Common questions
How does Lakehouse match AI search specialists to my brief?
Describe what you are trying to win visibility for and where — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or all three. We read that into a structured requirement, search the AI search network against it, and show you who covers it and how closely. Where the requirement is understood but the bench does not answer it, the page tells you that instead of padding the shortlist.
What is the difference between AEO, GEO and SEO?
Classic SEO optimises for a page of ranked links. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) optimises to be the answer an assistant gives, and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) optimises to be cited inside a generated response. In practice they share a technical base — schema markup, structured data, entity and knowledge-graph work, and clean crawlable content — and diverge in how visibility is measured, which is why the specialists in this network are qualified on brand-mention monitoring and attribution as well as on technical SEO.
Which AI search skills are in the network?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and LLM SEO; optimisation for ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews; technical SEO, schema markup, structured data, entity SEO and knowledge graph work; content strategy, RAG optimisation and prompt engineering; brand-mention monitoring, analytics and attribution, digital PR, Python, and B2B SaaS marketing.
Do you cover contract as well as permanent hires?
Both, through the same network. Some briefs need a specialist for one implementation and some need the person who builds the practice behind it, and the shortlist is drawn from the same bench either way — tell us which shape you need in the brief.
What does it cost to search?
Nothing. Searching is free and needs no account — no sign-up wall, no credit card, and you are not added to a sequence for running a search. A fee applies only if you go on to hire someone Sloane introduces, and it is agreed with you before any introduction is made.
Why are the profiles anonymized?
Most of the specialists in the network are employed and are not publicly looking; they talk to us long before they are on the market. Anonymized profiles let you judge real, specific experience without putting anyone's current role at risk. Before any introduction, Sloane confirms the specialist is genuinely interested and a fit for the brief — so the conversation you get is worth having.
Is Lakehouse affiliated with OpenAI, Perplexity or Google?
No. Lakehouse is an independent talent network operated by Sloane Staffing. ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews are named here only to describe the platforms specialists optimise for; none of those companies endorses, sponsors, or is otherwise connected to this site.
