✦ STATUS: SEARCH IS CHANGING IN REAL TIME

Search just changed forever. Most businesses haven't noticed yet.

For 20 years, SEO meant ranking on Google’s blue links. That era is over. Customers now ask AI for answers and skip your website entirely. Whoever AI recommends, wins. Whoever it forgets, disappears. This shift is happening every single day, and the gap between businesses who adapted and businesses who didn’t is widening fast.

There is only one top result inside an AI answer. We make sure it is you.

"The businesses that get cited inside AI answers today become the default recommendation those engines pull from for months and years afterward. Early movers in a niche and city will be significantly harder to displace than they are right now."

✦ STATUS: SEARCH IS CHANGING IN REAL TIME

Your customers stopped clicking.
They started asking AI.

Search has changed more in the past 18 months than in the previous decade. AI engines now answer queries before users ever reach your website. If your business is not built to appear inside those answers, you are losing customers you will never see and never know existed.

60%

of Google searches now end without a single click. The answer appears directly on the results page.

✦ WHAT WE DO

One agency. Four channels.
Total local visibility.

Most agencies sell SEO, social media, ads, and web design  as separate bolt-ons. We go deep on one thing: making sure your business is the first answer when someone in your city asks Google, Google Maps, ChatGPT, or any AI engine for what you offer. Pair local SEO with a high-converting website design for maximum results.

✦ THE PROMISE

One client per niche,
per city.

Most agencies happily take on five roofers in Houston. They optimise all of them for the same keywords. You end up paying them to compete against their own other clients.

We do the opposite. When you work with us, we lock your niche and your city. We will not take on your direct competitor. Period.

This is why we work with a small number of clients at a time, work deeply on each one, and pick carefully before we say yes.

✦ THE PROCESS

Transparent at every step.

You will always know what is being done, why it is being done, and what to expect next. SEO takes time, we will never pretend otherwise. Here is exactly how we work.

✦ why us

What we believe about how local SEO should work in 2026.

There is no account manager passing messages to a junior who runs your campaign. When you email us, the person who responds is the same person optimising your Google Business Profile, writing your content, and tracking your AI visibility. That accountability matters.

i : AI search is not optional anymore.

There is no account manager passing messages to a junior who runs your campaign. When you email us, the person who responds is the same person optimising your Google Business Profile, writing your content, and tracking your AI visibility. That accountability matters.

ii : AI search is not optional anymore.

If your agency only tracks Google rankings, they are optimising for a search landscape that is already half gone. We track your visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews because that is where the next wave of customers is coming from.

iii : No long contracts. Ever.

Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. If we are doing our job, you will not want to leave. If we are not, you should not be locked in. That is the deal. It does not change.

iv : Specialists, not generalists.

We do not do social media management or paid advertising.  We do one thing: make sure your business is the answer when customers search on Google, Google Maps, and AI engines. That focus is the reason we can go deep rather than wide.

v : Transparent reporting, including the slow months.

Every monthly report shows the truth, including months where progress is slower than expected. SEO takes time and anyone who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. You will always know exactly where things stand.

Founder's Note

Why a Local Business Owner Should Care Who Builds Their Online Presence

Most agencies treat local SEO like a checklist. They plug in your address, submit a few directories, and hand you a report full of numbers that never turn into customers.

That is not what we do here.

A Personal Note From Saran

I am Saran Kaur, founder of Digital Mounts. I build local search strategies architected around how today’s customers actually find businesses, including how they increasingly use ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews to discover local providers before they ever click a single link.

I personally handle every project. No junior strategists. No handoffs. You work directly with me from audit through execution, across local SEO, AI search optimisation, high-converting website design, and brand identity.

✦ FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is AI search optimisation and what are GEO and AEO?

AI search optimisation is the practice of getting your business cited inside answers from AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. It is called GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) when focused on generative AI engines, and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) when focused on direct-answer placement.

