What this means for your business
What makes our approach to Home Services different
Most agencies still sell 2018-era SEO. We don't. Our Home Services methodology blends technical SEO foundations, EEAT-rigorous content, real authority links, and AI-search optimisation (GEO + AEO). You get a senior strategist, live dashboards, monthly strategy calls, and transparent reporting. Engagements run a 90-day initial period, then month-to-month with 7 days' notice — no long lock-in.
Realistic 90-day outcomes
On a typical Home Services engagement, the first 30 days deliver a 100-point audit, a prioritised roadmap, and technical foundation fixes (CWV, schema, internal linking). Days 31-60 add a content production cadence, the first authority links from real publications, and AI-search optimisation passes. Days 61-90 aim for the first ranking movement and AI citations beginning to register, with a clear next-quarter strategy. Timelines vary by market and competition, and results are never guaranteed.
EEAT signals we build into every page
Every page we publish for Home Services campaigns aims for: clear authorship and human review, citations from primary sources (Google Search Central, Moz, Ahrefs, SEMrush, government publications), original research where applicable, structured Q&A formatting for AI-search citability, accurate schema markup (Article, FAQPage, Organization, BreadcrumbList), and transparent published + updated dates. This is the rigour Google's quality raters reward — and the rigour ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude reward with citations.
Why AI search optimisation matters now
AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews) are taking a growing share of search-driven discovery in most categories. Brands that start now build citation share their competitors will later have to claw back. Every Home Services engagement on our Growth tier and above includes GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) work — schema completeness, structured Q&A rewrites, primary-source citation language, and monthly probe tracking of the major AI engines.
How Home Services fits with our other services
Our work is most effective when Home Services is integrated with the rest of our service stack — technical SEO foundation, content marketing engine, authority link building, local SEO if relevant, and AI-search optimisation. Most clients start with Home Services as the lead service and expand into one or two adjacent services within the first 90 days. We never push add-ons — we recommend what your data shows will actually compound.
