2. One page, fixed and ready to paste

Page: Answer Engine Optimization Services for B2B Tech

New answer block, for the top of the page

Sproutworth's answer engine optimization service measures whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Grok name your company when buyers ask for a tool in your category, then tells you which page to change first. It starts with a free report. The $3,000 audit runs each buyer question 3 times on all 6 engines and is delivered within 4 hours of payment.

New meta description (148 characters)

Answer engine optimization for funded B2B tech: see which of 6 AI engines name you, free, then get a $3,000 audit with your fix list within 4 hours.

5 internal links to add. Each link goes in a sentence that already exists on the source page, so no rewriting is needed. The highlighted words become the link.

3. 3 sites that link to competitors and not to Sproutworth

Each of these sites already links to 2 or more of Sproutworth's competitors, so a link to Sproutworth would fit their pages.

Site	Links to	Where a link would fit
breakingb2b.com	Omniscient Digital, First Page Sage, Siege Media, Minuttia	"Best AEO Agency: Our Top 11 Picks for 2026". The publisher is itself an agency, so inclusion is a pitch to its editor: Sproutworth's published 6-engine measurement and public prices are the angle.
citedindex.com	Omniscient Digital, First Page Sage, Siege Media, Minuttia	"82 best GEO and AI content optimization tools", a directory with its own submit page (citedindex.com/submit). List Sproutworth's free AI visibility report there.
seocompaniesreviewed.com	Omniscient Digital, First Page Sage, Siege Media, Minuttia	An SEO company review directory with a profile for each of the 4 rivals, each linking to its site. Sproutworth has no profile; ask the site to add one.

4. The change list

Every fix above as steps, so whoever edits the site can apply them on any platform.

On /answer-engine-optimization-services/, put the new answer block directly under the H1, in place of the paragraph that starts "We measure whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews".
Replace the meta description with the new one in Rank Math (Edit page, Rank Math panel, Edit Snippet, Description). On other platforms it sits in the page's SEO settings.
Add the 5 internal links in the table: on each source page, link the highlighted words in the sentence shown to https://www.sproutworth.com/answer-engine-optimization-services/. No sitewide template link points to this page today.
Remove the first H1 on the home page. It repeats the page title ("AI Visibility Audits for B2B Tech Companies | Sproutworth"), so the home page carries 2 H1s.
Bring /about-sproutworth/ in line with the home page. It still describes a content and PR firm, while the home and service pages sell AI visibility audits, so engines reading the about page get a different answer to "what does Sproutworth do".
Treat the 3 off-page prospects as outreach for the marketing team, not as site edits: pitch breakingb2b.com's AEO list, submit to citedindex.com, and request a seocompaniesreviewed.com profile.
