We operate differently

Most agencies treat Answer Engine Optimisation like a version of SEO, similar to calling a rocket a faster car. We see Answer Engine Optimisation as transformative.

We are Answer Engine Optimisation native

While many agencies rebrand old SEO tactics, indexLab was built entirely around Answer Engine Optimisation. As AI search becomes the norm, brands focusing on AI visibility will surpass those relying only on classic SEO.

Most agencies tie clients to pricey retainers. At indexLab, we deliver stronger and quicker results through targeted one time projects instead of long commitments.

No expensive retainers

We have proven results

We have helped clients move from no AI presence to top positions on ChatGPT and Gemini, generating real conversions. Explore our published case studies to see what Answer Engine Optimisation can achieve.

Businesses love working with us.
But don't take our word for it, take theirs!
