GEO / AEO philosophy
Spicy Margarita says it was built by people who never worked in agencies and who come from in-house SaaS teams, so it treats every account like an in-house growth hire.
It sells ongoing retainers tied to revenue results. The agency is new and its quotes and results are self-published, so its track record is shorter than most agencies here.

Review Excerpts
“I view selecting Ben and the Spicy Margarita team to run our SEO and content as among the top 3 decisions I've made in 16 years of doing business.”
“Working with Spicy Margarita has fundamentally changed our search presence in a very short time. They scaled content production fast, and truly understood our brand & positioning, representing Rillion the way we would. In the past three months alone, we've added +90 high-intent keywords ranking in positions 1–3. We're seeing around 40% visibility in AI Overviews and LLM-generated results.”
“We ranked #1 for nearly all of our key search terms, which honestly felt like a dream come true for me. We saw tremendous growth in new paid customers, and the results were undeniable. We outrank our key competitors because of you!”
