What It's Actually Like to Work With Us
Why don't you use traditional Account Managers?
Because account managers just play broken telephone with your strategy. When you need to push a complex schema update or fix a drop in traffic, you don't have time to wait for a middleman to ask an engineer. With us, you talk directly to the strategists and developers actually touching your website. It's faster, and nothing gets lost in translation.
How is your team structured for AI and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AI tools like ChatGPT don't read websites the way humans do; they look for structured data and hard facts. To optimize for that, you can't have your content writers in one silo and your web developers in another. We put our search experts in the same room as our code engineers. They work together to ensure your site feeds AI exactly what it needs to cite your brand as the authority.
Who actually does the work on our account?
A lot of agencies sell you with their senior partners, then hand your account to a junior hire the second you sign the contract. We don't play that game. We operate a boutique, veteran-only team. The expert you talk to during the discovery call is the exact same person analyzing your data, writing your strategy, and doing the actual work.
How do your web developers and SEO strategists collaborate?
SEO isn't just about keywords anymore; it's about site speed, mobile rendering, and clean code. That's why our devs and search strategists share the same screen. The developers build fast, technically sound websites, and the SEOs inject the right data structures into the code as it's being built. It's baked in from day one, not slapped on as an afterthought.
How do you stay current as search and AI change so fast?
We have been navigating algorithm shifts since 2001. Every major change in search, from the early Google updates through the rise of AI engines like ChatGPT and Gemini, is something we have lived through and adapted to in real client programs. That is not something you can learn from a webinar. Marxi, our proprietary AI, also keeps our team ahead of changes that most agencies won't see coming for months.
How do we communicate with your team during a campaign?
We hate slow email chains just as much as you do. When you come on board, we set up shared, live team chat channels directly with you and your staff. If you have a question, or if a Google update rolls out overnight, you just drop a message in the channel and talk instantly to the people running your account. It feels like we're just down the hall.
