SEO NOTE
Your website is the center
Social profiles, listings and reviews all point back to one place. Make that place fast, clear and worth finding.
Answer the question
People ask search engines and AI tools real questions. Pages that answer them plainly are the ones that get quoted.
Complete your profile
A Google Business Profile with every category, service, photo and hour filled in is one of the most valuable ranking helps there is.
Ask for the review
Every happy customer is a chance for a review. One tap with a direct link beats a hope and a prayer.
Count calls, not clicks
Traffic is a means. Track the calls and booked jobs that come from it and judge your marketing on those.

Results firstResults-based, not report-based.
By our founder’s count, roughly nine in ten marketing companies push ads and send long reports. We do the opposite.
- The website is the center of the business, so we build and grow that first
- Our founder has never run an ad, and we do not push them
- We take one client per trade in a market, so we never compete against ourselves
- We never sell leads, and what we build is yours
- No contracts. We earn your business every month
- Short reports that answer one question: did the phone ring?
A page, a plan and a pro for every kind of marketing.
Search optimization, AI and answer engines, websites, content and reputation, social and email, analytics and strategy.

Quick answers.
Is the SEO audit really free?
Yes. We look at your site, your profile and your competitors and walk you through what we find, with no obligation. You approve any work in writing before it begins.
What does one client per trade mean?
In any market we take a single client in each trade, so we never compete against ourselves and every effort goes toward your results.
Are you results-based or report-based?
Results-based. We measure calls, customers and booked work first, and we keep reports short and plain.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO earns rankings in search results, AEO earns the quoted answer in featured boxes and voice assistants, and GEO earns mentions in AI search answers. They share one foundation.
Do I need to run ads?
Only if you are a new company that needs leads right now. Our founder has never run an ad, and we do not suggest them otherwise.
Ready for the boom?
Many companies are down this year because homeowners are holding their projects until next year. When those projects are released, the companies that already own the top spots will win them. Our team is ready to put you there.

Top Search SEO provides search engine optimization, answer engine and AI search optimization, local search, website design and development, content, reputation, social media, email, advertising management, analytics and training. Search engines and AI tools make their own decisions, so no company can promise a particular ranking or result, and timelines and outcomes vary with competition, starting point and effort. Calculators, scorecards, audits and checklists on this site are planning references, not legal, accessibility or compliance advice. Advertising and review rules differ by industry and state, so confirm requirements that apply to your business.
