Search changed. Your customers now ask AI.

If AI recommends your competitors, rankings alone won't bring the calls back

Buyers now get answers from Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini before they ever see a list of links. Those answers decide which businesses make the shortlist.

We find out how AI tools describe your business today, compare it with how they describe your competitors, and fix what’s holding you back: your content, structured data and the business facts AI tools rely on.

I've recently started working with SEO Design, my fourth provider in the past 10 years. All I can say is that I wish I'd made the switch so much sooner. They have been absolutely amazing!! In particular, they are readily available to speak with me, are unbelievably prompt in making changes/updates to my site, and have provided invaluable expertise regarding how to promote my work. I have already gotten so much more than I paid for. If you are looking for a provider, you HAVE to contact SEO Design.

They delivered on all of it, consistently. We were a 3 million session per year site and hit 5 million a year with them. The keywords I had them target were challenging ones too, KD of 70+ for most and a few at 90+. … I have 15 years in digital marketing and have worked with dozens of agencies. These guys are one of my favorites.
