Overpromise. Underdeliver. Ghost. Repeat.
I’m so sick of these AI SEO companies.
I work in marketing. Every week I’ve got my hands in local SEO, paid, website design, social, content, cold outreach, all of it.
Easy to get overwhelmed, especially with how fast AI and SEO are both changing right now.
And the amount of biased, low quality info out there about it is insane. You genuinely can’t believe most of what you read anymore.
Protecting your focus and thinking critically matters more than it ever has.
AI is cool. But it’s got some real side effects.
On any given day I come across 5 to 20 new tools or offers for SEO, GEO, AEO, you name it.
Big promises, low price, all sounding amazing.
I’ve tried a handful of them. So far they’re all the same.
Overpromise. Underdeliver. Ghost. Repeat.
I’m sure there are good AI tools and companies out there somewhere. I just haven’t found them yet.
So here’s what I did instead.
Earlier this year I helped my dad with his local construction business.
It was just him, working under his own name. No brand, no company, nothing. We got him a name, a brand, an actual company.
In the first 2 months he picked up 12 reviews, mostly from past clients. I set up his Google profile, added photos, did some basic SEO, built him a website.
He’s already ranking #1 for some relevant keywords in his city.
He used to pay Angi / home advisor for leads that never even picked up the phone.
Last month he landed 4 projects. One of them was $61k.
He’s about to make his first full time hire.
So I’m going to offer this to a few more local clients who actually want to work with a human.
One who won’t ghost them, won’t automate every single task, and actually answers the phone.
