Our Story

Built on two decades of
Editorial, SEO And PR Expertise

Reputable is a specialist GEO and AEO consultancy founded by two of consumer tech publishing's most experienced voices.

Why We Built This

The gap between AI reputation and brand reality is growing fast

We spent decades at the top of consumer technology publishing — writing, editing, and shaping the articles that now sit in the training data of AI models. We've watched, up close, how AI platforms decide what to say about a brand. And we've seen brands get it badly wrong.

The problem isn't just technical. It's editorial. AI platforms don't just crawl your website. They synthesise opinion from thousands of sources — reviews, forum discussions, media coverage, social content — and form a composite view of your brand that can be deeply unfair, inaccurate, or simply invisible.

Traditional SEO agencies can't solve this. They don't understand how editorial content is weighted by AI, or which outlets actually move the needle. We do. Reputable was founded specifically to bridge that gap: bringing real editorial expertise to the emerging science of Generative Engine Optimisation.

We're not a data dump. We're a consultancy. Every report we produce is informed by the same editorial judgement we've applied throughout our careers — we tell you what matters, why it matters, and precisely what to do about it.

What Makes Us Different

Not a tool. A consultancy.

✍️

Editorial expertise, not just data

We don't just pull numbers — we interpret them through an editorial lens honed over decades in publishing. We know which sources matter to AI and which ones don't.

🎯

Actionable, not academic

Every report ends with a clear, prioritised action plan. We tell you exactly what to create, fix, or pursue — not just what the data says.

🔬

Proprietary methodology

Our CASS scoring framework is purpose-built for AI sentiment analysis. It goes far beyond basic positive/negative scoring to capture nuance, authority, and competitive context.

🤝

Built for PR & brand teams

Our deliverables are designed to be immediately useful to the people who need them — PR directors, brand managers, and CMOs — not just SEO specialists.

📡

Multi-platform coverage

We monitor ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more — giving you a complete view of how different AI platforms are representing your brand differently.

🔄

Ongoing intelligence

AI models update constantly. Our tracking packages provide regular snapshots so you can measure the impact of your activity over time and stay ahead of the curve.

What We Stand For

Our principles

01

Clarity over complexity

The AI landscape is confusing enough. We translate data into plain, actionable guidance that anyone in a brand team can use.

02

Honesty over flattery

We tell brands what's actually happening — not what they want to hear. Accurate diagnosis is the only path to real improvement.

03

Editorial rigour

Every report is reviewed with the same editorial standards we applied in our publishing careers. No noise, no padding — just the insight that matters.

04

Partnership, not product

We work alongside brand and PR teams, not just hand over a report and disappear. Our goal is your long-term AI visibility improvement.
