The work

01The challenge

Visible for one term, invisible for the rest

Pinter ranked in Google for some category terms like "beer brewing machine", but for adjacent categories (kits, taps, dispensers) they were near-invisible, and the gap was worse in AI search. AI models did not connect Pinter to the wider set of categories it sits in, so it rarely got cited: partial SEO visibility, poor GEO visibility, one root cause behind both.

02What we did

Make the brand extractable across categories

We ran keyword and prompt research across the core homebrewing and beer categories, then built a structured Shopify blog template to fix inconsistent output. We built an AI agent to convert written content into approved-template HTML, cutting build time and keeping it consistent at scale.

03The results

Citations multiplied in four weeks

Four weeks from the first content roll-out, Pinter saw a 4x increase in AI citations and led competitors on citation rate. Non-brand organic traffic grew 3x over the same period.
