We help Silicon Valley businesses rank highly on ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude, and drive new customers to their business.
Silicon Valley businesses compete with nearby startups and against the global tech giants headquartered up the road. Our campaigns are built to win in either situation.
Our Silicon Valley Clients
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.
Silicon Valley’s economy is built on semiconductors, hardware, cloud infrastructure and enterprise software, backed by one of the deepest pools of venture capital in the world. Buyers here are technical and research vendors thoroughly before they reach out. Many of the Silicon Valley companies we’ve worked with are in data infrastructure, fintech and enterprise software: industries where technical buyers increasingly ask AI tools for a 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
Do I need a Silicon Valley-based agency to rank in AI search?
No. First Page Sage is fully remote, and we serve Silicon Valley businesses the way we serve every client. You get a dedicated in-house team that learns your market, competitors, and customers, and sits in on regular calls with your team.
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.
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.
How soon will we see results?
Measurable change typically surfaces by month three or four and builds from there.
How long has First Page Sage offered GEO?
We began offering GEO services in 2023. Before that, our team spent more than 15 years developing SEO strategies for clients.
