What Sets Us Apart

AI First, Built on Strong SEO

We lead with AI visibility because that is where buying decisions are starting. Our AEO and GEO work sits on a solid SEO and website foundation, so your business gets recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, found on Google and chosen by customers.

Veteran Owned and Accountable

One In-House Team, No Hidden Costs

Our U.S. based team plans the work and does it, so every channel supports the others. Pricing is published, ad spend stays in your account and is never marked up, your accounts stay in your name, and you get one plain language report each month.

Commonly Asked Questions

The best measure of success is simple: more of the right customers finding you, contacting you and choosing you. Every engagement starts with a written plan that sets clear goals for your business, so we both know what success looks like before any work or spend begins. Results depend on the channel and where you are starting. Paid ads can produce leads quickly. SEO builds over three to six months and keeps compounding. AI visibility work can show early changes in AI answers within four to eight weeks, with deeper citation work taking longer. We tell you up front what to expect from each, and what will and will not help your business. We measure what matters to owners: how many leads came in, where each one came from and what each source cost. Phone calls and form submissions are counted together, new leads are separated from existing customers, and trends are tracked over time so you can see what is working. Our long client relationships say a lot about results. Many clients have stayed with CICOR Marketing for years, some for more than 15 years, and we have completed more than 300 projects for clients in 32 states and 4 countries.

We measure success the way owners do: by the customers our work brings in. Rankings and traffic are useful signals, but the real test is whether more of the right people are calling, filling out forms and becoming clients. Our reporting is built around three questions: how many leads came in, where each one came from and what each source cost. Phone calls and form submissions are counted together, new leads are separated from existing customers, and trends are tracked month over month so you can see what is improving. We set up the tracking to make that possible, including analytics, call tracking and dashboards that show leads, sources and cost on one screen an owner can read in five minutes. Traffic and rankings still matter, but they support the story instead of replacing it. For AI visibility, we also track how often your business is named and cited when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews the questions that lead to a hire. That shows whether AI is recommending you, and who it names instead. You get one plain language report each month, and our team is always an email or phone call away to explain what the numbers mean and what comes next.

As a true partner, not a vendor. We learn your business, your customers and your goals first, then work alongside you so every marketing decision supports where you want the business to go. It starts with a free 30 minute consultation. We listen to what you are trying to achieve, look at where you stand today and recommend a plan before any spend. Many clients also begin with our AI Visibility Audit, which shows what AI platforms say about them and what to fix first. Once we start, our in-house team handles the work from strategy through execution. You will not be passed between outside vendors or departments, because the same team that plans your marketing also builds and runs it. We build inside your accounts, not ours. Your website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts and CRM portal stay in your name, whether that is HubSpot or another platform. You keep full ownership and visibility at every step. Collaboration goes both ways. You know your customers and your industry best, so we ask for your input on messaging, offers and priorities, and we explain the reasoning behind our recommendations so you can make informed decisions. When something is not likely to help your business, we tell you.

Onboarding is where we lay the groundwork for everything that follows. Our goal is to understand your business fully, get the right access in place and fix what is holding you back before we build anything new. First, we gather access to the accounts that matter, such as your website, Google Business Profile, Google Analytics, Search Console, ad accounts and CRM. Everything stays in your name. We simply request the access our team needs to do the work. Next, we review where you stand today. That includes a technical look at your website, your local listings and reviews, your current rankings and how AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews describe your business. This gives us a clear starting point and shows which issues to fix first. We then make sure tracking is set up correctly, including analytics, call tracking and lead sources, so results can be measured from the very first month rather than guessed at later. With that foundation in place, we confirm priorities with you, agree on next steps and begin the work. Throughout onboarding you will know what we are doing and why, and you will have a direct line to our team for any questions.

Clear, regular and easy to reach. You will always know what we are working on, what it is producing and what comes next, and you will never have to chase us for an answer. Our team is an email or phone call away, and we reply within one business day. You reach people who know your account, because the same in-house team that plans your marketing also does the work. Each month you receive one report written in plain language, not a pile of charts. It explains what was done, what it produced and what we recommend next, so you can review it in minutes and make decisions with confidence. We also communicate proactively. If we spot an opportunity, a problem with your website or listings, or a change in how Google or AI platforms are treating your business, we let you know rather than waiting for the next report. Our recommendations always come with the reasoning behind them. You will understand why we suggest each step, what it should do for your business and when you can expect to see it working. And because your accounts stay in your name, you can check your data anytime.
