Layer 01 · GEO + Local SEO

Get found on Google. Get cited by AI.

Half of searches are local. The other half are increasingly answered by AI engines that cite a handful of trusted sources. GEO/SEO done right gets you on both lists — and keeps compounding while you sleep.

Part of the Visibility layer — you can’t be contacted if you weren’t found. (205) 831-8876


01The Visibility Math

Why showing up is half the battle.

Search used to be one list. Now it is a local pack plus an AI answer that names a few sources. Miss either and you are invisible to the people already looking for you.

GEO + SEO — THE MATH BASIS: TRADES & HOME SERVICES REGION: UNITED STATES
01 46% searches are local Nearly half of all Google searches have local intent. If you do not show up in your service area, you do not exist for those searches.
02 ~70% click the top 3 results Local-pack and top-3 organic capture the vast majority of clicks. Position 4 and below collect the leftovers.
03 AI search is changing ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews answer with a handful of cited sources. GEO gets you cited; SEO alone is not enough anymore.
04 90 d compounding ramp GEO/SEO is not a switch — it is a curve. The first 90 days build foundation. Months 4 through 12 are when traffic compounds materially.

SEO alone is not enough anymore — the AI layer decides who gets cited.


02How It Runs

From invisible to cited and ranked.

A four-step build that compounds. You see the trajectory in monthly reporting long before the revenue lift lands.

01 Audit + benchmark Current rankings, citations, schema, technical health, AI visibility (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity), competitor gap analysis.
02 Foundation build On-page SEO, schema markup (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ), Google Business Profile optimization, citation cleanup, AI-citable content structure.
03 Content + authority Topic-cluster content built for both human and AI search. Local landing pages per service area. Internal linking. Backlink outreach.
04 Measure + compound Monthly reporting on rankings (Google + AI engines), traffic, leads, calls. Course-correct based on what is moving.

04GEO + SEO Questions

Common visibility questions.

SEO optimizes for traditional search engines (Google, Bing) where the user clicks through to your site. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimizes for AI-powered search (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) where the engine answers the question by citing sources. They overlap but require different tactics — and AI search is growing fast.
GEO/SEO is a compounding curve, not a switch. Foundation work shows in 60–90 days. Material traffic and lead lift typically lands months 4 through 12. We report monthly so you see the trajectory long before the revenue lift.
No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who guarantees it. We can guarantee the work — schema, content, citations, technical foundation — that consistently moves rankings in your favor. Specific position-one promises in competitive verticals are dishonest.
No. We draft service-area pages, FAQ sections, and topic-cluster content in your voice. You approve before publish. Owners who want to add their own perspective on top can — most prefer to delegate.
They are complementary. Paid ads buy you the top of the funnel today; GEO/SEO compounds the funnel forever. Most clients run both, with paid carrying volume while organic builds. We can wire both into the same reporting cockpit.
Yes. Month-to-month after the initial 90-day foundation period. We bet on the work; you should not be locked in if the bet does not pay.
