Engineering AI Search for Financial Product Discovery and Trust
When Consumers Ask AI 'What's the Best Credit Card?', Is Yours the Answer?
Financial product research has fundamentally changed. When someone asks ChatGPT 'best savings accounts with high APY' or 'which credit card has the best travel rewards,' AI doesn't show a list of links—it makes specific product recommendations. These high-intent queries represent consumers ready to open accounts. If your products aren't being cited, you're losing customers to competitors who are.
We help banks, credit unions, and financial service providers become the products AI recommends. We don't just optimize your website—we engineer the authority signals, product positioning, and trust markers that get your financial products cited when consumers ask AI for recommendations.
