01
Discovery

Intake & Discovery — Week 1

Structured discovery — your business, goals, market, and current digital footprint — so the plan fits your reality, not a template.

You get: a clear read on your situation and exactly what we’ll investigate first.

02
Diagnosis

The Audit — Findings in 48 hours

A full audit of your site's technical health, search structure, AI visibility, local relevance, Google Business Profile, and reviews — what's costing you visibility, in priority order.

You get: a written findings report with priorities, in plain English.

03
Blueprint

Strategy & Setup — Week 2

We turn the audit into a clear, scoped plan — the right package, the deliverables, the roadmap. Nothing starts until you review and approve it.

You get: a fixed-scope plan and roadmap, approved by you before any work begins.

04
Execution

Design & Build — Weeks 2–5

We design the structure, write content built to rank on Google and get recommended by AI search, and build your site fast, mobile-friendly, and technically sound. Every deliverable is reviewed before it ships.

You get: a launch-ready site with the SEO groundwork built in from the start — not tacked on later.

05
Ongoing

Launch & Grow — Live in 3–6 weeks, then ongoing

Nothing goes live without your approval. After launch we keep optimizing, month over month.

You get: a monthly report showing exactly what moved — rankings, AI mentions, traffic, and leads.

Ocean wave — BluFin Marketing
AEO-Ready
Built for AI Search
About BluFin

We Help Good Businesses
Stop Getting Overlooked

BluFin is a boutique digital growth studio — websites, SEO, and AI-search visibility under one roof. We go deep on a handful of clients instead of spreading thin, and we stay ahead of where search is heading.

Search is changing fast — AI is quietly rewriting how people find businesses. We keep your brand surfacing first: on Google, and in the AI tools like ChatGPT your buyers now ask instead of searching.

BluFin is founded and run by Madyson Rieder — seven years in marketing and web design, with a focus on SEO and the shift to AI search. You work with her directly: the person who learns your brand is the one doing the work — building your site and running your strategy.

Direct Access

You work directly with the person doing the work — not an account manager relaying messages back and forth.

Tied to Results

Rankings and traffic are the means, not the goal. What counts is the real leads they bring in — the calls, forms, and inquiries you can actually track.

Ahead of the Curve

AEO, GEO, AI Overviews — we're optimizing for how search works next, not just how it worked last year.

Two different clocks. The build moves fast: your site and priority technical fixes ship in the first few weeks. Search and AI visibility compound more gradually — most clients see meaningful movement in 60–90 days, and it keeps building from there. Either way, you never have to guess: every month you get a report showing exactly what moved and why.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — also called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — makes your brand show up in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. They describe the same goal: as more people get answers straight from AI without clicking a traditional result, being the cited source is critical for staying visible.

We're based in St. Petersburg, Florida, but our work is entirely digital — so location is never a barrier. Whether you're down the street or across the country, the process and the results are the same.

We specialize deeply instead of spreading thin. Technical SEO, forward-looking AEO strategy, and genuinely good web design all under one roof — and you work directly with the people doing the work, not an account manager. We care about measurable outcomes, not vanity metrics.

Every build starts with discovery and an audit, then a scoped plan you review and approve before anything begins. From there we move into design, build, and testing — performance-optimized, mobile-first, and conversion-focused throughout. Timelines depend on scope, but most sites go from kickoff to launch in roughly 3–6 weeks.

Absolutely. You can start with a single project — a website or an SEO audit — and grow into a fuller engagement as you see results. We build for the long term, not the one-off.
