Can I get AI Search on its own?

No. AI search sits on top of an SEO foundation, because AI systems overwhelmingly pull from pages that already rank. Running the layer without that foundation underneath it does not hold up, so AI Search comes as part of SEO + AI Search. Start with the SEO Retainer and add the layer when you are ready.

Do you write blog posts for our firm?

Every retainer includes 4 content outlines a month. The outlines are yours to write or hand to your writer. We also offer 100% human-written blog posts as an add-on option for your retainer.

Do you guarantee rankings or AI citations?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. We guarantee the work: the technical fixes, the content, the outreach, the monitoring. Rankings and citations are earned, not promised.

What do you report on?

SEO reporting comes from Search Console, GA4, Microsoft Clarity, and a few other tools. Our AI Search reporting adds prompt monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, citation and mention tracking, accuracy findings, and Microsoft's first-party Copilot citation data. Additional LLM tracking is available as an add-on.

Can I start with an audit first?

Yes. The AI Readiness Audit shows exactly where you stand, and the fee credits toward an SEO or AI Search retainer you start with us in the next 90 days.

Get ranked in Google and cited in AI search.

SEO is the foundation that gets your firm found and ranked. AI Search is the layer that makes sure AI finds you, reads you correctly, and recommends you.

WHY IT MATTERS

The firms that move now get cited and ranked.

Your prospects don't only type into Google anymore. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot which firm to trust, and they read Google's AI Overviews before they click anything. If your firm is invisible in those answers, or described wrong, you lose the client before you ever hear from them.

AI search doesn't replace SEO. It sits on top of it. AI systems overwhelmingly pull from pages that already rank, so a strong SEO foundation is what makes AI visibility possible in the first place.

Your firm's name is tied to licenses and reputations, so we don't buy placements, seed forums, or chase junk links. It is slower than the shortcuts. It is also the only kind that holds up in a field built on trust like yours.
