Perplexity AI Consulting Services for the Enterprise — EPC Group

What EPC Group Delivers with Perplexity

EPC Group is a 29-year Microsoft Solutions Partner with a senior-architect AI consulting practice that has tracked Perplexity since early access. The Perplexity practice sits inside the broader AI consulting and AI governance offering, and includes the firm's differentiated AEO/GEO practice — the brand-side work to ensure the enterprise surfaces in Perplexity (and ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini) answers when buyers ask vendor-selection questions.

Perplexity Practice — Three Service Pillars

1. Perplexity Enterprise Pro rollout. Tenant deployment for the research workforce — Microsoft Entra SSO, data-isolation posture, Perplexity Spaces for curated enterprise sources, change management, and adoption programs.
2. AEO / GEO brand visibility. Structured data (JSON-LD Service / Article / FAQPage / Organization schema), AIAnswerBlock content blocks for citation-quality answers, llms.txt design, semantic hub-and-spoke internal linking, and brand-monitoring dashboards tracking share-of-voice across Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude. EPC Group ranks #1 in the SEMrush AI Brand Performance Index for U.S. Microsoft consulting.
3. Perplexity API integration with Microsoft 365. Calling Perplexity from Power Automate, Azure Functions, SharePoint solutions, and Teams custom messaging extensions — for use cases where real-time-retrieval-grounded reasoning beats a tenant-anchored model.

Why AEO/GEO Matters

Buyer behavior has shifted. CIOs and Chief AI Officers ask vendor-selection questions in Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, and Gemini before they ever land on a vendor website. The enterprise that surfaces in those answers wins the early-stage consideration. Traditional SEO does not get the brand cited by an AI answer engine — that requires structured data, citation-quality content, semantic linking, and reputation signals the AI engines actually consume. EPC Group built the AEO practice to deliver that visibility for the firm itself (ranking #1 in the SEMrush AI Brand Performance Index for U.S. Microsoft consulting) and now delivers the same practice as a service for clients.
