AI Search Intelligence — 2026

Your Content Is Being Extracted.

We Identify the Exposure. We Architect the Defense.

AI models are extracting your educational content, comparison pages, and knowledge assets to answer your customers’ questions directly on the search results page. The traffic does not bounce. It never arrives.

Vellum Strategic Advisory is an AI search intelligence practice for PropTech operators. We diagnose exactly what is being extracted, measure the revenue exposure, and build the architectural layer that forces AI systems to cite you as the source—not just consume your data.
