Search Has Changed. Your Marketing Strategy Needs to Change Too.

Over half of all searches now happen through AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. Traditional Google rankings are still crucial, but they are only half the picture. When potential customers search on Google OR ask AI tools for business recommendations in your area, you need to show up in both. If you are only optimized for one, you are invisible to half your potential customers.

You Are Losing Customers to Competitors Who Dominate Google AND AI Search

Your Business Is Buried on Google

When you search for the services you offer, your website does not show up on page 1 or even page 2. Your competitors are getting all the clicks while you are invisible.

You Are Invisible in AI Search Results

When people ask ChatGPT or Google AI for business recommendations, your competitors get mentioned. You do not.

Traditional SEO Is Not Enough Anymore

You might rank on Google, but AI search engines pull from different signals. You need optimization for both.

You Have Tried SEO Before With Zero Results

You hired an agency, paid monthly fees, and saw nothing. Just vague reports and excuses while search continues to evolve.

You Need Someone Who Knows Both Traditional and AI Search Inside Out

I have spent 11+ years learning exactly how local customers search, what makes them click, and what it takes to rank in competitive markets. Now I am helping businesses get found in AI search results too. I do not use generic strategies or pass you to junior staff. You work directly with me, and I am accountable for your results every single month.

Why Local Business Owners Choose to Work Directly With Me

After 11+ years managing campaigns at a large agency, I learned what makes local marketing truly work. I also discovered what I love most: the direct relationships with business owners who are building something meaningful in their community.

That is why I started Root & Reach Media. I wanted to offer something different than the traditional agency model, a partnership where you work directly with an experienced strategist from day one, not an account manager who is learning on your dime.

I am based in Vancouver, WA, but I work with ambitious small business owners across the United States. Whether you are in Seattle, Austin, Charlotte, or anywhere in between, my local marketing and AI search strategies work the same. The only requirement? You are comfortable with PST business hours and working via video calls.

Direct Access

You work with me, not an account manager. My email, my phone, my expertise.

11+ Years of Local SEO & AI Search Experience

I know how local customers search, what makes them click, and what actually works in both traditional Google search and emerging AI search platforms.

Transparent Reporting

You see exactly what I am doing, what is working, and what is not. No smoke and mirrors.

No BS Promise

If SEO, AI Search Optimization, or Google Ads is not the right fit for your business, I will tell you. I would rather be honest than take your money.

Working With Small Business Budgets

I get it. You are not a giant corporation with unlimited marketing dollars. Most of my favorite clients are bootstrapping small business owners who watch every dollar.

If the packages above do not fit your budget, let us talk anyway. I can create a custom plan that focuses on your highest-impact opportunities first, then scale up as you grow. I would rather work with a motivated business owner on a smaller budget than not work with you at all.

FAQ

Questions I Get Asked Most

Straight answers to help you decide if we are a good fit.

AI Search Optimization (also called Generative Engine Optimization or GEO) ensures your business gets recommended when people ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and other AI tools for business recommendations. Over 50% of searches now happen through AI-powered platforms. If you are not optimized for AI search, you are invisible to a massive portion of potential customers. Traditional SEO alone is not enough anymore. You need both.

Local SEO typically shows initial improvements within 30 to 60 days (like better Google Business Profile visibility and increased map views), with significant ranking improvements in 3 to 6 months. AI Search Optimization can show your first citations in AI responses within 60 to 90 days, with growing visibility in 4 to 6 months. Google Ads campaigns generate leads much faster, usually within 2 to 4 weeks. I provide monthly reporting so you can track progress every step of the way.

No! While I am based in Vancouver, WA and specialize in the Pacific Northwest, I work with small businesses nationwide. Local SEO and AI Search Optimization strategies work the same whether you are in Oregon or Florida. The tactics for ranking in local search and getting cited by AI engines are universal. I currently have clients on the East Coast, Midwest, and throughout the West. As long as you are comfortable with PST business hours and video or phone communication, I would love to help you dominate your local market regardless of where you are located.

No. I work month-to-month because I believe I should earn your business every single month. If I am not delivering results, you can walk away anytime. No cancellation fees, no penalties. That is how confident I am in the work I do.

You work directly with me, not junior staff or account managers. I have 11+ years of experience managing local campaigns and I am now one of the early specialists in AI Search Optimization. You get personal attention, deep local market knowledge, and cutting-edge AI optimization strategies that larger agencies cannot provide because they are juggling 100+ clients across multiple account managers.

No, and anyone who guarantees specific rankings or citations is lying to you. Google algorithm has over 200 ranking factors and changes constantly. AI search engines use different signals and are still evolving. What I can guarantee is that I will use proven strategies that have worked for my clients over 11+ years, I will be transparent about what is working and what is not, and I will adjust our approach based on real data. That is the honest answer.

I hear this constantly, and it is exactly why I started Root & Reach Media. Most agencies lock you into long contracts, pass you to junior staff, and deliver vague reports that hide the fact they are not doing much. That is not how I work. You can cancel anytime, you work directly with me, and you see transparent monthly reports showing exactly what I did and what results we are getting. If you have been burned before, I totally understand the skepticism. Let us have a conversation with no pressure, and you can decide if this feels different.

AI search is still relatively new, which means there is less competition right now compared to traditional Google rankings. Businesses that optimize for AI search now are getting citations and recommendations while their competitors are still figuring out what AI search even is. This is a first-mover advantage. In 12 months, AI search optimization will be standard and much more competitive. The businesses that wait will spend more money and get fewer results. The window to get ahead is now.

Ready to Dominate Both Google and AI Search?

Let us talk about your business, your goals, and your budget. I will be straight with you about whether I can help and what it will take. No pressure, no audit requests, just an honest conversation about getting you found everywhere your customers are searching.
