AI SEO services for brands that want to rank and be named
Plate Lunch Collective is an AI SEO agency that gets brands named when buyers ask, in search, on social, and in AI. Our AI SEO services start with SEO. We build the pages and fix the site so people find you on Google. On top of that, we get your name into AI answers and in front of the people searching TikTok, YouTube and Reddit. Six ongoing services, the AI Search Game Plan if you'd like a plan first, and two kinds of strategic counsel, all run as one ongoing partnership. Ongoing work starts at $1,500 a month. Every quarter we report your business numbers against the starting point we record when we begin, with a monthly check of what AI says about you along the way.
Seven services, one practice
Each one is part of the same job: getting Google to find and show your business, and getting your brand named when people ask an AI assistant what to buy or who to call.
- AI SEO / GEO
AI SEO / GEO
The SEO that ranks you on Google, and the AI search work built on it that gets your brand named by AI assistants. The practice the rest of this list belongs to.
- Answer Engine Optimization
Answer Engine Optimization
Pages that give the plain answer to the questions your buyers ask, so yours is the answer Google's answer boxes and AI replies can pick.
- Entity SEO
Entity SEO
One name, one address and one set of services wherever people and AI look you up, so nobody has to guess which business you are.
- Social Search Optimization
Social Search Optimization
Your accounts on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit set up so the people searching there find you, and so what they see matches your website.
- Citation-Ready Content
Citation-Ready Content
Pages where each section answers one buyer question with specifics and sources, the kind of answer AI quotes and credits to you by name.
- Agent Readiness
Agent Readiness
When an AI agent books, buys or asks for a quote for someone, we test whether it can find your prices, hours and policies and get the job done with you. Then we write the plan your developers build from.
- AI Search Game Plan
AI Search Game Plan
From $1,500, in ten business days: where you stand in Google and in AI answers, who comes up instead, what you can track today, and what to do first.
Start from the problem, not the menu
Most engagements combine SEO, AI search and social search, with more effort wherever your market needs it. These are the situations that point at one service first.
You don't know what AI says about you
Nobody has checked which searches and AI questions name you, which name a competitor, or where your leads come from. The AI Search Game Plan shows you, from $1,500.
AI Search Game PlanYour details disagree across the web
Your name, address, category or hours say one thing on your website and another on Google and in the directories, and AI can't tell which version is right.
Entity SEOYour expertise is real and unquotable
The know-how is in the business, but no page answers your buyers' questions clearly enough for ChatGPT or Google's AI to quote you.
Citation-ready contentGoogle answers your category without you
The AI answer at the top of Google quotes someone else's page, and the buyer never reaches yours.
Answer Engine OptimizationYour buyers search TikTok, YouTube and Reddit first
You post for engagement, and the platforms can't tell what you're an authority on.
Social searchAI agents pick a competitor they can work with
An AI agent shopping, booking or getting a quote for a buyer can't find your prices or details, or has no way to connect, so it may go with a business it can act on.
Agent readinessYou rank, and the AI assistants still skip you
You're first on Google, and ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini still name someone else. We run the Google work and the AI work as one program.
AI SEO / GEO

- Fractional CMO

- Social Search Legibility Diagnostic
Social Search Legibility Diagnostic
A social media audit: what TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and Reddit have concluded you are an authority on, whether it's right, and where it helps or hurts.
What the work includes, and how long it takes
Straight answers on the search engine work that still runs under all of it.
What does your SEO work actually include?
The full set of SEO basics, aimed at Google's AI answer as well as its regular results. Technical: we make sure Google, Bing and the AI search tools can reach every page that matters, fix broken redirects and slow pages, and get back the pages Google found and chose to leave out. On-page: we put the words your buyers really type into your page titles, headings and descriptions, and leave the writing alone where it works. Content: service, industry and location pages that say something a competitor would have to do real work to copy. Listings: your Google Business Profile and the directories that matter, with the same name, address and phone everywhere. Authority: outreach for editorial links and mentions from publications, partners, suppliers and associations, plus reports and data pages that earn them without asking.
How long before rankings move, and what do you tell a client who asks?
Technical fixes show up in Search Console in days to weeks. New or rebuilt pages on an established site usually start moving in two to three months, and longer on a new domain. We can't control AI answers, so we judge the work by your calls, bookings and sales against where you started, and ask the buyer questions that matter again each month to see what's changed. Every number you see is marked as something we measured, something we know from how the platforms work, or our best guess. We won't give you a date for page one, and you'll always know where things stand.
How we measure itDo you build links?
Yes. We pitch trade publications, partners, suppliers, associations and local press, the places with a reason to mention the business, and earn the links and mentions they choose to give. To give them that reason, we make things worth pointing to, such as original data, a useful guide, or a page that settles a common buyer question. We never pay for links or use link farms.
Which service should I start with?
If you'd like a first look before anything ongoing, start with the AI Search Game Plan. In ten business days it shows how you come up in Google and in AI answers, which brands your customers hear about instead, and what to do first. If you already know the problem, tell us and we'll say which service it points at. Most engagements combine SEO, AI search and social search from the first cycle, starting with what matters most.
