Frequently asked questions

Advanced Integrated Marketing (AIM) is a full-service digital marketing agency based in Arlington, Texas. We help businesses get found and get chosen across every channel that matters today — search engine optimization (SEO & SEM), AI search optimization (AEO & GEO), pay-per-click advertising, reputation management, social media management, website design, and managed hosting.

Rather than selling one tactic in isolation, we build an integrated strategy so each piece reinforces the others — the same clean structure and authority signals that lift your Google rankings also make AI assistants more likely to recommend you.

Our office is at 1905 Ascension Blvd, Suite 154, Arlington, Texas 76006. We're deeply rooted in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex and proud to support the Arlington community.

That said, our work isn't limited by geography — we've served clients across the United States and worldwide since 2019, from local service businesses to multi-location and national brands.

Three things set us apart. First, experience — our team brings decades of hands-on SEO and enterprise sales background to every engagement, and you get unlimited consultations directly with our President.

Second, proprietary AI tooling — we built our own AI Visibility Assessment and AI Visibility Tracker in-house to measure exactly how AI models see and cite your business, while most agencies are still learning what AI search even is.

Third, an integrated approach — SEO, AI search, PPC, reputation and web all run as one strategy, so your investment compounds instead of pulling in different directions.

The best first step is a free consultation. We'll look at where you stand today — in both traditional search and AI search — and show you what it would take to move the needle. There's no cost and no obligation.

Call us at (817) 592-5586, email info@aim-tex.com, or schedule a consultation online. You can also run a free check on your site any time using our Test Your Site tool.

Search engine optimization is the practice of making your website more visible and credible to search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo — so that when someone searches for the products or services you offer, your business appears at or near the top of the results.

It matters because the overwhelming majority of buyers start with a search engine, and most never look past the first page. Without an effective SEO strategy, a prospect may find one of your competitors before they ever find you. SEO delivers long-term, compounding results by connecting ready-to-buy searchers directly to your business.

SEO is a long-term investment, not an overnight switch. After your optimization work is uploaded, it typically takes 60 to 90 days to see significant results as search engines re-crawl and re-evaluate your site.

From there, results continue to build and strengthen over time — which is exactly what makes organic search such a durable, cost-effective channel compared to paid advertising.

Yes — our SEO plans include guaranteed front page listings on the major search engines. We back that up with weekly monitoring to keep your site 90–100% compliant with current search engine criteria, and traffic statistics you can review at any time to track performance.

Because outcomes depend on your market and starting point, the specifics are confirmed during your consultation, where we scope the plan to your goals.

Our SEO plans are built around the number of pages and keyword phrases you want to target. Depending on the tier, a plan can include optimization of your home page plus dozens to hundreds of additional pages, professionally written content, keyword research, HTML optimization, press releases submitted throughout the year, and the build-out of strategic micro-sites.

Every plan also includes weekly compliance monitoring, always-available traffic statistics, unlimited consultations with our President, and — for now — our AI Visibility Assessment and AI Visibility Tracker at no additional cost.

AEO is the practice of structuring your website — its content, schema and FAQs — so AI answer engines can extract a clear, confident response about your business and hand it directly to someone searching. Instead of competing only for a link, you're competing to be the answer itself.

GEO focuses on the authority, entity relationships and trust signals that lead generative AI models to choose to cite and recommend you when they compose an answer. Where AEO makes you readable to AI, GEO makes you credible enough to be named. You need both — and most agencies work neither.

Traditional SEO competes for rankings and clicks on a results page. AI search often answers the question outright — the user may never click a link at all. Winning means being the business the AI mentions and cites when it composes its response.

The good news: strong SEO fundamentals — clean structure, real authority, strong trust signals — are the foundation AI search is built on. That's exactly where our team's deep SEO experience pays off, because the two disciplines reinforce each other.

It's a deep, scored audit of how discoverable, understandable, trustworthy and recommendable your site is to AI — delivered as a branded, boardroom-ready report. It evaluates eight weighted categories, including technical AI readiness, structured data, content authority, AI readability, entity recognition, trust & E-E-A-T, AI search visibility and competitive position.

You get a clear score out of 100, the specific gaps holding you back, and the priority fixes that move the needle — all grounded in evidence from your live site's robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap, schema, content and reviews.

Yes. Today, both tools are included with every AIM SEO plan at no additional cost. They're premium services that will become standalone, fee-based offerings in the future — so starting now lets you benefit from them while they're still bundled in.

Not at all — they reinforce each other. AI search rewards clean structure, genuine authority and strong trust signals, which are the same things that lift traditional rankings. We handle both as one integrated strategy, so your investment compounds across Google and the AI answer engines instead of forcing you to pick one.

Pricing depends on the scope and the goals of your campaign. As a general guide: SEO plans start at $8,495 plus $999/month and scale up for larger, multi-location or national campaigns; social media management starts at $499/month (AI-generated social from $600/month); managed website hosting is $250/month; and a new template-based WordPress website starts at $5,000, including 12 months of hosting and SSL.

Paid advertising is priced as a setup fee plus a percentage of ad spend — for example, a Google PPC campaign is $3,000 setup plus 40% of ad spend. For anything larger or more specialized, we prepare a custom quote. The best way to get an accurate number is a quick consultation.

Our SEO plans are flexible. Most tiers can be structured as an initial investment plus a monthly payment, and monthly payment contract options are available. Alternatively, you can pre-pay year one and lock in a lower renewal rate for each year thereafter.

We'll walk you through the options during your consultation and recommend the structure that fits your budget and objectives.

Our standard consulting rate is $250.00 per hour. Note that ongoing SEO clients receive unlimited consultations with our President as part of their plan, so consulting is typically only billed separately for stand-alone advisory work.

Yes. Whether your pay-per-click campaign is already running or you need one built from scratch, we design and manage it for you — on Google and across social platforms. Campaigns are priced as a setup fee plus a percentage of ad spend, and we manage bids, targeting and creative to keep your cost per result efficient.

We do. Our team can write and manage your posts and social links at your direction, across up to four platforms. Plans range from management-only and AI-generated post packages to full tiered programs that include a mix of image posts and professionally produced video each month.

Reputation management is about controlling what people find when they search your name or your company's name. If negative or misleading information is surfacing, we help address it and promote the accurate, positive content that reflects your business — an increasingly important trust signal for both customers and AI answer engines.

Yes. Through our Website as a Service and managed hosting offerings, our team can design an engaging new site — or refresh your existing one — built to convert visitors into clients. Managed hosting includes fast, secure servers, SSL, daily backups, performance tools, 24/7 technical support and unlimited updates, so your site stays fast, safe and current without you having to think about it.
