Updated October 2026
SEO (search engine optimization) is the work of helping your website and Google Business Profile rank higher in Google search and Google Maps, so more local customers find you when they search for what you sell.
GEO is optimizing your business so AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity understand it, trust it and recommend it when people ask for suggestions, like "best marketing agency in Saratoga Springs."
AEO is structuring your website so search engines and AI assistants can pull direct answers from it. That means clear, answer-first content, FAQs and schema markup that tell them exactly who you are, what you offer, where and at what price.
SEO and AI search optimization starts at $800 as a one-time fee, with no monthly contract. The final price depends on the size of your website and how competitive your market is, and we'll give you a clear quote on your free consultation call.
Most businesses start seeing movement in two to three months, with stronger rankings and traffic building over six months or more. Quick wins, like fixing your Google Business Profile and adding schema markup, can show results sooner.
