Custom-crafted GEO & AEO solutions
When your customers ask Google AI Mode or ChatGPT who it recommends, your brand should be the answer. Tailored campaigns focusing on conversational prompts instead of generic keywords is the new way to be seen in searches. We look at the gaps in your online assets (website, GBP, social media profiles), fill them in with information AI and customers want to see, then track progress and pivot.
The good we do
bgood media achieved every goal I had set for our projects together, but I never knew that I’d come to RELY on Justin and bgood Media when I needed the most important tasks accomplished. You get to work with a company that’s true to their word, and CARES.

Laid-back coast. Serious results.
San Diego runs at its own pace. But when it comes to growth, your business expects real results. That’s when we come in.
Our team has been performing winning SEO and marketing strategies for over 15 years. We’ve worked on everything from small business sites to multi-million-page websites and driven millions in revenue along the way. Our focus is on the quality of our work; we take pride in it.
San Diego is home to surf brands, wellness retreats, skin care labs, and travel companies that care about doing things the right way! Focus on bringing value to a customer by doing things the right way. That’s our kind of partnership.
Our company operates out of San Diego; we know the area quite well. Our local team members, like our Marketing Director JJ, are stationed in North Park, so were close to the fun spots in SD but we don’t have to deal with the heavy traffic of I-5.
Each person on our team was hand-picked for their experience and professionalism. You’re investing in senior experts, not random people who “use AI” to build their strategies and have no real idea what they’re doing.
SEO services in San Diego
Most buying journeys still start on Google, and strong organic rankings are what AI search builds on. The SEO game has changed, and our team has put hundreds of hours into learning exactly how GEO and AEO results work. Our San Diego SEO services cover the traditional blue links and build your brand’s authority so AI will like you more.
eCommerce SEO
Selling online? Shopify brands can outrank Amazon easily when the fundamentals are done right. We build collection pages, clean up product feeds, and earn free Google Shopping listings for the terms your buyers really use. eCommerce SEO is where some of our biggest client wins come from.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile
Your Google Business Profile can be one of your best lead sources. We optimize it, grow your reviews, and build local pages that earn you a place in the Map Pack on Google and Bing, from Downtown to North County. We keep refining those pages with conversion rate optimization, so your leads keep climbing.
Technical SEO
Faster load times, cleaner code, and a site Google and AI platforms can read quickly and accurately. If search engines struggle to crawl your site, they won’t rank it. We audit, fix, and prove the improvement with real data, and your Core Web Vitals scores will show it.
Content & on-page SEO
We target the keywords that lead to sales, not just traffic. You get service pages that help customers choose you and articles written in your voice. Our clients tell us they barely touch what we write. That’s the whole point of having an SEO partner.
Authoritative Link Building
Real publications, earned mentions, and local citations. No cheap link packages, ever. We’ve seen what bad backlinks do to a site, and we won’t risk yours. Quality links build lasting authority, help you outrank competitors, and make AI platforms more likely to recommend you.
AI Search & AEO for San Diego brands
Your customers have changed how they search. As of mid-2026, AI Mode is Google’s default search experience. Instead of scrolling results, people ask ChatGPT for the “best reef-safe sunscreen for surfing,” ask Google to compare collagen supplements, and read the AI Mode answer before they ever see a blue link.
If your brand isn’t part of those answers, you’re missing a growing share of buyers.
AI search optimization, including GEO (generative engine optimization) and AEO (answer engine optimization), is how we get you in.
AI visibility audits
We test the real prompts your San Diego customers use across ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Then we map where you’re cited, where competitors show up instead, and why. From there, we focus on the AI platforms your customers actually use and optimize your site and online assets for them.
Brand mentions & entity authority
AI models trust what the web says about you, not just what you say about yourself. We fix inaccurate mentions, earn third-party coverage, and monitor review and Reddit sentiment, because AI reads all of it.
AI agent knowledge files
We create plain-language files that tell AI agents who you are, what you sell, and which pages matter most. Take a look at ours to see one in action.
Structured data & citable content
This is the technical side of AI search. We add schema markup, write clear answers, and organize your pages so AI systems can quote you with confidence. Google and other platforms are pushing hard into agent browsing, and those agents need easy access to your site to recommend you.
Personal Response Optimization (PRO™)
AI answers are getting more personal every month. PRO™ is our framework for targeting messaging to the exact situations your customers bring to AI, so you’re the relevant answer for the person asking. Free AI accounts show completely different results than paid ones with memory from past chats and the user.

Results that compound
We don’t chase vanity metrics. Here’s what compounding looks like for Felt Right, an acoustic panel ecommerce brand we partnered with on SEO and GEO:
- 17× return on SEO investment
- +115.8% year-over-year combined organic revenue
- +331% organic shopping purchases year over year
- 29 → 69 ChatGPT citations, with the brand now cited across five major AI platforms
- #52 → #6 for “acoustic wall panels” (12,000 monthly searches)
For coastal rental brand Sun-N-Fun, we rebuilt their booking website with page loads under 2 seconds and a structure designed for both search engines and AI citations. Conversions increased by 30% after launch.

FAQs for SEO & AI services in San Diego

Yes. We have team members based in San Diego who work with brands across San Diego County and Southern California. We’re happy to meet in person around town or over video, whichever works best for you.
What's the difference between SEO and AI search optimization?
SEO helps you rank in Google and Bing search results and the Map Pack. AI search optimization (GEO) helps your brand get cited and recommended in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other platforms. The two work best together, because AI answers rely on the same authority that drives rankings.
What's the difference between AEO, GEO, and SEO?
SEO gets your pages ranking in traditional search results like Google and Bing. AEO (answer engine optimization) structures your content so AI Overviews, voice assistants, and chat tools can pull your answers directly. GEO (generative engine optimization) builds the authority and brand mentions that get AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini to recommend you by name. We run all three together, because the same authority powers each one.
How long does SEO take to work?
Most sites see early movement in 3 to 6 months and real traction in 6 to 12 months. San Diego is a competitive search market, so a focused strategy matters. Because SEO compounds, the return keeps growing the longer you invest in it.
How long does AI search take to work?
AI search is a new channel, but we’ve seen results in as little as one month. AI platforms weigh different citation factors than Google’s algorithm does, and some of them are quick to improve with the right changes to your site and online presence.
How much do SEO & AI search services cost in San Diego?
Every engagement is scoped to your goals, your competition, and what your site needs, so we don’t sell cookie-cutter retainers. You’ll get a clear number after the strategy call. Our packages start at $5,000 per month. Quality work costs more than shortcuts, and it pays for itself many times over.
Can you get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
No honest agency can guarantee a recommendation for a specific keyword or prompt, since AI models decide what to cite. What we can do is make your brand much more likely to be recommended by improving your content, structured data, and mentions across the web, then tracking your citations so you can see the progress.
Do you only work with San Diego businesses?
No. We love working with San Diego and Southern California brands, but we partner with brands across the country, especially in travel and tourism, health and wellness, skin care, outdoor gear, and ecommerce stores in those verticals.
Do you guarantee first-page rankings?
No, not for every keyword, and be wary of anyone who does. Google changes constantly. We guarantee transparent reporting, senior attention, and a strategy built on what’s working for your business.
