Modern search optimization that gets you found
We optimize your brand for Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and the AI search engines that increasingly drive customer discovery.
How is AI search optimization (AEO/GEO) different from SEO?
AEO and GEO optimize for answer engines and generative search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) — structured answers, entity coverage, and citable sources — whereas SEO targets blue-link rankings. Inkgility bundles all three in one monthly retainer from $799/mo, $1,499/mo, or $2,999/mo.
Three pillars of modern search
Traditional SEO alone won't cut it anymore. We optimize across the full search landscape — from Google's blue links to ChatGPT's conversational answers.
Rank where buyers still start their journey — Google, Bing, and the classic blue links that drive the majority of qualified traffic.
Be the source AI engines cite when they answer your customer's questions — in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Chat.
Get named, quoted, and recommended by the generative AI assistants your customers now ask before they ever open a search engine.

What our clients say
We tried two other agencies before Inkgility. Within six months they tripled our organic leads and we started showing up in ChatGPT answers for our service area. Game-changer.
The AEO work alone paid for itself. Our product gets named in ChatGPT and Perplexity for the exact buyer queries we care about. Demos doubled in one quarter.
Eight of our ten locations now hold the #1 local pack spot. The monthly content cadence and the GBP work is something we could never have pulled off in-house.

Search optimization questions, answered
How is this different from regular SEO?
Regular SEO targets Google's blue links — and that's still in our plan. But buyers now also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini before they search. Modern Search Optimization adds AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Search Optimization) so you show up across every surface, not just one.
What's the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO ranks you in classic search results. AEO structures your content so AI engines like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews extract and cite it. GEO engineers your brand entity — across the web, Wikipedia, structured data — so generative AI assistants recommend you by name when users ask "what's the best…" questions.
How long until I see results?
Foundation work (technical fixes, GBP, schema) often shows movement in 30–60 days. Meaningful ranking gains typically land in months 3–4. The biggest compounding effects — authority, AI citations, market dominance — show up between months 6 and 12. We share monthly reports so you can see momentum from day one.
Will this work for my industry?
We've worked across real estate, SaaS, legal, healthcare, restaurants, D2C, professional services, and B2B. The fundamentals of search are universal; the tactics get tuned per industry. On the strategy call we'll be honest if your space is a poor fit — though that's rare.
What if I'm already doing some SEO?
Great — that's a head start. Our Month 1 audit identifies what's working, what's broken, and what's missing (especially on the AEO and GEO side, which most existing programs ignore). We'll integrate with your team or vendor and focus on the gaps.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No reputable SEO firm guarantees specific rankings — Google's algorithm changes daily and AI engines change weekly. What we do guarantee: a complete, transparent process, monthly reporting against baseline metrics, and the freedom to cancel anytime if it's not working.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract. Cancel before your next renewal — no fees, no hassle. (Annual prepay plans get a 20% discount; if you cancel mid-year you keep service through the paid period.)
Do you write the content for us?
Foundation includes content recommendations (briefs you or your team can use). Growth includes 4 fully-written SEO-optimized articles per month. Authority includes 8 long-form articles + 4 thought-leadership pieces per month, all human-written by senior content strategists and approved by you before publish.
How do I know if my brand shows up in ChatGPT?
We run baseline visibility tracking against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini for your priority queries — and report on it monthly. Growth and Authority plans include active targeting and citation engineering to grow that footprint over time.
What if I have multiple locations?
Foundation covers one primary Google Business Profile. Growth covers up to 5 locations with full local SEO (GBP, citations, review management). Authority covers unlimited locations — built for multi-unit brands and franchise systems.
