We build static, edge-served websites engineered from the ground up for the AI search era. Every site is structured so it ranks in Google and is cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI, and Copilot. AI chat and inbound call routing are layered on so a visitor never has to wait. ### [Local SEO](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/local-seo/) Local visibility for businesses competing inside their own zip code. We optimize every signal Google uses to rank a local business, including Google Business Profile, map pack positioning, citation accuracy, review acquisition, local schema, and neighborhood-level landing pages. The result is consistent ranking on the queries your customers actually search when they are ready to call. ### [National SEO](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/national-seo/) Earned rankings for businesses competing on non-local terms. We build topical content clusters, earn authority links, harden the technical foundation of your site, and engineer pages to be cited inside AI Overviews. The full national SEO stack, scored against rankings, AI citations, and inbound. Not against impressions. ### [Link Building & Digital PR](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/link-building/) Authority signals that Google rewards and AI search respects. Digital PR placements, contextual edits on real publications, partnership and resource page placements, and sponsored research. Every link is sourced through legitimate outreach, logged in your dashboard, and tracked against its measurable impact on your domain authority. ### [Content & Editorial](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/content/) Editorial content engineered for both Google rankings and AI citations. Editorial briefs, long-form articles, ungated guides, FAQ pages, comparison content, and schema-tagged answers. Every piece is written answer-first so AI Overviews and ChatGPT can pull from it cleanly, and every page is entity-mapped to your business so the citation lands on you and not a competitor. ### [AI Consulting](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/ai-consulting/) Embedded AI engineering for businesses that need a custom solution. Our engineers embed directly with your team to identify where AI can move your operation forward, then build and deploy the working system. Typical projects include retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, custom agent frameworks, internal copilots, evaluation harnesses, and bespoke operational dashboards. You own the IP and the code at the end of the engagement. ### [AI & Automation](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/ai-automation/) AI agents that run your inbound, your follow-up, and your operations. We deploy AI agents that handle inbound across voice, web chat, SMS, and social DMs. The same agent qualifies the lead, books the appointment, and runs the follow-up sequence. Your team handles the work that actually requires a human, and your operation runs around the clock without adding headcount. ### [Site Audits & AI Visibility](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/audits/) Free AI visibility audits, scored across the six platforms that matter. Lighthouse Local, by Rhetor, scores how visible your site is across the six AI platforms that increasingly mediate buyer discovery, then surfaces the highest-impact fixes in a ranked plan. Run the audit yourself, ship the fixes with your own team, or hand the execution to ours. The audit is always free. ### [Political Intelligence](https://www.rhetor.ai/services/political/) Real-time intelligence, monitoring, and analytics for campaigns and public affairs. Our political practice is run by a separate team from our SMB work. We provide real-time sentiment analysis, legislative bill tracking, constituent and narrative analytics, voter forecasting, and forensic accounting for campaigns, advocacy organizations, and public affairs firms. Engagements are scoped at the campaign or organization level. ## How To Buy - Retainer-based engagements, scoped per the audit.
