Search and AI visibility for small business
SEO, AEO and GEO services that get you found on Google and in AI answers
Your customers still search Google. More of them now also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews who to call. If those tools can’t read your site or find consistent facts about you, they recommend someone else. We fix that, then build the pages that bring in calls.

What does SMB Marketing do for search?
SMB Marketing, Inc. is a marketing agency in Stuart, Florida that helps small businesses get found on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews. We combine traditional SEO with answer engine optimization (AEO), generative engine optimization (GEO) and AI optimization (AIO). Every engagement starts with the technical foundation: crawler access, consistent business details, schema markup and pages that answer real customer questions.

The real problem
Why good businesses don’t show up in search or AI answers
Most owners assume they need more content or more ads. In our audits the cause is usually simpler: search engines and AI tools can’t read the site, or they find conflicting facts and trust a competitor instead.
AI tools don’t guess. They pull from pages they can crawl, listings they trust and facts that agree with each other. When your phone number differs between your site and your Google profile, or your services are buried in a slider, you get left out of the answer.
Crawlers can’t read you
Content that only loads with JavaScript, a security plugin blocking bots or a stale sitemap can leave Google and AI tools looking at an empty page.
Conflicting business details
Two phone numbers, an old address on a directory or a different business name on your Google profile. Machines don’t know which one to trust.
No structured data
Without schema markup, search engines and AI tools have to guess your services, hours and service area from marketing copy.
Pages that never answer
Customers ask specific questions. If no page answers them plainly, AI tools quote a competitor who did.
Four disciplines, one path from question to customer
Each one handles a different way customers find you. Together they cover the full path, from the question someone types or asks out loud to the call they make.
1
SEO
Rank in search
Technical fixes, on-page optimization and local SEO so your pages show up in Google results and the map pack.
2
AEO
Become the answer
Content structured as clear questions and answers, so search engines and voice assistants can pull it directly.
3
GEO
Get cited by AI
Accurate, consistent facts across your site and the directories AI tools read, so ChatGPT and Perplexity describe you correctly.
4
AIO
Be understood
Schema markup, llms.txt and clean page structure that tell machines exactly who you are, what you do and where.
What’s included
SEO and AI search services built around leads, not rankings alone
A ranking report doesn’t pay the bills. We tie every fix and every new page to the calls, forms and booked jobs it should produce, then show you the numbers each month.

What we won’t promise
Nobody can guarantee a #1 ranking or that an AI tool will recommend your business. Anyone selling that is guessing. What we can do is make sure search engines and AI tools can reach your site, read it and get your facts right. That is the part you control, and it is the part most small business sites are missing.

SEO, AEO and GEO questions
What is the difference between SEO, AEO, GEO and AIO?
SEO improves where your pages rank in traditional search results and the Google map pack. AEO structures your content so it can be pulled as a direct answer, including voice results. GEO helps generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity find and describe your business accurately. AIO makes your business facts clear and consistent so AI systems can understand, trust and cite them. We run all four as one plan.
Do I still need SEO if people are using ChatGPT?
Yes. AI tools lean heavily on the same signals search engines use: pages they can crawl, clear facts, structured data and listings on sites they trust. Strong SEO is the foundation that AI visibility is built on.
How do you get a business to show up in AI answers?
Nobody can force an AI tool to recommend a business. What we can do is make sure AI crawlers are allowed in, your pages can be read without JavaScript, your name, address and phone match everywhere, your services and service area are stated plainly, and your schema markup and llms.txt file tell machines what you do. That is what AI tools use to decide what to say about you.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes can be picked up within days of the next crawl. Rankings and AI citations usually take 30 to 90 days to move, and longer in competitive markets. We report progress monthly so you can see what is changing.
What is included in the free search audit?
We check how your site looks to Google and to AI crawlers, test the questions your customers ask, review your Google Business Profile and directory listings, and look at what your top competitors are doing better. You get a short list of the fixes that matter most, in order.
How much do SEO and AI search services cost?
We give you a fixed-cost estimate before any work starts, based on the size of your site and how competitive your market is. Most clients continue month to month after the initial setup. There is no long-term contract.
Do you work with businesses outside the Treasure Coast?
Yes. We are based in Stuart, Florida and work with businesses in Port St. Lucie, Jensen Beach, Palm City, Hobe Sound, Jupiter, Vero Beach and Fort Pierce, plus clients nationwide. Local SEO work is the same process with a different map.
Who will I work with?
You work directly with founder Joe Paradiso and a small in-house team, not an account manager reading from a script.
