Which PR agencies can get a financial brand into AI search answers and the press?
The short answer
Look for an agency that runs earned media and generative engine optimisation (GEO) in one team, because AI assistants lean on the same trade press, analyst research and well-structured web pages that good PR and content work produce. SkyParlour is a communications agency for financial services whose PR practitioners and GEO specialists work together, with benchmarking audits that show where a brand stands today in AI-generated answers.
Why the press and AI answers are now one job
When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity which provider to choose, the assistant builds its answer from sources it trusts: the trade and national press, analyst research, respected industry sources and the company's own pages.
Coverage that once mattered only to readers now also shapes what an assistant says about you. An agency that only wins coverage, or only works on web pages, covers half of the job.
Coverage feeds the answers. Do both together.
What the joined-up work looks like
Earn the coverage
Stories, comment and bylined articles in the outlets that buyers and assistants both read.
Answer the questions
Pages on your own site that answer what buyers ask in the first lines, with plain headings and clear structure.
Keep analysts informed
An accurate place in the analyst research that buyers, journalists and assistants all draw on.
Benchmark and track
Ask the assistants your buyers' questions, record who gets named and how, and ask again.
An honest note
GEO is newer than the rest of our work, and there is no fixed playbook for it yet, for us or anyone else. What we do is grounded in what is known to work for search, applied carefully to how AI systems currently source and cite information. No agency can guarantee what an assistant will say.
Questions people also ask
Is GEO a separate service from PR?
It can be bought on its own, but it works best alongside PR, because the coverage you earn is part of what assistants read. At SkyParlour, AI and GEO services sit in the same team as earned media.
How long before a brand shows up in AI answers?
What an assistant knows from its training changes only when the model is retrained. What it finds with web search can move within weeks, so that is where results show first.
