Full-Service SEO/GEO
Fancy agency quality. A fraction of the cost.
Smedley Digital is composed of a small team of specialists with backgrounds in big agency and in-house performance marketing divisions. But we do things differently than your major marketing agency.
Clients appreciate our down-to-earth way of explaining complex topics. And we use their budget only for what really matters.
What we do
We provide SEO and GEO recommendations and implementation for businesses of all sizes and industries.
From keyword research, to technical fixes, through implementation, we’ll cover everything from start to finish.
SEO & GEO
Optimize your site’s infrastructure for the latest search engine and LLM ranking algorithms. Track progress with easy-to-read reports.
Website Development
Launch a new site from scratch or redesign an outdated one. From simple Squarespace sites, to large eCommerce, and beyond.
Content Creation
Wordsmith your content to satisfy search engines and real people, too. Capture site visitors with helpful, keyword-driven articles (written by real people)!
-
Governance is a service in which we evaluate your existing SEO/GEO program, a proposed program, or vendors themselves: including work tickets, audits, emails, and so on. It answers your question of “is my SEO strategy/vendor working as well as it could?” After the evaluation, our engagement ends with no follow-up work. This is to demonstrate our commitment to eliminating any conflict of interest.
“Full service” SEO/GEO is where we actually become your vendor. We may actually build a new site for you, execute and implement SEO/GEO work, write articles, etc. We absolutely guarantee honest work regardless of how you work with us. -
Yes! This is a standard part of our “Search Everywhere Optimization” philosophy.
The actual optimization techniques for AI visibility are a 90% overlap with “traditional SEO”. Ultimately, we need to:Align your site’s language to the way customers search for your products/services
Ensure the site is easy for AI bots to crawl
Produce consistent, helpful content
Work with you to earn links and recognition in order to build trust/authority in the eyes of LLMS.

GEO is “Generative Engine Optimization”. It’s the practice of optimizing for AI/LLM visibility. Also referred to as AEO, AIO, and AI SEO.
-
SEO is an acronym for "Search Engine Optimization". Simply put, SEO's purpose is to configure websites in a way that will satisfy the latest search engine algorithms in order to gain visibility under valuable search queries.

A standard 20-page site build or redesign may range between $10-20K. This would include SEO, copywriting, design, and DEV implementation. Monthly retainers vary: minimal support may be $800/month while full service is $2,500/month.
For context, larger agencies of our caliber charge $50K+ for projects and $10K/month. The difference is simply a matter of overhead and inefficiencies.
-
In all likelihood, yes! However, there are cases where SEO isn't the best option.
Some industries require more SEO work than others because competitors have heavily invested into SEO for many years. For example, if you're a real estate agent in Austin, Texas wanting to rank on the first page for a valuable term such as "Austin realtor" — but you have a budget of only $500/month — you would be better served by paid advertisements.
Smedley Digital promises to be upfront with realistic performance expectations. We greatly value long-term, successful client relationships.
