The real problem

Your competitors are getting calls you should be getting.

When someone searches “HVAC repair Missoula” on Google — or asks ChatGPT “who’s the best HVAC company near me” — a decision gets made in a fraction of a second. That decision happens before the customer ever sees your website.

Most Missoula businesses aren’t showing up in either place. Not because they’re doing something wrong — but because nobody has built the right foundation. GoJo builds that foundation across both Google and AI search, then executes consistently until your business is the one that gets the call.

Sound familiar?
“I Googled my own business and couldn’t find it.” → Your GBP isn’t optimized and your site has no local signals.
Sound familiar?
“My competitor has half my experience and twice my calls.” → They have more reviews, more content, and better local visibility.
Sound familiar?
“I tried SEO before and it didn’t work.” → Generic agencies run generic campaigns. Local visibility for Missoula requires a Missoula-specific strategy.
Sound familiar?
“I don’t know if my business shows up when people ask ChatGPT.” → It probably doesn’t. That’s a fixable problem — and most of your competitors haven’t fixed it yet.

The shift you can’t ignore

Search Has Changed.
Is Your Business Keeping Up?

Traditional Search (SEO)
Google & Maps

Someone types “HVAC repair Missoula” into Google. The map pack and organic results decide who gets the call. This is still the highest volume channel for local businesses — and it’s where most of your leads will come from today.

Google Business Profile rankings
Map pack visibility
Organic keyword rankings
Local citations and NAP consistency
AI Search (AEO) — The New Frontier
ChatGPT, Siri & AI Tools

Someone asks ChatGPT “who’s the best plumber in Missoula?” or tells Siri “find me a med spa near me.” AI tools answer instantly — and the businesses they recommend get the call. Most local businesses aren’t in those answers yet. That’s your window.

AI search visibility and citations
Answer engine optimization (AEO)
Structured content AI tools can reference
Authority signals across the web

GoJo builds visibility in both. Most agencies only build one.

What we do

The System That Gets You Found Everywhere Customers Search

02
On-Page SEO & Content

Organic rankings are built through well-structured pages and consistent content. Every service page, blog article, and landing page we build targets a specific keyword that real Missoula customers are searching for — and is structured so AI tools can read and reference it.

  • Service page creation and optimization — one page per service, built to rank
  • SEO blog articles — monthly content targeting local keywords and AI search queries
  • Meta title and description optimization
  • Internal linking structure — hub-and-spoke architecture that lifts all pages
  • Schema markup — LocalBusiness, FAQ, and service schemas
03
Technical SEO & Reporting

Rankings are won and lost on technical fundamentals most agencies skip. We audit and fix the issues that prevent Google from properly crawling your site — and we report on calls, rankings, and visibility, not just traffic charts.

  • Google Analytics 4 + Search Console setup and monitoring
  • Site speed and mobile optimization audit
  • Index coverage and crawl error monitoring
  • Monthly keyword ranking reports vs. baseline
  • Plain-English monthly reporting — calls, rankings, traffic, what’s next

Why GoJo

What Makes Us Different from Every Other SEO Agency in Missoula

Google + AI vs. Google only
We Build for Both Search Channels

Most SEO agencies are still optimizing for Google only. GoJo builds visibility across Google, Maps, and AI search tools — so when a customer asks ChatGPT who to call in Missoula, your business has a real chance of being the answer. This is where the market is heading. We’re already building for it.

Local vs. national
We’re Actually Here

Most “Missoula SEO companies” in your search results are national agencies that built a landing page targeting your city. They’ve never been to Missoula. GoJo is based here. Joe Kalafat has lived and worked in this market. That difference shows up in the strategy.

Vanity metrics vs. real outcomes
We Report on Calls, Not Just Traffic

A lot of agencies show you a traffic chart going up and call it success. GoJo tracks what actually matters — calls from GBP, contact forms submitted, keywords that drove actual leads. We tie performance to business outcomes and report against the Day 1 baseline.

Generic vs. vertical
Built for Your Industry

Generic agencies take any client and run the same playbook. GoJo focuses on home service businesses and local professional services in Missoula. We already know the keywords your customers search, the AI queries they ask, and the competitors you’re trying to beat.

Common questions

What Missoula Business Owners Ask Us First

What’s the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) gets you found on Google and in the map pack when customers search. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets you found when customers ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Siri, or Perplexity who to hire. Both matter now. GoJo builds for both in the same system — you don’t need two agencies or two strategies.

Does my business actually show up in ChatGPT results?

Probably not yet — most local businesses don’t. AI tools pull from structured web data, reviews, citations, and authority signals. If those aren’t in place, you’re invisible in AI search. The good news: most of your competitors aren’t in there either. The businesses that build AI visibility now will have a significant head start as AI search adoption grows.

How long does SEO take to work in Missoula?

For the map pack, you can see movement in 30–60 days once GBP is fully optimized. For organic keyword rankings, expect 60–90 days before meaningful positions appear, and 4–6 months before rankings become a consistent source of leads. AI search visibility typically moves faster — 30–60 days with the right signals in place.

What does this cost?

GoJo’s plans start at $1,200/month for our Foundations package — visibility, presence, and consistency for businesses building their foundation. Our Growth package at $2,500/month adds full Customer Flow System execution for businesses ready to generate 15–30 inbound opportunities per month. Pricing is transparent and includes both Google and AI visibility work.

Do I need a new website to do SEO?

Not necessarily. GoJo can work with your existing website in most cases — optimizing pages, adding service pages, and fixing technical issues. If your site is severely outdated or not mobile-friendly, we’ll tell you honestly. A website rebuild isn’t required to start seeing results from GBP, citations, and AI visibility work.

How do I know it’s actually working?

We set up Google Analytics 4 and Search Console from Day 1 and document your baseline. Every monthly report shows the delta — keyword positions moving, GBP calls increasing, organic traffic growing, and AI visibility improving — all tracked against where you started when you hired us.

Ready to Get Found in Google AND AI Search?

Every day without visibility is calls going to a competitor. The AI Visibility Score is free, the findings are real, and there’s no pitch until you’re ready.
