The shift

B2B Research is changing.
So is visibility.

AI platforms don't simply return links. They select, synthesise and cite information. If your business isn't represented clearly in the sources those systems use, you risk being absent when your next potential buyer is deciding who to trust.

Why Syntact

AEO shouldn't come off the shelf.

Many agencies and SaaS providers offer instant access to AEO data through ready-made diagnostic systems. Syntact takes a different approach: a rigorous, research-driven service built around your business, your area of expertise and the way you manage your web output.

01 — TAILORED

Built around your business.

We analyse your visibility across a wide range of distinct sources, combining analysis from frontier AI systems with human research and interpretation.

We then synthesise those findings into a report built around your business and your specific needs.

02 — CROSS-PLATFORM

The full picture.

Ready-made solutions can tell you what their systems are designed to measure. They don't necessarily capture the full context of your business.

We look across different AI engines and information sources, combine that analysis with our own research, and consult directly with you to make sure we understand the context behind the data.

03 — B2B SPECIALISTS

Built for B2B.

AEO for B2B businesses isn't simply consumer AEO with a different logo. The buying journey, decision-makers and information they rely on are different.

We consider industry requirements, research the authorities and third-party sources that influence your reputation, and analyse your competitors in detail.

04 — INDEPENDENT

We're not a repurposed marketing agency.

AEO isn't about making your website look fancy. And it isn't about telling you to rebrand your business.

Your existing expertise, reputation and identity are valuable. Our job is to make sure AI engines understand them.

We work to maximise your visibility across the AI engines your buyers are using, strengthening the signals that establish your business as a credible option when they're researching suppliers.

We get your business onto the shortlist.
You get on with winning the contract.
