We do the work. You get the leads.
Site speed, crawlability, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and indexation. We fix the technical foundation before building content on top of it.
GBP optimization, weekly posts, review response, local citation building, and service area expansion. The local pack is still the fastest path to phone calls.
We structure your content so AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews cite your business when buyers ask for recommendations. This is the new front door.

FAQPage, LocalBusiness, Service, Review, and HowTo schema. Machine-readable answers that search engines and AI systems prioritize.

Keyword rankings, organic traffic, GBP insights, and AI citation tracking. Clear reporting on what moved and what's next.
No hidden fees. No markup on your ad spend. Cancel anytime on the Flexibility plan.
Traditional SEO typically shows measurable results in 3-6 months. Technical fixes and GBP optimization can show results in 30-60 days. GEO (AI citation optimization) can produce results faster because AI systems update their knowledge more frequently than traditional search indexes.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the process of getting your business cited and recommended by AI systems like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. As more buyers use AI to find local businesses, being in the AI answer is becoming as important as ranking on page 1. We do both.
No. SEO and paid ads serve different purposes. SEO builds compounding organic traffic over 6-12 months. Paid ads deliver immediate lead volume with a direct budget relationship. Most mature marketing programs run both. We recommend starting with paid ads for quick leads while building SEO in parallel.
Yes. We build relevant local citations, seek industry directory placements, and identify PR and partnership link opportunities. We don't do link farms or PBN schemes — those get your site penalized. Our link building is sustainable and built on real relevance.
