Escape Web Development is an AI SEO agency that gets local service businesses named in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers, and ranked in the map pack underneath them. Your customers now ask an AI who to call before they open Google. We make sure it says your name, then build the website that turns that visit into a booked job.
The Real Problem
If an AI doesn’t know your business, it recommends someone else.
Why Choose Us
Why local businesses choose Escape for AI SEO
Most web companies hand you a template and hope it ranks. Escape’s AI SEO services come from two founders who do the work themselves:
The usual agency
An account manager passes your questions along
Design first, strategy later
The SEO company and the web developer blame each other
The agency holds your accounts
Setup fees and long contracts
Escape
You talk to Kelsie or Aden, the people doing the work. No account managers and no handoff after the sales call.
A written strategy document comes first, before anything is designed or written.
SEO, AEO and the website come from one team, so nobody blames the web developer when rankings stall.
You own everything: the site, the domain, the content and the Google Business Profile.
Plans start at $250 a month, with no setup fee and month-to-month SEO work.

Local SEO for service businesses
Google Business Profile optimization, review automation, local citations and a page for every service in every town you serve. These are the signals Google uses for the map pack, and the same ones AI tools check before they recommend a local company. See our local SEO services.

Answer engine optimization (AEO)
We structure your content, business details and schema markup so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews can understand your business and cite it by name. Some agencies call this generative engine optimization (GEO). Every month we track which AI prompts mention you, and which ones name a competitor instead. See our AEO services.

How our AI SEO services work: the Escape Method
Every AI SEO project is judged by one thing: does it bring you more customers? Here is how the Escape Method works.

Before anything is designed, we map your competitors, your customers, your SEO and AEO opportunities and your conversion goals. You get a written strategy document that everything else is built on.

Every layout, button and visual choice follows the strategy underneath it, so the site looks good and does its job.

SEO, schema markup, structured data and AEO go in from the first page, so Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini can find you and cite you.

Testimonials
Reviews from our SEO and web design clients
What clients say about working with our SEO and web design team.
It was a pleasure working with Kelsie to launch the Shopify website for my product, FindMyTable. Kelsie communicated clearly throughout the process and delivered exactly what I was looking for in a timely manner. She first built a draft version that incorporated all my requirements, and later made additional adjustments based on my feedback. I would highly recommend working with her if you need help building a Shopify website.

Working with Kelsie was one of the best decisions I made for my website. She worked with my customized Shopify theme, simplified what felt messy, and made everything feel aligned and intentional. She revised my existing pages and built three new ones that flow with the rest of the site. The whole experience now feels ready for the direction my business is heading. On top of that, I really liked working with her. I will be working with her again for future additions and projects. If you are serious about your brand and want someone who actually cares about bringing your vision to life, Kelsie is it.

Kelsie has built multiple websites for my brokerage and real estate services. Most other companies or designers tried to push a word press template as the format, which significantly reduced my options for what I wanted the end result to be. Thanks, Kelsie
