Local SEO & AI Search Optimization
Get found by people searching — and by the AI answering them.
Your website plus keyword and competitor research, technical fixes, ranking pages and answers AI search can cite. $200 a month, site included.
What it solves
Real problems, plainly solved.
The problem
You rank on page two or three, so customers searching for exactly what you sell never see you.
What we do
We research what your market actually types, fix what is holding the site back technically, and build pages that answer those searches directly.
You move onto page one for the terms that bring buyers, not just traffic.
The problem
People ask AI for a recommendation in your trade and your business is never mentioned.
What we do
We structure your content and data so answer engines can read, trust, and quote it — schema, clear factual answers, and consistent citations across the web.
You start appearing in AI answers, where a single response replaces a page of results.
The problem
You paid for SEO before and never saw what changed or whether it worked.
What we do
You get a monthly report on rankings, traffic, and AI citations, in plain language, with what we did and what is next.
You can tell month to month whether the money is working.

By town
Local SEO, close to home.
We are based in Clarkston and most of our work is within an hour of it, Macomb and St. Clair counties included. Each town has its own page with the local market numbers, what the alternatives cost there, and where we would start.
Common questions
Local SEO & AI Search, answered.
- What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
- SEO gets you ranked in a list of results. AEO (answer engine optimization) gets you into the direct answer — a featured snippet, a voice result, or an AI Overview. GEO (generative engine optimization) is about being cited by generative tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity when someone asks them to recommend a business. They share a foundation, so we work all three together rather than selling them separately.
- Is this not already included in the website plan?
- It is the $200 tier of the same package, not a separate retainer. The $100 simple website gets you a fast, managed site; this tier adds keyword and competitor research, pages built for specific searches, technical work and the answer-engine optimization that gets you cited, plus Google Business Profile and map-pack optimization.
- How much does local SEO cost in Michigan?
- Ours is $200 a month with the website included. Agency local SEO retainers run $501 to $3,000 a month for search alone, per published 2026 pricing. There is no long contract, and your Google profile and reviews stay yours.
- How long before I see results?
- Technical fixes and Google Business Profile work can move things within weeks. Ranking for competitive local terms usually takes three to six months of consistent work. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is either targeting terms nobody searches or is about to do something that gets you penalized.
- Do you do SEO for a specific town?
- Yes. Most of our work is local — Clarkston, Lake Orion, Oxford, Ortonville, Holly, and Fenton, which is the M-15 and M-24 corridors of north Oakland County into Genesee County, plus Oakland County generally and, since 2026, Macomb and St. Clair counties. We build around the towns you actually serve, which is usually a much smaller list than businesses assume.
