18 Years.
One Decision-Maker.
I'm Blake Discher.
I founded GO-SEO in 2007, and I still supervise every client account myself, no junior staff, no account managers, no hand-offs.
That's not a limitation.
It's the point.
Traditional SEO.
Then Search Evolved.
Search is constantly changing, and we change right along with it
GO-SEO has operates out of Los Angeles and serves clients nationwide. For the first decade, the work was straightforward: rank your business on Google, own the first page, bring in qualified traffic. We were good at it — and that core discipline hasn't changed.
Then search changed. AI-powered results started answering questions directly, without sending users to websites. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot now sit between your business and your next customer. Showing up in those answers requires a different kind of optimization.
We call it Generative Engine Optimization, or GEO. It's the other half of what GO-SEO does now, and it's why clients who have been with us since the early days are still with us.
SEO + GEO.
Both. Always.
GO-SEO provides traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimization for small and mid-size businesses. In practice, that means:
- Google search rankings: Technical audits, on-page optimization, content strategy, and link building that moves the needle on organic traffic
- AI search visibility: Structured content and schema that gets your business cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews
- Ongoing monthly optimization: It's not a not a set-it-and-forget-it retainer; rather, an active management with monthly reporting and direct communication
We track AI citation performance using Otterly.ai alongside state-of-the-art SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Sitebulb, Google Search Console, and Google Analytics. Most agencies don't know what Otterly is yet. We've been using it since 2024.
Why GO-SEO
Three things that set us apart
Who we work with
Owner-operated businesses that need a real partner
Service-based companies such as photographers, consultants, healthcare providers, and home service businesses who want a direct relationship with their SEO partner, not a rotating cast of account managers they've never met.
Direct access, always
The person you call is the person doing the work
A lot of agencies sell you on the senior team, then hand you off. At GO-SEO, the person you talk to in the first call builds your strategy, reads your audit, and responds to your emails — and that's been true since 2007.
The new frontier
Ranked in Google and cited by AI
Most agencies optimize for Google and stop there. We also track whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews are recommending your business because that's where search is going, and we've been watching it since before most agencies knew to look.
