For helping professionals, creatives, and the agencies that serve them.

People are asking

  • “somatic therapist for burnout near me”
  • “who teaches music marketing for independent artists”
  • “group practice for teen anxiety in Denver”
  • “best book on grief for clinicians”
  • “PR agency for indie musicians”
  • “couples therapist who understands ADHD”
  • “speaker on creativity and mental health”

Nº 01 · The gap

You did the work. The infrastructure is what's missing.

Most of the people we work with are remarkable at what they do. They have built real expertise, earned real trust, and created work that matters. What they have not built yet is the digital infrastructure that lets AI systems recognize that authority and cite it.

They were busy doing the work. Closing that gap is what Loica Strategy is for.

Nº 02 · The question

When someone asks an AI about the help you offer, does your name come up?

AI tools answer from what they can find, read, and trust. When your expertise is structured for them, you become part of the answer. When it isn't, the answer goes to someone else, or to no one in particular.

Switch between the two answers to see the difference.

Something else on your mind? Write to me at hp@loicastrategy.com

What is AEO, or answer engine optimization?

Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of making your expertise easy for AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI answers to find, understand, and cite. It covers how your content is structured, how consistently the web describes you, and whether AI systems can read your website at all.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO works to rank your pages in a list of search results. AEO works to make you the source an AI tool quotes or recommends when someone asks a question. Good SEO still matters and the two overlap, but AEO also depends on entity clarity, answer-shaped content, and what the rest of the web says about you.

How do I get my therapy practice recommended by ChatGPT?

You get a therapy practice recommended by ChatGPT by making it easy to recognize and easy to trust. Describe who you are and who you serve the same way across your website and directory listings, publish content that answers your clients' real questions directly, and earn mentions from sources AI tools already rely on. There is no single switch to flip.

What does an AI visibility audit include?

An AI visibility audit from Loica Strategy reviews where you stand across all six pillars of the Visibility Ecosystem, including how AI tools describe you today. You get a prioritized checklist of what to fix first, so your time and budget go to the changes that matter most. Audits start at $800.

Does Loica Strategy work with agencies and group practices?

Yes. Loica Strategy works with marketing, PR, music, and wellness-adjacent agencies, and with group therapy and healthcare practices. We help the agency or practice itself get found, and recommended by AI tools, to the people it gets great results for.

Can I use AI to write my website content?

You can use AI for research, outlines, and summarizing work you have already written. Handing it your voice is where it goes wrong. What comes back is fluent, competent, and addressed to no one. For helping professionals, whose whole offer is that a real person is paying attention, that costs more than it saves.

Nº 09 · The name

Why a loica?

The loica is a meadowlark of the open grasslands of Chile and Argentina. The male's throat and breast are a vivid red, the same red you see in our logo. It is unmistakable and can be seen from hundreds of yards away.

A loica sings from a perch, not from the ground. It looks for a fence post, a rock, or the top of a shrub, somewhere it can be seen and heard across the field.

Your expertise is the song. We build the perch.

That perch is the structure that lets the people looking for you, and the AI tools they ask, find you and hear you clearly. In our logo, the loica rises past the edge of its frame on purpose. Real expertise doesn't stay inside a template, and your online presence shouldn't ask it to.

Come find us when you are ready to do this right.

Tell us a little about your practice or your work. We'll start with a no-pressure conversation about where you stand today.
