Most businesses are invisible to AI assistants for reasons that are fixable in weeks. This is the one-time foundational overhaul that makes a business readable, consistent, and citable across Google and AI answer engines.
Finding and fixing what is actively blocking search engines and AI crawlers: blocked content, broken or duplicate sites, misdirected links, and pages that render only in JavaScript.
Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, and Person schema, populated fully and kept consistent with what the pages actually say.
Claimed, verified, fully populated, and aligned with the rest of the business footprint. For local and service businesses this is frequently the single highest-return item.
Auditing every surface describing the business, the site, schema, directories, social profiles, and review platforms, and resolving the contradictions that lower confidence in the entity.
Rewriting key pages so the direct answer leads, headings are phrased as real buyer questions, and passages are self-contained enough for a model to quote without distortion.
Page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, heading hierarchy, and the internal link structure that tells a crawler how the site fits together.
Explicit robots directives for GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and Applebot-Extended, plus a plain-language llms.txt summarizing the business for language models.
Search Console, analytics, and a documented baseline so movement is visible rather than assumed.
Full crawl and audit, access collected, and immediate repair of anything actively working against the business.
Schema, content structure, profile and directory consistency, metadata, internal linking, and crawler access built out across the site.
Search Console and analytics installed, indexing submitted, baseline documented, and a walkthrough of what was changed and what to expect.
The work finishing and the results appearing are two different timelines. Search engines and AI systems re-crawl on their own schedule. That expectation is set up front rather than explained later.
Scoped per business. Most foundation engagements run eight weeks.
A one-time foundational overhaul that makes an existing business readable, consistent, and citable across search engines and AI answer engines. Includes technical crawlability and indexing repair, structured data, Google Business Profile setup, entity consistency across directories and third-party profiles, answer-first content structure and FAQ blocks on key pages, titles, metadata and internal linking, AI crawler access and llms.txt, and Search Console and analytics installation. Structure only. No ranking or citation guarantees. Ongoing content, market reports, video, and review campaigns are scoped separately.
Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute fit call and a scoped written proposal.
Request a Foundation QuoteProjects under $4,000 are split 50% to book and 50% before launch or final delivery. Projects from $4,000 to $10,000 are typically split 40% to book, 40% at the midpoint, and 20% before launch or final delivery. Larger engagements use a milestone schedule, typically 30% / 30% / 30% / 10%. Quotes valid 30 days.
The Foundation is complete on its own. Nothing below is required. What a monthly plan buys is compounding: the foundation stays clean as the business changes, and new answers get claimed over time instead of once.
For a business whose foundation is built and needs to stay clean and measured.
Monthly AI visibility testing across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews against a fixed prompt set. Entity consistency monitoring across the site, schema, directories, and third-party profiles, with drift corrected as it appears. Schema and llms.txt kept current as the business changes. Search Console monitoring and indexing issues resolved. One monthly report showing where the brand appeared, how it was described, and which pages were cited.
For a business actively claiming more answers over time.
Everything in Maintain, plus two published pieces per month built from real buyer questions, structured answer-first and wired into FAQPage schema. Ongoing FAQ and schema expansion across existing pages. Third-party citation building on the directories, profiles, and platforms that corroborate the entity. Quarterly competitor visibility comparison.
For competitive categories where publishing volume and corroboration both matter.
Everything in Expand, plus four published pieces per month, a structured review campaign, and one monthly strategy call. Recurring market or category reports, original video production, and transcript and caption work are quoted separately.
Monthly plans are optional and begin after the Foundation is complete. Three-month initial term, month to month after that. Available to Foundation clients only, because ongoing work on an unrepaired site does not compound. Structure only. No ranking or citation guarantees.
If those describe you, we'll point you toward a better-suited option. The Foundation is built for businesses ready to fix the structure underneath their visibility.
UM Media builds a standalone SEO / AEO / GEO Foundation: a one-time overhaul that makes an existing business readable, consistent, and citable across search engines and AI answer engines. It covers crawlability and indexing repair, structured data, Google Business Profile, entity consistency, answer-first content structure, AI crawler access and llms.txt, and measurement. From $5,000. Scoped per business. Most foundation engagements run eight weeks. Structure only. No ranking or citation guarantees.
An eight-week foundational engagement that makes a business readable and citable by search engines and AI answer engines.
Full crawl and audit, access collected, and immediate repair of anything actively working against the business.
Schema, content structure, profile and directory consistency, metadata, internal linking, and crawler access built out across the site.
Search Console and analytics installed, indexing submitted, baseline documented, and a walkthrough of what was changed and what to expect.
A one-time foundational overhaul that makes a business readable and citable by search engines and AI answer engines. It covers technical crawlability, structured data, Google Business Profile, entity consistency across every surface describing the business, answer-first content structure, AI crawler access, and measurement. It is repair and foundation work, not ongoing content marketing.
From $5,000, scoped per business. Most foundation engagements run eight weeks. Agencies typically quote north of $6,000 for comparable foundational work. Pricing is confirmed in a written proposal after a free 15-minute fit call.
Eight weeks from the day access is provided. Some steps depend on third-party platforms such as Google, Luxury Presence, or a brokerage, and those timelines are not controlled by UM Media.
Page and blog indexing usually moves within a few weeks. Google Business Profile results typically show in one to two months. AI search and answer engine visibility generally takes three to six months, because those systems re-crawl and update on their own schedule.
No. UM Media does not guarantee specific rankings, traffic levels, or placement in AI-generated answers. Search engines and AI systems control their own indexing and ranking. What is guaranteed is the itemized work, performed to professional standard.
The Growth Plan is ongoing monthly upkeep for a site that already has a search foundation in place. The Foundation is the one-time engagement that builds that foundation. A business without one should start with the Foundation.
Usually no. Most foundation work is performed on the existing site. If the site is fundamentally broken or cannot be edited, a build is scoped separately and discussed on the fit call.
Nothing is required. Ongoing work such as content, market reports, video, and review campaigns is available under a separate monthly agreement, and is discussed at the close of the foundation rather than sold up front.
Typically the website platform, domain and DNS, Google Business Profile, and the business Google account. Access is requested as a team member rather than by sharing passwords, and credentials are never sent by text or email.
No. The Foundation is a complete engagement and nothing ongoing is required. Monthly plans exist for businesses that want the foundation maintained as they change, and want to keep claiming new answers over time rather than once.
Three tiers. Maintain is $500 per month for monitoring, entity upkeep, and reporting. Expand is $1,500 per month and adds two published answer-targeted pieces monthly plus citation building. Compound is $3,000 per month and adds higher publishing volume, a review campaign, and a monthly strategy call. Market reports, video production, and transcript work are quoted separately.
Care and Growth are website upkeep: hosting oversight, edits, backups, and small site improvements. The monthly SEO, AEO, and GEO plans are search and AI visibility work: monitoring how AI engines describe the business, maintaining entity consistency, and publishing content built to be cited. They solve different problems and can run alongside each other.
A three-month initial term, then month to month. The initial term exists because search and AI visibility work compounds and a single month does not show anything meaningful. Cancel anytime after that in writing.
No. Ongoing work on a site that has not been repaired does not compound, it just adds content to a structure engines cannot read correctly. The Foundation comes first.
Structure repaired. Entity consistent. Measurement in place. Eight weeks.
