// Agency

    A digital marketing agency built for search, AI answers and paid media.

    Organic search, generative engine optimization and paid media run as one program, measured against revenue rather than channel vanity metrics.

    Most digital marketing agencies are three siloed teams sharing a logo: an SEO pod chasing rankings, a paid pod chasing ROAS and a content pod chasing publishing volume. Nobody owns the number the business actually cares about. We run one program where organic, the AI answer layer and paid media share a keyword and entity map, a single measurement model and one prioritized backlog — so budget moves to whatever compounds fastest rather than to whichever channel lead argues hardest.

    // Key_Takeaways

    • One backlog across SEO, GEO and paid media instead of three competing roadmaps.
    • Every engagement opens with a $4,500 forensic audit that becomes the ticket queue.
    • Paid media is billed as a flat retainer, never as a percentage of your ad spend.
    • Reporting ties channel activity to pipeline and revenue, not impressions.
    • Guarantee: leading indicators move in 3–6 months or we refund our fees.

    A digital marketing agency that reports channel metrics instead of revenue is optimizing for its own renewal, not your growth.

    — Arise GEO, Digital Marketing Agency

    In 2026 the first impression of your brand is often an AI-generated summary you never got to write. Agencies that ignore the answer layer are optimizing for a shrinking surface.

    — Arise GEO, Digital Marketing Agency

    Percentage-of-spend billing pays an agency to spend more of your money. Flat retainers pay them to make it work.

    // Scope

    What a full program covers

    Technical SEO and site architecture, content and entity strategy, generative engine optimization, paid search, paid social, retail media and analytics. Channels are staffed to your situation rather than sold as a bundle.

    • Technical SEO, indexation and render diagnostics
    • Entity, schema and AI citation modelling
    • Content strategy, briefs and production oversight
    • Paid search, paid social, YouTube and CTV
    • Measurement, attribution sanity checks and reporting
    // Method

    Audit first, always

    We refuse to run a retainer on assumptions. The forensic audit maps crawl and render behaviour, indexation, architecture, content coverage, entity gaps, AI visibility, competitor position and paid account waste, and returns ranked tickets with acceptance criteria.

    • Two to three weeks, ten diagnostic stages
    • Ranked tickets with revenue-impact estimates
    • Credited into month one of a retainer
    • Yours to keep even if you never hire us
    // Operating model

    One team, one backlog

    A single strategist owns the account and the backlog. Specialists plug into tickets rather than defending channel budgets. Weekly async updates, monthly working sessions, quarterly re-forecasts.

    • Named strategist, not an account coordinator
    • Shared ticket queue across every channel
    • Weekly written updates, monthly live review
    • Quarterly re-prioritization against actual results
    // Fit

    When we're the wrong choice

    We're a poor fit for pre-product-market-fit startups needing brand invention, for teams wanting a body-shop of hours, and for anyone whose main requirement is publishing 60 AI-written posts a month. The August 2026 spam update made that last strategy actively dangerous.

    • Not a brand or creative-only agency
    • Not an hours-based outsourcing shop
    • Not a bulk content mill
    • Best fit: $2M+ revenue with real technical debt

    // Frequently_Asked

    Questions about this engagement.

    Do you work as our whole marketing team or alongside one?+

    Both models work. With an in-house team we act as the strategy and diagnostics layer and hand over implementation-ready tickets. Without one, we run the program end to end and coordinate your developers or platform partner directly.

    Which channels should we start with?+

    Usually whichever channel already has demand you're failing to capture. For most ecommerce and B2B sites that's organic and the AI answer layer, because the traffic is already searching and the fix is structural. Paid media scales what already converts; it rarely rescues a page that doesn't.

    How quickly do results appear?+

    Paid media changes show inside two to four weeks. Technical SEO fixes typically surface in four to ten weeks after recrawl. Content and entity work compounds over three to six months. We set leading indicators for each so nobody waits six months to learn whether it's working.

    What does working with Arise GEO cost?+

    Engagements start with a $4,500 forensic audit, credited into month one. Ongoing retainers run $6,500–$14,500 per month depending on scope, channel count and publishing volume. We don't bill a percentage of ad spend and we don't lock clients into 24-month contracts to hide slow starts.

    How is an AI-era agency different from a traditional one?+

    A traditional agency optimizes for ten blue links and a paid auction. We optimize for those plus the answer layer — AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini — where a growing share of commercial research now ends before anyone clicks. That means entity modelling, schema, citable content structure and measurement that separates classic organic clicks from assisted AI-influenced revenue.

    Do you have a guarantee?+

    Yes. Implement our 90-day plan and if the agreed leading indicators don't move within 3–6 months, we refund our fees. The guarantee covers our fee, not your media spend.

    How do we make sure our company shows up on AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini?+

    Three layers, in order. First, entity clarity: one canonical Organization with @id anchors, sameAs links to authoritative databases, and knowsAbout coverage of your real expertise. Second, extractable content: atomic answer blocks, comparison tables, transparent pricing and specs, and FAQ blocks on every commercial page. Third, corroboration: mentions in the roundups, directories, review platforms, and trade publications those engines retrieve. Measure it by probing a fixed set of buying questions monthly and tracking citation frequency per engine.

    What actually makes a page get cited by AI instead of just ranked?+

    Citability. AI engines lift passages that answer one question completely in 40–80 words, in plain language, with a concrete number, definition, or list. Pages that bury the answer under narrative rarely get quoted. We rewrite key pages so every important question has a self-contained answer block, wrapped in schema that labels what it is.

    Is SEO still worth investing in now that AI answers so many queries?+

    Yes, because AI answers are built from indexed pages. Every major assistant retrieves from a crawled index, so pages that aren't crawlable, renderable, or structured never enter the candidate pool. Classic SEO is now the entry requirement for AI visibility, and the two programs share almost all of the same work.

    How quickly can we expect results from an Arise GEO engagement?+

    Technical recovery and on-page work typically show movement in 30–60 days. AI citation lift on long-tail and comparison queries usually lands in 30–90 days. Category-level authority and head-term rankings are a 6–12 month curve. Every engagement ships a sequenced 90-day plan so early wins fund the long work.

    What do we get, and what does it cost?+

    You get a forensic audit, a prioritized 90-day execution plan with effort and impact scoring, and optional done-for-you implementation by our engineers and editors. Pricing is scoped per engagement based on catalog size, locale count, and whether you want execution included. Implement our 90-day plan and if you don't see results in 3–6 months, we refund you in full.
