SEO and AIO: get found in search results and in AI answers

Buyers now find firms two ways: they search, and they ask an AI. SEO earns your place in Google's results and map listings. AIO earns your place in the answers people get from Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. We run both as one program, because the same foundations drive both: a technically sound site, content that answers real questions, and a consistent, well-reviewed presence across the web.

What is AIO? AIO (AI optimization) is the practice of making your business easy for AI systems to find, understand, and recommend. It's also called GEO (generative engine optimization) or AEO (answer engine optimization).

What's included

Technical SEO.

Crawlability, site speed, mobile experience, structured data, and fixes for whatever is holding your pages back.

Local SEO.

Google Business Profile, local citations, location pages, and a review program, so you appear in the map results for the areas you serve.

Content that answers buyers.

Service, practice-area, and location pages, plus guides and FAQs built around the questions your buyers actually ask.

AI visibility.

We track how AI assistants describe your firm and your competitors, then close the gaps: clear facts about your business, schema markup, answer-first content, and mentions on the sources AI systems rely on.

Authority building.

Digital PR, industry directories, associations, and partnerships that earn links and mentions worth having.

Reporting.

Rankings and traffic, AI mentions, calls, forms, and the revenue they turn into.

How it works in your industry

Real estate and construction

Rank for the services and areas you want more of, from commercial general contracting in your city to kitchen remodels near me. Project pages double as proof and as search landing pages.

Health and wellness

Win the map results and the review comparison. Treatment and service pages written accurately and reviewed by your clinicians, so they meet search engines' standards for health content.

Legal

Practice-area and location pages for the cases you want, attorney profiles that show real expertise, and a review program that follows your bar's rules.

Logistics

Pages for every service, lane, and region you cover, so shippers and brokers find you for specific freight needs. Recruiting content that ranks for driver job searches.
