Search isn't about links anymore. It's about being the answer.

Old Search (2015-2024)

  • Rank on page 1 of Google
  • Chase keyword volume
  • Build backlinks for authority
  • Hope for the click

New Search (2025+)

  • Get cited in AI-generated answers
  • Optimize for intent clusters
  • Build citations AI models trust
  • Be the recommendation

Three layers of search visibility.

SEO
Search Engine Optimization
The foundation. Technical health, content strategy, local presence. Google still drives 70%+ of web traffic. We make sure you own your keywords.
Technical audits to fix crawl issues and speed. Content clusters that rank for buyer intent. Local SEO to dominate your area's map pack.
AIO
AI Optimization
Google AI Overviews now answer questions before users click. AIO ensures your business is the source those AI panels cite.
Structured content that AI models can parse and quote. Schema markup that feeds AI understanding. Authority signals that earn AI citation priority.
GEO
Generative Engine Optimization
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot. When someone asks an AI "who's the best plumber in Austin?" your name needs to come up.
Citation engineering across trusted sources. Entity optimization so LLMs know who you are. Content placement on sites AI models pull from.
SEO

Search Engine Optimization

Google's still the front door for 70% of web traffic. We build the technical foundation, content engine, and local presence that puts you on page one—and keeps you there.

Technical SEO Audit

Full crawl analysis, Core Web Vitals optimization, site architecture review, and indexation fixes. We find what's broken and fix it fast.

Content Strategy & Creation

Keyword research focused on buyer intent, topic clusters with pillar pages, and monthly content that compounds traffic over time.

Local SEO & Map Pack

Google Business Profile optimization, local citation building, review management strategy, and geo-targeted landing pages.

Link Building & Authority

White-hat outreach to industry-relevant sites, guest posting strategy, and digital PR to build domain authority that lasts.

»

Monthly Reporting

Keyword rank tracking, traffic analytics, conversion attribution, and competitive analysis. No vanity metrics—only what moves revenue.

On-Page Optimization

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, and schema markup for every page that matters to your business.

AIO

AI Optimization

Google AI Overviews answer 40%+ of queries before users click a single result. If you're not the source being cited in those AI panels, your competitor is.

AI Overview Audit

We analyze which of your target queries trigger AI Overviews, who's currently being cited, and where you're missing from AI-generated answers.

§

Structured Content Engineering

Content formatted specifically for AI extraction: clear Q&A pairs, definitive statements, structured data, and concise expert summaries.

Advanced Schema Markup

FAQ, HowTo, LocalBusiness, and custom schema that helps AI systems understand your expertise, services, and service area.

Authority Signal Building

E-E-A-T optimization: expert authorship, trust badges, review integration, and thought leadership positioning that AI models weigh heavily.

AI Citation Tracking

Monthly tracking of which AI Overviews cite your content, citation share vs competitors, and recommendations to increase your AI visibility.

Featured Snippet Capture

Position zero targeting for queries that feed into AI Overviews. The content format that wins snippets is the same format AI models prefer.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude "who's the best [your service] in [your city]?"—your name needs to come up. GEO makes that happen.

LLM Visibility Audit

We query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot for your target keywords to see if you're being recommended. Most SMBs aren't.

Citation Engineering

Strategic content placement on sources that LLMs pull from: Wikipedia-adjacent sites, industry directories, review platforms, and authoritative publications.

Entity & Knowledge Graph

Build your business identity across the knowledge sources AI models use: Wikidata, Google Knowledge Graph, industry databases, and structured data sources.

Multi-Platform Content

Optimized presence across platforms AI crawls: Medium, Reddit, Quora, industry forums, and review sites—all pointing back to your business as the expert.

AI Recommendation Tracking

Monthly reports showing when and where AI chatbots recommend your business, competitor comparison, and progress toward top-of-mind AI visibility.

Conversational Query Optimization

Content optimized for natural language questions: "Who's the best...", "Where should I go for...", "Can you recommend..."—the way people actually talk to AI.

Enterprise agencies charge $10K/mo for this. We don't.

Most GEO and AIO agencies target Fortune 500 companies with enterprise budgets. RankShift was built from day one for the businesses that actually need this the most: local shops, service providers, and growing companies across the US.

Same strategies. Same AI visibility. Pricing that makes sense for a business doing $500K–$10M in revenue.
