What changed
Search didn't die. It got answered.
Google now answers a large share of queries before anyone scrolls. ChatGPT is where millions of buyers start their research. Perplexity cites sources instead of listing them. The click you used to compete for is being replaced by a mention — and mentions are won differently than rankings.
That's the gap most websites are falling into. They were built for a search engine that no longer behaves the way it did when they launched.
| Then | Now | What it means for you |
|---|---|---|
| Rank in the top 10 | Get cited in the answer | Structure beats volume |
| Keywords on a page | Entities the model understands | Your brand needs to be knowable |
| Traffic is the metric | Mentions and qualified visits are the metric | Fewer visitors, higher intent |
What we do
Four disciplines. One system.
Most studios sell these separately and hope they add up. We build them as one stack, because a beautiful site nobody can find and a well-optimized site nobody trusts fail the same way.
Why our pricing looks low
How it works
From kickoff to compounding results in 90 days.
Audit
We benchmark your site against Core Web Vitals, crawlability, schema coverage, and current visibility across Google and four AI engines. You get the findings whether or not you hire us.
Strategy
Positioning, sitemap, entity map, keyword and question clusters, and a measurable target for each. You approve before a pixel moves.
Design
Homepage concept first, then the full system. Real content, real components, in Figma. Two revision rounds included.
Build
Next.js, Tailwind, and motion. Schema, llms.txt, and answer blocks are built in, not bolted on. Staging link from day one.
Grow
Content, authority, citations, and CRO. Monthly report covering rankings, AI mentions, and pipeline.

Results
What good looks like
Every case study here carries evidence: real PageSpeed reports, real analytics exports, and the same prompt set measured before and after. Where a client prefers not to be named, we anonymize the company and keep the numbers.
Before and after, measured
Load time and Lighthouse scores from real PageSpeed reports, captured on the live site before we started and after launch. Screenshots included, not retyped numbers.
One business metric
Leads, conversion rate, qualified consultations, or revenue — pulled from the client's own analytics, not from a rank tracker.
AI visibility movement
Mention rate across the engines we track, measured on the same prompt set before and after, so the change is comparable rather than anecdotal.
Case studies are being prepared.

FAQ
The questions we get on every first call
Straight answers, including the ones that don't flatter us.
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring content so search engines can extract a direct answer from it. It targets featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, Google's AI Overviews, and voice assistants. In practice it means clear question-based headings, concise 40–60 word answers, structured data, and factual precision.
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
GEO is the practice of increasing how often a brand is cited or recommended inside AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. It combines on-site machine readability — schema, clean HTML, llms.txt, retrievable content chunks — with off-site signals like third-party mentions, reviews, and citations in sources these models trust.
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for ranking positions in a list of links. GEO optimizes for inclusion in a synthesized answer where there is often only one recommendation. SEO rewards authority and relevance; GEO additionally rewards clarity, citability, and consistent brand information across the wider web.
How long does a website project take?
Most sites launch in 6–10 weeks. A focused 5–8 page site can ship in 4 weeks. Larger builds with custom functionality, e-commerce, or a content migration from an existing site typically run 10–14 weeks, depending on scope and how much content needs writing.
How much does a website cost?
Most of our website projects fall between $2,450 and $9,500 USD depending on page count, custom functionality, and content needs. Ongoing SEO, AEO, and GEO retainers start at $795/month. That's roughly half what a comparable US agency charges, because we're a solo-led studio with no overhead to pass on to you.
Do you work with clients outside your time zone?
Yes. We work US business hours and schedule calls in ET, CT, MT, and PT. Live calls are available 9:00am–1:00pm ET Monday through Friday, with evening slots by appointment for clients further east or west. Every message gets a reply within one business day, wherever you are.
Do we own the website when it's finished?
Yes — the code, the repository, the domain, and every account. We hand over full access at launch, documented on a recorded handover call, with credentials transferred directly and nothing held back. There's no ongoing dependency on us to keep the site running or make future changes.
Can you improve our existing site instead of rebuilding it?
Often, yes. If your site is on a modern framework with a healthy technical foundation, we'll optimize rather than rebuild — new schema, restructured content, and a speed pass, without touching what already works. The audit tells us which is smarter, and we'll tell you honestly even when rebuilding is the bigger invoice.
