It helps established organizations become easier for AI systems to understand, retrieve, accurately represent, and reference throughout AI-assisted research and buying journeys. The systems THRUM evaluates include ChatGPT, Google's AI Mode and Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude, plus the search and crawl infrastructure that feeds them. THRUM was established in 2025 by: - Scott Cook — Director - Ash Warren — Lead Developer - Jeff Black — Client Relations The three are the partners behind Righteous Creative (https://righteouscreative.com/). THRUM is a specialist company focused on AI-mediated understanding, representation, and discovery. Slogan: Be accurately understood in the age of AI. ## What THRUM does not claim THRUM does not control third-party AI systems. It cannot guarantee citations, rankings, recommendations, or inclusion in generated answers. The work improves editorial, structural, technical, and authority signals that can increase an organization's eligibility, clarity, and visibility. ## Definitions **AI visibility** — How often, and how accurately, AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI results understand, mention, and represent an organization when people research its category. It spans representation accuracy, retrievability, and eligibility for reference or recommendation. https://thrumagency.com/#faq-ai-visibility **Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)** — The practice of making an organization understandable, retrievable, and eligible for accurate representation inside AI-generated answers — in assistants, answer engines, and AI-assisted search. It overlaps with Generative Engine Optimization. THRUM's work covers both. https://thrumagency.com/#faq-aeo **Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)** — The practice of structuring content, entities, and technical signals so generative AI systems can understand, retrieve, and reference a site when composing answers. It extends search optimization's foundations to the answer layer. https://thrumagency.com/#faq-geo **How this differs from SEO** — SEO optimizes for ranked links on a results page. This work optimizes for accurate machine understanding: semantic structure, entity consistency, structured data, and authority signals that make content eligible for retrieval and reference inside AI-generated answers. Good SEO remains a foundation — it is no longer the whole job. https://thrumagency.com/#faq-seo ## Services Prices are in USD.
