Content

Your buyers search Google and ask ChatGPT before they ever visit your website. If your content doesn't show up in both places, you're invisible at the exact moment your buyers are looking for help. SEO and AEO make sure you're there.

Sound Familiar?

Your Buyers Can't Find You When They're Looking.

  • Your website doesn't rank for any of the keywords your buyers actually search when they have the problem you solve.
  • You've published dozens of blog posts but organic traffic has been flat for months.
  • AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews never mention your business, even for topics you're an expert in.
  • Your competitors show up on page one for terms that should be yours because they invested in SEO and you didn't.

That's exactly what a combined SEO and AEO strategy fixes.

The Sidekick Approach

How We Help

Video Coming Soon

SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) ensure your business shows up when buyers search Google and when they ask AI tools for recommendations. We handle the technical foundation, the content optimization, and the structured data that search engines and AI answer engines need to find, understand, and recommend your business.

Sidekick's approach covers both traditional SEO and the emerging field of AEO. On the SEO side, we fix technical issues, optimize existing content, build topic authority, and create keyword-targeted content that ranks. On the AEO side, we structure your content so AI tools can parse, cite, and recommend your business in their answers.

This isn't a one-time audit. It's an ongoing program that builds your organic visibility month over month. Search rankings and AI citations compound over time, and the businesses that invest now will dominate the results for years.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked About SEO / AEO.

What's the difference between SEO and AEO?+
SEO optimizes your content for traditional search engine rankings. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures your content so AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews cite and recommend your business. You need both in 2026.
How long does SEO take to show results?+
Most businesses see measurable improvements in 3 to 6 months. Technical fixes and quick wins can show results sooner. SEO compounds over time, so results accelerate the longer you invest.
How much does SEO / AEO cost?+
Monthly retainers range from $3,500 to $7,500 depending on site size, competition level, and scope. We scope everything on a free strategy call.
Do you write the content or just optimize it?+
We do both. We optimize your existing content and can create new SEO-targeted content as part of the engagement. For high-volume content needs, we can bundle with our Content Creation service.
Can you guarantee rankings?+
No ethical SEO provider guarantees specific rankings because search engines control the algorithm. We guarantee disciplined execution of proven strategies and transparent reporting of results.
