Free SEO and GEO audit

What happens before any paid project.

What is included in the free SEO and GEO audit?

You get a visibility baseline, 3 priority fixes, a Google and local search check, and a GEO readiness note showing whether AI answer engines can understand your business.

Is the free audit really free?

Yes. The first audit is free. If there is a fit, we can recommend a focused paid project after you see the findings.

What do you need from us to start the audit?

Usually we need your website URL, business type, target customers, main service area, and the goal you care about most, such as more calls, quote requests, or local visibility.

SEO and local visibility

How we improve search foundations and lead quality.

How long before SEO creates real results?

Some technical and conversion fixes can help quickly, but search visibility usually compounds over 3 to 6 months. The audit identifies the practical first step before ongoing work.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. No one can control Google's algorithm or AI answers. We commit to clear priorities, honest reporting, and execution focused on visibility, leads, and conversion.

Do you help with Google Business Profile?

Yes. We can review categories, services, description, photos, service areas, tracking links, and consistency between your profile, website, and local citations.

Working with MAXUOD

What a first project looks like.

What is the best first paid project after the audit?

For most small businesses, the best first step is a focused 30-day project: fix technical SEO blockers, strengthen local search basics, add GEO-ready service content, and make enquiries measurable.

Can you work alongside our existing team?

Yes. We can work with your developer, writer, or marketing manager. The first audit makes responsibilities clear so work is not duplicated.

How will we know if it's working?

We track the numbers that matter: search visibility, local impressions, enquiries, form submissions, and the fixes completed each month.

Do you work with businesses outside Nova Scotia?

Yes. We can support businesses across Canada and beyond, while giving extra local context to Nova Scotia companies that need regional SEO and GEO positioning.

Pricing and scope

How price ranges work before a quote is confirmed.

Why do prices use ranges?

Small business websites vary a lot. A clean five-page site with one service area takes much less work than a site with unclear service pages, missing tracking, inconsistent profiles, and no content structure.

Why not sell fixed SEO packages?

Fixed SEO packages often hide the real problem. Some businesses need a Google profile cleanup, some need service-page structure, and some need ongoing content and monitoring. We quote the smallest useful scope after the audit.

Do I need monthly SEO support right away?

Not always. Many businesses should start with a one-time foundation project first. Monthly support makes sense after the basics are clean and there is a clear reason to keep improving pages, content, reporting, or AI search visibility.

Why are workflow tools quoted after an audit?

Workflow tools depend on the process, integrations, data quality, and how the team will use them. We review the workflow first, then quote a practical first version with launch support and a clear handoff.

Custom AI Workflows

Internal tools and workflow audits for SMB operations.

What is a custom AI workflow?

It is a focused internal tool or process that uses software, automation, and sometimes AI to reduce repeated manual work such as intake cleanup, reporting, spreadsheet handoffs, or lead routing.

What is included in the free workflow audit?

We review the repeated tasks, spreadsheets, handoffs, reports, and tools that slow the business down. The goal is to decide whether a custom workflow is worth building and what a sensible first version would look like.

Do you publish prices for custom AI workflows?

No. We quote after a workflow audit, demo, or discovery conversation. Scope changes the work too much to publish useful prices, and we would rather tell you when custom software is not worth doing.

Does every workflow need AI?

No. Sometimes the best fix is a clearer dashboard, a better form, or a cleaner handoff between tools. AI is useful when it helps with research, summarization, classification, drafting, or repetitive reporting.

Can custom workflow work connect with SEO and GEO?

Yes. Search work can bring in demand, while custom workflows help the business handle leads, reporting, intake, and follow-up without adding unnecessary manual work.
