First call
Recruiting timeline before anyone starts
No retainer ask on the first call
Same strategic firepower as a small in-house team, without the hiring risk.
The audit call includes a specific number for your situation, not a range. You leave with findings and a 90-day plan you can run with us or in house. Early wins usually show inside 90 days.
Two ways to be found. We work on both.
Search still sends the customer. AI now recommends who they call. The brands that win the next few years are strong in both, and the fundamentals overlap more than most people expect.
SEARCH
Own the searches that mean a customer
We find the terms people use when they're ready to hire, apply, or buy, and build the pages and technical foundation that earn those positions.
AI SEARCH
Become a name AI recommends
We track the prompts your buyers actually type and create the entity signals, structure, and citations that get you named in the answer.
CONVERSION
Turn visits into conversations
Sites and pages built so the traffic you already earn becomes calls, forms, demos, and applications you can point to in a board deck.

FAQ
Straight answers on the first call, so the time we spend together goes to your business, not the basics.
Where you rank today for the searches that matter in your market, where you're cited (or missing) in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, and the estimated dollar value of the gap between you and the leader. It's a real deliverable, not a sales deck, you keep it either way.
Honestly: early wins (technical fixes, local visibility, existing-page improvements) usually show inside 90 days. Compounding growth, the steep part of the curve you see in our charts, typically builds over 6 to 12 months. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is selling something we don't.
In dollars. We translate rankings and AI citations into monthly organic traffic value, what you'd pay to buy that same traffic with ads, plus the conversions your analytics attribute to it. The formula and its assumptions are printed in every report, so you can check our math.
SEO earns you a ranking; GEO (generative engine optimization) earns you a citation, being the brand an AI names when your buyer asks a question. The foundations overlap, which is why we do both under one strategy: structured, sourced, genuinely useful content wins on both fronts.
Our deepest playbooks are in credit unions and financial services, home services, SaaS, e-commerce, and nonprofits, but the visibility report will tell us both whether we're the right fit before you commit to anything. If we're not, we'll say so and point you somewhere good.
