Buyers now ask Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity "who should we use to hire in Vietnam?" before they ever click a result or an ad. We tested what those answers say today, and what it would take for TalentHero to be named in them.
Organic search is now TalentHero's largest traffic channel. But when a US or European company asks an AI tool which Employer of Record to use in Asia, the answer names other providers. That gap is fixable, and TalentHero has an advantage the global platforms don't: its own teams on the ground in the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore.
TalentHero has grown from around 125 clients to 165 this year, with 1,000+ offshore workers, and was built in Manila. Yet Google's AI answer to "employer of record philippines" names Deel, Papaya Global and Multiplier, and for "employer of record vietnam" it cites ten sources. TalentHero appears in neither. The expertise exists. It just isn't written down anywhere AI can quote it.
Many companies we review block AI crawlers without knowing it. TalentHero doesn't. The foundations AI visibility needs are already live, so the next phase is about content and reputation, not rebuilding.
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI crawlers can all read the site. Nothing is blocked.
A machine-readable site summary for AI tools is published and up to date.
9,750 organic sessions from January to September 2026, 45% of all site traffic and ahead of direct visits.
A deep library on EOR, payroll, contractors and remote teams: raw material AI tools can cite once it's sharpened by market.
Real Google search results for US searchers, captured 22 September 2026. We recorded every source cited inside the AI Overview at the top of the page.
Measured directly from live results.
GA4's AI Assistant channel shows these tools already send some visits. The goal is to multiply that.
Domain Rating (Ahrefs, 0 to 100) measures how much of the web links to a site. The global platforms have a head start on authority, but authority alone doesn't decide the answer: Acclime and BIPO are cited for Vietnam because they publish the local detail.
| Provider | Domain Rating | Cited in our 4 AI Overviews | What they publish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deel | 81 | 3 of 4 | A hiring guide for every country, plus comparison pages |
| Remote | 80 | 1 of 4 | Country guides with rates, leave and notice rules |
| Papaya Global | 72 | 2 of 4 | Payroll and employment law pages per country |
| Oyster | 72 | 1 of 4 | Explainers such as EOR vs PEO |
| Multiplier | 68 | 2 of 4 | APAC-focused country guides |
| TalentHero | 33 | 0 of 4 | Office pages for Vietnam, the Philippines and Singapore |
Ads pay for each visit from buyers who already know what they want. AI answers shape which names buyers trust before they click. Being named in the answer makes every paid click more likely to convert, and it costs nothing per visit.
This sits on top of the current SEO and Ads work, run by the same team, measured in the same monthly report.
Turn the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore pages into the most useful hiring guides on the web: costs, contributions, leave, notice, work permits and TalentHero's own local insight, with FAQ markup AI can lift directly.
Month 1 to 2Pitch TalentHero into the roundups AI reads, build G2 and Capterra profiles with real client reviews, and seed expert answers where buyers ask questions.
Month 1 to 4Track AI Overview citations across 30 buyer questions, AI assistant visits in GA4, and the leads they bring, reported alongside SEO and Ads.
From month 1We'll confirm which buyer markets (US, UK, Europe, Australia) and which hiring countries matter most to TalentHero's pipeline, and build the first guides around them.
