Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from regular SEO?
We optimize for both Google AND AI search engines like ChatGPT using the same proven fundamentals. When someone searches on Google or asks AI for recommendations, you show up.
What's the difference between ranking on Google vs. AI search engines?
Google shows links to websites. AI tools like ChatGPT directly quote and recommend businesses. When someone asks "best plumber near me," you want to BE the answer AI gives, not just one of 10 website links they might click.
How is this different from other SEO companies?
We focus on what works (backlinks, speed, good content) instead of chasing fake AI search trends that others are pitching.
Do you create robotic AI content?
Never. AI helps us write faster, but everything sounds like YOU, not ChatGPT.
What if AI search is just a fad?
Even if it were (which data shows it's not), you'd still have better traditional SEO than ever. But with 36M+ Americans using AI search daily, the upside is enormous.
How fast do you get results?
Most clients see ranking improvements in 30-60 days in both traditional search engines and AI engines. Very noticeable results in 3-6 months.
