AI Search Optimization Agency.
One agency for Google and the assistants.
An AI search optimization agency makes a brand findable in both classic search and AI assistants, and treats them as one program rather than two. Bonsai Marketing is that agency: SEO, generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization run together on the BonsaiX platform, with one entity graph, one content system and one monthly scorecard across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Mode. Based in Santa Rosa, California; local service businesses in Sonoma County and multi-location and national brands anywhere in the United States.
The case for
getting this right.
Search has split. Some of your buyers still type into Google; a growing share ask an assistant and never see a results page. A program that only does one side is leaving the other half of the demand to a competitor.
The two sides share foundations. Entity clarity, structured data, real authority and clean technical SEO help both. Running them as separate vendors means paying twice for the same foundation and getting two reports that disagree.
Nobody owns the outcome when the work is split. One agency with one scorecard means one answer to the only question that matters: are we getting found and chosen, everywhere people ask?
What ships.
No scope drift.
Activity is easy.
Outcomes count.
- → Organic rankings and traffic on the topical map
- → AI visibility score across five platforms
- → Calls, forms and booked appointments attributed to organic and AI
- → Share of voice against named competitors on both surfaces
Measured on the BonsaiX platform and reported monthly. Results vary by starting position, competition and how quickly decisions get made.
Four phases.
No mystery.

Build and publish
