We help San Diego businesses rank highly on ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude, and drive new customers to their business.
San Diego businesses compete on two fronts: against neighbors across the county, and against Los Angeles and national firms that also target San Diego 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.
San Diego’s economy is anchored by life sciences, defense and the military, wireless technology, tourism and a celebrated craft beverage scene. Many of the San Diego-area companies we’ve worked with are in software, executive coaching, home wellness products and nutrition: industries where buyers research carefully and AI tools shape the shortlist.
Our Services

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 happens when we start working together?
Month one focuses on strategy and technical work, including audits of your SEO, GEO, and conversion paths. Content production generally begins in month two.
Do business directories still matter?
Yes. AI models draw on established directories and databases, and being listed in them makes your company more likely to be recommended. Inclusion in the right industry sources is a core part of a GEO campaign.
Is GEO just SEO with a new name?
Not quite. GEO combines SEO, PR, and reputation management: placement in ranked list articles, directory inclusion, review management, and publicizing your achievements. Search rankings are one important input among several.
What is AEO?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) positions your company to be recommended when AI tools answer buyers’ questions. It includes authoritative content plus structured data and schema markup that help AI systems understand what your company does.
What is agentic search?
AI agents are starting to do the searching for us: they gather options, decide which fits best, and act, by booking, buying, or filling out a form. Agents cross-check what they read, so consistent claims across your site and third-party sources matter.
