REDEFINING SEO FOR THE AI ERA
Getting Brand Optimisation right makes the difference between showing up and standing out.

Modern search has moved beyond keywords and backlinks.

Brand Optimisation is our evolution of SEO and Digital PR, an AI-first approach designed to ensure your brand is surfaced, understood and remembered across every searchable platform, from Google and TikTok to ChatGPT and Reddit.

It combines the technical precision that keeps your site performing with the storytelling and authority of digital PR, reinforced by entity optimisation and social intelligence. The result is a future-proofed strategy that doesn’t just follow the shifts in search but defines them, giving your brand lasting visibility, credibility and cultural weight in an unpredictable landscape.

THE ANSWERS
How does Brand Optimisation differ from traditional SEO?

SEO focuses on improving a site’s rankings within search engines. Brand Optimisation includes SEO but expands into entity shaping, AI search readiness, digital PR, video and community strategies to ensure your brand is visible and trusted everywhere people and machines look.

Do I still need backlinks?

Yes – but quality and relevance are crucial. AI models and GPT‑indexed search results prioritise authoritative mentions over bulk link‑buying. Our digital PR and thought‑leadership campaigns secure coverage that passes genuine authority.

Why invest in YouTube, Reddit and Instagram?

Google increasingly surfaces video and social results on the first page, and YouTube is the world’s second‑largest search engine. Reddit conversations often rank highly, and Instagram posts are beginning to appear in search results. A robust multimodal strategy ensures you capture attention across formats.

How does Brand Optimisation measure success?

We look beyond rankings. KPIs include AI‑search visibility, entity sentiment, brand share of voice, organic traffic, engagement across social platforms, earned media coverage and ultimately revenue growth. Transparent reporting and real‑time dashboards keep stakeholders informed.

What is Brand Optimisation?

Brand Optimisation is Found’s evolution of SEO and Digital PR, ensuring your brand is visible, understood and trusted across every platform where people and AI search.

Why is Brand Optimisation important in an AI-first world?

Because customer journeys now span Google, TikTok, ChatGPT, Reddit and beyond. Without optimisation, your brand risks invisibility. With it, you lead.

CMOs, brand leaders and growth-focused businesses that want to be discoverable, credible and competitive in an AI-driven search world.
