How 1840 & Co. Achieved 11% AI Visibility in Remote Staffing

1840 & Co., a remote staffing company, faced the challenge of 0% AI visibility, making them invisible in the AI-generated answers of platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity. This was a significant hurdle against competitors like Toptal and Upwork who dominated the space. To address this, they turned to the vendor Profound and its platform for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO).

Using Profound’s platform, 1840 & Co. discovered the precise content formats that AI engines favored. They implemented these insights by publishing a single, strategically optimized blog post with clear headings and direct brand placement. As a result, their AI visibility jumped from 0% to 11% within one month, making them a top-five cited brand in remote staffing and proving the rapid effectiveness of Profound's solution.
