SEO & AI Search Optimization Agency in St. Louis
Get Found On Google — And on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews
A great brand no one finds is a missed opportunity. We fix that.
SEO isn't just about Google rankings anymore. In 2026, your customers are asking ChatGPT for recommendations, scanning Google AI Overviews for answers, and using Perplexity to research purchases.
If your business isn't optimized for **both** traditional search and AI-powered search, you're leaving money on the table.
Consort Creative is a St. Louis SEO agency that specializes in getting small businesses found everywhere their customers are searching — Google, AI search engines, local maps, and beyond.
Traditional SEO vs. AI Search Optimization: You Need Both
Traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
This is the foundation — ranking your website on Google and Bing for the keywords your customers search. We optimize your site structure, content, backlinks, and technical performance to climb the rankings and stay there.
AI Search Optimization (Generative Engine Optimization / GEO)
Why Most SEO Agencies Are Behind
Most SEO agencies are still running the 2019 playbook: keywords, backlinks, meta tags. That's necessary but no longer sufficient. AI search engines don't just look at rankings — they synthesize information from across the web and recommend businesses based on topical authority, content quality, and structured data.
**Consort Creative combines traditional SEO with AI search optimization** so your business gets found no matter how your customers search.

- our framework
Three Stages. One Path. Every Client.
Everything we do at Consort Creative fits inside a framework designed to take you from clarity to growth. Whether you're starting from scratch or scaling what you've built, the path forward starts with knowing where you are.
STAGE 01
Discover
Know Your Terrain Before You Start Climbing.
Great brands aren't built on guesses. Before we design a single pixel or write a single word, we dig into who you are, who your customers are, and what space exists in your market for you to own. Market research, brand positioning, UX planning, audience analysis — this is where the map gets drawn.
STAGE 02
Design
Build a Brand and Website That Earns Trust on First Impression.
This is where strategy becomes identity. We design visual systems, logos, and brand guidelines built to last — and websites that guide visitors from curious to converted. Our Design work doesn't just look good. It performs. Every layout decision, every color choice, every line of copy is made with your customer in mind.
STAGE 03
Grow
Get Found. Stay Visible. Outgrow Your Competition.
A great brand and website mean nothing if no one finds them. We grow your reach through SEO, content marketing, social media, and paid advertising — all built around your specific market and goals. Our AI SEO and Generative Image Optimization services ensure you're visible not just on Google, but in AI-driven search results too.
