Helping businesses navigate the shift from search results to AI answers.
York Studio is my specialist SEO and AEO practice, research platform, and product company.
01 / Founder
Kristopher York
Founder · SEO & AEO specialist
I am building York Studio around a simple conviction: AI systems are becoming a major layer of commercial discovery, and businesses need practical help understanding and influencing how they appear there.
I work directly across strategy, analysis, research, and product development. That means clients get an accountable specialist—not a hand-off through layers of an agency—and my public research continually sharpens the work.
Work with me02 / York Studio
A specialist business for a new discovery layer.
York Studio helps companies become easier for AI systems to find, understand, cite, and recommend. The work spans AI visibility reviews, AEO strategy, content and evidence improvement, workshops, software, and selective advisory.
Traditional SEO remains an essential foundation. AEO extends the discipline to the answers, sources, entities, and recommendations assembled by AI products—without pretending anyone can guarantee what a probabilistic system will say.
Research is the proof engine.
Original testing and transparent methods are central to the practice because the field is young. They support better commercial decisions; they are not the entirety of York Studio.
03 / Principles
Expertise should be visible in the work.
These standards guide public research, client recommendations, and the products York Studio builds.
Useful before impressive
The work must help a company make a clearer decision, not merely produce an interesting chart.
Evidence over certainty
Observations, limitations, and unknowns stay visible—especially when the category rewards confident claims.
Strategy before tactics
Content changes belong inside a coherent view of audience, authority, entities, technical foundations, and commercial goals.
Build in public
Tests, lessons, and corrections are shared so the field and the practice improve together.
04 / The direction
Advice today. Intelligence and products that scale tomorrow.
Founder-led advisory creates close contact with real business problems. Public insight earns trust. Research tests the assumptions. Software and data turn the strongest methods into repeatable value.
Together, those parts make York Studio more useful than a publication and more accountable than a black-box tool.
