The Problem

Search Changed. Most Marketing Didn’t.

Your customers still search Google, check the map pack and read reviews. More and more, they also ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Google AI Overviews a simple question: who should I hire? Those tools answer with a short list of names and cite the sources they trust. If you are not on that list, you are not considered.

A good website and basic SEO are the start, not the finish. So when a customer asks AI who to call, does it say your name? Our AI services help make sure it does.

What Most Businesses Have

  • A website that looks fine
  • Some SEO, done once
  • A Google Business Profile

What It Takes Now

  • A site Google and AI can read
  • Rankings, listings and reviews
  • Citations in AI answers, plus follow-up

The Visibility Stack

Six Layers It Takes to Be Found, Chosen and Cited

Each layer builds on the one below it. Miss one, and the others work harder for less. Here is the map, and where to go for each part.

LAYER 01

Website

The foundation. Fast, clear and built so Google and AI can read it.

Explore Build and Convert

LAYER 02

Found

Show up in the map pack, listings and ads where buyers look first.

Explore Get Found

LAYER 03

Rank

Earn top spots with SEO, helpful content and outside mentions.

Explore SEO

LAYER 04

Cited by AI

Be the business AI answers name and link to.

Explore AI Services

LAYER 05

Convert

Turn visits into calls, forms and booked appointments.

Explore CRO

LAYER 06

Nurture

Follow up with every lead until they are ready to buy.

Layer 01: Website

Your Website Is the Foundation

Every other layer points back to your website. It has to load fast, work on any phone, make your offer clear and make calling you easy. It also needs the structure and schema that help search engines and AI tools understand what you do. Redesigning? We keep the rankings your old site earned.

Explore Build and Convert

Layers 02 and 03: Found and Rank

Get Found, Then Rank

Page two of Google does not ring. Are you on page one for the searches that pay? Local visibility and rankings are one job now, and we run them together.

LOCAL SEO

Local SEO and Google Business Profile

Win the map pack near you, with a profile, listings and reviews that match everywhere.

SEO

Search Engine Optimization

Rank for the searches that bring you clients, with fixes, pages and monthly reporting.

CONTENT AND DIGITAL PR

Content and Authority

Answers to what your customers ask, plus the outside mentions that build trust with people and AI.

GOOGLE ADS

Google Ads Management

The fastest way to be seen. Published fees, and the spend stays in your account.

Also see Digital PR, Paid Social and Search Visibility, SEO plus GEO from $1,000 a month. Explore Get Found

Layer 04: Cited by AI

The Layer Most Owners Miss

AI answers are built from sources the tools trust: your pages, your listings, your reviews and what others say about you. SEO is still the base. AI optimization sits on top of it, so your business is the one that gets named.

You cannot see what AI tells your customers unless you check. Our AI Visibility Audit asks the questions your buyers ask and shows what to fix first. It is $950 one time, credited toward setup within 30 days. Want it all in one plan? Authority Programs combine SEO, AEO and GEO from $1,500 a month.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Makes your page the answer AI tools quote, with clear structure and direct answers. Learn about AEO

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

Makes your business the one AI platforms recommend, through trusted mentions and consistent facts. Learn about GEO

Layers 05 and 06: Convert and Nurture

Turn Visits Into Customers, and Keep Them

A full pipeline means little if leads wait days for a reply. These two layers make sure every visit has a next step and every lead gets one.

LAYER 05

Convert

Visibility only pays when visits become customers. We build landing pages and run conversion rate optimization (CRO), launch lead generation campaigns with a clear target, and set up call tracking that shows which marketing worked.

LAYER 06

Nurture

Most buyers are not ready on day one. Email, automation and a CRM keep every lead moving, even when your team is busy. As a HubSpot Solutions Partner (we also implement Zoho and Pipedrive), we build in your portal, not ours.

Fuel and Direction

Your Story Fuels Every Layer. Someone Has to Run It.

Tell Your Story

Brand, content, social and video fuel every layer. They give people and AI platforms a reason to trust you, and they give your SEO and ads something worth finding.

Senior Direction or One Team for Everything

Someone has to run the stack. Choose a fractional CMO or consulting for senior direction, or Full Service for one agreement, one plan and one report.

Want AI working inside your business too? We assess, train and build: AI Strategy, AI Implementation and AI Training.

What Business Owners Ask Us

CICOR Marketing helps businesses get found, chosen and cited by AI. We build and run the six layers that turn searches into customers: your website, local visibility, search rankings, AI citations, conversion and lead follow-up. One in-house team in the U.S. plans the work and does it, so every channel supports the others. See every solution on our services page.

Yes. Every service can be bought on its own, and each page says how it is priced. Many clients start with one service, such as local SEO or a technical audit, and add more once it is working. Full Service is for the point where two or more services should run under one plan.

SEO earns your place in Google results, AEO makes your page the answer AI tools quote, and GEO makes your business the one AI platforms recommend. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is still the base. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures your content so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews can lift a clear answer. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) builds the signals those tools use to decide who to name. Learn more about AI search optimization.

You check, the same way your customers would, and that is what our AI Visibility Audit does. We ask the questions your buyers ask on the major AI platforms, record who gets named and cited, and show you what to fix first. The audit is $950 one time, credited toward setup if you start a program within 30 days. Read about the AI Visibility Audit.

Our prices are published, and monthly engagements start at $1,000. Search Visibility starts at $1,000 a month, Authority Programs at $1,500 a month, AI Citation Monitoring at $495 a month and Website Care Plans at $150 a month. Ad spend is paid directly by you, never marked up, and your accounts stay in your name. Compare every package on our pricing page.

CICOR Marketing service agreements run on an annual term, and the details are explained in your proposal. The term exists because marketing compounds: rankings, reviews, content, and email sequences build on each other over quarters, not weeks, and stopping early tends to stop the work just as it starts to hold.

Our in-house team in the U.S. does the work, led by senior strategists with more than 45 years of combined experience. CICOR Marketing is headquartered in Tampa, with a second office in Naperville (Chicago area). The people who set your plan also build the site, the tracking and the automation, and you get one monthly report in plain language. Meet us on the about page.

It depends on the channel, and a written plan comes first so you know what to expect. SEO is typically measurable within three to six months. Early GEO changes can show in AI results within four to eight weeks, with deeper citation work taking longer. Ads can produce leads much sooner. Start with a free consultation and we will map the timeline for your business.

A marketing dashboard should show how many leads came in, where each one came from, and what each source cost, on one screen an owner can read in five minutes. It should count phone calls and forms together, separate new leads from current customers, and show the trend over the last few months. Traffic and impressions belong lower on the page, if at all. CICOR Marketing builds dashboards around those three questions.

Request a free 30 minute consultation. We reply within one business day, learn about your business and goals, and recommend a plan before any spend. Many businesses also start with the AI Visibility Audit.
