Rank on Google.
Show up in AI search.
Aggento gets your business found on Google, in AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and on maps — through local SEO, Google Business Profile setup and optimization, technical audits, and content structured for AI-era search. No vanity metrics. No monthly reports about traffic that doesn't convert. Just more visible, more found, more booked.
95% of clicks go
to page one.
You're not there.
Most local businesses rely entirely on word-of-mouth and referrals. That works until it doesn't. The day a competitor shows up at the top of Google for your exact service in your exact city, every potential client who searches for you first — and doesn't know your name — goes to them instead.
Local search has a specific structure. There's the map pack (three businesses with a map pin), then the organic results. Appearing in both requires different work. The map pack requires Google Business Profile authority. Organic results require on-page SEO, schema markup, local citations, and content that answers the questions your clients are actually searching.
AI search is a separate layer entirely. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude all draw from different sources than traditional search. Businesses that appear in AI-generated answers are getting discovered by a growing audience that never clicks a search result at all. We optimize for both.
Most SEO agencies focus on metrics that feel good but don't translate to revenue — traffic, impressions, keyword count. We track three things: ranking position for target keywords, map pack appearance rate, and inbound contact volume. Everything else is noise.
Local search is where high-intent buyers live. Someone searching 'millwork contractor near me' or 'real estate agent Jupiter FL' is ready to contact a business, not browse. Ranking here isn't about content volume — it's about authority signals in a specific geographic area.
What local SEO actually requires
- Google Business Profile — optimized categories, services, photos, Q&A, review response cadence, and weekly posts that maintain algorithmic freshness
- Local citations — consistent NAP (name, address, phone) across 50+ directories. Inconsistencies here actively suppress your ranking.
- On-page optimization — title tags, meta descriptions, H1/H2 structure, and body content with local keyword signals on every service page
- Schema markup — LocalBusiness schema, Service schema, and FAQ schema that tell Google exactly who you are and what you serve
- Internal linking structure — pages linked in a way that passes authority to your most important service and location pages
- Review strategy — cadence, templates, and follow-up to increase review volume and recency, which are direct ranking factors
Timeline
- Months 1–2: foundation — GBP, citations, on-page, schema all corrected and structured
- Month 3+: ranking movement becomes measurable
- Month 6: map pack entry typically visible for primary keywords
Your Google Business Profile is the most important free asset in local search — and most businesses have one that's incomplete, unverified, or filled with information Google doesn't know what to do with. We set it up correctly, optimize it for your specific service categories, and manage it on an ongoing basis.
What we do with your GBP
- Full setup or audit — claim, verify, and configure your profile if you don't have one; or audit and correct an existing one
- Category selection — primary and secondary categories chosen based on what actually ranks for your services in your market, not what sounds right
- Services and products — full services list with descriptions, keyed to how your customers search
- Photo optimization — cover photo, logo, interior/exterior, team, product/service photos uploaded and tagged correctly
- Q&A seeding — pre-populate the Q&A section with the questions your customers actually ask, with keyword-rich answers
- Weekly post cadence — offers, updates, and photos posted on a schedule to maintain algorithmic freshness
- Review response — every review responded to within 24 hours, with templates that reinforce keyword signals
What you get
- A fully optimized GBP that is set up the way Google prefers, not the way most business owners guess
- Monthly reporting on profile views, direction requests, calls, and website clicks from your GBP
- Ongoing management so the profile stays fresh and current — GBP is not set-and-forget
A growing percentage of purchase decisions now start with an AI query, not a Google search. 'Who are the best millwork contractors in Chicago?' 'What's the best Shopify agency for licensed products?' These questions go to ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overview — not the first page of search results. If you're not in those answers, you don't exist to that buyer.
AI search visibility requires a different strategy than traditional SEO. AI models synthesize answers from a combination of high-authority websites, your own online presence, review platforms, industry publications, and structured data sources. We build the presence that gets you cited.
