What is Search Brand Optimization (SBO)?
SBO is the strategic process of building brand authority and recognition across all search platforms and AI systems. It goes beyond traditional branding to ensure your business is recognized as the trusted expert when customers search for your services, whether through Google, AI assistants, or emerging platforms.
Why do 82% of AI recommendations favor established brands?
AI systems prioritize trust and authority signals when making recommendations. Established brands have more credibility markers like awards, certifications, positive reviews, and authoritative content. AI platforms recognize these signals and recommend brands they perceive as trustworthy and reliable.
How does SBO differ from traditional branding?
Traditional branding focuses on visual identity and messaging. SBO focuses on building authority signals that search engines and AI systems recognize. This includes strategic content creation, authority building, partnership development, and reputation management specifically designed for digital discovery.
What are the key components of SBO?
SBO includes content authority (expert articles and thought leadership), awards and recognition (industry certifications and achievements), strategic partnerships (relationships with respected organizations), and social proof (reviews, testimonials, and case studies). Each component builds credibility that search systems recognize.
How much does SBO cost?
We charge £40/hour with complete flexibility. SBO typically requires 8-20 hours/month (£320-£800) for effective brand authority building, but you control the allocation. You can combine SBO hours with SEO, AEO, and GEO work or focus entirely on brand building. Monthly hours are adjustable based on your goals and budget. Clients with 20+ hours monthly receive our premium bonus package including free Professional Website & AI Authority Funnel (£4,990 value).
How long does it take to build brand authority?
Brand authority building is a long-term strategy, typically taking 6-12 months to see significant results. However, some elements like review optimization and content authority can show improvements within weeks. The key is consistent, strategic effort across all brand touchpoints and search platforms.
