Before AEO:
After AEO:
We worked directly with Runbo (Co-Founder & CEO) and the Magic Hour GTM team to build and execute a broad, comprehensive AEO strategy spanning Reddit, Quora, X, and YouTube paired with AEO-optimized listicles and articles published on high-authority, high-trust websites already ranked and cited by both Google and AI answer engines (DA 60-70+, cross-checked to confirm active AI citation). We executed a scaled AEO plan with a long-term vision (over 500 brand mentions across platforms) identifying the right communities on each UGC forum and placing posts or mentions inside already-active discussions to position Magic Hour as the best AI face swap software among established players in the market. At the same time, we published 10+ AEO-optimized listicles within a single month from high-authority websites, securing Magic Hour the #1 spot in their rankings. As a result, Magic Hour now is the top overall recommendation across Claude, Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Google AI Overviews. And it's not just B2C side, Magic Hour now ranks prominently for AI face swap API queries too, driving enterprise and B2B pipeline from buyers looking for production-ready, scalable, multi-face swap solutions with a robust API.
After deep research into the platform, its strengths, and its ICP, we mapped out the platforms, communities, and websites already discussing topics like "best AI face swap" and "best AI video generation software." We then prepared tailored content for each channel mentioning the Magic Hour brand naturally. This spanned Reddit, Quora, YouTube, X, Threads, Facebook, and high-authority websites already ranking on both traditional search engines and AI answer engines.

We didn't write PR posts or brand-first marketing articles. Now that kind of content doesn't rank on Google or get cited by LLMs. What does rank is customer-led, conversational writing that makes readers genuinely curious about the product and gives AI the right context to pick it up and recommend it. This means writing in the voice of someone who actually uses the tool that feature Magic Hour as a top recommendation alongside other tools in the market, helping buyers decide.
Reddit, Quora, and YouTube are powerful platforms for ranking on AI and Google. However relying on UGC platforms alone isn't a sustainable citation strategy. That's why we paired platform mentions with 5-10 AEO-optimized listicles per cycle published on websites with high domain authority, strong traffic, and established US/European audiences that AI already cites regularly. This combination is what pushed Magic Hour to the top recommendation across AI answer engines.
Pairing brand mentions across Reddit, Quora, and X with optimized listicles on high-authority websites gave Magic Hour rapid, compounding user growth for their AI face swap software. This approach made AEO (alongside traditional SEO) their top acquisition channel. The result: #1 on Google search and the top recommended tool across AI answer engines.
