"Thanks to Blake and his team, our website has ranked on the first page consistently for years now... Blake is overall a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend his services."
Caroline Van Wassenhove, CPA — CVW Accounting, Inc.
I have known Blake for a number of years and sought his expertise on optimizing SEO for my company website. After our first brief meeting with my web developer, we made a series of changes to my web site that quickly put us number one in Google searches for my desired search criteria. I strongly recommend GO-SEO as a partner for optimizing your company’s SEO.
Blake and GO-SEO helped me establish my online presence. When we started, my website was non-existent, and now I'm showing up in Google's AI search results, something I know is helpful in generating traffic. His SEO work has brought in qualified leads that are actively searching for my services. What I appreciated most was his transparent communication — he explained what he was doing and why, without all the technical jargon. The investment has paid for itself in new business.
We hired GO-SEO to migrate our site from Squarespace to the WordPress platform since WordPress is better suited to SEO. Of course, this meant they had to rebuild our site from scratch. The accuracy and speed were amazing and we’re now using the team. at GO-SEO for our search engine optimization as well.

What Our SEO Clients Actually See
Higher search rankings and increased organic traffic
Watch your business gain community-based search presence and attract more qualified visitors who find you naturally through search, reducing your dependence on paid advertising.
Better quality leads and inquiries
SEO puts you in front of people who are already searching for what you offer, not people scrolling past an ad. The difference between someone ready to buy and someone just browsing shows up directly in your conversion rate.
Steady increase in organic website traffic
Organic traffic builds on itself, rankings you earn in month three are still working in month eighteen, compounding as your authority grows.
Enhanced website credibility and user experience
Technical improvements that make your site faster, more secure, and easier for both users and search engines to navigate.
Long-term competitive advantage
Build sustainable organic local search visibility that compounds over time, unlike paid ads that stop working when you stop paying.
What we do
SEO services built for businesses that want to grow
Local SEO
Get found by customers in your area
We audit your site, optimize your Google Business Profile, clean up local citations, and target the keywords your nearby customers are actually typing. The work is technical and ongoing — not a one-time setup and hope for the best.
National SEO
Compete beyond your local market
We research what your national prospects are searching, identify the on-page gaps holding your rankings back, and build the authority signals Google needs to take you seriously at scale. Every strategy is built around your specific market, not a plug-and-play template.
SEO Content Marketing
Content that earns traffic and builds trust
We research, write, and structure content around the questions your prospects are already asking — formatted to rank on Google and get cited by AI-powered engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Every piece is built around real search intent, not just word count.
Know the difference
Organic SEO vs. paid ads: where does your money actually go?
| Organic SEO | Paid Ads | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost over time | Decreases as authority builds | Flat or increases, budget-dependent |
| Traffic when you pause | Rankings persist | Stops immediately |
| Time to results | 3–6+ months | Immediate |
| Lead quality | High intent, actively searching | Varies by targeting and ad quality |
| Builds site authority | Yes, every month compounds | No |
| User trust signals | Organic results carry implied credibility | Labeled "Sponsored", many users skip |
| Long-term ROI | Compounds, grows independent of spend | Linear, tied directly to budget |
| AI engine visibility (GEO) | Yes, with proper optimization | No |
Paid ads have their place — but for most service businesses, SEO is the investment that keeps paying after the work is done.
We're already helping clients optimize their websites for increased visibility in AI-powered search engines through our advanced Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does hiring an SEO agency actually get me?
The main benefit is compounding, long-term traffic you don't have to keep paying for. Unlike paid ads that stop the moment you stop spending, organic search rankings build over time and continue driving visitors to your site. A good SEO agency identifies the keywords your customers are actually using, fixes the technical issues holding your site back, and creates content that earns trust with both Google and AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Your business will have secured long-term search authority, more qualified leads, and be less dependent on ad budgets.
How long before I see real results from SEO?
Honest answer: it depends on where you're starting from. Established sites with existing authority often see ranking movement within 3–6 months. Brand new sites competing in saturated markets can take 6–12 months before significant traffic gains appear. What we can tell you is that every month of solid SEO work builds on the last; unlike paid traffic, the results don't disappear when you stop writing checks. We set realistic expectations from day one and report on progress every month so you always know where things stand.
Why GO-SEO and not one of the bigger agencies?
We've been doing this since 2007, before most current SEO agencies existed. We're not a large agency where your account gets handed to a junior coordinator. When you call GO-SEO, you talk to the people actually working on your site. We also answer our own phone. Beyond that, we don't do cookie-cutter SEO. Every client gets a strategy built around their specific market, competitors, and goals. And we've expanded into GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) so your business shows up not just on Google but in AI-powered answers on ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.
Is local SEO worth it for a service business like mine?
Yes, and for most service-based businesses it's the highest-leverage SEO investment you can make. Local SEO puts your business in front of people who are actively searching for what you offer in your geographic area. That means optimizing your Google Business Profile, building consistent citations (your Name, Address, and Phone number appearing identically across the web), earning local reviews, and creating location-specific content. Done right, local SEO drives phone calls and form submissions from people who are ready to hire — not just browsing.
What's GEO, and why am I only hearing about it now?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It's the practice of optimizing your content so it gets cited and recommended by AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. More and more people are skipping Google entirely and asking AI tools for business recommendations. If your website isn't structured, written, and marked up in a way that AI crawlers can parse and trust, you're invisible in those results. GO-SEO is one of the few agencies actively building GEO into client strategies alongside traditional search optimization. We've written an in-depth article explaining GEO if you want to go deeper.
How will I know if our SEO is actually working?
We track the metrics that actually matter to your business: organic search sessions, keyword ranking movement, leads generated from search, and conversion rates. We don't pad reports with vanity metrics. Every month you receive a clear performance report showing what moved, what's in progress, and what's next. We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console as our primary data sources, so the numbers are always verifiable and directly tied to your site.
What does GO-SEO charge, and what do I get for it?
GO-SEO monthly retainers start at $750 per month. The actual investment depends on the scope of work: the competitiveness of your market, the current state of your website, and whether you need local SEO, national SEO, content marketing, or GEO optimization. We offer several package tiers designed around the needs of small and mid-sized businesses, and we'll be direct with you about what your specific situation actually requires before you commit to anything. Book a free 15-minute strategy call.
What if my site also needs to be rebuilt or redesigned?
Yes. We build websites on WordPress, which is the platform we recommend for SEO performance and long-term flexibility. We don't do paid advertising or social media management, but if your site needs to be rebuilt or redesigned to support your SEO goals, we handle that in-house. There's a real advantage to having the same team build and optimize your site: no handoffs, no finger-pointing between a web developer and a separate SEO agency when something isn't working.
