Perplexity AI Consulting Services for the Enterprise — EPC Group

What EPC Group Delivers with Perplexity

EPC Group is a Microsoft Solutions Partner Founded in 1997 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 monitors how often AI assistants cite the firm in Microsoft-consulting research.
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 AI-visibility monitoring of U.S. Microsoft consulting) and now delivers the same practice as a service for clients.
