Why us
Why businesses here and in the US hire an AI-native Philippine studio
We build AI software, not just prompts
Most AI marketing agencies subscribe to the same tools you can. We are a software studio that ships production AI agents — intake assistants handling 70% of inquiries for a clinic, a dental front-desk AI deflecting 75% of calls, document AI cutting legal review time 65%. That engineering depth is what your marketing automation runs on.
Published pricing, fixed quotes
Most agencies hide pricing until a discovery call. Ours is on the pricing page: retainers from ₱45,000/month (~$800), creative sprints ₱45,000–₱80,000 ($1,200–$2,200), audits from ₱75,000 (~$1,300). You get a fixed written quote before committing — no mystery.
Local in the Philippines, overnight for the US
For Philippine clients we are in your timezone, with in-person sessions possible around Cavite and Metro Manila. For US clients, Manila is 12 hours ahead of Eastern time: brief us in your afternoon and the work is waiting when you wake up, with overlap hours held for US-morning calls.
Optimized for AI search, not just Google
We practice what we sell: answer-first content blocks, structured data, AI-crawler-friendly infrastructure, and llms.txt on our own site. Your buyers are asking ChatGPT for recommendations — we work to make sure you are the answer.
No lock-in, thesis first
Every engagement starts with a two-week audit and a written marketing thesis, so you see the plan before the spend. Month-to-month after the first quarter; you keep everything we build.
Shipping since 2017
Seventy-plus products shipped across the Philippines, US, Australia, Europe, and Hong Kong — marketing and software under one roof, so the funnel and the product it feeds are never someone else's problem.

FAQ
Common questions about hiring an AI marketing agency.

What is an AI marketing agency?
An AI marketing agency uses AI across the whole marketing engine — research, content production, ad creative, chatbots, automation, and reporting — while optimizing your brand to be found inside AI answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), not just traditional Google results. The difference from a traditional agency is both the tooling and the target: AI-assisted execution, and AI search as a first-class distribution channel.
How much does an AI marketing agency cost?
Published industry surveys put boutique AI SEO/GEO retainers in the US at roughly $2,000–$5,000 per month and mid-market retainers at $5,000–$15,000, before media spend — and most agencies hide their pricing until a sales call. We publish ours: marketing retainers start at ₱45,000/month (about $800) and typically run ₱45,000–₱150,000/month ($800–$2,700) depending on scope, media spend separate. A fixed written quote comes before any commitment, and engagements are month-to-month after an initial three-month term.
Do you work with Philippine businesses too?
Yes — the Philippines is home. We are based in Silang, Cavite, and run marketing for businesses across Cavite, Metro Manila, and the rest of the country, with in-person sessions possible around Cavite and Manila. Philippine clients get the same AI-native playbook — AEO/GEO, SEO, content, automation — priced in pesos with no currency markup.
What is an AI visibility audit?
An AI visibility audit answers one question: when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for a business like yours, do you appear — and if not, who does? We check how each engine describes you versus your competitors, trace which sources they draw from (your site, directories, reviews, press), and deliver a written gap report with a prioritized 90-day fix roadmap. It is the standard first step of every marketing engagement with us.
What are AEO and GEO, and why do they matter?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are the practice of getting your business cited and recommended inside AI answers — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. A growing share of buying research now ends in an AI answer instead of ten blue links, so being absent from those answers means being absent from the shortlist. We optimize for classic SEO and AI answers at the same time.
How do you get a business cited by ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?
The levers with real evidence behind them: answer-first content that resolves the question in the first paragraph, original data and specific numbers worth quoting, visible freshness (updated dates that are actually true), clean structured data, and third-party corroboration — reviews, directories, Reddit, and press that mention you independently. We implement the on-site half directly and build the off-site half with you month by month.
Can an agency in the Philippines really run marketing for a US business?
Yes — we have served US, Australian, European, and Hong Kong clients remotely since 2017. English is the working language of Philippine business, our processes are async-first with overlap hours for US mornings, and the 12-hour offset means work you brief in your afternoon is on your desk the next morning. What we do not do is pretend to be local: we are transparent about being a Philippine studio, which is also why our pricing undercuts comparable US retainers.
Do you just use AI to mass-produce content?
No. Google's scaled-content policies explicitly target unreviewed AI content farms, and sites doing that have lost 50–80% of their traffic. We use AI for research, drafts, and iteration speed, then a human edits every deliverable, adds first-hand specifics, and puts a named author on it. AI is the accelerant, not the author of record.
What does an engagement include?
A two-week audit and written marketing thesis first — channels, funnel gaps, AI-visibility baseline (whether AI engines mention you today, and who they recommend instead). Then execution: SEO and AEO/GEO foundations, content operations, ads when the funnel can catch them, automation, and a monthly report tied to pipeline rather than vanity metrics.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No lock-in. Engagements are month-to-month after an initial three-month commitment (strategy needs at least a quarter to compound), and you can end with 30 days notice after that.
