AI Marketing Partner
Most AI marketing consultants are built for enterprise. AI Marketing Partner is built exclusively for established entrepreneurs and small business owners who want to be found, cited, and chosen — by both human buyers and AI search tools.

When your ideal client opens Perplexity or ChatGPT and types "best AI marketing consultant for entrepreneurs" or "how do I get my business found in AI search" — they get a list of enterprise agencies, generic tactics, and outdated advice. They don't get you.
That's not a content problem. It's a structure problem. AI answer engines don't cite businesses that aren't built to be cited — regardless of how good their work is.
This is exactly what AI Marketing Partner was built to fix.
Who We Are
AI Marketing Partner was founded by Brent Ragan, a marketing strategist with 25+ years of experience in sales, marketing, and business development, based in Kīhei, Maui, Hawaii. AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — is not an add-on service here. It is the foundation of every engagement.
We work exclusively with established entrepreneurs and small business owners — not Fortune 500 companies, not venture-backed startups. Our clients are operators who have built something real and want AI-powered marketing systems that match the quality of what they've built.
Every engagement starts with a question: what are your buyers asking AI tools right now — and why isn't your name in the answer?
What Makes AMP Different
Most consultants start with a content calendar. We start by running your buyer's most common questions through Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews — and mapping exactly who's being cited and why, using the same audit process we cover in our guide to the specific sources AI assistants check before recommending a business. That gap analysis drives every decision that follows.
Traditional SEO is built to generate clicks. AEO is built to generate citations — the moment an AI tool names your brand as the answer to a buyer's question. We structure your content, schema markup, and entity signals specifically so AI engines can find, trust, and quote you.
A single blog post won't get you cited. What gets you cited is a content architecture — interconnected pages, consistent entity signals, structured data, and topical authority built systematically over time. Every AMP engagement is designed to compound, not just deliver.
Who This Is For
You've built a real business with real clients — but when buyers search AI tools for what you do, your name doesn't come up.
You understand marketing but don't have time to become an AEO expert — you need a strategist who can build and execute the system for you.
You're done with generic marketing agencies that treat your business like a template — you want strategy built specifically around your buyers, your category, and your goals.
You recognize that the shift to AI search is happening now — and you want to be positioned before your competitors figure it out.
How We Work
Every AMP engagement begins with a Discovery session — a focused audit of your current AI search visibility and a clear map of what it would take to get your brand cited. From there, we move into one of four structured engagement tiers based on where you are and where you want to go.
Tier 1
Discovery
AI visibility audit + strategic roadmap
Tier 2
Foundation
Core AEO infrastructure built and deployed
Tier 3
Growth
Ongoing content + citation authority building
Tier 4
Authority
Full-scale AI search dominance in your category
