Search is changing fast. We optimize your site for both traditional search engines and the AI assistants your customers are already using to find businesses like yours.
Why most sites don't rank
Most small business websites in Ohio were built without SEO in mind. They load slowly, have no structured data, use vague page titles, and are effectively invisible to search engines — let alone AI assistants.
At the same time, the way people search is shifting. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews now answer questions directly — and if your site isn't structured for those answers, you don't exist in that channel at all.
Two channels, one strategy
They work together — and ignoring either one means leaving visibility on the table.
Traditional SEO focuses on making your site easier for Google and Bing to crawl, understand, and rank. When someone searches for your service, you show up.
This includes technical fixes, keyword-optimized page content, proper heading structure, fast load times, and local signals like Google Business Profile.
AEO structures your content so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity can extract and cite your business as a direct answer — not just a link in a list.
This means JSON-LD structured data, FAQPage schema, LocalBusiness markup, and content written to match the natural-language questions AI models process.
Every site we optimize gets full AEO implementation — not just SEO. That means structured data Google and AI assistants can parse, FAQ content written to answer the questions your customers are actually asking, and LocalBusiness schema that tells AI exactly who you are and where you operate.
Most SEO agencies don't touch AEO yet. We've been building it in from the start — because the businesses that do this now will own that channel before their competitors even know it exists.

What's included
No fluff, no vanity metrics. Every deliverable is tied to visibility and traffic.
A full crawl of your site identifying broken links, slow pages, missing meta tags, duplicate content, crawl errors, and anything else holding back your rankings.
Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt text, internal linking — every page optimized for its target keyword with clean, readable copy.
JSON-LD implementation for LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Service, BreadcrumbList, and more. This is what powers both rich results in Google and citations in AI assistants.
Google Business Profile optimization, NAP consistency across directories, local citation building, and location-specific page strategy for your city and surrounding area.
FAQ sections written to match natural-language AI queries, content structured to answer the specific questions your customers are asking AI assistants right now.
Clear, plain-English reports showing ranking movement, traffic trends, and what we're working on next — no dashboards full of meaningless numbers.
How it works
A methodical approach that builds sustainable visibility — not quick fixes that vanish with the next algorithm update.
We start with a full technical audit of your site and a baseline of your current rankings, traffic, and visibility. This tells us exactly where you stand, what's broken, and where the biggest opportunities are. You get a prioritized list of issues before we do anything else.
We research the specific terms your customers type into Google and the questions they ask AI assistants. These are often different — and optimizing for both is the core of a dual-channel strategy. We map keywords to pages and identify gaps where new content would drive traffic.
We implement the technical fixes from the audit and optimize every page for its target keyword — titles, headings, copy, images, internal links. For sites we host, we handle this directly. For external sites, we deliver clear implementation notes your developer can act on immediately.
We implement JSON-LD schema across your site — LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Service, BreadcrumbList, and any applicable content types. We also write or restructure FAQ content to match the natural-language queries AI assistants receive for your category and location.
SEO compounds over time. Each month we review ranking movement, adjust our strategy based on what's working, and tackle the next priority. You receive a plain-English report every month — no jargon, no spin, just what happened and what's next.
Setting expectations
We'd rather set realistic expectations upfront than oversell results we can't guarantee.
Most businesses see meaningful ranking movement in 3–6 months. Technical fixes can show results faster. AEO citations from AI assistants can appear within weeks of proper schema implementation. Anyone promising page-one rankings in 30 days is lying to you.
No link farms, no keyword stuffing, no tricks that work for three months then get your site penalized. Everything we do follows Google's guidelines — because sustainable rankings are the only ones worth having.
Most businesses in Ohio haven't touched AEO yet. The businesses that structure their content for AI citations now will own that channel before their competitors know it exists. The window to get ahead is open — but it won't stay that way.
No black boxes. Every month you get a clear report showing what we worked on, what moved, and what's next. If something isn't working, we tell you — and we adjust. You're never left wondering if your investment is doing anything.
Within two months of launch, ChatGPT started recommending our business when people asked about services in our area. I didn't even know that was possible until b19.dev explained AEO to us.
