You getReporting you can read
Ask an AI assistant for a recommendation and it answers from what it can find and trust about you. This is what it looks like when your site, profile, and reviews are in order.
An example with a made-up winery: someone asks an AI assistant where to book a wine tasting, and the assistant recommends the winery and cites its website, Google Business Profile, and reviews. Beside it, a search results page where the same winery moves to the top result and its map pin is highlighted.
Search, maps, and AI answers run on the same foundation. I build all of it.

What are SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO gets you ranked in Google. AEO, answer engine optimization, gets you quoted in answer boxes and AI assistants. GEO, generative engine optimization, gets you recommended by tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. All three run on the same foundation: a fast, clear site and consistent information everywhere.
Do you work with businesses in Santa Barbara?
Yes. I'm based in Santa Barbara and work with businesses across Santa Barbara County, from Montecito, Goleta, and Carpinteria to the Santa Ynez Valley, plus clients across the US. Local clients can meet in person.
How much does it cost?
Every project is quoted on its scope: how many locations and listings, the state of your site, and how much content is needed. Send the form below and I'll reply with a written quote after a short call.
How long until I see results?
Listing cleanup and Google profile fixes show up fastest. Rankings and AI mentions build over months. Your quote lays out what to expect at each stage.
What do you do with Google Business Profile and Search Console?
Set up, verify, and optimize both. On your profile: categories, hours, photos, posts, and reviews. In Search Console: indexing, errors, and the searches that bring people to your site.
What does cleaning up my digital presence mean?
Finding every listing, profile, and directory with your name on it and making them match: name, address, phone, hours, and links. Mismatched details hurt rankings and confuse AI assistants.
Do I need a new website?
No. I work with the site you have. If it's holding you back, I'll tell you, and web design is available.
Can you guarantee first place?
No one honestly can. I focus on the work that moves rankings and AI answers, and I report what changes.
What industries do you work with?
Restaurants and bars, hotels and hospitality, wineries and breweries, ecommerce and retail, tours and charters, health and wellness, professional services, and entertainment and events.
