AI SEO Services for Small Business
Customers find you first. You stop chasing leads.
SEO built for the world that exists now: Google still matters, but ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews are increasingly where customers ask questions and get answers. We optimize your site to rank in traditional search AND to be cited as the answer in AI engines. The goal isn't traffic — it's qualified customers finding you when they're ready to buy.
What you get.
- Full technical SEO audit + fixes (Core Web Vitals, schema, crawlability)

- On-page optimization for every priority page
- GEO setup — llms.txt, FAQ schema, AI citation engineering
- Local SEO if applicable (Google Business Profile, citations, reviews)
- Monthly reporting: rankings, AI mentions, qualified traffic, leads
What it looks like in practice.
A regional roofing company went from page 4 of Google for 'roofing [city]' to position 3 in 90 days, generating an average of 12 inbound quote requests per week.
A B2B consulting firm became the cited source for two relevant queries in ChatGPT and Perplexity, generating ~40 inbound discovery calls per month from AI engine referrals alone.
A specialty medical practice grew organic appointment bookings from 8/month to 47/month over six months through targeted long-tail content + local SEO.
Common questions
- How is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?
- Traditional SEO targets Google search rankings. AI SEO (also called GEO — Generative Engine Optimization) targets both Google rankings AND being cited as the answer in AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. The techniques overlap significantly — both reward clear, structured, authoritative content — but AI SEO adds specific tactics: llms.txt files, FAQ schema, passage-level citability, and brand-mention engineering.
- How much does AI SEO cost?
- Odyssey AI's AI SEO service is $2,500/month with a 3-month minimum. That covers technical audit and fixes, ongoing content optimization, GEO setup, monthly reporting, and direct strategist access. No setup fee. For multi-location or larger sites (50+ pages), pricing scales.
- How long does AI SEO take to show results?
- Most clients see measurable lift in 60-90 days for low-to-medium competition keywords, and 4-6 months for competitive keywords. AI citations (being cited in ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) typically appear within 30-60 days once the GEO foundation is in place. SEO is a compounding investment, not a quick win.
- Do you guarantee Google rankings?
- No, and you should be skeptical of anyone who does. Google's algorithm is outside any agency's control. What we guarantee: best-practice technical foundation, intent-aligned content, transparent reporting, and clear monthly progress against the baseline we set on day one.
- Will AI SEO work for a brand-new website?
- It can, but the timeline is longer. New domains have no authority and no ranking history, so we lead with content + technical foundation + local citations to build authority signals. Expect 6-9 months to meaningful organic traffic. For brand new sites, we often recommend pairing SEO with a short paid-search runway to bridge the gap.
- Do you work with local businesses on local SEO?
- Yes. For local businesses, we optimize Google Business Profile, build local citations across major directories, manage review signals, and target geo-modified keywords. Local SEO is included in the $2,500/month engagement when applicable.
- What's included in monthly reporting?
- Keyword ranking changes for tracked terms, organic traffic by landing page, AI engine mention tracking (ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity), conversion data (form fills, booked calls), backlink growth, and a written summary with next-month priorities. Reports arrive in your inbox by the 5th of each month.
