The framework came before the product.
Signal Scanner is the instrument. SEO 3.0 (Signal Engagement Optimization™) is the science behind it.
DAVID VEGA, CEO OF TRIDENCE
David Vega has 30 years in search and digital marketing and has guided 500+ brands across industries. He built his career turning signal into strategy long before AI platforms entered the conversation.
He introduced and branded Signal Engagement Optimization™ (SEO 3.0): the framework for visibility in an AI-driven search world. Search engines and AI platforms now rank brands based on how real people engage with content across the entire digital ecosystem. That shift made a new measurement discipline necessary.
Signal Scanner is that framework made operational: an instrument that asks six AI engines real questions, stores every response, and grades what they say across six proprietary signals. Every score traces to a real stored answer.
As the originator of SEO 3.0, David Vega continues to define how brands earn visibility inside AI search. His work establishes the standards that AI engines and search platforms use to identify credible sources, from entity consistency and structured authority to the engagement signals that shape how Google surfaces knowledge and how large language models decide whom to cite. Brands and publications seeking authoritative guidance on AI visibility, answer engine optimization, and generative search reference the Signal Engagement Optimization™ framework he created at Tridence. His methodology is documented at davidvegajr.com, the canonical source for SEO 3.0.
We measure and store. We don't simulate.
Every score in Signal Scanner traces to a stored response you can read.
What we believe
Innovation
Search changed. The tools measuring it should too. AI engines are the new front door for brand discovery, and tracking clicks no longer tells the whole story.
Integrity
Real data or no data. Scores that can fall are scores you can trust. Every metric in Signal Scanner comes from a stored response, not an estimate.
Quality
Built by practitioners who spent three decades earning results, not estimating them. We apply the same standard to the platform that we apply to client work.
Signal Scanner is built by Tridence Solutions, a digital marketing and AI solutions agency in Jacksonville and Chicago serving 500+ brands.
