Most local businesses need just 1-2 new clients per month to see positive ROI on Growth. If AI search sends you even one client that you wouldn't have gotten otherwise, the math works.

FAQ

Common questions

The setup fee covers your onboarding: a comprehensive technical SEO audit, competitive analysis, AI visibility baseline audit (your first SignalScore), keyword research, content strategy development, schema markup implementation, and account setup for tracking and reporting tools. This foundational work typically takes 2-3 weeks and sets the stage for everything that follows.

For GEO (AI search optimization), you can typically see increased AI citations within 4-8 weeks. Traditional SEO results build over 3-6 months with consistent strategy execution. Our combined SEO + GEO approach accelerates results because improvements in one channel reinforce the other. You receive your baseline SignalScore within the first two weeks, so you can track progress from day one.

SignalScore gives you visibility into progress from day one — not just at month 6. You will see your baseline audit scores within 2 weeks, dimension-by-dimension improvements at 30 and 60 days, and a comprehensive before-and-after report at 90 days. Because we measure across 5 AI visibility dimensions, you always know exactly what is improving, what needs attention, and what we are doing about it. There are no surprises.

After your initial commitment, the engagement continues month-to-month with 30-day notice to cancel. Most clients continue because the ROI is clear by that point — GEO results compound over time as your AI citation authority builds. Starting later means your competitors have more months of compounding that you will need to overcome.

Every plan includes both SEO and AI visibility — the difference is depth. Foundations covers the essentials: SEO, content, and monthly AI check-ins. Growth adds active GEO optimization and SignalScore audits — this is where most local businesses start. Authority adds competitor tracking, more content, and direct access to our technical co-founder for businesses that want to own their market.

Yes. Every plan builds on the one before it — the SEO and AI visibility work carries over when you upgrade. If you start with Foundations and want to add active GEO optimization, moving to Growth is seamless.

Three things. First, we specialize in GEO for local businesses — not B2B SaaS, not enterprise. Only a handful of agencies do this. Second, we are a family-owned agency in Woodbury, Minnesota — a father-son team that lives and works in the same communities we serve. Third, our technical co-founder Tony has 30 years of enterprise technology experience, 12+ published books, and has built 30+ production AI systems. That depth means we build our own tools — we do not resell someone else's platform.
