About answer.

We build the default recommendation for ambitious B2B teams.

answer. exists to help innovative B2B brands earn trust with AI assistants. We are an invite-only, founder-led team aligning strategy, data, and creative execution so your category knows exactly who to recommend.

We were founded to solve a visibility gap created by AI.

Buying teams now start with prompts, not search queries. The brands they trust are the ones that show up first in AI-generated conversations. Traditional SEO and paid campaigns no longer close that gap.

answer. combines technical audits, structured data, and crafted narratives to teach AI models why your solution should be the default recommendation.

How answer. came together

While running dofollow.com, we noticed buying behavior shifting from search engines to AI assistants. We built answer. to help teams navigate this new landscape.

2016–Present

Search Mastery

Through dofollow.com, we helped dozens of B2B brands own page one. We learned what makes buyers click, trust, and convert across every stage of the journey.

2024

The Shift

Dofollow clients started asking why they weren't showing up in ChatGPT and Claude. The same buyers using our SEO strategies had quietly moved to AI for research.

2025

A New Chapter

We launched answer. to solve a problem we couldn't ignore: helping great companies show up when AI recommends solutions, not just when buyers search.

What you can expect

We don't guess. We don't chase trends. We build the credibility systems that make your brand impossible to ignore.

Strategic depth, not checkbox tactics

You get focused, high-impact moves that shift perception—not a laundry list of deliverables that look good in a deck but don't move the needle.

Systems that compound, not campaigns that fade

Your visibility grows stronger over time. Every signal we build reinforces the last, creating momentum that competitors can't replicate overnight.

Proof before promises

We make AI and buyers believe you because the evidence is there—verifiable mentions, structured authority signals, and consistent proof across every touchpoint.

Real-time optimization, not set-and-forget

We track how you're showing up weekly and adjust based on what's actually working—not what we hoped would work three months ago.

Work that matches your ambition

Every signal, placement, and narrative is crafted to reflect the caliber of brand you're building. We don't do sloppy, and neither should you.

Honest feedback, even when it stings

If something's not working, you'll hear it from us first. We're here to win, not to tell you what you want to hear.
