AirOps

The Solution & Approach

AirOps sells the action side of AEO/GEO. Agents run long-form blog, refresh, case study, and research workflows against a customer's brand guidelines and site structure, then publish back through native integrations across seven CMS platforms and four project management tools. Page360, launched January 2026, merged AI search citations, Google Search Console, and GA4 into one page-level performance view. Quill, launched May 2026 at AirOps Next in New York, packaged prompt mining, measurement, and brand context into a single buyer-side agent that CEO Alex Halliday described as "your AI agent captain to win AI search."

The company pairs that with placement. AirOps Offsite scores publishers by their influence on AI answers and targets brand mentions on the sites models trust. Its own research is the argument for why measurement and placement sit in one company: 85% of brand mentions originate on third-party domains, and of 548,534 pages ChatGPT retrieved across 15,000 prompts, only 15% made it into an answer.

AirOps also pushes a category POV. It has been naming the "Content Engineer" role and building the AirOps Champions community around it, and its research line now argues against the sufficiency of a single AI search visibility score. The August 2026 study ran 50 enterprise software companies past Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor twice, once asking for a recommendation and once asking for the clearest path to implementation, and the winner changed in 232 of 449 matched comparisons. Worth noting that a finding that one score is insufficient also sells the second one.

Company, Financials & Funding History

Founded in San Francisco in early 2022 by Alex Halliday (CEO, previously Teespring, MasterClass, and Bungalow), Matt Hammel (COO, ex-Bungalow), and Berna Gonzalez (CTO, who built the core AI workflow engine), with private beta launching late 2022. The original product helped non-technical employees access company data, pivoted to LLM workflows after GPT-3 and GPT-4, then narrowed onto marketing content as marketers became the dominant user. Christy Roach joined as CMO in early 2026 from AssemblyAI, and the company opened its first UK office in Shoreditch in April 2026.
