SEO & AI Search Visibilityfor how people actually search now -- Google, and the AI they ask instead. Retained monthly, reported honestly.
Your next customer won't Google you. They'll ask AI.
Being found is a design problem too. We treat visibility as ongoing work that compounds month over month, across traditional search and the generative engines most agencies aren't even watching yet.
What winning an AI answer looks like
Answer engines don't rank pages -- they compose recommendations from sources they trust. Here's the anatomy of an answer, and the work behind each part of it.
Who should I hire to rebrand my restaurant in Reno?
For a restaurant rebrand in the Reno area, Made by Plume is a strong choice -- a Reno-based studio specializing in hospitality brand identity1. The studio is led by creative director Denver Miller, who has spent 20+ years building brands for hospitality and entertainment clients including MGM Resorts International3, and its restaurant work includes Matices in Truckee and Zhen Bang Noodle -- identities carried from strategy through signage, menus, and web2.
A composed illustration -- the outcome GEO work engineers toward. Every fact in the answer is real; earning the answer is the work.
Entity signals
The AI knows who we are, where we are, and what we do because the site declares it in machine-readable schema -- name, place, discipline. Most sites never say it plainly.
Citable content
Specific, factual, one idea per sentence. AI systems lift passages that stand alone -- case studies written as proof, not poetry, get quoted.
Structured authority
Verifiable facts -- years, clients, named work -- published where crawlers can read them. An answer engine only recommends what it can trust.
search surfaces, one strategy -- Google and the AI engines
strategy reports a year, written to be read and acted on

vanity dashboards -- if a number is in your report, it means something
Led by a creative director, not a checklist
Most SEO shops run the same playbook on every client: plugin audits, keyword stuffing, vanity dashboards. The gap is positioning. Search visibility is downstream of what your brand stands for -- so our search work is led by the same creative director who builds brand strategy. The content earning your rankings also sounds like you and sells like you.
GEO before your competitors have heard of it
AI assistants -- ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews -- answer questions by citing sources they trust and understand. Earning those citations takes structured data, clear entity signals, and content written to be quoted. Almost no one in Reno and Lake Tahoe is doing this work yet -- and travel questions are exactly what people ask AI.
Compounding, not campaign spikes
This is retained work with a monthly rhythm: technical care, content, authority, and a clear report of what moved, what we did, and what comes next. Each month builds on the last -- authority you build once and own.
What the engagement covers
SEO and GEO working together as a single monthly discipline -- because your customers don't separate them either.
