Next‑Gen SEO Services — Optimized for Search Engines and AI Results
Search has changed. It’s no longer just about ranking in Google — it’s about showing up wherever your customers are searching, from Google and Bing to AI‑powered assistants like Google SGE, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Whether you run a restaurant, a home service company (HVAC, plumbing, remodeling), a health & wellness business (gyms, med spas, chiropractors, therapists), or any other type of organization, your customers are searching in more places than ever.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — Explained
AI-driven search is here. We make sure you’re part of it
Our GEO approach makes sure your business is chosen as the answer.
Structure for AI — Organize pages, FAQs, and entities so assistants can parse, reuse, and cite your brand.
Answer real questions — Provide concise, authoritative responses to what customers actually ask.
Enrich with schema — Use LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, Product, and HowTo markup so AI understands your offers and location.
Publish cite-worthy resources — Create content that earns mentions inside AI summaries and snapshots.
Why GEO Matters Now
Search is shifting — Customers are turning to Google SGE, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT, and Perplexity for direct answers. Not long lists of links.
Summaries steal clicks — If you’re not included in the AI summary, you may never be seen, even with traditional rankings.
Local authority wins — Consistent NAP, reviews, and localized content help assistants trust you for queries like “SEO near me,” “web design near me,” and “best marketing agency near me.”
Entity signals compound — Clean site architecture and structured data increase your chances of being recognized, trusted, and cited.
⚠ The Risk of Ignoring GEO: If your brand isn’t optimized for generative search, you risk being invisible in the very results your customers are starting to use most. Early adopters will secure these positions while competitors play catch‑up.

Results that speak for themselves
We measure our success by our clients’ wins. Here’s what they have to say:
FAQs
Is SEO still worth it, or should we just run ads?
Use both if you can. SEO builds durable visibility and trust, and ads give reach on demand.
- SEO compounds: Helpful pages and FAQs can lift branded and non-brand impressions in Google Search Console (GSC) over 30 to 90 days.
- Ads for speed: Test offers and keywords quickly, then scale what hits your Cost Per Lead (CPL) target.
- How it works together: We test headlines, offers, and objections with ads in days, then turn winners into page titles, H1s, FAQs, and internal links. As those pages rank, organic leads grow and your average CPL drops because you rely less on paid clicks.
- Track it: GSC for queries and pages, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for leads and assisted conversions.
Do we need a full website redesign to improve SEO?
- Redesign only if site architecture or UX blocks growth.
- Keep what works, replace what blocks crawl, speed, or clarity.
- Content still wins: a data-driven, well-researched keyword strategy plus answer-first content is the biggest long-term lever for SEO. We prioritize topics by search intent, estimated difficulty, and potential traffic.
How long does SEO take to work for a local service business?
- Quick wins: indexation fixes, internal links, titles and headings, and Core Web Vitals improvements.
- Compounding: topical coverage, reviews, consistent business info, and trusted mentions.
- Measure it: priority keyword positions, page impressions and clicks in GSC, and leads tracked in GA4.
Can I do SEO myself, or do I need an agency?
- DIY baseline: 2 to 4 hours per week for edits, content, and checks in Google Search Console (GSC) and Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
- Tools reality: paid suites like Semrush or Ahrefs, plus crawlers/reporting, and the skill to interpret gap reports and turn them into a content plan.
- Competitive research: we run keyword gap, content gap, and backlink gap analyses, then translate findings into a topic map and internal link strategy.
- Our loop: plan → publish → read results → adjust every 1 to 2 weeks.
How much does SEO cost per month, and what do we actually get?
- Typical inclusions: audit, indexation and speed improvements, answer-first pages with clear FAQs and a small table, internal links, and simple progress notes.
- Pricing varies by competition, content needs, and technical work.
- Want specifics, contact us for a free SEO audit and quote.
How do we show up in Google’s AI Overviews and other AI answers?
Publish clear, complete answers on your site, then keep facts consistent across profiles.
- Structure pages answer-first, add a small table or checklist, and use relevant schema where appropriate.
- Keep Name, Address, Phone number (NAP) and services consistent on your site and profiles, including Google Business Profile. Full profile optimization and management is separate; learn more here: San Antonio Google Business Profile Management.
- Use short recap video when helpful so answers are easy to scan.
- Helpful reference: Google’s guidance on creating helpful, reliable, people-first content (source).
What does a realistic first 30 days of SEO look like?
Light audit and quick fixes first, then answer-first content, internal links, and structured data.
- Week 1: crawl and index checks in Google Search Console (GSC), analytics cleanup in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), and priority fixes.
- Weeks 2–3: strengthen internal links and headings, improve Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and add essential schema markup (JSON-LD) on priority pages (for example, Organization/LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage or Article) so answers are machine-readable. For Core Web Vitals basics, see Google’s overview (source).
- Week 4: publish 1 to 2 answer-rich pages or blog posts, then set the month-two plan from early signals (queries, clicks, rankings).
How do you measure success?
Keep it simple: ranks, visibility, and leads.
Rank position tracking on priority topics.
- Google Search Console (GSC) for page-level impressions and clicks, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for key events such as form submissions and booked calls.
- Note appearances in AI answers that cite sources when you see them.
- Want a plan for your site, contact us for a free SEO audit and quote.
