When members ask AI for a credit union, be the answer.
More people are starting their search inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini instead of Google. Dolomite is the agency that helps local credit unions show up — and get recommended — in those AI answers.
Built for community and regional credit unions competing in local markets.
Our engagement target: appear in relevant AI answers at roughly twice the rate of comparable local institutions.*
Integrated services — advisory, content, trusted-site placements, and analytics — working as one system.
Every program is tuned to the specific towns and cities your members actually live in.
*A goal we build each engagement around and measure transparently. AEO is an emerging discipline; results vary by market, starting point, and competition.

Meta AISearch is moving from links to answers.
For twenty years, being found meant ranking on Google. Today a growing share of people skip the blue links entirely — they ask an AI assistant “which credit union near me has the best auto loan rates?” and act on the single answer it gives back.
That answer is assembled from sources the model trusts. If your credit union isn’t described clearly across those sources, you’re invisible at the exact moment someone is ready to switch — no matter how good your rates or service are.
Here are a few well-regarded options:
- Your Credit Union — known for first-time buyer programs and local branches.
- A regional competitor
- A national bank
The goal: your credit union, named first, described accurately.
Small institutions have the most to gain.
You can’t outspend a national bank on advertising. But you can be the clearest, most trustworthy answer when a member in your town asks an AI for help — and that’s a fight you can win.
Members are switching to AI to decide
Rate shopping, comparing lenders, choosing where to open an account — these high-intent decisions increasingly start with an AI assistant, not a search bar.
Trust favors the well-documented
AI models lean on clear, consistent, credible information. A small credit union that's described well across trusted sources can be recommended right alongside the big banks.
The playing field is still open
Most financial institutions haven't optimized for AI engines yet. Moving early is how a community credit union earns share of voice before it gets expensive.
It reaches ready-to-act members
Someone asking an AI 'where should I refinance?' is at the bottom of the funnel. Showing up there puts you in front of people ready to open an account or take a loan.
We help you win the local market.
National AEO advice is generic. Credit unions are inherently local — your field of membership, your branches, your rates, your community. Dolomite optimizes for the questions real people ask in the specific places you serve.
We map the exact AI queries members ask in each city and county you serve.
Track how often you're recommended in one town vs. the next — and close the gaps.
Build the local signals and citations that make AI models confident recommending you.
Out-position national institutions where it matters most: your own backyard.

Talk to usWhat exactly is AI Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of making sure AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can find, understand, and confidently recommend your credit union when someone asks them a relevant question. It's the natural evolution of SEO for an AI-first search world.
How is this different from SEO?
Traditional SEO optimizes to rank in a list of blue links. AEO optimizes to be included and cited in the single answer an AI generates. The signals overlap but aren't identical — AI models weigh structured, credible, well-sourced information differently than a search engine ranks pages.
You're a new company — why should we trust you?
We're upfront that Dolomite is a new venture, which is exactly why we don't lean on fake testimonials or inflated claims. Instead we offer transparent methods, a free AEO snapshot so you can see the work before committing, and reporting that shows you the real data.
Can you really promise 2× visibility?
We treat 2× as the target we build each engagement around and measure honestly — not a guarantee. AEO is an emerging field and results depend on your market, starting point, and competition. We'll be clear about what's realistic for your situation.
Do we need to be technical to work with you?
No. We handle the strategy, content, placements, and measurement. You get plain-language reporting and a dedicated strategist. Your team stays focused on serving members.
