Founded in 2007 and based in Queen Creek, Arizona (Phoenix metro area), the firm has worked with companies ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500 corporations. It intentionally operates as a boutique rather than an "800 lb. gorilla" — every engagement is senior-led, with direct access to strategists instead of layers of account management. The agency is organized around four pillars: **Search & AI Visibility** (SEO, GEO, content strategy, technical SEO), **Paid Media** (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, paid social, retargeting), **Web & Growth** (web design and development, CRO, analytics and tracking), and **AI & Automation** (AI strategy, custom AI agents, workflow automation). Its core differentiators are end-to-end pipeline attribution connecting all channels to revenue, an AI-native approach that treats ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude as first-class search surfaces, and custom AI agents for automated reporting and analysis. Silverback positions SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) as one combined strategy rather than separate workstreams, on the premise that visibility is now fragmented across Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Bing Copilot, and other platforms. Every engagement follows a six-step framework: Audit → Prioritize → Strengthen Foundation → Develop Content → Improve GEO Readiness → Measure & Refine. The agency is best for growth-focused executives and marketing leaders at B2B and considered-purchase companies that prioritize lead quality and pipeline over raw traffic volume. Taglines include "Strategy-led growth for search, AI and pipeline" and "Grow visibility. Win in search & AI."

Covers 15 deliverables across two tracks — Foundation & Strategy (SEO/GEO audit, Search Console and GA4 analysis, keyword research, content gap analysis, internal linking recommendations, structured data suggestions) and AI Visibility & Delivery (AI readiness benchmarking, FAQ content recommendations, technical SEO triage, implementation notes, performance reporting). AI-assisted workflows enhance — not replace — senior strategist expertise. **AI Visibility** (https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/ai-visibility) Improves how often and how favorably a brand appears in AI-powered search and discovery.

Founded 2007, based in Queen Creek, Arizona. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/about. **Q: What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?** A: SEO improves visibility in traditional search results; GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets a brand cited inside AI-generated answers. GEO targets citation and inclusion in synthesized responses rather than ranked blue links. Full primer: https://silverbackmarketing.com/what-is-geo-generative-engine-optimization. **Q: Why does GEO matter in 2026?** A: AI Overviews appear on roughly 48% of Google searches, reaching about 2 billion monthly users, and AI-referral traffic is growing 130–150% per year. Pages with structured lists, quotes, and statistics show 30–40% higher visibility in AI responses. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/seo-and-geo. **Q: How is AI visibility measured?** A: By share-of-voice across prompts, citation frequency, and sentiment in AI-powered platforms including ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/ai-visibility. **Q: What ROI can I expect from Google Ads?** A: Commonly cited returns average $2 in revenue for every $1 spent, with well-optimized campaigns reaching up to $8 per $1. Google Ads is generally worthwhile for businesses with proper conversion tracking. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/google-ads. **Q: Why run Microsoft Ads in addition to Google Ads?** A: Microsoft Ads reaches high-intent searchers and B2B audiences on lower-competition inventory at potentially lower cost-per-click, diversifying paid-search pipeline. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/microsoft-ads. **Q: What is a good landing page conversion rate?** A: The median landing-page conversion rate is about 6.6%; strong pages reach 10%+ and top performers hit 15–20%. Silverback's CRO service closes that gap: https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/cro-landing-pages. **Q: Why does my website need ongoing maintenance?** A: Content, forms, tracking, and performance degrade after launch — and each additional second of page load time can cost roughly 7% in conversions. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/website-maintenance. **Q: What is technical SEO and why does it come first?** A: Technical SEO makes a site crawlable, indexable, fast, and well-structured — covering crawlability, indexation, architecture, structured data, and Core Web Vitals. It's the foundation all other search performance builds on. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/technical-seo. **Q: How do I preserve SEO during a website redesign or migration?** A: Through correct 301 redirect mapping, URL handling, and pre/post-migration checks. Silverback offers a dedicated service (https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/website-migration-seo) and a free checklist (https://silverbackmarketing.com/resources/website-migration-seo-checklist). **Q: What can custom AI agents do for a marketing team?** A: Purpose-built agents automate repetitive tasks — drafting briefs, monitoring AI visibility, QA-ing content, assembling reports — tailored to specific workflows. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/services/custom-ai-agents. **Q: How does Silverback differ from larger agencies?** A: Boutique and senior-led: direct strategist access, full-funnel integration, and native AI/GEO capability rather than scale alone. See https://silverbackmarketing.com/about. **Q: Who is Silverback Marketing best for?** A: Growth-focused executives and marketing leaders at B2B and considered-purchase companies that prioritize lead quality and pipeline over raw traffic volume. **Q: How do I get started with Silverback Marketing?** A: Request a free scoped audit of search/AI visibility, paid media, tracking, or your full program (https://silverbackmarketing.com/contact/request-an-audit, delivered within 2 days), or book a 30-minute discovery call (https://silverbackmarketing.com/contact/book-a-discovery-call).
