SEO for Google. GEO for the AI search era.
Search is splitting into two surfaces — the blue links Google has always shown, and the AI-generated answers ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity now serve. We optimize for both. Technical SEO, content strategy, schema, and the new GEO discipline of getting cited by AI assistants.
What separates a good seo + geo engagement from a bad one.
Four things we get right on every seo + geo account.
Technical foundation first
Core Web Vitals, indexability, schema, internal linking, sitemaps — the unglamorous infrastructure that determines whether the rest of SEO matters at all.
Content for both audiences
Humans skim. AI assistants extract. We brief content that ranks in classic SERPs AND gets cited in AI answers — different headings, different structure, different metadata.
GEO is real now
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity now drive a measurable share of qualified discovery. The mechanics of getting cited are different from PageRank, and we know them.
Honest about timeframes
SEO is 6-12 months for new domains, 3-6 for established sites. If anyone promises faster, ask harder questions.

The Loop in action.
The same operating principle Buddy uses on every client account — applied to your engagement.
Clarify before acting
We narrow scope before any data pull. Which accounts, which date range, which KPIs matter most. No assumptions.
Top-down analysis
Account-level summary first. We don't lead with data dumps — we lead with what the numbers actually mean for your business.
Preview before execute
Every meaningful change gets a confirmation step with projected impact. You approve the move. Then Buddy executes.
Label for rollback
Every change is timestamped + labeled. One-click undo. Full change history that survives team turnover.
By the numbers.

What's GEO and why do I need it?
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — is the discipline of getting your business cited as a source by AI search assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity). These assistants now drive measurable qualified traffic and increasingly shape how people make decisions. The mechanics are different from classic SEO: different headings, different schema, different content structures. We do both.
How long until SEO results show?
Established domains: 3-6 months for keyword shifts to show. New domains: 6-12 months for meaningful organic traction. Anyone promising faster is either lying or planning to do something Google will penalize you for.
Do you do link building?
We do outreach + digital PR, not link-buying. Sustainable backlinks come from being citation-worthy, not from networks. We'll be honest about what we'll do and what we won't.
