One search
Four ways to show up for one search
One search can put your business in four places on the page. Each one is earned a different way, and we work on all four.
An example search
Diagram: an example search for furnace repair in Columbus. The results page has four places one business can appear: a sponsored ad, from Google Ads; a source in the AI overview, from AI search work; a listing in the map results, from local SEO; and a regular result, from SEO.
- Google AdsA sponsored spot at the top, live as soon as the campaign is.
- AI searchThe AI overview cites your site as a source.
- Local SEOThe map results, from your Business Profile and reviews.
- SEOThe regular results, earned with a fast site and pages that answer the search.
Local SEO
Local SEO in Columbus
For businesses that serve customers in Columbus and central Ohio, this is the local search work we do, and keep doing every month.
Google Business Profile
We set up or take over your profile and keep it complete and current: categories, services, hours, photos, and updates.

Your name, address, and phone number listed the same way across the major directories.
Reviews
A simple way to ask happy customers for Google reviews, and replies to the reviews that come in.

Questions
SEO questions
Do you require a contract?
No. SEO and Google Ads are month to month. If you prefer a contract, we’ll sign one, and longer terms get lower pricing.
Do you only work with Columbus businesses?
No. We’re based in Dublin, Ohio, and work with clients in Columbus and across the country, mostly remotely.
How long does SEO take to show results?
No one can honestly guarantee fast results or page-one rankings. We work to start seeing results within 2 to 3 weeks, then watch the data as it comes in and keep adjusting from there.
Do you manage Google Ad Grants for nonprofits?
Yes. We set up and manage Google Ad Grants accounts for nonprofit organizations.
Will SEO help us show up in ChatGPT and AI Overviews?
It’s part of it. We also add llms.txt and structured data, and we built LLMs Ledger, a free llms.txt checker, to test it.
