32% of our traffic comes from AI search.
More than 11,618 visits in a single week came from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews citing our work. That's more than 2× the traffic we get from Google search itself.
For context: most marketing agencies report under 5% of their traffic from AI search. We're our own AEO case study.
We get you found.
Then we show you who.
Cite-Met Pulse identifies the companies and people visiting your site, maps what they read, and captures them as booked leads — on infrastructure you own. Analytics counts the traffic. Pulse tells you who it was.
Found. AI search and Google send you qualified traffic. That's the work we already do.
Identified. Pulse resolves the companies and people inside it — anonymous sessions become a named roster.
Captured. Built-in forms and booking turn that roster into calls on your calendar.
Five things every client gets. Always.
When a client signs with Space & Story, these five are what every project ships, not a wish list we hope to get to later.
Your site looks better.
A custom design on a modern stack (TypeScript and React) that scores Lighthouse 90+, instead of a 2019 WordPress template aging in public.
It loads and works for everyone.
It loads in under two seconds on 4G, works mobile-first, and meets accessibility standards. A sticky lead-capture button stays on screen, so visitors don't bounce on a menu that won't open.
You get more pages, kept current.
Programmatic SEO at scale, monthly blog production, and we turn your existing YouTube videos and podcasts into indexable pages.
AI engines can find you.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is built in from day one. That means an llms.txt file, an AI-bot allowlist, FAQ/HowTo/Person schema, and monthly AI-traffic tracking that most competitors still haven't shipped.
The price is always lower.
We quote below whatever your current SEO provider is charging, with a floor of $60 a month for hosting and maintenance, and we never come in above your current spend.
We always quote below what you're paying now.
Rule of the house. Each plan does one job: get found locally, outrank competitors, or become the source AI engines cite when someone asks. Answer-engine optimization (AEO) is in every tier. The floor is $60 a month.

The three questions we hear most.
The other eight live on the full FAQ.
You're not handing your site
to a 30-person agency.
You're working with the studio that ships it.
Space & Story is run by Mahmoud Halat. A decade at Verto Health, where he joined as employee #2 and helped scale the company to 80 while overseeing more than 100 healthcare deployments. He co-authored the patent (WO2025147762A1) on the AI orchestration architecture under that work. The platform he architected ran roughly a quarter of Canada's daily COVID vaccine doses at peak.
In August 2025 he entered Lovable Shipped Season 1, built GiveFeedback.dev solo over six weeks, and won the $100K grand prize against 5,800 global builders. He's published the Agentic Marketing Operating System at mahmoudhalat.com/marketing-os under CC-BY 4.0, with 280+ primary sources. It's the framework Space & Story runs on every engagement, published in the open so prospects can read the methodology before they sign anything.
Mahmoud directs every engagement, with a small team shipping alongside him. He works out of Toronto and handles client calls in English, French, or Arabic. There is no handoff chain between sales and delivery here: the people you meet on the first call are the people who ship your site.
