Partner with Embarque, Your Specialized Perplexity SEO Agency

Because your customers are already using Perplexity whether you're tracking it or not. Perplexity handles over 100 million searches weekly, nearly half a billion monthly searches from people asking detailed, high-intent questions.

These aren't casual browsers. They're serious researchers who want instant, accurate answers with citations. The platform is growing 40% monthly, which means waiting to optimize is leaving money on the table. Here's the thing about early adoption. Right now, most businesses don't optimize for Perplexity.

That creates massive opportunity for brands who understand where search behavior is heading. Google still matters, absolutely. But Perplexity represents a different type of search intent. People using Perplexity are asking longer, more specific questions because they expect comprehensive, cited answers instead of sifting through ten blue links.

If someone searches "best project management software for remote teams with time tracking and budget management," that's a buying signal, not research curiosity. When Perplexity cites your brand in that answer, you're getting pre-qualified traffic from users who already view you as credible because Perplexity vouched for you. Some businesses have seen traffic jump from zero to 87,000 visitors within days of Perplexity optimization. That's not hype, that's documented results from understanding how the platform works.

To earn citations, your content needs to meet three key criteria:
‍
- Clarity: Simple, well-structured answers that directly address user intent.
- Credibility: External validation through authoritative backlinks and references.
- Contextual depth: Supporting data, stats, or insights that Perplexity can reference to enrich its responses.

Perplexity doesn’t rely on keyword matching or backlinks alone; it prioritizes contextual understanding, accuracy, and credibility. The AI determines which sources to cite based on relevance, factual precision, and authority. That means your content must be semantically rich, verifiable, and clearly structured for machine comprehension.

We implement monitoring systems using reliable third-party tools that track when Perplexity features your brand, the specific queries that triggered citations, your positioning among sources, and resulting traffic. This data shows exactly how Perplexity users discover you and guides our optimization for more featured appearances.

That's exactly the problem we solve. If competitors appear in ChatGPT but you don't, they're capturing traffic you're missing. We reverse-engineer why ChatGPT cites them, identify gaps in your optimization, and implement specific fixes. Most businesses can start getting citations within 60-90 days.

Most clients see initial citations within 60-90 days as we build authority and optimize content. Perplexity updates its source database regularly, so properly optimized content appears relatively quickly compared to traditional SEO timelines.
