What's AEO, exactly?
Answer Engine Optimization — structuring your content so AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity cite or recommend your business when someone asks a relevant question, the way SEO does for Google's results page.
How long until I see results?
SEO is a slow-compounding channel — expect early technical wins in month one, and meaningful ranking movement from month 3 onward. We'll never promise a specific ranking or timeline; anyone who does is guessing.
Is there a minimum contract length?
No — month-to-month, like our other retainers. That said, SEO genuinely needs a few months to show its full effect, so we'll be upfront if you're expecting overnight results.
Do you handle local SEO for a physical storefront?
Yes — Google Business Profile optimization, local listings, and review strategy are included from the Starter package up.
Who actually does the work?
You work directly with HootMedia's founder — no account managers passing your brief down a chain. What you're sold is what you get.
