People are already searching for what you do. SEO is the work of making sure they find you — instead of the competition three towns over.

That work looks different for every business. A local trades company mostly needs to win its service area: Google Business Profile, local citations, and pages that match how people actually search. A product business may need content strategy and technical depth. The scope follows the situation, which is why every SEO engagement starts with an audit of where you actually stand.

What's included

Technical & on-page audit

A prioritized roadmap of what's holding your site back, in plain language.

Local SEO

Google Business Profile, citations, and location pages that win your service area.

AEO / AI search

Schema markup and answer-ready content so AI tools can find and cite your business.

Plain reporting

Monthly reports that say what changed and what it did — no vanity metrics.

Search is changing

More people now ask AI assistants for recommendations instead of scrolling search results. Most small business websites aren't structured for that at all — which makes it one of the best opportunities right now. Plan-It builds answer engine optimization into every SEO engagement: structured data, quotable content, and the consistency signals AI systems look for when deciding which business to mention.

Good to know

Common questions

How long does SEO take to show results?

Local SEO improvements often show within two to three months, while competitive terms can take six months or more. SEO is cumulative — which is why retainer work typically has a three-month minimum.

What's the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO helps you rank in traditional search results. AEO — answer engine optimization — helps AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews find, understand, and cite your business when people ask questions. Plan-It builds for both.

Do I need ongoing SEO or just a one-time fix?

It depends on your market. Some businesses just need technical issues fixed and a solid foundation — a one-time audit and cleanup. Competitive markets usually need ongoing work to hold and grow rankings.

Can you help my business show up in AI search results?

Yes. That means structured data your site may currently be missing, content formatted the way answer engines pull from, and consistent business information across the web — all part of how Plan-It builds and optimizes sites.
