Yandex Alice Optimisation — Russia's Leading AI Assistant
Alice is Yandex's AI assistant powered by YandexGPT, integrated into Yandex Browser, smart devices and search results. For the Russian market — a key AI channel alongside Yandex AI in search.
What's costing you on Yandex Alice right now
Invisible to Russian audience
50M+ Alice users. Without optimisation = missed visibility on Russia's main AI channel.
Missing from voice answers
Voice search via Yandex Station and apps — growing channel. Without optimisation Alice doesn't reply with your data.
Absent from Yandex AI block
Yandex AI shows AI answer at top of SERP (like Google AI Overview). Without FAQPage and E-E-A-T you're not included.
Missing from Yandex.Market AI
Alice integrated in Yandex.Market commercial search. Without right product schema — not recommended to buyers.
Weak local SEO
Alice ties to Yandex local search. Without Yandex.Business work — you lose local AI traffic.

How we get you into Yandex Alice
Platform audit
We measure your current Yandex Alice visibility: mentions per query, citation quality, competitor benchmark. Tools include our custom NEXUS agents for real-time monitoring.
Strategy & roadmap
90-day plan tailored to Yandex Alice's specific algorithm: what content to publish, what authority signals to build, what technical setup is required.
Content & authority work
Citation-ready content production. PR placements in sources the platform trusts. Structured data implementation. Each piece optimised specifically for this platform's preferences.
Measurement & iteration
Weekly mention tracking, citation count, traffic referrals (where the platform provides them). If a tactic underperforms — we pivot fast.
Scaling what works
Once a tactic proves out, we automate it via NEXUS agents and scale across more queries and content types. Manual work doesn't survive long with us.
Quarterly review
Every 90 days: full Yandex Alice strategy review, competitor benchmark update, next-quarter planning. AI platforms evolve fast — strategy must evolve with them.