What we build for AI visibility
- Entity establishment — ensuring your business appears consistently across authoritative sources that AI models pull from (Wikipedia-adjacent entries, Wikidata, industry directories, press)
- Structured data depth — Schema.org markup that makes your services, location, and expertise machine-readable at a level that AI models can understand and cite
- Content positioning — articles and service pages structured to answer the specific questions that are most likely to generate AI citations in your category
- Review and mention footprint — building the review volume and press mention density that signals authority to AI systems
- Monitoring — tracking where and how your business appears in AI-generated answers, and iterating based on what's working
What AI visibility looks like in practice
- Your business is cited by name in ChatGPT when someone asks about services in your market
- Your website appears in Perplexity's sources panel for relevant industry queries
- Your business appears in Google AI Overviews for local service queries in your geographic area
- You can track it — we show you real queries and real appearances, not estimates
Not add-ons.
Standard.
Every engagement follows the same structured process. Scope is fixed before work starts. Reporting is monthly. There are no mid-engagement surprises and no opaque deliverables you have to take our word for.
What we built for
a luxury Florida realtor.
aynuraaghenii.com —
local rankings from
day one.
Aynura Aghenii covers the Treasure Coast luxury market — Stuart, Jupiter, Palm Beach, and three additional markets. The site was built with SEO baked in from the first line of code: market-specific landing pages for each of six markets, LocalBusiness schema on every page, keyword-targeted H1/H2 structure, and GBP optimized and connected to the site before launch.
The result: organic visibility in each of the six markets she targets, from the first week the site was indexed. No paid traffic. No waiting months for an agency to 'get started.' SEO was a design requirement, not an afterthought.
Monthly retainer.
Fixed scope.
Measurable results.
Local SEO is an ongoing engagement, not a one-time project. Rankings compound over time and require consistent work — citation monitoring, content, GBP management, and monthly reporting.
A local SEO retainer starts at $800/month for a single-location business with a defined primary market. Multi-location businesses, competitive markets, or engagements that include content creation are scoped individually.
Setup fee: $1,200 covers the initial audit, citation cleanup, schema implementation, on-page optimization, and GBP build or rebuild. This is a one-time cost at the start of the engagement.
What's not included: paid ad spend, domain or hosting, third-party directory listing fees. These are passed through at cost.

always ask.
Local SEO typically shows measurable ranking movement within 60–90 days for less competitive terms. Map pack entry for primary keywords usually happens within 3–6 months of consistent work. More competitive markets take longer. We don't promise timeline shortcuts — we promise you'll see ranked data monthly and know exactly what's moving and what isn't.
AI search visibility means your business appears when someone asks an AI tool — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Claude — about services in your category or market. These AI-generated answers are replacing traditional search results for a growing percentage of queries, especially research-type questions. If your business isn't in those answers, you're invisible to that buyer segment. We build the content structure, entity presence, and authority signals that get you cited in AI-generated answers.
No reputable SEO agency guarantees specific rankings. Search algorithms change, competitors evolve, and anyone who guarantees a specific position is either lying or about to use tactics that will get your site penalized. What we do guarantee: every technical and on-page factor we control will be optimized correctly, we'll report your exact positions monthly, and we'll show you a clear trajectory. Most clients see map pack entry within 6 months for their primary market.
Full GBP setup or optimization includes: claim and verification, category selection (primary and secondary, based on what actually ranks in your market), services list with descriptions, photo upload and tagging, Q&A seeding with keyword-rich answers, review response templates, and weekly post cadence setup. For businesses without a GBP, we handle the full verification process. For existing profiles, we audit and correct everything that's wrong or suboptimal.
Yes — significantly. Local SEO targets the map pack and local organic results, which require Google Business Profile authority, local citation consistency, and geographic keyword signals. Regular (national or e-commerce) SEO focuses on domain authority, backlinks, and content at scale. For most small businesses, local SEO is the highest-leverage investment because high-intent buyers in your area are searching for exactly what you offer.
Yes. We can apply SEO improvements to any existing website — on-page changes, schema markup, page structure, internal linking. However, some websites have technical foundations that limit what's possible (page builders, bloated themes, uneditable templates). We'll audit your site in the initial engagement and flag any structural constraints that need to be addressed for full SEO potential.
