Stop Paying for SEO / AEO That Doesn't Move | Pay on Results

Performance-based SEO, GEO & AEO. You pay for results, not activity. Your buyers have changed how they search. They ask ChatGPT, check Google Maps, and read Google's AI Overviews, and each of those shows only a few businesses. If yours isn't one of them, you're invisible to a growing share of your market. 📍 WHERE I GET YOU FOUND • Google Search: rank for the keywords that bring in buyers • Google Maps & Business Profile: win the local map pack • Google AI Overviews: get featured in the AI answers at the top of Google • ChatGPT • Perplexity • Claude • Gemini • Bing & Copilot One strategy covers all of them, so you're found however your customers search. Most SEO retainers haven't caught up. You pay every month, get a report full of "tasks completed," and still can't tell whether any of it made you money. That's the part I fixed. I tie my pay to the numbers you care about: rankings, organic revenue, calls, leads, and AI citations. We agree on the baseline up front. When I move it, I earn. When I don't, you're not paying for promises. 📈 RESULTS • Metla House Cleaning: 6x'd the business in 12 months, $140K → $800K in revenue • Trustifi (cybersecurity SaaS): +279% organic traffic, +170% demo bookings, now #1 for "enterprise email encryption" above billion-dollar competitors • Nurture Life (meal delivery): +64.9% purchases and +39.7% users from organic • Bernie's Best (DTC brand): from zero AI visibility to 770+ citations across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Grok and more • StickerYou (8-figure ecommerce): 723 ChatGPT + 447 Google AI Overview citations, 147 keywords in the top 3 • Best of Utah Moving: +97% YoY call volume, #1.3 average map ranking for "moving companies Salt Lake City" in 30 days 🛠️ WHAT I DO • SEO: technical fixes, on-page optimization, content, and authority building • Local SEO: Google Business Profile optimization, reviews, citations, and map pack rankings • GEO: getting your brand mentioned and recommended in AI-generated answers • AEO: schema, FAQs, and content structure that win featured snippets, AI Overviews, and voice results ⚙️ HOW I WORK • Free visibility audit: where you rank on Google and Maps, and which competitors ChatGPT recommends instead of you • Clear targets before we start: one or two KPIs with a written baseline • Test, keep, cut: I double down on what the algorithms reward and drop what doesn't work • Plain-English monthly reports: what was done, what moved, what's next 👤 BACKGROUND • 6 years in SEO with Headquarters Digital Marketing • Results across local service, ecommerce, SaaS, and B2B 📩 Send me your URL and your biggest competitor. I'll show you where they're beating you on Google, Maps, and AI answers, and how we flip it.
