SpeedX Marketing is an AI SEO agency that helps Columbus businesses show up in three places: Google's regular results, the Map Pack, and the answers that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews give your customers. We find what stops search engines and AI tools from trusting your site and fix it in order of impact.
Columbus searches differently from block to block. A Friday night in the Short North brings a run of restaurant and gallery searches, German Village draws dining and boutique searches from visitors and residents alike, and the Arena District spikes on Blue Jackets and Crew game days. Dublin and New Albany produce relocation, school-district, and professional-services research, while Clintonville, Bexley, Upper Arlington, and Grandview Heights generate steady home-services searches. Our AI SEO, AEO and GEO services follow one method everywhere; this page covers how we apply it in Central Ohio.
You get one program that covers technical SEO, local search, content, and AI search, measured together.
We check where you appear today and fix problems in order of impact, including anything an earlier agency left behind. B2B firms get capability, comparison, and case-study pages for buyers who research vendors before calling.
For a Clintonville plumber or a Bexley dentist, the Map Pack is usually where the call comes from. We match your profile to your site and your details across directories, including service-area and multi-location setups.
We shape pages so large language models can read, trust, and quote them: answers near the top of each page and FAQ blocks written the way people ask.
Someone searching in Worthington wants a different answer from someone in Grove City. We build pages for the areas you serve, each written around its own streets, housing stock, and customers, not "city swap" copies.
We add schema markup AI search tools can parse and fix Core Web Vitals, redirects, sitemaps, canonicals, internal links, and JavaScript rendering. Forms or tracking that could collect patient details get flagged for compliance.
AI helps us research and draft; a person edits every page before it goes live. For independent practices up against the region's big hospital systems, a subject expert reviews service-line, provider, and condition pages.
Where customers look
01
The blue links still carry most research traffic, especially for longer questions like "how much does a tear-off roof cost in Columbus." Ranking takes a sound site, complete answers, and trusted mentions.
02
For searches like "urgent care Hilliard," Google shows a short list of businesses on a map above most organic links, ranked on relevance, distance, and popularity. Distance is why a Westerville business rarely shows for a Grove City searcher.
03
Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity now answer many questions directly and name a few businesses. Google explains how sites appear in its guidance on AI features in Search. If you're not named, a buyer may never see you.
SEO · AEO · GEO
AEO makes your page the direct answer to a specific question; GEO gets you included when AI writes a longer answer from several sources. Our playbook for getting cited in ChatGPT goes deeper.

How we build
STEP 01
Discovery
One strategy call. We map your workflows, integrations, and success metrics. You get a written scope and fixed quote.
STEP 02
Build & Train
We build on your stack, train on your data, and integrate with your CRM, calendar, or commerce tools. Weekly progress updates.
STEP 03
Test & Deploy
You test with real users. We tune tone, accuracy, and handoff rules. Then we ship to production on your live channels.
STEP 04
Optimize
Monthly review of usage, accuracy, and conversions. We retrain on new content and tighten weak spots as your business grows.
Typical timeline: 2–6 weeks from kickoff to launch.
Real results
We don't publish client names. Each result compares the 28 days before our work went live with the 28 days ending October 13, 2026.
We fixed review data a counter animation hid on 30 of 58 pages, moved Google onto one address, added 61 redirects and rebuilt 22 thin service pages.
We corrected 48 law citations and 47 fee figures, added 1,034 internal links where service pages had none, and rewrote the top 20 posts.
Blog cards were buttons, not links, and 18 town pages were 86% identical; we fixed the links and old addresses and rewrote each town page around its own tree rules.

Quick answers to questions Columbus clients ask before getting started.
Traditional SEO ranks your pages in Google's list of links; AI SEO gets your business named inside AI answers. The foundations overlap, since a site Google can't crawl properly is one AI tools can't read, so the technical layer comes first. You don't need a separate agency for AI visibility: we run both in one program.
Map Pack and AI citation wins often show in 60–90 days. Competitive Columbus B2B and healthcare SEO is usually a 6–12 month build.
No, they redistribute it. Google covered the change in its AI Overviews announcement, and pages cited inside AI answers still earn clicks and trust.
Usually it's one of Google's three factors: a better category match, a closer location to the searcher, or more reviews and mentions. The audit shows which one applies to you.
A freelancer can suit a narrow, one-time job like a technical cleanup. An agency fits better when you need technical, content, local, and AI search handled together every month, with a dedicated account manager and a team behind them.
It shows what we did and what it changed for the business. Expect clicks, impressions, and average position from Google Search Console, calls and leads where tracking exists, Map Pack visibility, and your appearances in Google's AI answers plus visits from AI assistants.