As of 2026, around 45 percent of consumers use AI tools to find local businesses. If your business does not appear in those answers, you are invisible to a growing share of your market.

How much does local SEO cost?

Digital Mounts offers three monthly packages. The Starter tier is $597 per month with a $497 one-time setup fee, suited to single-location businesses wanting their Google presence properly managed. The Growth tier is $1,097 per month with a $997 setup fee, for competitive markets where ranking in the top 3 of the Map Pack requires deeper content and tracking work. The Authority tier is $1,997 per month with a $1,497 setup fee, for high-ticket businesses such as dental practices, law firms, and multi-location service companies.

All pricing is listed publicly on this page. There are no hidden costs added later.

What is the difference between SEO and AI search optimisation?

Traditional SEO optimises your website to rank in Google’s blue-link search results. AI search optimisation (GEO and AEO) optimises your business to be cited inside answers generated by AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

In 2026, approximately 60 percent of Google searches end without a click because the answer appears directly on the results page. Being cited inside AI answers and appearing in the Google Map Pack is now often where the real customer volume is, not on page one of traditional search results.

What does "one client per niche per city" mean exactly?

If you are a roofer in Austin, Texas, we will not take on any other roofer in Austin while you are a client. A roofer in Dallas is a different city, so that slot remains available. A plumber in Austin is a different niche, so that slot is also available.

If you cancel, your slot remains reserved for 30 days before being released, giving you the option to return without losing exclusivity.

Do you offer Google Ads or paid social media management?

No. We focus exclusively on organic visibility across Google Search, Google Maps, and AI search platforms. Our sister services: website design and brand identity, are handled by the same team.Paid advertising is a separate service and is not part of our offering. If you require paid media support, we can refer you to trusted specialists. Our retainers are designed to focus on long-term organic growth and AI search visibility.

How is Digital Mounts different from other SEO agencies?

Digital Mounts works with only one business per niche, per city. If you are a plumber in Manchester, we will not take on any other plumber in Manchester while you are a client.

We also combine traditional local SEO with AI search optimisation, tracking your visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, not just Google rankings. You work directly with the founder on every piece of work. There is no account manager layer between you and the person actually doing the job.

How long does local SEO take to show results?

Honest answer: local SEO is not fast. Google Business Profile and Map Pack movement typically takes 60 to 120 days in most markets. AI search citations, including appearances in ChatGPT and Gemini answers, can take 90 to 180 days to build meaningful visibility, depending on how competitive your niche is.

Anyone promising page-one rankings in 30 days is either operating in an unusually easy market or using shortcuts that can create problems later. We will always give you a realistic assessment of your market before you commit.

Why act on AI search now instead of waiting?

AI search optimisation compounds over time. The businesses that get cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews today become the default recommendations those engines pull from for months and years afterward.

Every month you wait, competitors in your city are building citation authority, entity signals, and structured content that becomes progressively harder to overtake. The window where local AI visibility is still relatively uncrowded is narrowing, especially in service business categories like roofing, plumbing, dental, and legal.

Which countries does Digital Mounts serve?

Digital Mounts currently serves service businesses in the United States and the United Kingdom. All communication is in written English. For clients who prefer it, we also send short Loom video walkthroughs alongside the monthly report, so you can see the work explained rather than simply summarised in a spreadsheet.

How do I get started?

Fill out the availability form on this page. I will check whether your city and niche combination is available and get back to you within 24 hours. If it is available, I will send you a short summary of your current visibility across Google and AI search at no cost and with no obligation. If it is not available, I will let you know straight away. You will not receive follow-up sales emails unless you request them.

Every day you wait, an AI engine learns
to recommend someone else.

Fill in your details below. I will check whether your city and niche are still available and get back to you within 24 hours with a clear answer and a brief overview of where you currently stand in Google and AI search.

No sales calls. No pressure. No follow-up emails unless you ask. Average reply time: under 12 hours.

Also looking for website design or brand identity design? We do that too.
