We help Detroit and Southeast Michigan businesses rank highly on ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude, and drive new customers to their business.
Southeast Michigan businesses compete on two fronts: against neighbors down the road, and against national firms with bigger budgets that also target Michigan buyers. Our campaigns are built to win both.
Our research team spent over 15 years analyzing Google’s algorithms to develop the best SEO strategies. We take the same scholarly approach to generative engine optimization (GEO), studying AI algorithms and search behavior daily so that our services use the most cutting-edge tactics available.
Southeast Michigan’s economy is built on making things and serving the companies that make them. Automotive and mobility, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, professional services and financial services drive the region, and buyers in all of them research carefully before they reach out. Many of the Michigan companies we’ve worked with are in automotive and energy technology: industries where buyers compare specialists closely and AI tools increasingly shape the shortlist.
Our Services
GEO & AEO
When a prospect asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, it returns the companies it sees as the best fit. We make sure your business is on this list, with content and third-party mentions that AI systems trust.
SEO
We build content and authority that rank for the searches your buyers run, including town- and region-specific ones, and turn that traffic into customers.
Strategy and Reporting
Every campaign starts with a custom plan built around your goals, and we report on the numbers that affect revenue: leads, conversions and cost per acquisition.
Our content is written by in-house experts who learn your business first, so it sounds like it came from your own team.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?
Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the process of getting your company suggested by AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude. Think of it as SEO’s next chapter: instead of search engines ranking pages, language models decide what to summarize and cite.
How do AI platforms decide which Long Island companies to recommend?
AI chatbots rely most on highly ranked list articles, so their recommendations often mirror Google’s top results. They also weigh directory listings, online reviews, and awards.
Who writes your content?
Our in-house writers, not contractors. Your experts brief them each week, and nothing publishes without a fact-check against your own materials.
How soon will we see results?
Measurable change typically surfaces by month three or four and builds from there.
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Everything runs month-to-month.
