One-off audit & setup (scoped per project) — you fully own the strategy and on-page work. An optional monthly retainer across Foundation, Growth (most popular) and Premium tiers covers ongoing optimisation, content, link building and reporting if you want it — stop anytime. ## What do you get with search visibility — google & ai search? When someone Googles what you do — OR asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI — your business shows up, not your competitor's. - Local SEO & Google Maps ranking - AI-powered keyword research - Monthly ranking reports - Technical SEO fixes included - Competitor tracking - Traditional SEO — improve your Google rankings (NEW) - AI SEO — get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI (NEW) - 5 accounts set up on high-DR directories for instant authority (NEW) ## Who is search visibility — google & ai search for? We work with owner-managed Irish businesses, professional practices and mid-market organisations. Search Visibility — Google & AI Search suits you if the current setup is costing you enquiries, staff hours or credibility — and if you would rather own the result outright than rent it from a platform. If a smaller piece of work would move the needle faster, we say so before quoting anything larger. ## Which search visibility — google & ai search package is right for you? There are 3 options on this service, separated by scope rather than by quality of work. Foundation SEO + AI Search (plus ), Growth SEO + AI Search Suite (plus ), Domination SEO + AI Dominance (plus ). Each package page sets out precisely what is included, what is not, and how long delivery takes, so you can compare like with like before you speak to anyone. - Foundation SEO + AI Search — On-page fixes, technical clean-up, Google Search Console + Google Analytics set up, 1 content piece a month and a plain-English monthly report. - Growth SEO + AI Search Suite — Foundation + keyword expansion, 2–3 content pieces a month, link building, local SEO and full tag suite. - Domination SEO + AI Dominance — Full automated local SEO, 4+ content pieces, ongoing technical + conversion work, priority support, and the complete AI-visibility kit (agent guide files, tag suite, AI-citation tracking). ## How does a search visibility — google & ai search project run? A short scoping call comes first, then a written scope with a fixed price, a staged build with weekly check-ins, and a handover where you receive the accounts, the assets and the source. Payment is 50% deposit and 50% on launch, or 40/30/30 on larger builds. Most work runs remotely, which keeps the cost down, and we travel to meet clients across Ireland where it genuinely helps. ## What does search visibility — google & ai search cost? Published starting points: brochure websites the Business Site package the Authority package ecommerce and SEO retainers per month. AI systems work is scoped separately, beginning with a paid feasibility assessment and implementation bands Figures are ex-VAT starting points confirmed in writing after scoping — never a moving hourly meter. | Engagement | From | Typical grant route | |---|---|---| | AI Feasibility & Readiness Assessment | from €5,000 | Eligible for the Enterprise Ireland Digital Discovery Grant at up to 80% funding, subject to Enterprise Ireland approval and company eligibility | | Baseline production build | from €15,000 | Not typically grant-funded | | Multi-system agent workflows | €25,000 to €60,000 | Not typically grant-funded | | Enterprise / multi-department programme | €40,000 to €100,000+ | Not typically grant-funded | | Managed operation & optimisation | from €149/month | Not typically grant-funded | | Brochure / Presence | from €1,200 | Not typically grant-funded | | Growth | from €2,500 | Not typically grant-funded | | Authority | from €4,250 | Not typically grant-funded | | E-commerce & custom platform | from €5,000 | Not typically grant-funded | All figures are ex-VAT and fixed against a signed scope.

Local SEO retainers in Ireland start nth for single-location small businesses and rise to nth for multi-location or competitive verticals. Digital Bridge publishes its starting price openly: nth with no setup fee. ## How long does SEO take to show results? Most Irish small businesses see measurable Google Search Console movement (impressions, average position) within 4–8 weeks and meaningful clicks within 3–6 months. Competitive verticals (solicitors, dentists, e-commerce) take 6–12 months to reach page one. ## What is local SEO and do I need it? Local SEO optimises your site and Google Business Profile to rank in the map pack and "near me" searches for your service area. If you serve customers in a specific Irish town or county, local SEO usually delivers the highest ROI of any digital marketing channel. ## What happens if search visibility — google & ai search does not suit us? Then we tell you, and we do not take the project. We would rather turn down work than sell a business something it does not need. Where a different supplier or a cheaper in-house route is the honest answer, we say so on the scoping call. Nothing is invoiced before a written scope is signed, and the scope sets out exactly what is delivered, in what order, and by when. ## Who does the work? Joey Bray, founder and principal engineer at Digital Bridge, leads every engagement personally. You deal with the person building the thing, not an account manager relaying messages.

