How we do this differently

The Creative Nomads approach.

  1. 01

    Authority before tactics.

    Schema, named entities, internal linking. Trying to win on long-tail keywords without the structure underneath is empty calories.

  2. 02

    AI search is search.

    We optimize for the LLM crawlers (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, ClaudeBot) as first-class citizens, not afterthought.

  3. 03

    Local where it matters.

    For multi-location businesses, we treat each city as its own SEO project. Named pages, geo schema, citation maintenance.

  4. 04

    Honest reporting.

    Monthly written report. What changed, what worked, what we are testing next. No vanity metrics.

Pricing

Published tiers. No coyness.

Available as a one-time audit or as an ongoing retainer. Most clients start with one then move to the other.

  3. SEO retainer Recommended

Pricing is what it costs, not what we hope you’ll spend. Phased delivery is available for nonprofit budgets, we phase scope, not price.

Common questions

Asked before they hire us.

  • How much does SEO cost?

    A one-time technical SEO audit runs $4,500 to $9,000 with a prioritized fix list. Ongoing retainers run $1,000 to $3,500 per month with a written report every month. The free three-minute Digital Legitimacy Score at score.creativenomads.com is the honest place to start.

  • How long until SEO shows results?

    Structural fixes (schema, indexation, internal linking) often show movement in weeks. Ranking gains on competitive terms take months and compound from there. Anyone promising page one in 30 days is selling you something; we publish what we changed and what moved, every month.

  • What is AI search optimization?

    Making your site legible to the AI answer engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Structured data, definition blocks, FAQ schema, and content the LLM crawlers can extract and cite. It is the same discipline as SEO with a new set of readers, and we treat those crawlers as first-class citizens.

  • Do you guarantee rankings?

    No, and you should walk away from anyone who does. Google makes no such deal with them. What we commit to is the structural work, honest monthly reporting, and compounding gains you can see in Search Console yourself.
