SEO · AEO · GEO Diagnostics

Find out exactly why you're not ranking.

We run one thorough audit of your website across Google and AI search, then hand you a plain-English diagnosis and a fix list your webmaster can act on the same day. We diagnose. We don't sell you a retainer.

The short version

Most sites don't have a traffic problem. They have a findings problem.

You already paid someone to build the site. The question isn't whether to rebuild it — it's knowing the handful of things holding it back. We find those things, rank them by what they cost you, and write them up so the person who already maintains your site can fix them. No contracts. No "managed services." Just the diagnosis.

Who we help

Built for practices that live on referrals and reputation.

We work with a small number of professional firms at a time. Not lead vendors, not high-volume ad shops — practices where one good client is worth the audit.

The part most audits skip

Your next client might never see Google.

People used to type a question and scroll ten blue links. Now a lot of them ask ChatGPT or Perplexity and read one answer. ChatGPT passed 900 million weekly users in February 2026 — double the year before — and even on Google, about two-thirds of searches now end without a single click.

So the real question isn't where you rank. It's whether your name is in the answer when an engine returns just one. If those tools can't crawl your site, can't make sense of it, or don't trust it, you're not in it — and you'll never know, because there's no ranking to check and no missed call to count.

The engines are deciding who they trust right now, and the firm one learns to name becomes its default. The GEO audit checks exactly where you stand: whether the AI crawlers can reach you, whether your pages can be quoted, and whether you're named when someone asks for a firm like yours.

How the GEO audit works

What we test in AI search

  • Can GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended reach your pages?
  • Is your content structured so an engine can quote it cleanly?
  • Do the engines name you when asked to recommend a firm like yours?
  • Is your schema and entity data readable by AI, not just Google?
How it works

Three steps, two reports, zero retainer.

We audit the whole picture

One pass across SEO, AEO, and GEO. We crawl the site, check how the engines see it, and find what's actually costing you clients.

You get two reports

A plain-English diagnostic that explains what's wrong and why it matters — and a separate, technical work order written for whoever maintains your site.

Your webmaster makes the fixes

You hand the work order to the developer you already use, and we coach them through it for 90 days — with re-audits at 30, 60, and 90 days to confirm it's working. No retainer.

Proof

One audit found seven versions of the same site.

A Summerville real estate team came to us losing ground they couldn't explain. The audit turned up the cause fast: their content was scattered across seven different domains — including one that had lapsed and been picked up by someone serving fake pages under their name. Google was splitting the credit every way it could.

We mapped every domain, named the one that should win, and wrote the redirect plan. That's the kind of thing a ranking report never tells you.

Questions

The things people ask before they book.

What do I actually get for the money?

You get two documents. The first is a plain-English diagnostic that names every problem we found across Google search, answer engines, and AI search, ranked by what each one is costing you. The second is a technical work order written for whoever maintains your site — specific fixes, in priority order, with acceptance criteria so you can tell when each one is done.

You also get 90 days of unlimited coaching calls while your webmaster works through it, plus re-audits at 30, 60, and 90 days to confirm the fixes actually landed.

How much does an audit cost?

Audits are a flat fee at one of three tiers, set by the size and complexity of your site:

  • Bronze$1,500
  • Silver$2,500
  • Gold$3,500

You know which tier you're in and what it costs before we start, and the number doesn't change. There is no retainer, no monthly minimum, and no contract to sign — you buy one audit, we deliver it, and you decide what happens next.

How fast do I get the audit back?

The Pre-Audit is free and comes back in four hours or less. It's the quick look — enough to tell you whether there's something real to chase, before you spend anything.

A Full Website Audit is delivered in five business days or less. That covers the whole pass across SEO, AEO, and GEO, both reports written, and the findings ranked by impact. No queue, no "we'll get to it next month."

Do you fix the problems you find?

No. We diagnose; we don't take the keyboard. The fixes go to the developer or webmaster who already maintains your site, because that person knows your setup and you're already paying them. We coach them through the work order for 90 days at no extra charge.

That separation is deliberate. An agency that both finds the problems and bills to fix them has an obvious reason to find more problems. We'd rather you trust the findings.

What's the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?

SEO is whether Google ranks your pages. AEO — answer engine optimization — is whether your content is structured clearly enough to be quoted directly when someone asks a question rather than browses results. GEO — generative engine optimization — is whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews can reach your site, understand it, and name you when someone asks for a firm like yours.

Most audits stop at the first one. All three now decide whether a prospect ever hears your name.

What kinds of firms do you work with?

We work with boutique professional practices where a single new client is worth more than the audit: attorneys in estate, family, and business law; fee-only financial advisors and RIAs; CPA and tax firms; and real estate teams. We take a small number of clients at a time on purpose.

Do you only work with firms in South Carolina?

No. We're based in the South Carolina Lowcountry and know Charleston, Summerville, and Mount Pleasant search well, but an audit is delivered remotely and we work with firms across the United States. Local knowledge matters for local search findings; everything else travels.

Stop guessing at why.

Get one clear diagnosis of what's holding your site back — across Google and AI search — and a fix list your developer can run with. Every quarter you wait, the engines get more certain about who they name. Better that it's you.
