AEO
Get cited when AI answers your customer's question. Schema, content, and authority signals — the technical work most "AEO experts" can't actually do.
Don't have a Google Business Profile yet?
Start there. GBP is the single most leveraged 30 minutes a local business will ever spend on search. AEO is what you do after the basics are handled. We can do both.
SEO didn't die. It just stopped clicking through.
Two years ago, ranking #1 on Google meant traffic. Today, ranking #1 on Google means Google's AI summarizes your page in a box at the top, your customer reads the summary, and never clicks. The customer got their answer. You got nothing.
The shift isn't optional and it isn't slowing down. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews — your customers are asking AI for recommendations and the AI is naming somebody. Either it's naming you, or it's naming the competitor who got the technical setup right.
It's not because…
AI is rigged against small businesses (it's not — it's actually friendlier to them than Google was)
You need to "create more content" (your competitor with three blog posts is getting cited and you with fifty aren't)
Your domain authority is too low (domain authority is an SEO industry myth, not a real thing)
You haven't been doing SEO long enough (AEO is faster than SEO ever was)
It's because…
Your site has no schema markup, so AI can't classify what your business is or where
Your content is written for humans, not for how AI extracts answers
You don't have entity signals tying your business to its category and location
AI cites the businesses that make themselves easy to cite — yours doesn't
“That's the gap. We close it.”

Nathan's actually building it. Not a "marketing strategist."
Nathan has spent 20 years building digital products — from simple landing pages for local plumbers to fully bespoke platforms for large corporations. His background is technical and entrepreneurial: he's built things from nothing and learned what actually makes content rankable and citable.
Here's the thing about AEO. The work is half marketing and half code. Schema markup, structured data, entity signals — that's just code. Most agencies selling AEO are marketers who learned the term six months ago. Nathan is a developer. When you hire AEO, you get a developer doing the technical half and a content brain doing the writing half. Most "AEO agencies" are missing the developer.
Three months to get cited. Six to be the answer.
We map every place AI is currently citing in your category. Document where you're absent. Then Nathan implements the technical foundation.
- Schema markup (LocalBusiness, FAQ, HowTo, Review, Service)
- Entity signals — business category and location tied together
- On-page optimization for AI extraction
- Internal linking architecture
We publish 2–4 authoritative content pieces a month built around the questions your customers are actually asking AI. Not generic blog posts — specific answers, structured for extraction, optimized for citation.
- 2–4 authoritative content pieces per month
- Question research — what AI is being asked in your category
- Google Business Profile alignment
- Citation tracking — are we showing up yet?
Link building, competitive monitoring, content expansion. The longer it runs, the harder it is for a competitor to displace you. AEO is a moat, not a campaign.
- Link building — outreach and placement
- Competitive AI visibility monitoring
- Content expansion into adjacent queries
- Quarterly strategy refresh
Schema and technical wins inside 30 days. AI citations at 60–90. Real, durable visibility around month 4 — keeps compounding.
Foundation tier — $750/mo.
You own everything. Every page, every piece of content, every line of schema. If you fire us, you take it all.

AEO isn't traditional SEO with a new name.
This is where most agencies are quietly bait-and-switching. We're not.
- Optimize your site for AI extraction and citation
- Build technical schema and entity signals
- Create content structured for how AI reads
- Get you cited in AI summaries, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews
- Replace traditional SEO (AI cites ranked content — you still need to rank)
- Show results in 30 days (citation compounds over months — anyone promising faster is lying)
- Work without on-site authority (you need real proof points, real reviews, real content)
- Fix a broken site (schema on a slow site is lipstick on a problem)
Three tiers. Pick by complexity, not budget.
The audit on Month 1 tells us where you actually start. We'll recommend the tier honestly — including telling you when Foundation is enough.
For single-location businesses or service providers building authority for the first time. Most clients land here.

You’ll know if it’s you.
Ideal Fit
- You Google your category and AI recommends competitors, not you
- You have an established business with real reviews, case studies, and authority signals to leverage
- You can wait 60–90 days for meaningful citation results and 6 months for compounding traffic
- You want a moat, not a quick hit
Not a Fit
- You need leads next week (run paid ads, AEO is long-term)
- You're pre-revenue with no proof points yet (build the business first, then the visibility)
- Your site has critical technical problems (fix those first, AEO is a layer on top)
- You're shopping the cheapest "AEO package" (those packages are SEO with a sticker)
Month-to-month. Cancel any month.
No setup fee. No deposit. No 12-month contract. If we stop earning the next month, you stop paying. One email and it's done.
We earn the next month. We don't lock you into the last one.
Questions before you book.
SEO ranks pages for clicks. AEO gets pages cited when AI answers a question without the click. They share a foundation — both need crawlable, structured, authoritative content — but the optimization is different. AEO leans heavier on schema markup, entity signals, and content structured for extraction.
Yes. AI cites ranked content. If you're not ranking, AI has nothing to cite. AEO is built on top of solid SEO — that's why our Foundation tier includes traditional on-page optimization.
Schema and technical wins, 30 days. Meaningful AI citation, 60–90 days. Real moat-level authority, 6 months and growing. Anyone telling you faster is selling something.
Because most AEO services are SEO with a sticker. We do the technical implementation — actual schema markup, entity signal architecture, structured data — that requires a developer. Most agencies don't have one.
AEO is a long game. If at month 3 we don't see schema showing up in AI tools, technical wins in your audit, or citation movement, we'll tell you what we're seeing and what we'd change. We won't keep collecting if it's not working — that's how we earn the next month.
