Digital × Wild · Modern Search Plans

Search Marketing Built Around Where Your Customers Search.

SEO is still part of the trail. It just isn't the whole map anymore. Cadence SEARCH connects technical SEO, content, authority, local discovery, AI search visibility and measurement into a strategy built around your business.

No Long-Term Commitment Senior Search Team Transparent Reporting
The Search Landscape

Search has more trailheads now.

Your customers may start with Google, Maps, an AI assistant, a recommendation, a comparison article or a completely different discovery surface. A modern search strategy has to account for how those paths connect.

That's why our plans aren't built around checking off a list of SEO tasks. We identify where visibility can create meaningful business growth, prioritize the work and build the search system around it.

One search strategy. Multiple paths to discovery.
Traditional Search Technical SEO, intent, content and rankings
AI Search Brand understanding, retrieval and citation readiness
Local Discovery Maps, listings, reputation and geographic relevance
Authority + Content Useful resources, expertise and trusted signals

FAQ

Search Marketing Pricing Questions

A few things worth knowing before we map out the work.

What does Search Marketing include?

Search Marketing can include technical SEO, content, information architecture, local search, authority development, Digital PR, analytics, AI-search optimization and other discovery channels. The exact mix depends on where the strongest opportunities exist for your business.

Is SEO still part of these plans?

Absolutely. Technical SEO, content optimization, internal linking, search intent and authority remain foundational. Modern Search simply recognizes that your customers now discover businesses across more surfaces than traditional search results alone.

Do your plans include AI and LLM optimization?

AI-search readiness is incorporated into our broader Search Growth approach. That can include improving how clearly search systems understand your brand, entities, expertise, content and relationships between important topics.

Does pricing include paid search or advertising spend?

Not by default. Paid search and paid social can be added to a custom program when they support the broader strategy. Media spend is separate from management fees.

How long does Search Marketing take to work?

It depends on your starting point, competitive landscape and the channels being used. Some technical and paid opportunities can produce signals quickly, while organic visibility, authority and content performance generally compound over a longer period.

Can Cadence work with our internal marketing team?

Yes. Many engagements are collaborative. We can lead strategy and implementation, work alongside your existing marketing or development team, or handle specific parts of the roadmap where you need additional expertise.

Do we need a long-term contract?

The plans shown here are structured as month-to-month engagements without a required long-term commitment. Final scope and terms are confirmed before work begins.

Can we customize a plan?

Yes. These plans are starting points. Scope can be adapted around your website, market, internal capabilities, content needs, locations and growth priorities.

How do you measure success?

Measurement is tied to the strategy and can include search visibility, qualified organic traffic, AI-search presence, conversions, leads, revenue signals, technical improvements, local visibility and completion of strategic priorities.
