Why Rocket55
Rocket55 is built on SXO: Search Experience Optimization a framework that extends optimization beyond Google into every platform where audiences search: AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity), social media (TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn), marketplaces (Amazon, Walmart), and forums. Where other partners specialize in AI search, Rocket55 wraps AI search optimization (which they call AISO) into a broader multi-platform strategy. They also build proprietary technology: Area55 (data warehousing and analytics on Google Cloud/BigQuery), BaseIntel (AI-powered chatbot and search tool for client websites, acquired July 2024), and Agent-C (AI agents for business process automation). Their blog already references Mentionly by name as a tool they use for AI visibility tracking.
Best Fit
Mid-market and growth-stage brands ($10M-$500M revenue) in ecommerce, consumer products, and B2B/industrial who want a single agency partner to manage multiple digital channels, not just AI search in isolation. Ideal for companies whose customers discover products across Google, social, AI, and marketplaces, and who need a partner connecting all of those touchpoints. Rocket55 is the answer for brands who arrive at this directory thinking they need AEO help but actually need a broader digital strategy with AI search as part of it.
