I grew my business with SEO and sold it and I’ll do the same for yours. SEO leads close at 14.6% vs 1.7% for cold outreach. Today, GEO is the goal as it converts 9x better and great SEO is one of its biggest levers. Start with your free audit.
SEO leads close at 14.6% vs 1.7% for cold outreach
AI search traffic converts 9x better than Google organic. 8.6x × 9 = 78x
of AI citations come from pages already ranking on Google
That’s the compound advantage when SEO and GEO work together. SEO gets you ranking. GEO gets you cited. Together they get you leads that close at a rate cold outreach can’t touch. But you can’t have one without the other, and I build both in one engagement.
Not every keyword that ranks is worth ranking for. I target the terms someone types right before they buy, not the ones that just get traffic. High volume with no buying intent is a vanity metric. I build around the searches that turn into leads.
A page that ranks but doesn’t convert is a wasted position. I structure every page to do both: answer-first content that AI engines and Google can parse cleanly, built around the exact question a buyer is asking when they land on it.
Ranking gets someone to the page. What happens next is the actual job. I build the forms, CTAs, and trust signals that turn a visit into a lead, placed where someone is actually ready to act, not buried below content they’ll never scroll to.
Rankings compound on trust. I build the press mentions, profiles, and links that teach Google and AI engines your site is a real authority, not just a page that happens to match a keyword.
Traffic and rank position are not the metric. Leads are. I track every page back to the leads it actually generates, so we know which keywords are making you money and which ones are just noise.
A page that ranks #1 but never converts gets fixed or replaced. I review lead quality every month, not just rankings, and double down on what’s actually producing business, not what looks good in a rankings report.

Ask the Board: Turning Passion Into Profits
I didn’t learn this from a course. I built it, sold it, and proved it. I grew Ultimate Food Tours from 116 to 28,421 monthly visitors, then got it acquired. Then I made it the most cited tour brand in AI search. The same six levers I ran on my own company are the ones I run for clients. No other GEO agency has proof like this. They sell theory. I sold a company.
