Rank for the searches that actually lead to business

Not chasing vanity keywords — SEO built around the specific services and service area your business actually serves.

What's included

How we approach SEO

Technical SEO

Site speed, mobile usability, and crawlability fixed so search engines can actually index your pages.

On-page optimization

Titles, headings, and content structured around the terms your customers search.

Local SEO

Location pages and structured data built for "near me" and service-area searches.

Ongoing content

Ongoing pages and updates that keep your site relevant instead of going stale after launch.

Why it matters

SEO is the channel that keeps paying after you stop paying for it

Unlike ads, a page that ranks well keeps bringing in traffic without a per-click cost. For local businesses, that mostly means ranking for "[service] near me" and service-area searches — not competing nationally for broad, expensive keywords. We also build with AEO and GEO in mind, since AI answer engines and search assistants are increasingly where local searches start. See our guide to local SEO, AEO, and GEO for more detail.

Beyond classic SEO

What AEO and GEO add on top

AEO — Answer Engine Optimization

Structuring your content so Google's AI Overviews, featured snippets, and voice assistants can pull a direct answer from your page — using clear headings, concise answers, and schema markup.

GEO — Generative Engine Optimization

Getting recommended when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for a business like yours — through structured data, consistent business information, and content written to be easy for an AI model to parse and trust.

Structured data

Schema markup for your services, FAQs, and business information, added across your site so search engines and AI tools can read exactly what you offer.

FAQ

Common questions

SEO gets you found in traditional search results and Google Maps. AEO gets your content pulled directly into AI Overviews and featured snippets. GEO gets your business recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. We build for all three together, since they overlap heavily.

Typically 2-4 months for meaningful ranking movement, since search engines need time to recrawl and re-evaluate your site. It's a slower but more durable channel than paid ads.

Yes — local and "near me" searches are far less competitive than broad national keywords, which is exactly where a small business's SEO effort should be focused.
