The review
What our site review checks
We look at the same places your customers do, then write up what we find.
Money page rankings
We check whether your service and city pages show up on Google for the searches that bring calls.
Maps and Business Profile
We review your Google Business Profile, categories and details to see how you appear in Maps.
AI assistant answers
We ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity about your business and record what they say.
Visit to call path
We follow the path from site visit to phone call or form, and flag what gets in the way.

- Your phone is quiet, but competitors keep showing up in the Maps results.
- You search your own service and city, and your site is nowhere on page one.
- When you ask an AI assistant who to call in your town, it names someone else.
- Your Google Business Profile has old hours, wrong categories or missing services.
- People visit your site, but few tap the phone number or send the form.
- You had SEO work done before and never got a clear explanation of what changed.
Why AEO now
AI search engine optimization starts with pages that answer plainly
Buyers ask before they call
A homeowner with a failed pump now types the question to an assistant first, and often phones whichever business it names.
Assistants repeat what they can verify
They favor pages that state the service, the area and the contact route in the opening lines, and listings that agree with each other.
One story on every surface
Your site, profile and directory entries should describe the same company. When they conflict, rankings and AI mentions both suffer.
Services

Twenty-two services in four groups. Most clients use two or three, and the review tells you which.

FAQ
Straight answers about AEO
What is AEO, and what does an AEO agency do?
AEO is answer engine optimization: shaping your pages, markup and listings so search answers and assistants can state facts about your business. An AEO agency writes answer-first service pages, adds FAQ and local business schema, corrects the Google Business Profile, aligns directory entries and keeps a log of what assistants say before and after the work.
Do I still need regular SEO?
Yes. Assistants draw on the same crawlable, well-written pages that rank in normal results. We plan SEO and AEO as one set of improvements rather than two separate retainers.
How is AI search different from a Google results page?
A results page lists links and lets the buyer choose. An AI answer picks a few businesses and explains them in a sentence or two. That makes clear, consistent facts about your company more valuable, because there is less room to be chosen.
What do you need from me to start?
A website address is enough. Access to Search Console and your business profile helps, and you can grant it later once you are comfortable.
Can you work alongside my developer or agency?
Yes. We can write tickets for your developer, supply copy to your agency or make the edits ourselves, whichever suits how you work.
How do you show progress?
We track rankings, map positions, a fixed set of buyer questions put to AI tools, and the calls and forms your site produces. Changes are written up in plain language.
