Paige Sterling – SVP Sales & Marketing at PromptBridge
Paige Sterling is Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at PromptBridge. She brings 12 years of direct experience in SEO, sales strategy, and digital marketing execution for small and medium-sized businesses.
Background & Education
Paige holds a degree in Marketing from UC Santa Barbara, where she developed deep expertise in brand positioning, customer research, and digital acquisition strategy. Her academic foundation combined with 12 years of applied experience in sales and SEO gives her a unique ability to bridge strategy and execution.
Professional Background
SEO & Digital Marketing (8 years)
Paige spent the first phase of her career building and scaling SEO programs for local service businesses and independent retailers. She led campaigns that moved dozens of small businesses from near-zero organic visibility to Page 1 rankings. This hands-on experience taught her both the power and limitations of traditional SEO in an AI-driven world.
Sales Strategy & Execution (4+ years)
For the past 4+ years, Paige has focused on sales strategy, client acquisition, and revenue growth. She understands the entire customer journey—from first awareness to long-term retention—and designs go-to-market strategies that convert.
Why Answer Engine Optimization?
As answer engines emerged, Paige recognized that traditional SEO strategies were becoming incomplete. She saw businesses with perfect technical SEO still failing to get recommended by ChatGPT or Perplexity. This realization led her to PromptBridge, where she now helps businesses pivot from search-engine-only strategies to a multi-platform AI visibility approach.
AEO Expertise
Paige’s unique advantage is understanding both the technical execution of AEO and the sales mechanisms that drive customer acquisition. She specializes in:
- Go-to-market strategy for new AEO programs
- Client research & positioning for different verticals
- Content strategy aligned to answer engine algorithms
- Third-party credibility building and citation strategy
- AI Visibility Score communication and metric design
- Long-term client retention and account growth
Philosophy
Paige believes AEO is not just a technical exercise—it’s a business visibility discipline that requires strategic thinking, market understanding, and customer empathy. She says:
“AEO works best when you understand your customers’ questions before the algorithm does. We don’t optimize for AI; we optimize for the people asking AI questions. That’s the difference between vanity metrics and real business results.”
Currently
Paige leads PromptBridge’s client relationships, sales strategy, and marketing initiatives. She works directly with business owners to understand their competitive landscape, design custom AEO roadmaps, and drive measurable AI visibility growth. She also manages the company’s go-to-market strategy and ensures every vertical landing page speaks directly to the clients PromptBridge serves.
