Local SEO, AEO and GEO for Bay Area businesses
Search visibility. Buyers see you first.
I ran $54M+ in P&L across BCD Tofu House, Gen Korean Barbecue, Sake2Me Sushi, and Obaba Fresh, so I build local search the way an operator reads a P&L. Google Business Profile, citations, on-page, content, and AI-answer visibility. No annual contract.
How you get this
Search visibility is delivered inside SEOD Growth, scoped after a Business Growth Review because the right mix depends on the business. Launch search foundations are part of every SEOD Foundation build.
Local SEO, AEO and GEO: the whole local search stack, one team.
Google, the map pack, and the AI answers, covered end to end. No piecemeal add-ons.
Google Business Profile
Categories, photos, posts, hours, and review responses. The single biggest lever for "near me" visibility, worked every week.
Local SEO foundation
Citations, NAP consistency across directories, and map-pack targeting for the searches that matter to the business.
On-page and technical
Titles, headings, schema, internal links, and site speed. The fixes that let Google read and rank the pages you already have.
Content that ranks
Service pages and city pages built to answer a real search and book a real customer, not to pad a word count.
AEO and GEO
Structured answers and entity signals so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview cite you, not just the ten blue links.
Weekly reporting
Keyword position, calls, and the single next fix that moves the needle. You see the curve, not a vanity dashboard.
Built for operators, not marketers.
- Bay Area service businesses that live or die by "near me" searches
- Owners burned by an agency that hid the work behind a monthly retainer
- Restaurants, dental, med spa, home services, and nonprofits
- Anyone who wants a published price, not a 45-minute discovery call
- Operators who want AI-answer visibility, not just blue links
- Businesses ready to grow month to month, no annual lock-in
How this is delivered now
Search visibility is a capability inside SEOD Growth, not a separate package ladder. The old maintenance tiers are retired.
What that means in practice: we review the business first, work out whether search is actually the constraint, and scope the search work as part of a Growth plan. Sometimes the honest answer is that the site cannot convert the traffic it already has, in which case SEOD Foundation comes first.
Three quick wins, in client words.
