How we work

Boutique size. Enterprise instincts.

No handoffs

You will never be passed to a junior account manager. The strategist on your kickoff call is the one doing the work.

Your site, your plan

Every engagement starts with your data: Search Console, crawls, rank tracking and AI citation share. Strategy follows the evidence.

Lean retainers

No bloated scopes or vanity reports. You pay for work that moves rankings, leads and revenue, and you see exactly what shipped.

Fuji 9 has been a game-changer for our SEO and digital marketing efforts. Before working with them, we had virtually no organic traffic. With their expertise, organic quickly became our primary channel for driving growth.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is AI search optimization?

AI search optimization, often called GEO, is the work of getting your brand named and cited inside answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews. It builds on strong SEO and adds entity clarity, structured data, crawler access and content that AI systems can quote with confidence.

How long does SEO take to show results?

Technical fixes and local profile work can move within weeks. Competitive organic rankings usually take three to six months of steady work. We set milestones in the first month so you can see progress long before the big wins land.

Do you work with local businesses or only enterprise brands?

Both. Our team has run SEO for household-name brands and for single-location service businesses. Multi-location groups tend to get the most from us, since they need enterprise process at a local level.
