Ethos delivers SEO and GEO as one complete package, and each part has its own page so you can see exactly what is included.

How to Choose the Right SEO and GEO Option

If you want customers to find you on Google and in AI answers, choose the Website + SEO & GEO package; choose a site without SEO only if search is not where your customers come from.

All options are one-time payments, 50% to start and 50% at delivery. Timelines count from the day we receive all your material. Compare every package on our pricing page.

How We Build SEO and GEO Into Your Website

We build SEO and GEO in four steps inside the 7-day ETHOS Method: research, write, structure and launch.

  1. Step 1: Research

    We study your market and pick the keywords and questions your customers use in your area.

  2. Step 2: Write

    We write every page for search and AI: a direct answer first, then the details people need.

  3. Step 3: Structure

    We add schema, fast clean code and Google Search Console so search engines understand you.

  4. Step 4: Launch

    We launch, submit your sitemap and check that your key pages can be found and indexed.

Everything is done before launch, so your site starts working for you from day one.

Why Our SEO and GEO Are Different

Our SEO and GEO are different because you pay once, GEO is included and every timeline we give you is honest.

  • One Payment, No Monthly SEO Fee

    SEO and GEO come in a $2,400 package, not a retainer. Most agencies charge for this work every month.

  • GEO Included, Not an Upsell

    AI search optimization is part of the same package, while GEO programs often start near $1,500 a month.

  • Honest Timelines, No Ranking Promises

    First signs in 4 to 8 weeks, stronger results in 3 to 6 months. We never promise a position or a lead count.

What Search-Ready Really Means: Criteria, Mistakes and Red Flags

A search-ready website is fast, clearly structured and consistent everywhere your business appears, and the biggest risk is paying for promises nobody can keep.

Technical Criteria Every Search-Ready Website Needs

Before you worry about rankings, check three foundations: speed, a structure machines can read and one consistent identity.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

Pages should pass Core Web Vitals and load fast on a phone. We target 95 to 100 on Google PageSpeed.

Structure a Machine Can Read

One H1, logical headings, a direct answer at the top of each section and schema that describes your services.

One Consistent Business Identity

Your name, phone and services must match on your site, Google Business Profile and directories.

Why AI Tools Skip Most Local Businesses

A 2026 analysis of more than 200 local-service AI citations found that 42% came from Google Business Profile, 28% from directories and 17% from business websites, so a website alone is not enough (source).

No Google Business Profile

It is the biggest single source AI tools use for local answers. Create it and keep every field complete.

Answers Hidden in Long Paragraphs

AI tools quote clear, direct answers. Pages that bury the answer in the middle rarely get cited.

Inconsistent Details Across the Web

A different phone or name on two directories makes AI tools less confident about recommending you.

Red Flags When You Hire for SEO

Walk away from any provider who shows one of these three signs, no matter how good the price looks.

Guaranteed Rankings

No one controls Google or ChatGPT. A guaranteed #1 position is a promise nobody can keep.

Accounts in Their Name

Your domain, hosting, Search Console and Google Business Profile should always belong to you.

Long Contracts, Vague Reports

If you can't see what was done each month and why, you can't tell whether it works.

SEO and GEO Questions Business Owners Ask

Here are straight answers to the ten SEO and GEO questions we hear most, from cost and timing to ChatGPT and guarantees.

What is the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO helps Google rank your pages in search results; GEO helps AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity understand and recommend your business. You need both. Start with our plain-English guide to GEO.

Is SEO sold separately from the website?

No. SEO and GEO are included in the $2,400 Website + SEO & GEO package and in a website redesign with SEO & GEO, because they work best when they are built into the site.

Do I have to pay every month for SEO?

No. It is one payment. The optional Care Plan ($250 per month) covers hosting management and small edits, not a monthly SEO fee. See what one-time SEO can and can't do.

How long until I see results?

First signs usually appear in 4 to 8 weeks, and stronger results in 3 to 6 months. It depends on your city and your competition.

Can you guarantee the first page or the #1 spot?

No, and you should be careful with anyone who does. No one controls Google or AI tools. We guarantee the work: a fast site, built with SEO and GEO from day one.

How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?

Give AI tools clear answers on your website, a complete Google Business Profile, consistent details in directories and real reviews. Use our ChatGPT recommendation checklist.

What is included in your SEO setup?

Keyword research, pages written for search, schema, a fast site and Google Search Console setup. See everything our SEO setup includes.

Do you manage my Google Business Profile?

No. You keep control of your Google Business Profile. What matters is that it shows the same name, phone and services as your website.

Why is my business not showing up on Google?

The most common causes are a slow site, no clear pages for each service and missing technical setup. Check the 6 common causes and a self-test.

Will SEO and GEO work for my industry and city?

They work for service businesses in every U.S. state, but results depend on your city and competition. On our call we show you a market study of your area. See websites by industry.
