The Challenge

What Upsun was up against.

Upsun was a strong technical product in a category dominated by name brands. Developers researching deployment platforms in ChatGPT and Perplexity were almost never seeing them surfaced.

Their existing content read well for engineers but did not match the citation patterns LLMs actually pull from when answering platform comparison questions.

The Approach

How we attacked it.

We ran a 3-month AEO sprint focused entirely on engineering Upsun into the seed sources LLMs cite for DevOps platform questions.

  • Prompt and citation gap analysis across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini
  • Comparison content built to match LLM retrieval patterns
  • Mention engineering across high-authority developer publications
  • Entity disambiguation and structured data for the Upsun brand
  • Weekly AI rank tracking with sprint-level citation reporting
