Storytelling built for how people search now

Search is evolving.

We build the strategy and tell the stories that get you found in LLMs and in traditional search engines.

The Storytelling Collab Difference

Search became an answer. Stories are what the answer is made of.

Our Proprietary Process

Reporting, earned media, and video production, combined so the story lands with the people — and the models — that decide who gets named.

iii — What We Mean By AI SEO

AI SEO is not a shortcut.

It is not a gimmick. It is not a prompt hack. And it is certainly not sprinkling keywords across a page and hoping a machine notices.

It is the disciplined work of making your expertise

Easy to extractStructured so a model can lift a clean, quotable passage without guessing what you meant.
Easy to verifySourced, dated, attributed. Every claim traceable to something a person could check.
Hard to ignoreTold the same way across enough independent places that the pattern becomes the answer.

I spent twenty years deciding who got on the air. Nobody ever made it because they asked. They made it because they were easy to quote and impossible to doubt. The machines are running the same test now — they are just running it on everybody, all day, at once.

The whole job is making the model confident enough to say your name.

How the engagement works

iv — The Evidence

This isn’t a hunch. It’s measurable.

Four numbers explain why storytelling and earned media are now the highest-leverage way to be found — and why nobody can simply buy their way past you.

84%Share of AI citations that come from earned media
0.3%Share that comes from paid or advertorial content
38%Drop in clicks caused by Google's AI Overviews
61.7%Citations that never name the brand in the visible answer

Which means the discipline that wins here isn’t technical. It’s editorial.
