SEO / GEO

Show up in Google — and in AI Overviews.

Search has split in two: traditional blue links, and the AI-generated answers now sitting above them. We build for both — custom keyword strategy and content structured to rank in classic Google search while also earning citations in AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and the other generative search tools your customers are starting to use.

Rankings that drive real traffic.

Traditional SEO

Technical SEO, on-page optimization, and content built around what your prospects actually search — your service, your city, your specialty. We fix the crawl errors, page speed, and structure issues that quietly cap how high you can rank, then build the content that earns the ranking.

GEO — Generative Engine Optimization

Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are answering questions before searchers ever click a link. GEO structures your content — clear answers, real expertise signals, proper schema markup — so those systems cite your business, not a competitor's.

What you get

  • Full technical SEO audit and fixes
  • Keyword strategy tied to real search intent
  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization
  • Schema markup for AI Overview and answer engine visibility
  • Monthly reporting on rankings, impressions, and traffic

SEO and GEO questions, answered straight.

What is GEO, or generative engine optimization?

GEO is the work of getting a business named inside AI-generated answers — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews — rather than only in the list of links. It overlaps heavily with SEO but weights different things: clearly structured pages an AI system can extract a clean answer from, consistent information about the business across the web, and content that is genuinely specific rather than a summary of what is already online.

What's the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

SEO targets the classic ranked results and the map pack. AEO, answer engine optimization, is about structuring content so an answer engine can lift a direct answer out of it. GEO is the broader practice of earning visibility inside generative results. In practice they are one workstream, because the technical foundation — crawlable content, clean structure, accurate schema — is shared.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Meaningful traction usually starts between 60 and 90 days for a well-maintained site in a moderately competitive market. Highly competitive categories run longer. Anyone promising faster than that either has an unusually easy market or is not being straight with you.

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?

No, and neither can anyone else honestly. Nobody controls Google's ranking systems. What we do commit to is showing you exactly what was changed, what the search data says before and after, and where things stand — including when the results are not there yet.
