Masters of the AEO-GEO Bridge: We win immediate answers and build lasting authority in AI search.

Our Mission

Search has fundamentally changed. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, and Google's AI Overviews are revolutionizing how people find businesses. We've developed the AEO-GEO Bridge strategy to help you dominate both dimensions of AI visibility.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) wins you immediate answers for high-intent searches. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) builds lasting authority that AI engines cite. Together, they create an unbeatable AI visibility strategy.

We believe success comes from mastering both tactical wins and strategic authority in AI search.

Why Mainstay Automation?

Our AEO-GEO Bridge ensures your business dominates both immediate answers and authority citations. You become the mainstay that AI engines trust and recommend.

The AEO-GEO Bridge is our breakthrough approach to AI visibility. While others chase single tactics, we've mastered the dual strategy that dominates AI search.

AEO captures immediate wins: "best dentist near me" queries that need instant answers. GEO builds lasting authority: comprehensive content that AI engines cite as the trusted source.

This two-pillar approach is why our clients don't just appear in AI responses—they're presented as both the immediate answer AND the authoritative source in their field.
