We make businesses the answer AI recommends.

We combine structured content architecture, entity building, and proprietary methodology to turn your brand into the default answer AI gives your customers.
From Mallorca to the forefront of AI search
SCALEBASE was founded in 2025 in Mallorca, Spain, by Vigo Nordin and Viggo Nyrensten. The idea was born from a simple observation: businesses that ranked well in traditional search were completely invisible to AI. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other answer engines were recommending competitors or giving generic responses, even when a business had the best product or service in its category.
The founders identified Answer Engine Optimization as a critical gap in the market. Through their earlier work with VoiceLabs, they saw firsthand how AI was reshaping the way customers discover, evaluate, and choose businesses. Voice assistants, conversational AI, and generative search were not just trends. They were replacing the ten blue links that had defined digital marketing for two decades.
Rather than waiting for the industry to catch up, they built SCALEBASE and developed The Citation Protocol, a proprietary methodology designed to systematically engineer AI citations for businesses. The goal was clear: make their clients the answer AI recommends. Today, SCALEBASE works with companies across industries, helping them build lasting visibility in a search landscape that is increasingly driven by AI-generated answers rather than traditional rankings.

What makes SCALEBASE different
Data-Driven from Day One
Every strategy begins with rigorous research into how AI models currently answer questions in your space. We do not guess. We measure, benchmark, and build from evidence.
Proprietary Citation Protocol
The Citation Protocol is our proprietary four-phase methodology that systematically engineers AI citations. It is not a checklist. It is a compounding system built from real-world AEO engagements.
AEO-First Focus
While many agencies bolt AI optimization onto existing SEO services, SCALEBASE was built from the ground up for Answer Engine Optimization. AEO is not an add-on for us. It is the core of everything we do.
Measurable Results with Share of Answers
We track Share of Answers: the percentage of relevant AI-generated responses that cite your business. This gives you a clear, quantifiable metric for AI visibility, not vague rankings or impression counts.
