WHAT WE DO

SEO, Google Ads and WordPress website services

The right first project depends on where customers get stuck. We look at how they find the offer, which page opens and whether they can reach your team.

01GET FOUND

SEO, Google Maps and AI search visibility

We find which searches should reach each priority service. We improve the agreed pages and links, review technical access and manage eligible Business Profiles where included. For AI search, we check what answers cite and which facts about your service can be verified.

One priority service is enough to start. We compare how customers find it and where their requests go, then discuss the smallest scope that would help.

WHERE WE START

Find the first marketing problem worth fixing

Choose the situation closest to yours. Each check starts with what your customers can see and the action your team needs.

Talk through the problem
Local customers can’t find our main service

We compare the service and area with the pages and eligible profiles that appear for relevant searches. The first scope can include a page correction, a clearer Maps listing or a technical fix that helps customers find the right destination.

How local SEO works →
Google Ads leads are outside our scope

We review the search terms, coverage settings, ad promise and landing page together. We check which action the account counts and which requests your team can accept before proposing a budget or targeting change.

How Google Ads is managed →
Website visits aren’t turning into enquiries

We follow a common mobile route from the service page to a call, form or booking. We check whether the offer is clear, whether the controls work and where the request goes. A focused change can help when the issue is limited to one part of the site.

What website design includes →
We don’t know what AI search says about us

We review selected questions and record the sources an AI product cites. If an answer uses old service information, we trace the source and identify the site, listing or public reference that can be corrected.

HOW WE WORK

How BayRanks reviews, implements and checks the work

We agree the priority service and useful customer action, define which pages or accounts need work, then verify what changed.

1. Understand your goals

We learn what you sell, where you deliver and which calls or bookings are useful.

2. Audit and agree the plan

We review the relevant pages and accounts, then agree the work, approvals and checks.

3. Do the work and review it

We make the approved changes and show what passed, what is pending and the evidence for the next decision.

PAID ADVERTISING

Google Ads spend, conversions and lead quality

Before campaigns launch, we agree on the services to promote, target locations, budget, conversion tracking and the landing page. Once they’re running, we review real search terms, exclusions, ad messages and lead quality.

We report what was spent, which enquiries were recorded, what changed and the next test. We separate media spend from management fees and use your team’s feedback to assess whether the requests fit the offer.

WEBSITE DESIGN

WordPress websites that support the next customer action

People compare businesses on their phones. They want to know whether you handle their job, how you work, what they can trust and how to get in touch.

We plan the service pages and contact routes before building. The agreed WordPress scope can include approved copy, forms, mobile use and search settings. At handover, we show where your staff can update the service information and what we tested on the released site.

Search, answers and brand discovery

GEO and AEO: useful answers, relevant coverage and a brand buyers can verify

Customers can research a business in Google, an AI answer, a community discussion or a trade article. BayRanks can connect your website answers with relevant, attributable information across those sources.

Answer the questions behind the enquiry

Answer engine optimization, or AEO, makes your service, conditions and evidence easy to understand. We improve direct answers, comparisons and FAQs around the decisions customers make. The same service facts should hold together on your website, business profiles and approved contributions.

Generative engine optimization, or GEO, adds research into selected AI answers and their sources. We can compare how ChatGPT Search, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Copilot and Perplexity describe the business, then identify useful content and source opportunities.

Put expertise in places the right audience uses

The plan can include relevant Reddit and Quora answers, LinkedIn explanations, YouTube demonstrations and specialist forums. Contributions should help the reader and disclose the business connection when a brand or service is mentioned. We choose channels by audience and rules.

Editorial guest posts, expert quotes, interviews, original research, genuine partner stories and existing mention reclamation provide other routes to accurate coverage. We research the source, develop an original contribution, collect your approval and verify any live placement. A proposal names the work and costs rather than treating every possible channel as automatically included.

