Offering
- SEO, local SEO, GEO, and agentic search as one stack.
- Dashboards aimed at cost-per-lead, traffic value, and ranking rather than vanity AI mentions.
- ASO pages that describe custom tracking protocols where off-the-shelf analytics lag.
GEO / AEO philosophy
Measurement honesty is the product: say what can be measured and what cannot.
GEO is an overlay on SMB lead-gen SEO, not a separate thought-leadership studio.
Best At
- GEO measured as cost-per-lead and traffic value
- SMB healthcare, home services, SaaS, and professional services
- dashboards that show SEO, GEO, and agentic search together
Poor Fit When
- the work is enterprise information retrieval
- the brief is a thought-leadership studio
- the buyer is an AEC firm that needs RFP-fluent construction GEO
Clients
Unnamed SaaS client (as reported by RankTracker)Claimed
RankTracker reports a 122% organic-growth increase over six months and a 3x return on content strategy. Client unnamed in that write-up.
Innovation
The useful innovation is reporting discipline on an immature channel, not a novel retrieval theory.
Commercial motion
Sells unified SEO/GEO/ASO where every lead is visible. Wrong center of gravity for enterprise IR or AEC-only work.
Attributed comments
“I can open the dashboard any day and see exactly what they are working on and what it is producing.”
Anonymized SaaS founder, as published by RankTracker
“They care about qualified leads instead of traffic charts. Our sales team noticed the jump in lead quality within a couple of months.”
