What does SEO cost?
SEO is priced on its own, from how many locations should show up on Google. The free 2-minute assessment works out your price, and you can add a website, social media or ads any time.
Can you guarantee I'll rank number one?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. Google itself says no one can guarantee a number-one ranking (Google Search Central). What we guarantee is the work and the reporting: you'll see each month, from your own Google Search Console data, which searches show your business and where you stand.
How long until I see results?
Google Business Profile and site fixes can show within weeks. New pages usually take months: Google says four months to a year is typical before improvements pay off. Searches with little competition, like many trade-and-town searches and Spanish searches, tend to move faster.
What are AEO and GEO?
Answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization: getting your business quoted when people ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and other AI assistants instead of scrolling search results. It builds on SEO: clear answers on your pages, facts that match everywhere you're listed, and AI crawlers allowed to read your site.
More questions (4)Fewer questions
Do I need a new website?
Not always. If your site is fast, works on phones and you can edit it, we work with it. If it's slow, hard to change or built on a template that fights search engines, a new site built for search is often cheaper than patching the old one; we can build one, yours after 12 months.
Do you handle my Google Business Profile and reviews?
Yes. The profile decides who shows up on Google Maps for searches near the customer, so we set up your categories, services, service area and photos, and every customer gets a review request after the job.
Do you do SEO in Spanish?
Yes. We write Spanish pages the way your customers talk and set them up so Google shows the right language to each searcher. Spanish searches usually have less local competition, and when those customers call, Victoria answers in Spanish.
Who does the work?
Nathaniel Ross, the founder, leads it himself from Santa Barbara, and you talk with him on the setup call. Bring your website address, the services you most want to sell and the towns you serve, and he'll show you what people search for in your trade.
The details
In short
SEO (search engine optimization) is the work of getting your business shown when people search for what you do, on Google, on Google Maps and, more and more, in AI answers from ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews.
Cloud Conquer AI does it for small businesses and local trades: we find the searches your customers actually make, build and fix the pages and profile that answer them, in English and Spanish, and report what changed each month.
It's run by our founder, Nathaniel Ross, from Santa Barbara, for businesses here and across the country.
Every lead it brings gets answered: Victoria answers your calls and messages 24/7, so the traffic you earn turns into booked jobs.
What we do, in order
- Find what your customers search: real monthly search numbers for your services and towns, and the questions people ask before they hire, including in Spanish.
- Fix the basics Google checks first: speed, phones, broken pages, titles and the structured data that tells search engines what your business is and where it works.
- Build a page for each service and each area you want to win, written in your customers' words, not industry jargon.
- Set up your Google Business Profile properly: categories, services, service area, photos, and a steady flow of reviews from real customers.
- Make your business easy for AI assistants to quote: clear answers to the questions people ask, facts that match everywhere you're listed, and AI crawlers allowed in.
- Earn links and mentions from local organizations, directories and partners, the votes Google uses to decide who to trust.
- Report each month from your own Google Search Console data: which searches show you, where you rank and what's next.
Showing up in ChatGPT and AI search (AEO and GEO)
More customers now ask an AI assistant before they search: “who's a good plumber near me that speaks Spanish?”
Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are the names for getting your business into those answers.
The work overlaps with good SEO, with a few differences. AI assistants quote pages that answer a question plainly in the first lines, so each page leads with a direct answer.
They cross-check facts, so your name, phone, hours and services have to match on your site, your Google profile and every directory.
And they can only quote what their crawlers are allowed to read, so we make sure your site lets them in.
SEO in Spanish, too
About 45 million people in the U.S. speak Spanish at home (U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey), and many of them search in Spanish.
Few local businesses publish real Spanish pages, so there's usually less competition for those searches.
We write Spanish pages the way your customers talk, not machine-translated copy, and set them up so Google shows the right language to the right person.
When those customers call, Victoria answers them in Spanish.
Who it's for
Local businesses whose customers search before they call: trades, dental and medical offices, law firms, property managers, restaurants and shops.
It works best when you want customers you own, instead of paying a lead marketplace for the same customer three competitors also bought.
How long it takes, honestly
Fixes to your Google Business Profile and site basics can show within weeks. Ranking new pages takes longer.
Google's own guidance says that in most cases an SEO needs four months to a year to make improvements and then see the benefit, and that no one can guarantee a number-one ranking on Google (Google Search Central, “Do you need an SEO?”).
So we don't promise rankings. We promise the work, a monthly report from your own Search Console data, and that every call the work brings in gets answered.
