FAQ

Common questions

What is Skilift?

Skilift is expert-led, AI-powered growth marketing that gets your brand cited in AI search. We audit your visibility across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, build your content strategy, align on priorities with your team, and execute every asset, with human review on every deliverable. You give direction. We handle the rest.

Who is Skilift for?

Skilift is built for small and mid-sized businesses, local service providers, restaurants, professional practices, agencies, D2C and CPG brands, B2B SaaS, consumer tech, and travel brands that know customers are searching for them on Google and now on ChatGPT and AI Overviews, but don't have the marketing bandwidth or budget to fix it themselves. If you're a business owner wearing the marketing hat yourself, or a small team stretched too thin to keep up with SEO and AEO, this is who we build for.

What is AEO and why does it matter?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It is the practice of structuring your content so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can retrieve, understand, and cite your brand when someone asks a relevant question. Traditional SEO gets you ranked in blue links. AEO gets you cited in AI answers. Both matter now, and the brands building for both will have a compounding advantage as AI search becomes the default for high-intent queries.

How is Skilift different from hiring a content agency or freelancer?

Agencies pitch strategy and charge for it separately from execution. Freelancers require management, miss deadlines, and go dark. Skilift collapses strategy and execution into one motion: we audit your visibility, build the content plan, align with your team on priorities, and produce every asset. Our team handles production throughput. Experienced marketers review everything before it reaches you. And every deliverable is built to perform in AI search by default, not as an afterthought.

What kinds of content do you produce?

We produce the assets your brand needs to compete in search and AI answers: AI visibility audits, webpage audits, technical architecture, blog posts, website copy, landing pages, Google Business Profile optimization, and analytics and reporting. The specific mix is driven by your visibility audit and the strategy we develop together, not by a menu you pick from.

What kinds of audits do you run?

Five audit types: AI Visibility Audits that test exactly how your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, Website Copy Audits, Product Page Audits, Landing Page Audits, and Content and SEO Audits. Each audit includes a scored report, a prioritized action plan, and a strategy session where we align with your team on what to tackle first. Most clients use their audit as the foundation for their first content execution cycle.

Is the quality actually good, or does it feel AI-generated?

Every deliverable goes through expert-led human review before it reaches you. We do not ship raw AI output. Each asset is reviewed, refined, and QA'd against your brand profile and a quality bar set by experienced marketers. Unlimited revisions until you approve. AI-assisted production gives us speed and scale. Human judgment is what makes the work good.

We already use tools like Otterly or Profound to track AI visibility. How does Skilift fit?

Those tools tell you where you are invisible. Skilift produces the content that fixes it. Most teams using visibility monitoring tools are bottlenecked on the content side; they know the gaps but do not have the bandwidth to close them. We are the execution layer: you run the monitoring, we build the content that moves your metrics.

Do you produce visual design, images, or video?

Not yet. Skilift currently produces text-based marketing assets, including blog posts, landing pages, website copy, technical architecture, and the rest of our deliverable range. These drive discovery, conversion, and AI search visibility. Image and video production are on our roadmap.

How much does Skilift cost?

Plans start at $699 per month, scaled to what a growing business needs based on their size, market competition, and marketing goals.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

No. All plans are month to month. Pause, upgrade, or cancel with 30 days notice. Audits are one-time flat-fee purchases with no ongoing commitment.

What do I need to provide to get started?

Your website URL and a 30-minute kickoff call. We build your brand profile, run the audit, and come back with a content strategy and proposed priorities. You review, give direction, and we execute from there. No lengthy onboarding, no content briefs to fill out, no request queue to manage.

Can Skilift replace our in-house marketing team?

For some clients, yes. For others, Skilift works alongside a small in-house team, handling content production and AI visibility execution so internal staff can focus on strategy, partnerships, and channels that require a human presence. Both models work. Skilift is most valuable when your bottleneck is execution: the content that needs to exist to make your brand visible, but nobody has the bandwidth to produce it.

AI search is picking winners now. Be one of them.

The brands getting cited today are building a position that gets harder to displace every week. Skilift finds the gaps, builds the strategy, and executes the content.
