Google Premier Partner 2026SEO + AEO in every plan
Your customers still search Google. More of them now also ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity who to hire. We win both: page one on Google, and your name in the answer. Every result lands in a report you’ll actually want to read.
The SEO report every client gets. Sample client, made-up numbers.
A growing share of your customers never scroll a list of ten blue links. They ask an assistant, read one answer, and call one of the two or three businesses it names. That answer is the new page one.
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is how you get into it. It isn’t a separate product we upsell; it’s built into every SEO plan we run, because the same work wins both: clear answers, a trusted brand, strong reviews, clean technical signals and links from sites that matter.

SEO isn’t one task. It’s fourteen, done well and done every month. Here’s everything your plan includes, and where to see how we do it.
Assistants recommend the businesses they understand, trust and can quote. Our job is to make you all three, then prove it with numbers every week.
We map what your customers actually ask assistants: “best roofer for storm damage”, “how much is a new roof in Charlotte”. They become the prompts we track and the pages we write.
Pages open with a direct, quotable answer, then prices, steps and FAQs. Assistants lift clear answers and skip vague ones.
The same name, address and phone everywhere, plus Organization and LocalBusiness schema linking your profiles, so every assistant knows you’re one real, established business.
Assistants cite reviews, directories, local press and industry sites. We build your presence on those sources and keep you indexed in both Google and Bing, which several assistants use to search the web.
A robots.txt that welcomes GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google’s AI crawlers, and an llms.txt file that points them to your best pages.
We ask the assistants your customers’ questions every week and log whether you’re named and linked, and who’s named instead. You see it in your dashboard and in every report.
Every page we publish goes through the same seven steps, written by a person who knows your market, never pasted out of a template.
Clients send us what’s on their phone. We turn it into images that load fast, look professional and tell Google and AI exactly what they show.
Great content on a site Google can’t crawl ranks nowhere. Indexing, robots.txt, schema, internal links and speed are checked and fixed before we write a word, then watched every month.
A page that isn’t indexed can’t rank, and it can’t be quoted by AI either. We check your index status in Search Console, fix whatever keeps pages out, and submit every new page the day it goes live.
One wrong line in robots.txt can hide a whole site, or quietly block the AI crawlers that decide whether assistants can read you. We audit it, fix it and watch it, and add an llms.txt file that points AI to your best pages.
Schema is how you describe your business in the language search engines and AI read directly: what you do, where, when you’re open and where else you exist online. We build it, validate it and keep it in sync with your Google Business Profile.
Internal links tell Google which pages matter most and help it find every new one. We build service hubs that link to their city pages and supporting posts, fix broken links, and make sure no page is left without a way in.
Most of your visitors are on a phone, often on a job site or in a parking lot. Slow pages lose rankings and lose the call. We compress, lazy-load and trim until your key pages load fast on mobile.
Examples shown for a sample business.
For a local business, the Maps 3-pack is often worth more than the first organic result. We optimize your Google Business Profile every week and measure where you rank from dozens of spots around your business, not just from our office.
Every plan starts with research and keeps doing it: the searches worth winning, the competitors ranking for them, and the links that make Google and AI trust you more than them.

SEO compounds. Meaningful movement usually takes three to six months, and we’ll tell you before you sign if your market needs longer. Here’s what happens while it builds.
A dentist’s customers search differently than a roofer’s, and ask AI different questions. Every industry gets its own keywords, page structure, schema type, seasonality and review strategy.