Review the public work and what it led to

You can see the question sample, source map, approved material, public URLs and next review. Ahrefs Brand Radar or Semrush AI visibility features can support answer monitoring, while Google Alerts and Mention can help discover public references. The chosen tools and access are agreed in scope.

A brand mention, an AI citation, a website visit and a suitable enquiry are separate observations. We report them that way so the next decision follows the evidence. Explore our GEO and AEO services and brand-mention and source-mapping guide. Google’s AI features documentation explains the Search foundations.

MONTHLY WORK

What BayRanks reports after the work goes live

We show the released work and relevant checks first. In an ongoing engagement, we compare available search and campaign data with the requests your team can use, then agree which service, page or campaign needs attention next.

INDUSTRIES

SEO and website work by industry

A contractor wants quote requests for the jobs it can take on. A law firm needs consultations for the matters it handles. A dental practice needs patients who understand its services and can book easily.

We connect each business to the searches, information and next steps that fit how its customers make a decision.

Contractors & trades ↗ Law firms ↗ Dental practices ↗

Start with the customers you want more of.

A practice can need clear appointment options. A supplier can need a quote request that includes the right specifications. We match the pages and enquiry route to the work the business can actually take.

SCOPE & PRICING

Project scope, account access and costs

Before you decide, you can ask us for:
  • A written breakdown of the recommended work
  • The reporting format and how leads will be counted
  • Who needs access to each business account
  • What happens during the first month
What affects the fee

Number of sites and locations, website condition, campaign complexity, content or design work, and reporting requirements.

Who controls the accounts

We record who controls WordPress, Google Ads, analytics and profiles, and who can approve or release changes. Your proposal shows media spend separately from agency fees.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Bay Area SEO, Google Ads and website FAQs

These answers explain which work can help, what BayRanks checks and what your team can expect to review.

What does a Bay Area SEO agency do for an established business?

BayRanks connects the services you want to sell with the pages, listings and customer actions that support them. An SEO scope can cover search research, page improvements, technical fixes and reporting on enquiries the business can use.

How long does SEO take to show results?

SEO timelines depend on the pages, competition, site condition and how search engines process the changes. We agree milestones for research, implementation and release checks. Later reviews look at available visibility and enquiry evidence.

How do local SEO and Google Business Profile management fit together?

Google Business Profile management covers an eligible listing, its facts and the actions it offers. Local SEO also covers the service and location pages customers reach and how those pages support a call, visit or booking.

What can AI SEO and GEO improve?

AI SEO and GEO can make service facts easier to find and verify across your site and relevant sources. We review selected AI answers, trace the cited information and agree which facts or access settings need attention. Each platform controls the answers it displays.

Do I need SEO and Google Ads at the same time?

The right mix depends on your goal, budget and how customers currently find you. Google Ads can help test demand for a defined offer. SEO can improve the pages and information customers use in unpaid search.

Can BayRanks improve the WordPress site we already have?

Yes. We can scope focused changes to WordPress service pages, navigation, forms or search settings. If the issue runs through the site’s structure and several templates, we can discuss a larger redesign with a launch plan.

Who owns our website and marketing accounts?

Your business can keep ownership of its website, Google Ads account, analytics and eligible Business Profiles. We agree the access needed for the work and document the relevant assets and editing responsibilities at handover.

How does BayRanks measure whether marketing brings in useful enquiries?

We agree what counts as a useful action, such as a call, appointment or quote request. Reporting separates visibility, tracked actions and requests your team can serve. We use those observations to decide what to change or test next.

Does BayRanks provide GEO and AEO as well as SEO?

Yes, we can scope GEO and AEO alongside organic SEO, local search and website work. The service can cover clear answers, AI source research, relevant community contributions, editorial guest posts and digital PR. We show the deliverables, approvals and measurement before work starts.

How do you help a brand earn useful mentions?

We research the audience and source, then develop an original contribution the business can support. That can be an expert answer, guest article, interview, research resource or genuine partner story. We verify accepted coverage and report later citations or referrals separately.
