SEO Services

SEO and AI search services in Logan & Cache Valley, Utah.

Vient is an independent SEO company based in Logan, Utah. I'm Caden, the person who does the work, and I help small businesses across Cache Valley get found on Google and in AI answers like ChatGPT. That means local SEO, technical audits, and answer engine optimization, with tracking down to whether ChatGPT names you.

What our SEO includes

Everything that helps the right people find you on Google, and nothing that does not.

Local SEO & Google Business Profile

We optimize your Google Business Profile, local listings, and on-page signals so you show up when nearby customers search for what you do.

Local listings & citations

Consistent name, address, and phone across Google, Apple Maps, and the directories that matter, so search engines and AI answers trust who you are and where you serve.

AI answer optimization (AEO)

We get your business named when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for a local recommendation, then track whether those answers actually cite you.

Technical SEO audits

We find and fix the things quietly holding your site back: crawl issues, broken links, slow pages, missing tags, and thin or duplicate content.

On-page optimization

Titles, headings, meta descriptions, internal links, and content aimed at the terms your customers actually type into Google.

Structured data & schema

LocalBusiness and FAQ schema that tell search engines your name, location, hours, and services directly, instead of leaving them to guess from the page.

Core Web Vitals & speed

A fast site ranks better and converts better. We tune loading, layout stability, and mobile performance.

Tracking & reporting

Search Console and analytics set up properly, plus monthly checks on whether the AI answer engines name you, so you see real positions, clicks, and citations.

Answer engine optimization

Show up when customers ask AI for a recommendation

More people skip the results page and just ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI overview for a recommendation. One pest-control site we launched this summer was fielding calls a day from customers who found it through ChatGPT within a month of going live.

The work overlaps with local SEO, so we build it into the same service. When ChatGPT searches the web for a local business, OpenAI says its OAI-SearchBot crawler is what surfaces sites in those results. In BrightLocal's study of 800 local searches, business websites made up 58% of the sources ChatGPT cited, mentions on other sites 27%, and directories 15%. Google says a page has to be indexed and eligible for a snippet to show up as a link in its AI Overviews.

Your own site carries most of the weight, so we start there: crawlers let in, pages that answer customer questions plainly, and the same name, address, and phone on every listing. We add schema and an llms.txt too, because they're cheap, though no engine says it needs them.

Then we track it. Every month we check whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI actually name your business for the questions your customers ask, so you can see it working instead of taking it on faith. Our guide on how to check if ChatGPT recommends your business walks through that check if you want to run it yourself, with a free tool that writes your AI prompts from your service and town and tallies the runs that name you.

Calls from an AI answer come at all hours, and a missed one goes to the next name on the list. We also run an AI receptionist that answers those calls and sends you the real leads.

The full checklist, including the parts you can do yourself for free, is in our guide on how to get your business recommended by ChatGPT.

Proof

Local businesses we got found

We built and optimized the website for Cub River, an age-restricted retail client in Franklin, Idaho, just over the Utah line. Today the site ranks #1 on Google for its own name and for local searches in Franklin.

That did not happen by accident. It came from a fast, well-structured site, LocalBusiness schema, landing pages for the nearby towns, and Google Business Profile work, the same playbook we would run for your business. The case study shows how the site was built.

Excellent experience from start to finish! The website looks clean, professional, and has helped bring more attention to my store while building trust and credibility with customers. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a high quality business website.

For AI search, the proof is Diamond Pest Pro, a multi-location pest-control client in the Carolinas. Within a month of its new site going live, it was fielding calls a day from customers who found it through ChatGPT.

Not only did they educate me on the importance of AEO and optimizing our online presence for AI search, but they also completely rebuilt our website. Within the first two weeks, we started getting multiple sales calls and saw nearly 5X the number of people filling out quote requests. The craziest part has been hearing new customers say, "You guys showed up on ChatGPT when we asked who to use."

How it works

1

Audit

We pull your Search Console data, crawl the site, and map where you rank today versus where the opportunity is.

2

Fix & optimize

We ship the technical fixes, on-page changes, local signals, and schema, prioritizing the ones that move rankings fastest.

3

Track & refine

We watch the query positions in Search Console and keep tuning. SEO is a compounding effort, not a one-time switch.

Work with a local, not a faceless agency

I am Caden Sorenson, the person who does the work. Based in Logan with 15+ years building software, I take on a small number of local clients so I can actually move the needle, and I document what I do. Hiring a big SEO agency or marketing company gets you an account manager and a monthly report full of vanity metrics. Here you get the person doing the work.

Frequently asked questions

Are you an SEO company in Logan, Utah?
Yes. Vient is an independent SEO company based in Logan, and I, Caden, do the work myself, so there's no account manager in between. We work with businesses across Cache Valley, including Logan, North Logan, Hyde Park, Smithfield, Providence, Hyrum, Richmond, and Preston, Idaho. Local SEO is the core of it: your Google Business Profile, local listings, and on-page content, so you show up for nearby searches. To be straight about the proof, our SEO results so far come from the Cub River build near the Utah-Idaho line, covered in the case study on this page, and our AI-search result comes from Diamond Pest Pro in the Carolinas, not from Logan rankings.
Do you offer a free SEO check?
Yes. Send your business name and your website or Google listing through the contact form, and I'll check your Google Business Profile, your site basics, and whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews name you for one local search. I do it by hand and email what I found within 2 business days. There's no obligation, and if the free fixes are enough, I'll tell you that.
What is answer engine optimization?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of getting your business named when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation instead of searching. It overlaps heavily with local SEO, because those tools draw on the same websites, listings, and reviews. You measure it by whether the answer names you, where SEO measures a ranking.
Can you get my business to show up in ChatGPT and AI search?
Yes. That is answer engine optimization, and we build it into our SEO. Nobody controls what ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews say, so no one can promise you a spot. We make your site easy for their search crawlers to read, keep your listings in order, and check every month whether they name you. None of the engines publishes a timeline, so anyone promising a date is guessing. The monthly check is how you see which way it's going.
How long does SEO take to work?
It depends on your starting point and competition, but local SEO usually shows movement in the first one to three months, with bigger gains compounding over six-plus months. We track query positions in Google Search Console so you can see progress, not just take our word for it.
Can you prove SEO actually works?
We would rather show than tell. Cub River, a retail client site we built and optimized, ranks #1 on Google for its own name and for local searches in Franklin, Idaho. The Search Console numbers and what we did to get there are on its case study.
Do I need a new website, or can you improve my current one?
Often we can improve what you have. If your site is fixable, we do technical and on-page SEO on it directly. If it is stuck in a slow page builder that limits SEO, a redesign onto a fast, owned stack is usually the better long-term move, and we handle that too.
How much do SEO services cost?
Start with the free visibility check: I look at your Google listing, your site, and whether AI search names you, and you pay nothing. If you want the problems fixed once, the one-time audit and fix sprint is $750: I find what is holding the site back and ship the fixes, not just a report, and the full $750 is credited toward Growth if you sign up within 30 days. Ongoing local SEO is bundled with your website: the Growth plan is $500 a month for keyword strategy, content, AI answer optimization, Google Business Profile work, rank tracking, and a monthly report and call, and Leads is $1,000 a month with a page for every area you serve and call tracking. See the pricing page for the full breakdown, or tell us your goals on the contact page.
