📈 RANK — Search Optimization

SEO That Works on Google
AND in AI Answers

Most SEO agencies are stuck in 2019. We optimize for all three channels where people actually find businesses today: traditional search, AI assistants, and AI Overviews. One strategy. Complete visibility.

Three Types of Search. One Agency.

The way people find businesses has changed permanently. Here's what we optimize for — and why each one matters.

01

TRADITIONAL SEO

Google Blue Links & Local Pack

The foundation. On-page optimization, technical SEO, backlink building, local citations, and Google Business Profile. Still essential — still delivers leads.

  • Keyword research & content strategy
  • Technical site audit & fixes
  • Google Business Profile optimization
  • Local citations & link building
  • Monthly reporting on rankings & traffic
02

AI SEO (AIO)

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude

When someone asks an AI assistant "who's the best web designer in Chicago?" — we make sure the answer includes you. AI SEO is about becoming the source AI systems trust and cite.

  • Structured data & schema markup
  • E-E-A-T content optimization
  • Authority building across the web
  • AI-friendly content formatting
  • Citation audit & reputation signals
03

GEO

Google AI Overviews & Generative Search

Google's AI Overview boxes now appear before organic results on many searches. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) ensures your business is the one featured — not your competitor.

  • AI Overview appearance optimization
  • Featured snippet targeting
  • Concise, authoritative content structure
  • Knowledge graph signals
  • Entity optimization for your brand

Common Questions

Plain answers to things people actually ask us.

What is the difference between SEO, AI SEO, and GEO?

Traditional SEO optimizes your site to rank in Google's regular blue-link results. AI SEO (AIO) gets you cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity when people ask questions. GEO specifically targets the AI Overview boxes that appear at the top of Google searches before any organic results.

All three are now essential because people search differently — sometimes on Google, sometimes asking an AI, sometimes both. Missing any channel means missing real customers.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Traditional SEO typically shows meaningful ranking improvements in 3–6 months, with compounding growth over 12+ months. Local SEO can move faster — sometimes 4–8 weeks for local pack changes.

AI SEO and GEO can be faster — AI systems crawl and update their knowledge more frequently than Google's full ranking algorithm cycles. We track progress monthly and adjust the strategy based on what's actually moving.

Do you provide SEO for Polish-language websites?

Yes — we are fully bilingual (English and Polish) and have deep expertise in SEO for Polish-American businesses in Chicago and nationwide. This includes keyword research in Polish, Polish-language content optimization, and targeting the specific search patterns of the Polish-American community.

What does SEO cost?

SEO pricing varies based on competition level, goals, and scope. We offer packages that work for small local businesses as well as larger multi-location companies. We're transparent about pricing — contact us and we'll give you a specific quote for your situation, not a generic range designed to sound affordable while hiding the real cost.

One thing we promise: no 12-month lock-in contracts with no outs. We earn your business every month.

Can you optimize a site built on WordPress?

Yes — we work with WordPress, custom-coded sites, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and everything else. WordPress is actually ideal for SEO with the right plugins and structure, and we've been working with it since its early days.
