"Isaac and Eric in the team at Bluestem do the things that bring results. They've been helping me with my web development and search engine optimization for a while now. After seeing first what they could do, I expanded their role in growing my business online. They keep me well informed of their work and how it affects me. Best of all, they genuinely care about me and my success."

Isaac from Bluestem Media
AI SEO Services
"We started using Bluestem Media 8 months ago. Before I was in charge of the website but with my main duties at the company taking up much of my time I wasn't able to manage the website properly. I also didn't have the tools and the vast knowledge to get our website up in the Google ranking. Eric and Isaac have been great to work with. They're very knowledgeable in increasing your Google ranking and optimizing your website. We've tried other avenues for this and it always felt like we weren't being taken care of. Bluestem continues to provide us with great results, communication is really good, and they listen to us when we want to pivot our focus on different strategies."
- Joshua Clark, Production Manager at The Kingdom Builders

AI SEO Visibility Engineering
The way businesses become more visible in AI is by learning how to communicate facts about their business to the LLM's knowledge base. AI needs to know what you do and how you do it better than your competitors. You must not only say this, but it must be said about you in third-party contexts (like Google reviews).
Searchers usually use AI as a research agent to shortcut the manual work of clicking through websites, reading product descriptions, scanning service pages, and reading online reviews. They are outsourcing their brain (and therefore, their wallet) to an AI agent who can analyze an unbelievable volume of information and help distill it to a short "brand vs. brand" paragraph comparison.
Our job as a leads-first AI SEO company is to get into the brain of your customer and figure out what types of prompts they are asking of AI. We whiteboard what problems they are trying to avoid and what services they are trying to compare. Then, we must tell a consistent story for these themes across your website, social media, Google Business profile, third-party sites like Reddit and YouTube, to help train AI on the nuances of your business offerings.
Combining Traditional Local SEO with AI SEO
Our goal as an SEO agency is to combine traditional local SEO (Google Business Profiles, local landing pages, NAP, service pages, etc.) with a new burgeoning area of AI SEO (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Grok, etc.) We are invested in finding the most practical, ROI centered approaches to this conversation. We are not generating AI citations for the sake of showing up in AI. Our goal is to drive leads.
The reality is, users still use traditional search engines when trying to find contractors, places to eat, etc. They may qualify or compare products and services using AI, but the "final click" is often found in the organic channel. This is why we place a huge emphasis on conversion rate optimization (CRO). You must make the most persuasive pitch for the target demo on your website.
"Near me" searches are still relevant, even if users have moved away from adding it as a modifier to their keyword. Google knows your location and can tailor search engine results pages to fit your geolocation.
Google is still #1
Most of our clients' Google Analytics data shows that organic search is still the #1 driver of traffic in 2026. We see a handful of ChatGPT referrals, but traffic still ends up on the website.
Philosophy
AI Philosophy
2025 really marked the first year our clients started asking us, "What are you doing about AI?". AI has been on our radar as an agency since 2022/2023 when ChatGPT was first announced. We even experimented with AI image generation in a web design for a client in August of 2023. But 2025 was the first real year we've seen interest from the business owner level.
The most important thing to pay attention to will be market behavior, NOT what an SEO guru or influencer thinks will happen. If the market at large adopts LLMs as the primary mode of search, Google Search may be dead. But until then, SEO keeps generating leads for our clients, especially for home services and professional services.

Methodology
How We Implement AI SEO Strategies
Our primary focus is to build high-quality website experiences that users enjoy. In turn, we believe our websites will be rewarded by AI LLMs and search engines.
So then, what is a high-quality website? It's a site that considers design and user experience when building. It's a site that loads quickly when a user enters your website into the URL box. A high-quality web property will have a site architecture that is intuitive and optimized with schema markup. It will have crisp, clean photography and images. Buttons will work, contact forms will be easy to use and page navigation will be a breeze.
