SEO in the Sacramento area generally ranges from around $750 per month for local SEO to several thousand for competitive, content-heavy campaigns, with most engagements landing between $1,000 and $5,000 per month. We scope each plan to your market, competition, and goals, so you only pay for the work that moves the needle.

SEO is a compounding investment, not an instant switch. Most businesses see early movement in 60 to 90 days and meaningful ranking and traffic gains within four to six months, with results continuing to build over time. Local SEO and AI visibility can move faster than competitive national terms.

AI search optimization makes your business discoverable in AI-driven answers. Generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) structure your content, data, and reputation so tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity can understand and cite you. It's the natural extension of SEO as search shifts toward AI answers.

AI answers pull from well-structured content, authoritative sources, an accurate Google Business Profile, and consistent reviews and citations. We optimize your content to directly answer the questions buyers ask, add structured data and entity signals, and strengthen your off-site presence so AI engines surface and cite your business.

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking your pages in search results. AI search optimization focuses on getting your business quoted inside AI-generated answers. They share a foundation of quality content, technical health, and authority, so we do them together rather than treating AI search as separate.

Yes, and for Sacramento businesses it's one of the highest-impact things we do. We optimize your Google Business Profile, manage categories and information, build local citations, and help you earn and respond to reviews, all of which strengthen map rankings and local AI answers.

Technical SEO makes sure search engines and AI can crawl, understand, and trust your site. It covers site speed, mobile usability, indexing, site structure, and structured data. If the technical foundation is broken, even great content struggles to rank, so it's usually where we start.

Yes. We research the topics and questions your customers search, then write SEO content and on-page copy designed both to rank and to be quoted by AI. You review it before it publishes.

Yes, through legitimate methods: digital PR, local citations, partnerships, and earning links with genuinely useful content. We avoid spammy link schemes that put your site at risk, because authority built the right way lasts.

We track keyword rankings, organic traffic, local map visibility, AI citations, and most importantly the calls and form fills that come from organic search, using Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, and call tracking. Reports translate the data into plain-language insights and next steps.

Yes. Everything we create lives on your site and in accounts you own. If we ever part ways, you keep all the content, optimizations, and data.

No reputable agency can, because Google and AI engines control the algorithms. What we guarantee is a sound strategy, transparent work, and measurable progress toward more visibility, traffic, and leads. Anyone promising guaranteed number one rankings is a red flag.

We use industry-standard tools including Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 for performance, Ahrefs or Semrush for keyword and backlink research, and structured-data and site-audit tools for technical work. As a client you don't need to buy or manage any of them.

Yes, selectively. We use AI to speed up research, drafting, and first-pass content, then a human editor fact-checks, adds expertise, and aligns it to your brand and search intent. AI accelerates the work; it never replaces the quality and accuracy that both Google and AI engines reward.

Paid ads buy visibility instantly and stop the moment you stop paying. SEO and AI search optimization build durable visibility that compounds over time and keeps working without per-click costs. Many businesses run both, using ads for immediate leads while SEO builds long-term equity.

We work month-to-month because we'd rather earn your business with results. SEO compounds, so most clients stay through the period where it pays off, but you're never locked in to get started.

We start with an audit. Most sites need optimization rather than a rebuild, and we fix technical issues, content, and structure in place. If the site itself is holding you back, we'll tell you and can handle a redesign through our web design service.

Home services and contractors, healthcare, dental, and med spa, legal, insurance, and financial services, local retail and restaurants, real estate, and B2B. We tailor keywords, content, and local strategy to how each industry's customers search.

Yes. We're headquartered in the Sacramento area and serve Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Fair Oaks, Citrus Heights, Rocklin, and the greater Northern California region, plus clients nationwide.

We build on best practices and genuine quality rather than loopholes, which is the best protection against updates. When a major update lands, we monitor your rankings, diagnose any impact, and adjust, and we keep you informed in plain language rather than leaving you guessing.

In the first 90 days we typically fix technical issues, optimize key pages, strengthen your Google Business Profile, publish foundational content, and start building authority. You should see early ranking movement and traffic gains, with the larger compounding results following in months four through twelve.

A growing share of searches now end in an AI answer instead of a list of links, which means buyers may decide who to call without ever clicking a website. If your business isn't structured to be understood and cited by AI engines, you can lose visibility even while ranking well in traditional results. Optimizing for both protects and grows your reach.
