Why You Need Both Layers

Customers search on Google and ask AI assistants. Your business needs to show up in both.

AI SEO (AEO / GEO)

ChatGPT alone receives about 2.5 billion prompts a day, according to figures OpenAI shared in July 2025. We make sure AI tools can find accurate, consistent information about your business and the work you do.

Industry programs for moving, home services and mental health companies

Perplexity and ChatGPT search read pages live, so site changes can show up there once pages are recrawled, often sooner than in answers drawn from a model's training data. Timing varies by platform and market.

Traditional SEO

Google's classic search algorithm still handles more than 5 trillion searches a year and is still where most customers start. We work on three things: your pages and keywords, your site's technical health, and links and mentions from other sites.

Keyword research and content planning
Core Web Vitals optimization (LCP, CLS, INP)
JSON-LD schema implementation across all pages
White-hat link building: editorial placements only
Monthly rank tracking dashboard & transparent reporting

Ranking changes usually take 3–6 months to show and build over time.

Our Unified SEO Process

Every project follows the same steps, adjusted to your business.

AI Visibility Audit

We test how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini answer your customers' questions, where you appear and which competitors show up instead.

Technical Foundation

Speed, crawling, sitemaps and structured data. We fix technical problems first so the rest of the work counts.

Keywords & Content Plan

Keyword research and a look at what competitors cover that you don't. Each page gets a clear job and a clear audience.

Structured Data

Structured data (FAQ, Service, Breadcrumb and Organization) on every page, so search engines understand who you are and what you offer.

Link & Citation Outreach

Manual outreach for links from real publications, plus accurate listings and honest participation on the sites AI tools read.

Monitoring & Iteration

A monthly report on rankings, AI mentions, traffic and site speed, and what we'll change next.

The Search Hierarchy

Google still handles more than 5 trillion searches a year and is where most customers start.

At the same time, AI tools are growing fast: ChatGPT receives about 2.5 billion prompts a day, and 45% of US consumers used ChatGPT or other AI tools for local recommendations in BrightLocal's 2026 survey, up from 6% a year earlier. Many of those people never click a traditional search result.

Customers now use both, often in the same decision, so it pays to be visible in each.

SEO FAQ

What is the difference between AI SEO (AEO) and Traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO is about ranking in Google's regular results. AEO (answer engine optimization) is about how AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews describe and recommend businesses. They share most of the groundwork, so we do both together.

How quickly will I see results from SEO?

Traditional SEO typically shows significant momentum at 3–6 months. AI search tools that look up the web live, like Perplexity and ChatGPT search, can reflect site changes once pages are recrawled, which is often sooner. Competitive markets take longer; local and niche markets usually move faster. We report progress every month rather than promise a date.

How quickly can I appear in ChatGPT or Perplexity answers?

There is no fixed timeline, and no one can guarantee that an AI tool will recommend a particular business. We work on what these tools can read: consistent listings and citations, a clear description of your business, accurate structured data and pages that answer your customers' questions. Tools that retrieve pages in real time, like Perplexity and ChatGPT search, usually reflect those changes sooner than answers that rely on a model's training data.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO (generative engine optimization) means making sure AI tools have accurate, consistent and useful information about your business: clear pages, structured data, mentions on trusted sites, and content with your own examples that isn't available anywhere else.

Are your backlinks safe from Google penalties?

We don't use private blog networks, link farms or automated link building. We get links through outreach to real publications and industry sites, and we check each one for relevance before it goes live.

Do you provide monthly SEO reporting?

Yes. Every month you get a report with rankings, traffic, site speed, AI visibility results and a list of every link we built.
