Why AEO & Local SEO Matter

Search has changed — and it’s still changing fast. Platforms like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, and voice assistants now deliver direct answers, not just a list of links. If your business isn’t optimized for this new landscape, you’re invisible to customers who never even click “search.”

That’s where Brass Ring comes in. We help businesses and nonprofits across Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Western New York get found and trusted through strategies built for both search engines and AI platforms.

Visibility That Goes Beyond Google

We don’t rely on trends or keyword stuffing. We build sustainable, real-world SEO and AEO strategies that help your business appear wherever people are searching—on Google, Maps, or emerging AI tools that power tomorrow’s results.

Our optimization supports visibility in:

  • Google Search and Maps for local discovery
  • AI-driven platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot
  • Voice assistants such as Siri and Alexa

Every plan focuses on clarity, structure, and credibility—three essentials for being featured in both human and machine-generated results.

How We Build Local SEO That Performs

Your business deserves more than generic marketing advice. Our local-first approach combines human insight with technical precision to help you rise above the noise.

Our strategies include:

  • Local keyword research based on actual user intent and search patterns
  • On-page optimization with refined meta tags, headers, and internal linking
  • Google Business Profile management for map and pack rankings
  • Comprehensive website audits to fix performance and usability issues
  • Content upgrades that improve trust, authority, and AEO compatibility
  • Schema markup for structured data that AI tools can read and feature

We don’t just help you show up in search—we help you become the answer people (and AI) rely on.

SEO for Both AI and Real People

Modern search engines reward clarity, accuracy, and trust. We optimize your site to perform across every layer of search:

  • AI Summaries: Align your site’s structure and copy with machine-readable data.
  • Voice Search: Target natural, conversational queries that reflect real-world speech.
  • Local Map Packs: Strengthen your business data, reviews, and location signals for consistent visibility.

Each strategy is fully customized to your market, audience, and goals—because ranking locally is about strategy.

What’s the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps your business rank in Google Search and Maps, while AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) prepares your website for AI-driven tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and voice assistants.

Brass Ring icon.
Do I really need AEO if I already have SEO?

Yes. AEO builds on SEO by focusing on how AI tools understand and display your business information. If your site isn’t optimized for AI-driven search, you risk being invisible to customers who never see traditional listings.

Brass Ring icon.
How long does it take to see results from local SEO?

Local SEO results typically appear within one to three months, depending on competition and how consistently your business information is updated. Our approach focuses on steady, lasting growth — not short-term tricks — to build visibility and trust over time.

Brass Ring icon.
Can you help my business appear in Google Maps and AI summaries?

Absolutely. We optimize your Google Business Profile, strengthen local citations, and add structured data (schema) so your business is recognized by Google Maps, AI Overviews, and voice assistants.

Brass Ring icon.
Do you work with businesses outside of Buffalo?

While we focus on Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Western New York, we work with clients in Rochester and the Finger Lakes. Our strategies adapt to your service region so your business connects with the right local audience.

What makes Brass Ring’s SEO approach different?

We focus on clarity, trust, and structure — not gimmicks or keyword stuffing. Every strategy we create is built around your actual customers, your local market, and how people search in 2025.

You’ll work directly with a real person who understands both design and search, not an automated platform.

Brass Ring icon.
Is SEO included with web design projects?

Yes. Every Brass Ring website includes foundational SEO and AEO — including page titles, descriptions, keywords, and technical setup — at no additional cost.

Do you guarantee results?

We guarantee quality work, clear communication, and ongoing support — but no one can promise specific search rankings or traffic numbers. What we do promise is a solid foundation that helps your business earn visibility, trust, and long-term growth online.
