Your agreement is signed and the work is already moving. This is your home base: the concrete, sequenced plan for exactly what we’ll do over the next six months — across both engines, Local SEO and Local AEO — how our monthly content cadence works, and the short list of access we need from you to flip everything from plan to live.
There are now two places a local customer finds you: the classic Google results, and the AI answers that increasingly come before them. Your Market Dominator plan runs both, together — everything in the plan below feeds one or both of these.
The Google results and the local map pack — where most “near me” clicks still land. Google Business Profile, the local pages that rank, the reviews and technical signals the pack rewards.
Answer Engine Optimization — getting named and cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overview “who’s the best near me.” Answer-shaped content, schema, and presence in the sources AI trusts.
We run your campaign as a repeating monthly engine, front-loaded with a one-time foundation in month one. Month 1 makes your site legible to Google and to AI; month 2 builds review velocity and starts content; months 3–6 compound that into ranking and AI-citation movement. Each phase names the work and how we’ll know it’s landing. [SEO] and [AEO] tags show which engine each item feeds.
The heavy, one-time lift happens here — mostly behind the scenes. We make your site readable to Google’s index and to AI answer engines, and stand up your local profile. You won’t see ranking jumps yet; this is the plumbing everything else depends on.
With the foundation set, we attack the signal that decides the map pack — review velocity — begin publishing the content your customers (and the AI) search for, and start claiming the sources AI cites.
The compounding begins. As schema and answer content get indexed and ingested, we expect the first ranking and AI-citation movement — usually on the lower-competition terms first.
This is where consistent work typically starts converting into rankings, calls and form fills on your core terms — and into being named in the AI answers. We keep compounding content, reviews, and authority.
We guarantee the work above. We do not guarantee specific rankings, traffic, leads, or a fixed spot in an AI answer — anyone who does is misleading you, because those outcomes ultimately sit with Google’s and the AI engines’ algorithms, not with any agency. Two honest caveats shape the timeline: proximity is the single biggest factor for “near me” searches and we can’t move your building (we win every other signal), and the AI surface changes fast — engines update how they pick and cite businesses often, which is exactly why we manage it monthly. We’d rather show you the truth in the monthly report than sell you a date we can’t hit.
Every month we deliver that month’s content for your review. You always get to vet anything going out under your name — while we keep the steady cadence that’s what actually makes search and AI work. Here’s exactly how it runs.
Each month we send you that month’s content for review.
Give a thumbs-up, or send back one consolidated set of edits in a single reply.
If 5 business days pass with no response, the content is deemed approved and we publish — so your busy weeks never stall momentum.
Because we host your site, anything can be edited or pulled the same day at your request — even after it’s live.
Why “deemed approved” matters: SEO and AEO only work on a consistent cadence, and the most common thing that stalls a campaign is content sitting unreviewed during a busy stretch. This keeps you fully in control of accuracy — you can vet everything — without your calendar becoming the bottleneck. You’re never locked in: if anything’s ever off, we fix or remove it immediately, even after publication.
Everything below is read-only where it can be. We’ve teed up everything on our side; the client-grant items are the only thing standing between you and a fully live campaign and dashboard. The faster they’re connected, the faster the work shows up where it counts.
Grant access to the three Google properties above — Analytics, Search Console, and Business Profile — to victor@thomasdigital.com. That’s the whole ask, about ten minutes total. We’ll send a one-click walkthrough for each, and the moment they land, your dashboard goes live.
The foundation work starts this week on our side. Grant the three Google accesses when you have a few minutes, and watch for your first content batch — then your campaign turns from plan to real, on Google and in the AI answers.
