The 90-Day Plan
90 Days to Prove It
We build one client generation engine for your niche: you pick Maps, Ads, or Local Services Ads, and we handle the rest. If we do not meet the lead generation goals established on day 1, we continue to manage your channel at no additional cost until those goals are reached.
- Who qualifies
- Established businesses in Vancouver and Camas, WA that can handle 10 or more new leads a month and that we believe we can help. No long-term contract.
- What the goals are
- The lead generation goals we agree on together on day 1, measured in valid phone calls and leads from high-value clients, not clicks or impressions.
- If we miss them
- We keep managing your chosen channel (Maps, Google Ads or Local Services Ads) at no additional management cost until the goals are reached. Ad spend, if any, is separate.

AI Search (AEO)
Show Up When Customers Ask AI, Not Just Google
People in Vancouver now ask ChatGPT, Google's AI answers, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations, and those tools name only a few businesses. We help make yours one they can find, understand and trust. This work is called AI search optimization, or answer engine optimization (AEO).
Be the answer
Clear, answer-ready content that responds to the questions customers ask, in plain language.
Look the same everywhere
Consistent business information and genuine reviews across Google, Bing, Apple and the directories.
Track it monthly
We repeat the same prompts each month and report what we find in plain language.
We track how your business shows up in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot, and the free audit includes your Clark County AI Index score. AI search work is included in our marketing packages. No one can promise a mention in an AI tool. Clear content and consistent information improve your chances.
