SEO Strategy Services

{"faqs":[{"answer":"The average SEO consultant charges $3,250/month and agencies average $3,200/month, and many still require long contracts. Our managed service is month-to-month and starts with a free AI SEO Visibility Report, so you see exactly where you stand across Google, Maps, and the major AI answer engines before committing to anything.","question":"How much does SEO cost compared to your AI SEO services?"},{"answer":"AI SEO is the umbrella practice of getting your business found by AI systems. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focus specifically on how engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews discover and reuse business facts. Our managed service covers all of it, built on a foundation of strong local SEO, useful content, reviews, citations, and technical accessibility.","question":"What's the difference between AI SEO, GEO, and AEO — and do I need all of them?"},{"answer":"No — and we never will. Nobody can control ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews. What we do is build the evidence layer those systems discover and reuse: optimized Google Business Profile, local citations, SEO content, technical SEO for AI crawlers, and clear business facts. Our visibility tracking reports are directional, not guarantees.","question":"Can you guarantee my business appears in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?"},{"answer":"After your free AI SEO Visibility Report, we begin the managed service immediately — optimizing your Google Business Profile, building local citations, creating SEO content, and fixing technical SEO for AI crawlers. AI visibility tracking and citation reporting are directional, so you'll see progress in clear monthly reporting rather than promised timelines, since answer engines operate on their own schedules.","question":"How long until I see results from the AI SEO service?"},{"answer":"Freelancers average $1,350/month but often cover only traditional SEO, while tools and dashboards put the work back on you. We're fully done for you — covering AI SEO, GEO, AEO, local SEO, and technical SEO for AI crawlers — month-to-month with clear reporting. You own your website, content, data, and domain, and we make no black-box claims about how results are achieved.","question":"Why choose a managed AI SEO consultancy over hiring a freelance SEO consultant or buying SEO tools?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Get Your Free AI SEO Visibility Report","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Request your free report and see exactly where your business stands in Google, Google Maps, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Copilot — no commitment required."},{"step":"2","title":"Launch Your Managed AI SEO Service","gradient":"from-yellow-500 to-orange-500","description":"We build the evidence layer AI systems need: local SEO, Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, SEO content, and technical SEO for AI crawlers — all done for you, month-to-month."},{"step":"3","title":"Track Your AI Visibility With Clear Reporting","gradient":"from-green-500 to-emerald-500","description":"Receive clear, directional reporting on AI visibility tracking and AI citations across answer engines — results you can understand without managing a single dashboard."}],"ctaText":"Get Your Free AI SEO Visibility Report — Be the Business AI Recommends","eyebrow":"AI Search Visibility","benefits":[{"icon":"Target","title":"Be Findable Where Customers Actually Search","gradient":"from-emerald-500 to-teal-500","description":"Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews for recommendations like 'best HVAC company near me' or 'estate planning attorney in [city].'
