We help Philadelphia businesses rank highly on ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Claude, and drive new customers to their business.
Philadelphia’s economy is built on health care and life sciences, including a fast-growing cell and gene therapy cluster, along with higher education, financial services, pharmaceuticals and logistics. Many of the Philadelphia-area companies we’ve worked with are in legal services and materials testing: industries where buyers research carefully and AI tools shape the shortlist.
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.
Philadelphia businesses compete on two fronts: against neighbors across the region, and against New York and national firms that also target Philadelphia buyers. Our campaigns are built to win both.
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.
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 does First Page Sage provide each month?
Every month, you receive a set number of content pieces, including use-case pages, research pieces, comparison articles, and outside PR placements. You own everything we produce for your website.
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 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.
