Our mission
Help every brand and local business dominate Google and AI search.
Organic search is the most valuable traffic channel for any business — but most brands are leaving it almost entirely to chance. They publish content sporadically, build no backlinks, ignore technical issues, and have no idea whether AI platforms are recommending them or their competitors.
Meanwhile, every day, millions of buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini which brand to hire, which product to buy, which service to trust. AI responds with a short list. The brands on that list win. The rest don't exist to that customer.
Searchbark was built to put our clients on both lists — page one of Google and the AI recommendation. We do the research, build the content, earn the links, fix the technical gaps, and optimize for AI citations. You get the traffic.
What we audit
Why we built this
Most SEO agencies are still optimizing for 2018. We're built for 2025 and beyond.
Traditional SEO agencies know Google. They track rankings, build a few links, write some blog posts, and send a PDF at the end of the month. It works — up to a point. But it completely ignores the channel that's eating Google's lunch: AI search.
AI citations don't work like keyword rankings. There's no page one. There's no keyword position. There's just: cited, or not cited. And the signals that drive AI citations — schema markup, entity clarity, content depth, third-party citations — are different from what most SEO agencies optimize for.
We built Searchbark to be the agency that wins both channels simultaneously. We execute traditional SEO — content, links, technical — with the same rigor as any top agency, and we layer AEO on top so our clients get recommended by AI, not just ranked on Google. For brands and local businesses, that combination is what actually grows revenue in 2025.
How we work
The principles that make our agency different.
- 01
Results over reports
An audit with no execution is just a PDF collecting dust. We don't just tell clients what's wrong — we fix it. Our agency team executes the strategy, builds the links, publishes the content, and optimizes the schema. We measure our success by your traffic and rankings, not your login count.
- 02
SEO and AI — always together
Google rankings and AI citations are now two sides of the same coin. Brands that optimize for Google but ignore AI search are losing ground to competitors every day. Every campaign we run addresses both channels simultaneously — because winning organic traffic today means winning both.
- 03
Transparency in everything
You always know exactly what we're doing, why we're doing it, and what it's producing. Every deliverable is tracked. Every strategy is explained. We don't hide behind jargon or vague promises — you see real rankings data, real citation metrics, and real traffic numbers every month.
- 04
Built for local businesses and growing brands
Enterprise agencies chase enterprise budgets. We're built for the brands that actually need to grow — local businesses, regional companies, and mid-market brands that want to outrank bigger competitors. Utah is our home. Helping the underdog win is our purpose.
