Kanon Agency was founded in 2026 to solve a problem no one else was solving: companies were pouring resources into SEO while AI search quietly replaced the channel underneath them. We help B2B companies become the authoritative answer that AI search engines cite — and make their websites usable by the autonomous agents that are starting to act on behalf of buyers.
We bridge two disciplines that most agencies treat separately or ignore entirely. GEO / AEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets your brand cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. AAIO / AAFO (Agentic AI Optimisation) makes your site structurally usable when an AI agent, not a human, is doing the navigating. Our dual-audit scores both in a single engagement — the only combined measurement on the market.
Yoonil leads audit methodology, tooling, and implementation. He developed Kanon's dual-scoring framework — a proprietary GEO test set across major AI platforms paired with a comprehensive AAFO agent-readiness scan. Before Kanon, he specialized in infrastructure and backend systems. He built the internal scoring tool that underlies every audit Kanon delivers.

She identified the B2B lead generation niche as the highest-leverage entry point for GEO services and shaped the agency's "SEO plus" execution philosophy — grounding generative optimization in proven search fundamentals while building the proprietary framework on top. She drives the prompt engineering research and content strategy that underlies each client engagement.

Generative Engine Optimization / Answer Engine Optimization. AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews generate answers by citing sources. If your brand isn't cited, you're invisible to the buyer — even if your SEO was excellent. GEO (also called AEO) is the discipline of becoming the source AI reaches for.
Will AI mention your brand?
Agentic AI Optimisation / AI Agent Friendly Optimization. Autonomous AI agents — OpenAI Operator, Claude Computer Use, Google Mariner — browse and act on websites on behalf of users. 94.8% of sites have structural failures invisible to humans but fatal to agents. AAIO (our proprietary scoring framework: AAFO) makes your site usable when AI acts for buyers.
Can AI use your website?
| GEO / AEO | AAIO / AAFO | |
|---|---|---|
| Optimizes for | AI search engines that cite content | AI agents that navigate and act |
| Primary outcome | Being cited in AI-generated responses | Agent task completion on your site |
| Key signals | Schema markup, answer-first content, entity authority | Semantic HTML, accessibility tree, llms.txt, WebMCP |
| Example success | Appearing in ChatGPT's answer about your category | Agent Mode booking your service without human help |
| Current agency coverage | Growing — many competitors | Essentially zero dedicated agencies |

We run your domain through a 30-prompt GEO test set across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, and a 17-point AAFO scan via Cloudflare and Google Lighthouse. You receive a GEO Score and an AAFO Score — two numbers that tell you exactly where you stand.
We map every finding to a P1–P4 remediation roadmap ranked by impact per hour of effort. You know what to fix first, second, and third — and what to skip. No generic recommendations. Every item maps to a specific page, file, or component on your site.
We fix it — schema markup, semantic HTML, content restructuring, llms.txt, robots.txt configuration, WebMCP. Then we verify with third-party tools, not proprietary dashboards: Cloudflare isitagentready.com, Google Lighthouse Agentic Browsing, and direct AI platform testing with documented prompts.

Every competitor audits one dimension. We audit both in a single engagement with a single score and a single remediation roadmap. The combined position doesn't have a competitor yet.
GEO tools measure visibility and report on it. They don't implement content changes, deploy schema, restructure HTML, or configure llms.txt. We do the work.
Most agencies measure "AI visibility" with proprietary dashboards clients can't verify. We use Cloudflare isitagentready.com, Google Lighthouse Agentic Browsing, and documented AI prompt testing — tools your team can run independently.
Every client who hires us for GEO is also a candidate for AAFO remediation. The addressable market for AAFO implementation is essentially every website on the internet.