Search engine optimization is the ongoing work of making your website and your business the best answer for the searches your customers make: technical SEO so Google can crawl and index you, content that matches what people search for, local SEO for Maps, and links and reviews that build trust. Good SEO services do that work every month and report it clearly.
Answer engine optimization (sometimes called GEO, generative engine optimization) is SEO for AI assistants. Instead of ranking a page in a list, the goal is to be the business the assistant names and cites in its answer. It rewards direct answers, clear entity signals, schema, strong reviews and mentions on sites the assistants trust. See our AEO services.
Local SEO is how a business with a service area ranks in Google Maps and for “near me” searches. It depends on your Google Business Profile, consistent name, address and phone across the web, reviews, city pages and local schema, and it’s where most local service businesses get their best leads.
Google Ads buy you the top of Google today; SEO earns it for free over time. Most of our clients run both: ads for immediate leads while SEO and AEO build, then a lower blended cost per lead as organic grows. Our free cost calculator shows what the same traffic would cost as ads.
The right local SEO agency tells you exactly what it will deliver every month, reports on calls and leads instead of vanity rankings, lets you own everything it builds and never buys links. In 2026 it also needs a plan for AI answers, because ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews now decide which local businesses get named.
Concrete, countable work: new or improved pages, blog posts, Google Business Profile posts, citations and links, and technical fixes, plus a report that shows what moved. Our plans put it in writing: Essentials is 3 pages and 3 posts a month, Growth 6 and 6, Authority 10 and 10.
Guaranteed number one rankings, secret methods, cheap bulk backlinks, reports that only show traffic and never leads, a 12 month contract, or an agency that keeps your content or your Google Business Profile in its own name. Any one of these is a reason to walk away.
If your customers are in a service area, you need local SEO: the map pack, city pages, reviews and listings that match your exact name, address and phone. A national firm often sells the same content plan to every client. We build city and service pages for each market you serve, from Jacksonville to the rest of the country.
Watch three numbers: Maps and organic positions for the searches that bring in jobs, calls and forms from search, and how often AI assistants name you. Clarity, our dashboard, shows all three live and is included in every plan at no extra cost. Expect real movement in three to six months.
| Media Spearhead | Cheap SEO package | Doing it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly work | 3 to 10 pages and 3 to 10 posts, written for your market | Often vague or templated content | Whatever you find time for |
| AI answers (AEO) | In every plan, checked weekly in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and AI Overviews | Rarely included | Hard to track |
| Google Business Profile | Managed: posts, photos, review replies, citations | Sometimes, as an add-on | Your time every week |
| Backlinks | Real links from chambers, local guides, suppliers and industry sites | Bulk links that can hurt rankings | Slow outreach |
| Reporting | Live dashboard plus written reports | Ranking screenshots | Search Console |
| Contract | Month to month, you own everything | Often 6 to 12 months | None |
Month-to-month, no long-term contract. Every plan includes technical SEO, on-page optimization, Google Business Profile management, the AEO basics (schema, AI crawler access, answer-first pages) and a named strategist. Want your AI answers tracked and worked on every week? See AEO + SEO.
All three plans are month-to-month. SEO compounds: meaningful movement typically takes 3 to 6 months, and we will tell you before you sign if your market needs longer.
Each plan is the matching SEO plan plus dedicated answer engine optimization. Month-to-month, no long-term contract, no setup fee. Ad spend is not required.
The six engines: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode. Nobody can promise a spot in an AI answer; we report how often you are named, every week.

The questions business owners ask us most before they hire an SEO company.
Local SEO services get a business found by people nearby: Google Business Profile optimization for the map pack, city and service pages, consistent business listings across the web, reviews, technical fixes and content that answers what local customers ask. As a local SEO agency we add answer engine optimization to every plan, so the same work also gets you named by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
Every plan includes answer engine optimization (AEO) for AI assistants, keyword and competitor research, new and optimized pages, blog posts, meta titles and descriptions, image editing, internal linking, technical SEO (indexing, robots.txt, schema and local schema, speed), Google Business Profile management, citations and backlinks, tracking, reports and a live dashboard, with a named strategist.
Answer engine optimization is the work that gets your business named, quoted and linked when people ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity who to hire. More customers now start there instead of a list of search results, and the same work improves both, so we never sell SEO without it.
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Grok and Microsoft Copilot. Every week we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews the questions your customers ask and log whether you're named and linked, and you see those results in your dashboard and reports.
Meaningful movement usually takes three to six months, and we'll tell you before you sign if your market needs longer. Google Business Profile and technical fixes often move faster, and you'll see progress in every report along the way.
Three month-to-month plans with no setup fee: Essentials at $1,500 a month, Growth at $2,500 a month and Authority at $3,500 a month. The difference is how much content, how many citations and profile posts, and how often you get a report.
Essentials includes 3 pages created or optimized and 3 blog posts a month, Growth 6 and 6, and Authority 10 and 10. Every piece is written for your market, optimized, published, indexed and tracked.
Essentials clients get a full report every month; Growth and Authority clients get one every two weeks. Every client also gets 24/7 access to Clarity, our dashboard, with rankings, Maps visibility, AI mentions and every lead from search.
Yes, on every plan: categories and services, edited photos, weekly posts (4 a month, or 8 on Authority), review replies, citations built every month, and local schema and city pages that tie back to your profile.
Yes. Citations every month plus real links from chambers of commerce, local guides, manufacturers, suppliers and industry sites. We never use paid link schemes or private blog networks, which put your rankings at risk.
Yes, 100%. Every page, post, image and piece of schema we create is yours and stays on your site if you ever leave.
Choose an SEO agency that shows you the exact work it will do each month (pages, posts, citations, fixes), reports on calls and leads rather than only rankings, lets you own every page it creates, refuses paid link schemes and works month to month. In 2026, also ask how it gets you named in AI answers, because that is where more customers now start.
No honest one can. Google says no one can guarantee a number one ranking. What an SEO company can promise is the work: the pages, fixes, citations and content it will deliver every month, and clear reporting so you can see whether rankings, calls and leads are moving.
No. Every plan is month to month with no cancellation fees. We keep clients by getting results, which is why our client retention rate is 95%.
A strategy call with a senior strategist, not a sales rep. We’ll show you where you rank on Google and in Maps, whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity recommend you, who they name instead, and exactly what it would take to change that.
