SEO services for small business, built for Google and AI search
SEO services for small business that cover all three ways customers find you today: search engine optimization (SEO), answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO).
Your next customer is searching right now. Some type into Google. More and more ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews, “Who’s the best… near me?” If your business doesn’t show up in both places, those customers go to a competitor who does.
My SEO services for small business cover all three layers. SEO gets your pages ranking in Google. Answer engine optimization (AEO) structures your content so search engines and assistants can use it as the direct answer. Generative engine optimization (GEO) makes your business easy for AI tools to understand, trust and recommend. I audit where you stand, fix what’s holding you back, publish answer-ready content and report progress every month.
Who it’s for: Local service businesses, consultants, creators and online stores in the US that want affordable SEO services for small business, plus visibility in AI search, without depending on ads.

SEO, AEO & GEO: common questions
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Generative engine optimization is the practice of making your business easy for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews to understand, trust and mention. It relies on clear, consistent information about your business, well-structured content and credible signals across the web.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Answer engine optimization structures your content so search engines and assistants can lift it as a direct answer: clear questions and answers, concise definitions, step-by-step explanations and structured data (schema).
What’s the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO helps your pages rank in search results. AEO helps your content become the answer. GEO helps AI tools recommend your business. They work best together, which is why my SEO services include all three.
How much do SEO services for small business cost?
My SEO, AEO and GEO plan starts at $399 per month and includes an audit, keyword research, on-page and off-page SEO, answer-ready content and schema, and monthly reporting. You get a written quote first.
How long does SEO take to work?
It’s a long-term investment. Early movement often shows within a few months, with stronger results building after that, depending on your site and competition.
Can you guarantee rankings or mentions in AI answers?
No, and be cautious of anyone who does. I remove the obstacles, publish clear and trustworthy content, and track your rankings and AI-search visibility every month.
Do you offer local SEO services for small business?
Yes. I optimize your site and content for local searches so nearby customers can find you, and make sure your business information is consistent everywhere AI tools look.
Do you use AI, and will it sound generic?
I use AI to research faster, draft first versions and automate repetitive steps. Every result is then reviewed and edited by me so it sounds like your brand, is accurate and is ready to publish.

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Ali Ahmad. Ali’s expertise in SEO, backlinks, and everything WordPress is just some of his many talents and skills that have benefited the Whole Care Network. Since Ali started managing the back end of our website, our traffic and impressions have doubled, he’s recognized areas on the website that, unbeknown to me, needed attention and has recommended plugins and apps that allow our website to run faster and more efficiently. His knowledge and expertise allow me to focus on tasks that are more in my skill set which is of great relief to me. Another quality Ali possesses is his ability to clearly explain tech issues, and the solutions that need to be addressed on our website. He provides clear timelines for his tasks and always keeps me abreast of our projects. I highly recommend Ali’s services and skills. Like me, you’ll greatly benefit from having Ali as part of your team.
