
- THE IDENTITY Your business described identically everywhere AI learns from - structured data, Google Business Profile, directories, LinkedIn, reviews.
- THE LOCAL LAYER Google Business Profile and review strategy - the platforms that count for your industry, kept active and answered.
- THE PERCEPTION CHECK What each AI assistant says about you, scored monthly, with errors corrected at the source.
- THE EVIDENCE Crawler-level proof AI read your pages, straight from your own site's edge - not a third-party tool's guess.
- THE REPORT One page, plain English, every number reconciled to evidence. No dashboard to learn, no homework.

Why SIGNAL only runs on an Agentu foundation
Visibility work runs on top of your website. On a slow, unreadable foundation, every pound of it leaks: you pay to point buyers and AI crawlers at pages they can't read fast, parse cleanly, or trust. Specialist agencies will optimise a site they didn't build and can't fix. We won't - because the result would embarrass both of us.
So SIGNAL is only sold on a CORE foundation, where the technical floor is guaranteed: sub-second loads, agent-readable structure, evidence from the edge. Don't optimise a leaking funnel. Fix the foundation, then amplify. Your rebuild happens inside the first month - and the two together still cost less than the entry price of a specialist retainer alone.

Questions founders ask
We already have an SEO agency. Is SIGNAL the same thing?
No. Traditional SEO optimises your position in a list of links, and that list is shrinking - under 1 in 3 Google searches now ends in a click to any website (SparkToro, 2026). SIGNAL optimises the answer that replaced the list: the recommendation an AI assistant gives when your buyer asks who to choose. We track the questions that matter, publish the content that wins the citation, keep your identity consistent everywhere AI reads, and show you the movement every month. Run the free diagnostic and you will see the gap your rankings hide.
Can I buy SIGNAL without a CORE website?
No, and that is deliberate. Visibility work runs on top of your website: if the foundation is slow or unreadable to AI crawlers, every pound of optimisation leaks. Specialist agencies will optimise a site they did not build and cannot fix - we will not, because the results would embarrass both of us. Your CORE rebuild happens inside the first month, and CORE Starter plus SIGNAL together still cost less than the entry price of a typical UK specialist retainer.
Can I not just use an AI-visibility tool instead?
Tools are good at showing you where you are invisible - and then the work lands on your desk. The writing, the fixing, the profile and review upkeep, the corrections when an AI describes you wrongly: that monthly grind is what actually moves the answer, and it is exactly what SIGNAL does for you. A dashboard is homework. SIGNAL is done for you.
How will I know it is working?
You get a one-page report every month, in plain English: how often AI cites you on the questions that matter, your share of voice against three competitors you name, what each assistant says about you, and the enquiries that followed. Every number is reconciled to evidence, and we state the limits of attribution honestly. Your value milestones are agreed in writing at onboarding and reviewed together at month 3 - and you can cancel anytime, so we keep the account by earning it.
Who writes and approves what gets published?
We do the heavy lifting and the human checking. Every asset passes human review at Agentu before it ships - nothing goes straight from an AI model to your website. At onboarding we agree your voice, your claim boundaries and your compliance rules, and we work within them. You see everything in a short weekly digest, anything can be rolled back on request, and anything your professional rules require you to sign off - regulated claims, for example - always comes to you first.
What happens if we stop?
You keep the content we published, your identity record and your full report history - no lock-in, nothing held hostage. What you lose is momentum: AI answers are rewritten constantly, and competitors who keep publishing keep gaining ground. That is also the honest reason SIGNAL is a monthly programme rather than a one-off project.
Why is SIGNAL so much cheaper than the specialist agencies?
Efficiency, not thinner delivery. We specialise in a small set of industries, so the research that costs a generalist agency weeks is already in our playbooks - and because we build and host the foundation, we never bill you to diagnose someone else's technical problems. UK specialist GEO/AEO retainers run £2,000-£10,000 a month plus a £1,500-£5,000 setup fee (MarGen, 2026). SIGNAL starts at £795 a month with no setup fee - and the price rises as our results are proven, so early clients lock the best rate.
