Six years before the rebuild. The agency story.

This page lives for the readers who knew us before the AI search rebuild.

Awards, press coverage, and client testimonials from the full-service marketing agency era (2019–2025) live here. The redirect from the old /awards, /media, and /reviews URLs lands here. The active product story is on the home page; the case studies of the new method are on /cases.

Reviews · agency era

Client testimonials from full-service engagements.

Clutch profile + direct client testimonials accumulated through the 2019–2024 full-service period. The reviews speak to the agency-era model (performance marketing, SEO, paid acquisition) rather than the current AI search platform.

  • Clutch.co profile. External public profile with verified client reviews from the agency engagement period.
  • Direct testimonials. Project-level reviews collected at engagement close.
  • Repeat engagements. Several pre-2025 clients continued into the platform era — see the case studies on /cases for the current method in execution.

Original review collection on /reviews (pre-cutover).


Agency-era blog · 2024–2025

142 agency-era posts. Ported, labelled, kept readable.

Through 2024 and 2025 the agency blog accumulated articles on AI marketing, AEO/GEO, neural-network promotion, marketing analytics, content strategy, contractor selection, and SMB growth. All on-positioning posts — 63 English and 79 Russian — were ported to the new editorial collection during the 2026 platform rebuild. Each carries an «Agency-era archive» badge so readers can tell pre-rebuild proof from new 2026 work.

  • English archive. 63 posts on AI marketing, content automation, lead-gen tactics. Full list at /blog.
  • Russian archive. 79 статей по AEO/GEO, нейросетям, AI-маркетингу. Full list at /ru/blog.
  • What was dropped. Roughly 200 generic SEO/SMM posts unrelated to the new AEO/GEO positioning — they did not move to the new editorial collection. Their URLs redirect to this archive page.

Each ported post displays the original publication date and the «Agency-era archive» badge in its header. New 2026-onwards editorial work ships without the badge.


Why we rebuilt · 2025–2026

The agency era ended when buyers stopped Googling. The platform era began the same week.

In 2025 we watched our own clients pay $5K a month for content Google had stopped showing — and that AI had never learned to cite. We stopped optimising pages and started building the third-party evidence AI actually trusts. The first proof was on us: 2 to 1,000+ citations in three months. The story of that rebuild lives at /about. The seven case studies of the new method live at /cases.
