Our Story

"Make every business visible in AI search — without the monthly retainer trap."

OneTimeGEO was born from a simple observation: businesses spend thousands on Google SEO but are completely invisible in AI search — the fastest-growing discovery channel in the world.

Founded by Michael Smith — a digital marketing veteran behind The Leading Practice — OneTimeGEO focuses exclusively on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). We optimize your website so AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews recommend your business when people ask questions in your industry.

Our approach is different from traditional SEO agencies. We use AI-powered auditing to analyze exactly how AI tools see your website, identify what's missing, and implement proven GEO tactics: FAQ schema markup, statistical citations, expert attribution, self-contained answers, and structured content architecture.

The result? Your business gets cited in AI responses — the modern equivalent of ranking #1 on Google. And because GEO is still a new field, most of your competitors haven't even heard of it yet. That window won't stay open forever.

Our Core Values

AI-First Optimization

We optimize for where searches are going (AI tools), not just where they've been (Google).

No Monthly Retainers

Pay once to optimize. Free monitoring after. Only pay again if AI citation drops.

Proven GEO Tactics

FAQ schema, stat citations, expert attribution, self-contained answers — the 5 pillars of GEO.

Michael Smith founded OneTimeGEO to solve a problem most businesses don’t know they have: invisibility in AI search. With years of experience building marketing systems through The Leading Practice, Michael recognized early that AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude were becoming primary discovery channels — and that traditional SEO agencies had no strategy for them.

OneTimeGEO focuses exclusively on Generative Engine Optimization, helping businesses get cited by AI tools through proven tactics: FAQ schema, statistical citations, expert attribution, and AI-readable content architecture.