An optional monthly retainer covers ongoing work across Foundation, Growth (most popular) and Premium tiers. You can stop the retainer anytime and keep everything we've built. Final budget is shared on your free consultation call. Most Dublin agencies charge meaningfully more with 12-month lock-ins for comparable scope. ## Which SEO plan is the best value for an Irish SME? The Growth optional retainer is the best value for most Irish SMEs. It includes 10 optimised pages, 2–3 blogs, 20 tracked keywords, technical SEO fixes, link building, conversion tuning, the behind-the-scenes tags Google needs to display your business correctly, competitor tracking, and a monthly strategy call — roughly half the cost of equivalent agency retainers. You can stop the retainer anytime. ## How long before I see SEO results? SEO is a long-term investment. Most businesses see noticeable improvements within 3–6 months, with significant gains by month 6–12. ## Do you guarantee first page rankings? No ethical SEO provider can guarantee specific rankings. What we guarantee is consistent, data-driven work that improves your visibility over time, with transparent monthly reports. ## What's included in the monthly reports? Rankings, traffic data, keyword performance, Google Business Profile insights, backlinks gained, and actionable recommendations for the next month — written in plain English. ## Do I need a new website for SEO? Not necessarily. We can optimise your existing website. However, if your site has fundamental technical issues, we may recommend a rebuild first. ## Further reading from recognised authorities We cite the same standards bodies and platform documentation our team uses day to day.

Choose a package above or get in touch to discuss a custom solution for your business. ## What is the real difference between the three SEO tiers beyond the price tag? Foundation SEO + AI Search, a month, covers on-page fixes, technical clean-up, Search Console and Analytics setup, one new content piece a month and a plain-English monthly report, suited to a local business that wants to be found consistently rather than chase aggressive growth. Growth SEO + AI Search Suite, at a month, expands that into keyword growth, two to three content pieces a month, link building and a fuller local SEO and AI-visibility tag suite, aimed at businesses ready to scale traffic and leads rather than simply maintain a presence. Domination SEO + AI Dominance, at a month, is built for competitive industries that need to own their market, with four or more content pieces, 25 pages optimised monthly, a dedicated strategist and the complete AI-visibility kit. All three carry a three-month minimum, because SEO work genuinely takes that long to show honest, measurable movement. ## How is AI search visibility actually different from ordinary Google SEO work? Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in Google's list of blue links; AI search visibility focuses on whether tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews can read your site cleanly enough to quote it directly in an answer, which is a different technical job even though the two overlap. That means structured data describing your business and services accurately, short answer summaries near the top of key pages in the format these tools tend to pull from, and, at the higher tiers, agent guide files and plain-text page mirrors built specifically for AI crawlers rather than human visitors. No agency can guarantee a citation inside an AI-generated answer, since the AI provider makes that call, not the website. What can be delivered, and is delivered across all three tiers, is the technical groundwork that makes citation possible in the first place. ## What does €650 a month actually buy in an SEO campaign? SEO with us starts per month and covers the ongoing technical and content work needed to improve how your website ranks in search results over time — this includes on-page optimisation, keyword targeting aligned to what your customers actually search for, technical health checks, and regular reporting so you can see what’s changing and why. It does not include paid advertising spend, which is a separate activity entirely, nor does it promise a specific ranking position by a specific date, because no honest SEO provider can guarantee that given how search engines work. We start with an audit of your current site to understand where you stand, then build a plan targeting realistic opportunities rather than chasing every keyword under the sun. Results typically build gradually over months rather than weeks, and we’ll explain that timeline clearly at the outset so expectations are set correctly from day one. This suits businesses ready to commit to an ongoing process rather than a one-off fix. A common pitfall is expecting overnight results and abandoning the campaign just as momentum is building. ## How is SEO progress actually tracked and reported to me? You’ll receive regular reporting showing the metrics that matter — keyword rankings, organic traffic trends, and technical improvements made to your site — explained in plain language rather than a wall of jargon you need a specialist to decode. We track progress against the goals agreed at the start of the campaign, whether that’s ranking for specific local search terms, increasing overall organic visitors, or improving conversion from the traffic you already get. Reporting happens on a set schedule so you always know how the campaign is performing rather than wondering in silence between updates. What we won’t do is present vanity metrics that look impressive but don’t connect to actual business outcomes like enquiries or sales — if a metric matters less than it seems, we’ll say so. Common pitfalls we see from businesses trying SEO alone include duplicate content across pages, missing technical basics, or targeting keywords too competitive for a smaller site to realistically win early on. This service suits businesses with a functioning website already in place; if your site itself needs rebuilding first, that’s worth addressing before SEO spend begins. ## Evidence - Verdé Environmental Group — 24/7 AI incident triage with severity classification, Eircode geolocation and four-depot dispatch routing → https://digitalbridge.ie/industries - tools.digitalbridge.ie — 50+ shipped production tools, including the Website Worth Index and the DigitalBridge Authority Score - Printhouse — custom web-to-print platform with 29+ product pages → https://printhouse.ie ## How delivery is de-risked - Seven-day shadow-mode pilot before any system takes live traffic. - Full source-code and prompt ownership transfers on final payment. - EU-hosted infrastructure, provider training disabled, signed data processing agreement. - Fixed price against a signed scope — no hourly meter and no open-ended exposure. ## FAQ ### How much does SEO cost per month in Ireland?