Common questions about GEO, AAFO, and what working with Kanon looks like.
Kanon is an AI visibility agency founded in 2026. We help professional services firms and B2B SaaS companies get cited by AI and make their sites usable by AI agents — through GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and AAIO (Agentic AI Optimisation).
Kanon was founded in 2026, at the moment when AI-generated answers began displacing traditional search results as the primary way people discover brands and services online.
We specialise in two disciplines: GEO — getting your brand cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews; and AAFO (Agentic AI Framework Optimisation) — making your site structurally readable and usable by AI agents. We offer these as a combined dual-score audit in a single engagement.
Our core offering is a combined GEO + AAFO audit: a two-week deep-dive that produces a GEO Score, an AAFO Score, and a prioritized remediation roadmap. Beyond the audit, we implement the fixes — content restructuring, schema deployment, llms.txt configuration, and AI agent readiness testing.
We work with professional services firms and B2B SaaS companies.
GEO is the practice of optimizing a website so AI search engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews — cite your brand in their generated answers. If you're not cited, you're invisible to the buyer even when your SEO was excellent.
AAFO is the practice of making your website usable by autonomous AI agents — OpenAI Operator, Claude Computer Use, Google Mariner. These agents browse and act on websites on behalf of users. 94.8% of sites have structural failures invisible to humans but fatal to agents.
The terms are used interchangeably. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) describes the same discipline — optimizing for AI-generated answers rather than traditional ranked links. We use GEO as the primary term because it more precisely describes generative AI systems.
SEO optimizes for ranked links in Google's index. GEO optimizes for citations inside AI-generated answers. The signals overlap partially — schema markup, clean HTML, authoritative content — but GEO adds entity disambiguation, answer-first content structure, llms.txt configuration, and AI-platform-specific testing.
The audit delivers a GEO Score (0–100) across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, and an AAFO Score (0–100) via Cloudflare and Google Lighthouse Agentic Browsing. You receive a breakdown of every signal checked, a prioritized fix list ranked by impact per hour of effort, and a written action plan. Delivered within 2 weeks.
We run your domain through a 30-prompt test set across all four major AI platforms and measure citation rate, citation position, and brand mention accuracy. The score is a weighted composite — no proprietary black box. You receive the full prompt set and documented results.
We run a 17-point agent-readiness scan covering semantic HTML integrity, accessibility tree quality, llms.txt and robots.txt configuration, WebMCP endpoints, schema markup completeness, and task-completion testing by an actual AI agent. We verify against Cloudflare's isitagentready.com and Google Lighthouse Agentic Browsing — tools you can run yourself.
ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity, Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google). These four platforms account for the majority of AI-generated search traffic in 2026. Enterprise engagements can add additional platforms on request.
Our primary focus is B2B SaaS and professional service firms in lead generation niches. That said, the audit methodology applies to any domain. If you're unsure whether we're a fit, email us at [email protected] and we'll tell you honestly.
Two weeks from kickoff to delivery. We need access to your domain and a 30-minute onboarding call. No logins or CMS access required for the audit phase.
Technical fixes — robots.txt, llms.txt, schema markup, semantic HTML — take 1–2 weeks to implement and 4–8 weeks to be re-indexed by AI platforms. Meaningful improvements in citation rates are typically visible within 60–90 days of implementation.
In our proof-of-concept work, we improved a client site from a GEO-equivalent visibility score of 12 to 79 within one engagement. Results vary based on starting state, content depth, and how aggressively remediation is implemented.
Both options are available. The audit-only engagement delivers the report and roadmap — your team implements. The Foundation package includes full implementation: schema deployment, semantic HTML migration, llms.txt and robots.txt configuration, and answer-first content restructuring. We do the work.
llms.txt is a plain-text file at the root of your domain that tells AI language models what your site is, who you are, and what you do — analogous to what robots.txt does for crawlers. Without it, AI systems may conflate your brand with similarly-named entities or fail to surface your content accurately.
Yes. Google ranking and AI citation are now separate channels. A site can rank #1 organically and appear in zero AI-generated answers, because the signals are different. Structured data, entity clarity, and answer-first content matter far more to AI engines than domain authority alone.
It can be. AI agents cannot execute JavaScript, so client-side-rendered pages are effectively invisible to them. We identify and flag all client-rendered content during the AAFO audit and include a migration plan to server-side or static rendering for affected pages.
Initial audit engagements during our framework-building phase are priced between $1,000 and $1,500. Foundation (implementation) and Monthly Retainer pricing is scoped per project. Email [email protected] for a quote.
Yes. The Monthly Retainer includes a monthly GEO prompt audit across all four AI platforms, continuous schema and content iteration, AAFO regression testing, and third-party verified before/after reporting. Enterprise engagements include MCP server development and full AI traffic analytics.
Yes — by design. We use Cloudflare isitagentready.com, Google Lighthouse Agentic Browsing, and documented AI prompt testing with screenshots. Every tool we use is publicly accessible. You can re-run any test yourself and get the same result.
