Six services, sold as one system. For most Charlotte small businesses the sensible starting point is a local SEO and AI search foundation, adding a website build only if the current one is holding things back.
Take one or take the lot. For most owners local SEO plus AI search is the right place to begin, with a build added later if it’s warranted.
Own the three-mile radius that actually pays your bills. We target the “near me” and neighbourhood searches your buyers use when they're ready to call, not just browsing.
Best for: trades, clinics, firms and studios serving a defined Charlotte-area radius.
Also called GEO — generative engine optimization. When a customer asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot or Perplexity for a recommendation, this is the work that gets your name in the answer.
Best for: anyone whose customers research before buying. Which is nearly everyone now.
A fast, modern site that loads in under two seconds and is built from the first line to rank. No bloated page builders, no template you've seen on four other Charlotte businesses.
Best for: sites older than four years, or anything that feels slow on a phone.
For a local business this is often the single highest-ROI asset you own, and it’s usually the one that was set up once years ago and never touched again. We run it properly.
Best for: any business with a physical location or a defined service area.
The pages and answers that make you the obvious choice — written for a human buyer first and structured so both Google and AI models can lift them cleanly.
Best for: businesses with strong word-of-mouth but a thin, dated website.
You should never have to guess whether this is working. Calls, forms and their sources, on one page, in English, once a month.
Best for: owners burned by an agency that couldn't prove its value.
You are busy. The process is built around that constraint, not around my convenience.
We get on a call and I pull your business up live — rankings, map pack position, site speed, and whether AI assistants mention you at all. You leave with a written summary and a straight answer on whether I can help. No deck, no pressure, and you keep the audit either way.
One longer conversation about your best customers, your margins and the jobs you actually want more of. I come back with a 90-day plan that names specific keywords, specific pages and specific competitors — with a realistic estimate of when you'll see movement.
This is where I disappear and work. Technical fixes, page builds, profile rebuild, schema, citations, content, review flow. You'll get a short note each week with what shipped. Technical and profile fixes generally move soonest; content and authority take longer. You'll get my honest read on the timeline for your situation on the audit call, not an average borrowed from someone else's client base.
A one-page report and a 15-minute call each month: what came in, where it came from, what we're doing next. Search changes constantly — especially AI search — so the plan gets adjusted, not repeated. Month-to-month after the first 90 days.
Honestly? It depends on your competition, your current site and how neglected your Google Business Profile is — and I'm not going to quote you an average from a client base I don't have yet. What I can tell you is the shape of it: technical and profile fixes tend to register soonest because they're the fastest for Google to re-crawl, while content and authority build over months, not weeks. On the audit call I'll give you a specific estimate for your situation and tell you what would make me wrong. Anyone promising you page one in a fortnight is either lying or about to get your site penalised.
AI search optimization, or GEO, is the work of making your business legible to AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity so they can recommend you by name and link to your site. A growing share of buyers now ask an AI before they ever open Google. If your competitors get named in that answer and you don't, you never enter the consideration set. So yes — if your customers research before they buy, you need it.
Three structural differences. You work directly with the person doing the work, so nothing gets handed to a junior. You're month-to-month after the first 90 days, so I have to keep earning it. And you own every asset, login and domain, so leaving costs you nothing but a goodbye email.
About 45 minutes up front for the deep dive, then roughly 30 minutes a month. I'll ask for photos, the occasional detail only you know, and a quick approval here and there. That's it.
Often no. If your current site is reasonably fast and structurally sound, we optimise what's there and put the budget into visibility instead. I'll tell you honestly on the audit call. Rebuilds usually make sense when a site is over four years old, painfully slow on mobile, or built on a platform that blocks technical SEO work.
Charlotte and the surrounding metro are home turf — Matthews, Huntersville, Concord, Ballantyne, Mint Hill, Pineville, Fort Mill and Rock Hill. I’ll take work elsewhere in the Carolinas, but local knowledge is a real advantage and I'd rather be the specialist in one market than a generalist everywhere.
Local SEO retainers start at $850 a month, AI search optimization at $650 a month as a standalone, and website builds start at $3,200 one-time. Most small businesses will land between $900 and $1,800 a month all-in. You'll get an exact number on the audit call, before you commit to anything.
There's a 90-day initial runway, because SEO genuinely cannot prove itself in 30 days and I won't take money pretending otherwise. After that it's month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No auto-renew traps.
Twenty minutes, your business pulled up live, and an honest read on where the opportunity is. You keep the write-up whether we work together or not.
