Captiva helped us bridge the gap between great content and real AI-driven discovery.

The Testimonial

We spend upwards of $25k/month on content and paid ads, but our leadership team kept asking one question we couldn’t answer: Are we showing up in AI search yet? I ran the same question—‘What are the top software platforms for solar energy management?’—through multiple LLMs and Captiva was right: We were invisible.

Their audit exposed structural issues we never considered. Our site lacked proper entity recognition, our content wasn’t LLM-friendly, and our messaging was inconsistent across key digital properties. Captiva didn’t just point this out—they rolled up their sleeves and worked with our team to fix it.

Now, we’re surfacing in LLM outputs for critical keywords like ‘solar SaaS’ and ‘energy forecasting tools,’ and our content is being cited by name. We’ve also been able to measure a 14% lift in organic leads that we directly attribute to LLM-driven visibility.

I’ve worked with a lot of vendors. Captiva is different. They aren’t optimizing for yesterday’s algorithms—they’re preparing you for tomorrow’s market.

Their process was clear, fast, and eye-opening—finally, SEO that makes sense in 2025.

The Testimonial

I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sold on the whole ‘AI search is the future’ idea at first. We’ve always relied on word of mouth, reviews, and local SEO to bring in clients. But when a colleague showed me how his firm started showing up in ChatGPT results, I realized we were already behind.

I booked a 15-minute session with Captiva, and what I got was a masterclass in modern visibility. They broke down exactly how our site was being misunderstood by AI models—from missing schema to outdated copy and unstructured pages. They helped us restructure our site and clarify our expertise so that LLMs could actually reference us with confidence.

A few months later, we’re being cited by AI tools in queries like ‘Who are top-rated family lawyers in Denver?’ and we’ve seen a clear uptick in inbound inquiries where people say they ‘read about us in ChatGPT.’ I didn’t even know that was a thing. Captiva gave us not just rankings, but relevance in how people discover and trust services today.

Captiva’s insights were a game-changer, unlocking alpha with AI we didn’t even existed.

The Testimonial

I’ve worked with a dozen SEO consultants over the years, and while they all promised rankings, none of them could explain why our brand still didn’t show up in AI-generated answers. I tried asking ChatGPT about the best clean skincare brands, and we were nowhere—even though we rank well on Google and have thousands of happy customers.

Then we found Captiva. Their audit was completely different from anything I’d seen. It wasn’t just about keywords—it was about structure, schema, brand narrative, and how AI models interpret and trust your content. Within two weeks of implementing their recommendations, we were appearing in AI answers for queries like ‘best natural products for eczema’ and ‘small batch skincare brands to try.’

That kind of visibility has opened up new organic traffic streams that no traditional SEO tool even tracks. Captiva helped us future-proof our marketing, and frankly, it’s the smartest $499 a month we’ve ever spent.
