What's Included

Every engagement, four pillars.

Every SEO engagement covers the same four pillars, scoped to your brand: technical foundation (site speed, crawlability, structured data, Core Web Vitals), on-page (titles, headings, internal linking, content depth), local (Google Business Profile, citations, service-area pages, NAP consistency), and content — the pages and answers that actually earn rankings and citations.

You get one accountable team running all four, not four vendors pointing at each other when the numbers stall. That's the advantage of working with an agency that also shoots your photo, cuts your video, and builds your site: SEO isn't bolted on after launch, it's baked into how the pages get built in the first place.

Local

Local SEO across Southern California.

We build service-area coverage the way Southern California search actually works — by city and neighborhood, from La Jolla and Del Mar to Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, and Palm Springs. That means dedicated, genuinely-local pages with real context, schema with accurate geo-coordinates, and a Google Business Profile tuned to show up in the map pack for the searches that bring you revenue.

If you serve an area you don't have a storefront in, we structure for it correctly so you rank without tripping spam signals. Service-area SEO done wrong reads as doorway pages to Google; done right, it's how a premium brand owns a region it works in but isn't headquartered in.

Reporting

How we measure it.

No vanity dashboards. We track the metrics that move the business: qualified organic traffic, keyword rankings for terms with real buying intent, Google Business Profile actions (calls, directions, clicks), and — increasingly — whether AI answer engines cite you. You see what changed, why, and what's next, in plain language, every month.

We set realistic timelines at kickoff based on where you're starting. Technical fixes move in weeks; competitive content rankings take months. We'd rather tell you that on day one than sell you a number we can't hit.

AEO / GEO

SEO is the foundation. AEO is the future.

Ranking first used to be the finish line. Now an AI-generated answer often sits above the results — and it decides which brands to name before anyone clicks. That's why every SEO engagement we run is built to feed Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), not just blue-link rankings.

The same technical work that wins in Google — clean structured data, fast pages, clear content — is what makes your brand readable to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. We extend it with Speakable schema, question-and-answer formatting, entity consistency, and an llms.txt index so AI engines can parse, trust, and quote you. Strong SEO earns the traffic; AEO makes sure an AI answer doesn't quietly intercept it.

Common Questions

How long until I see SEO results?

Technical fixes show movement in 2-4 weeks. Local SEO wins land in 4-8 weeks. Competitive content rankings take 3-6 months. We set realistic timelines at kickoff based on your starting position.

Do you do local SEO?

Yes — it's our specialty for service businesses. Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, review strategy, and geo-targeted landing pages (like this one) drive the highest-intent local traffic.

Do you build backlinks?

Yes, through ethical outreach, digital PR, and content-led link earning. No PBNs, no paid link schemes — nothing that puts your site at risk of a Google penalty.

Do you optimize for AI search and Google AI Overviews?

Yes. Alongside traditional SEO we run Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — Speakable schema, structured answers, entity consistency, and an llms.txt index — so your brand can be cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, not just ranked in classic results.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO ranks your page in search results. AEO gets your brand named inside the AI-generated answer that now appears above those results. They share a technical foundation, but AEO adds the schema and answer-formatting that AI engines rely on to quote a source confidently.
