The company I work for, a large international organisation in the employment screening space, used Ardent for a recent PR campaign for our new platform launch.

We had a fantastic experience with these guys. They were very helpful the whole way through the process, their work was top notch, very high quality, and they delivered beyond my expectations.

They also got us a couple of good stories out of it! So not only was their work good, but they delivered on results as well.

Happy to recommend Ardent to anyone looking for a quality PR agency.

P.s. Big shout out to our Ardent Account Director Shannon who really did a fantastic job 🙂

Working with the Ardent team at Catholic Healthcare has been one of the most successful partnerships in my career. What started as a Digital Agency relationship expanded to full service, including communications strategy, media planning/buying
/implementation, creative development (across TV/Video, OOH, Print, Radio and Digital/Social) comprehensive tracking and measurement, GA>GA4 transitioning, website landing page development and SEO/CRO solutions.
All of that translated to sustained growth over the past 18 months across our three business units and employee recruitment. Targets were met, CPA’s were reduced and brand awareness grew. My sincere complements to Danny, Dom and Jorge.

Since partnering with Ardent, we have been delighted with the momentum we are seeing across sales and marketing at Whiddon. The team are bright, hands-on, collaborative, hard-working and have transformed our marketing program. They took the time to really understand us, our audiences, and the services we provide for older Australians. Ardent got on at the ground-level with us to build our marketing strategy, assets, campaigns and reporting, and we have seen this integration positively impact all channels. We really feel that Ardent is an extension of our own team – a full-service agency who work seamlessly together to produce great results and positive working relationships.

Our AI Search Optimisation Process

1
AI Visibility Audit
We map how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity & other LLM’s currently perceive your brand. We audit your entity authority, competitor citations, and any knowledge gaps or hallucinations holding back your visibility.
2
Technical Foundation
We configure your site for machine readability. This includes managing AI crawler access, implementing advanced structured data, and restructuring content architecture so language models can easily extract your pages as definitive answers.
3
Information Gain & Content Strategy
AI models summarise consensus, but they cite unique value. We craft content with proprietary insights and direct-answer formatting designed to make your brand the primary source models rely on.
4
Off-Page & Entity Signals
Because AI looks beyond your domain, we build third-party consensus. Through targeted digital PR, unlinked brand mentions, and review ecosystem optimisation, we strengthen the authority signals AI engines trust.
5
Share of Model Reporting
Traditional rank tracking isn’t enough. We monitor your brand’s actual citation frequency, AI Overview presence, and share of model against competitors across generative search platforms.
