We help Westchester businesses rank highly on ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude, and drive new customers to their business.
Westchester businesses compete against neighbors across the county, and against New York City and national firms that also target Westchester buyers. We design campaigns that win in either scenario.
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.
Westchester’s economy is anchored by corporate headquarters, finance and wealth management, biotech and health care, and the professional services firms that support them. Many of the companies we’ve worked with in and around the county are in investment software, asset management, real estate and telecommunications: industries where buyers research carefully and AI tools 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
Does SEO still matter now that people search with AI?
Yes. AI recommendations very often mirror Google’s top results, and strong Google and Bing rankings make a company far more likely to be suggested by AI tools. SEO is the foundation GEO is built on.
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.
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.
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.
