SEO & AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO)

Rank in Google — and get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.

Search has split in two: 68% of U.S. Google searches now end without a click (SparkToro/Similarweb, 2026), and AI-assistant referrals grew 16× in two years (SE Ranking, 2026). We optimize for both — classic technical SEO for rankings, and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO/GEO) so AI assistants cite YOU as the answer. AI Visibility Audit $1,500 · AEO retainers starting at $3,500/mo.

SEO & AI Search questions, answered straight

How long until I see results?

Local SEO: 2-3 months for visibility, 4-6 for measurable traffic. National SEO: 4-9 months depending on competition. We are honest about timelines at proposal — anyone promising faster results is selling spam.

What's changed in SEO with Google's AI Overviews?

AI Overviews have shifted the game from ranking pages to becoming an answer source. We focus on entity clarity, structured data, and review velocity — the signals that get businesses surfaced in the AI summary, not just the blue-link list.

What is AEO / GEO, and is it different from SEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is getting chosen as the direct answer — in AI Overviews, featured snippets, and voice results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is getting cited inside generative responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. The foundations overlap with strong SEO, but the deliverables differ: answer-formatted content, entity optimization, AI-crawler readiness, and — the part most agencies skip — actually measuring whether AI engines cite you, month over month.

How much does AI Search Optimization cost?

The AI Visibility Audit is a published, fixed $1,500 — where you stand across the major AI engines plus a prioritized roadmap, credited toward a retainer if you continue. AEO/GEO retainers start at $3,500/mo including monthly citation reporting; if you already run an SEO retainer with us, the AEO layer adds $1,000/mo. Industry context: credible AEO retainers run $2,000–$10,000/mo — anything much cheaper is usually classic SEO with a new label.

Do you guarantee AI citations?

No one can honestly guarantee what ChatGPT or Google will cite — anyone promising that is selling snake oil. What we commit to is the discipline: measured baselines, monthly citation and share-of-voice logs across engines, and the content + entity work that demonstrably moves those numbers. You see the citation log, not a vibe report.

Do you do link building?

We do earned mentions and digital PR — real placements, not citation farms. We do not buy links from broker networks. The value/effort ratio collapsed three years ago.

How do you measure success?

Organic traffic to commercial pages, organic-driven leads, and organic-driven revenue. We do not optimize for keyword rankings as a primary metric — they are a leading indicator at best.

What if my site is on WordPress / Shopify / Wix?

We work with whatever platform you have. Most technical SEO wins are platform-agnostic. If the platform is fundamentally limiting your performance, we will tell you — and either help you migrate or work within constraints.
