SEO, AEO & GEO services

Be the answer, everywhere they ask.

Your customers search on Google, ask Maps for directions, and increasingly take whatever the AI answer tells them. We optimize for all of it: traditional SEO for Search and Maps, plus AEO and GEO so your brand shows up in the AI-generated answers on Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.

SEO isn't going away. Where people search is what's changing.

What our search work covers

Keyword strategy & search intentKeyword gap analysis against your real competitors, intent mapping so every page targets what the searcher actually wants, and ongoing trend monitoring, because the terms your customers use shift, and your strategy should shift with them.
Local SEO & Google Business ProfileThe map pack, reviews, location pages, and consistent NAP, your name, address, and phone, identical across every listing and directory, so Google trusts who and where you are. This is where service businesses win or lose.
Content & on-page UXTitles and snippets crafted to earn the click, content structured to reduce cognitive load and frustration once they arrive, and internal links mapped from verified URLs. Higher click-through, lower bounce, more of the right visitors staying.
AEO & GEO for AI answersFAQ structures, schema, and plain-language answers engineered for extraction, plus the E-E-A-T signals, experience, expertise, authority, and trust, that Google and AI systems use to decide who deserves to be the answer. When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google's AI who to call, your brand is in it.
Technical SEO, speed & securityCore Web Vitals treated as design constraints: fast loading on any device, any connection, anywhere. Crawlability for both search engines and AI crawlers, clean architecture, and structured data. And HTTPS with hardened, monitored hosting, because a hacked or flagged site doesn’t rank poorly, it vanishes from results.
Reporting you can actually readHeatmaps, session recordings, and plain-language monthly reporting tied to leads, not vanity metrics. You'll always know what's working and what we're doing about what isn't.

Rankings and AI mentions are the start. Leads are the point.

Traffic that doesn't turn into customers is a vanity metric. We watch what visitors actually do, with heatmaps, recordings, and real behavior data, and keep raising the rate at which searches become leads: calls, bookings, and orders. And because our plans are month-to-month, the results have to keep earning your business.

And it's all month-to-month. No long-term contracts; the results are what keep you here.

Questions we hear about modern SEO.

What are AEO and GEO?

AEO, answer engine optimization, structures your content so it gets pulled into answer boxes and AI summaries. GEO, generative engine optimization, makes your brand the one AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity cite when someone asks for a recommendation. Together they make sure you show up where search is heading, not just where it's been.

How long does SEO take to work?

Honest answer: it depends on your market, your competition, and your starting point. Local improvements often show within a few months; competitive terms take longer. We set expectations from real data on your market during your strategy call, and our reporting shows progress monthly so you're never guessing.

Do you guarantee rankings or AI mentions?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. Don't take our word for it: Google's own guidance on hiring an SEO says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, and warns businesses away from agencies that claim otherwise; the same goes for promised AI mentions. What we do guarantee is a documented process, work you can see, reporting tied to leads, and month-to-month terms, so the results are what keep you here.

Is this a one-time project or ongoing work?

Both exist. A site build includes foundational SEO: structure, titles, schema, speed. Climbing and holding rankings in a competitive market is ongoing work, because your competitors aren't standing still. Ongoing plans are month-to-month with no long-term contracts.

Can you do SEO on a website you didn't build?

Usually, yes. We audit what you have, tell you honestly what's holding it back, and whether optimization or a rebuild is the better investment. Sometimes the foundation is fine and the content needs work; sometimes it's the reverse. You'll get a straight answer either way.
