The rules of SEO have changed. Google’s AI Overviews are here, and businesses that don’t adapt will be left behind. If your rankings are dropping or your traffic is flat, it’s not your fault—it’s because the game has changed.
I’m Aaron Rains, an independent SEO consultant with over 15 years of experience. I help businesses like yours navigate the shift from traditional SEO to the new world of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), turning AI from a threat into your biggest growth opportunity.
Let’s discuss your business goals!
Traditional SEO focused on ranking in a list of ten blue links. The new SEO is about becoming a trusted, cited source for AI engines like Google, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. My job is to make you that source. I act as an extension of your marketing team, providing the strategy and execution you need to dominate the new era of search.



Stop losing traffic to AI. I’ll build a comprehensive strategy to get your brand cited in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity—turning these platforms into a new traffic source.
