Own search. Be the answer.
The power of an enterprise SEO platform, with a strategist who tells you what to do with it.
Your SEO tool flags hundreds of issues and calls 40 of them critical. You fix 25. Traffic still doesn't move. Growth Baron's audit tools cut that list to the fixes with the most traffic potential, then a senior strategist turns them into a custom plan for you. We work with you or your team to implement it. RankGuard watches your Google rankings and what ChatGPT and Google's AI say about you. If you slip, or an AI starts recommending a competitor, you'll know that week.
Google, AI Overviews, ChatGPT. Wherever your readers or buyers go looking, you're who they find.
Which one are you?
Publishers
You run search for a site or a network with hundreds of pages, and every update moves the floor.
How it works for publishers →Brands with locations
Whether you have one location or dozens, each has its own map ranking, profile and reviews, and you need eyes on every one.
How it works for locations →Plenty of data. No clear next move.
Most search reports say what happened. Few say what to do about it, who does it, or whether last month's work did anything.
- Your keyword list is full of terms your audience would never search.
- You've got six spreadsheets of what to optimize, and none of them agree.
- Your monthly report is 40 pages long, and nobody can say what changed.
- You're told the work was done, and there's no log of what, when or why.
- You rank in the map pack downtown and vanish two miles out.
- ChatGPT recommends your competitor, and you found out by accident.
- Someone asks AI for "the best [service] near me," and it names the place down the street.
Audit it. Rank it. Ship it. Find the next win.
- 01
Audit
Your site, your competitors, every AI answer and every map pin, all mapped in one pass. Day one, you know exactly where you stand.
- 02
Plan
Every fix is ranked by what it wins. Each one has an owner, a date and a reason, and the plan is sized to what your team can actually ship.
- 03
Always hunting
RankGuard never stops scanning. It flags new keywords your audience is searching, pages slipping before they fall, competitors making moves, and AI answers where you could be named. Every opportunity lands in the plan, ranked against everything else.
- 04
Every week
We pick the next move, write the briefs and log every change. Your top-3 pages stay protected, because we don't fix what's already winning.
- 05
Every month
We show what moved, what didn't, and which new openings we found, all measured against day one.
Everything between your audit and your results.
Nothing to bolt on and no spreadsheet on the side. Each piece feeds the plan, so it stays current as search changes.
Audit
Know what's broken, and what's worth fixing.
Technical health and Core Web Vitals, on-page optimization for your current pages, content, backlinks, competitors and the gaps between you, crawler access, and every location's map rankings if you have them.
Keyword research
Focus on the searches you can win, and skip the ones nobody types.
Every search is checked for demand, what ranks on page one, whether an AI answer shows and who it cites, and when the season peaks. Each lands in one lane: improve a page, build a new one, come back later, or skip.
Ranked plan
Know what to do first.
Each fix is scored on its value, the demand behind it and how reachable it is, then sorted into lanes and one overall list.
Briefs
Hand your team a brief, not a report.
Refresh briefs name the one change a page needs. New-page briefs show what it takes to beat the top result. Both cover Google and AI answers, so nobody has to translate findings into tasks.
Measured changes
Keep only what works.
Each changed page is locked for 90 days and compared with a similar page left alone. A change stays only if it helps.
AI answer checks
See who AI answers send buyers to.
Whether AI answers name you, cite your pages, or cite someone else instead, with the date of each check.
Change alerts
Hear about big drops before your next report does.
Rankings drop on a Tuesday. You know by Wednesday, and the fix is ready for approval as a new priority. Same goes when an AI stops naming you. Every week you get the short version: what changed, what we did, what's next, and what actually moved.
Enterprise power, without the enterprise contract.
Enterprise SEO platforms hand you the data and leave the work to your team. Growth Baron gives you the platform and the judgment, month to month.
The engine
Everything the big platforms track, automated from day one.
Technical, competitors, keywords, on-page, links, AI answers and local, in one system that never stops running.
The judgment
Data tells you what's wrong. We tell you what to do.
A senior strategist turns everything the engine finds into a short list of moves, ranked by what they'll win.
A private dashboard that updates as your data does.
One login instead of Search Console, Analytics, a rank tracker and a crawler. It's the same view we work from.
- What's up next, and what's in progress
- Keyword research, sorted into improve, build or leave
- Seasonal demand, so work lands before the peak
- A work log of every change, with the date and the reason
- Clicks, traffic and conversions from your Search Console and Analytics, against your baseline
- Map grids for each location, if you have them
Buyers ask AI before they click.
When Google shows an AI summary, people click a regular result on 8% of visits. When it doesn't, it's 15%.Pew Research, 68,879 searches by 900 US adults, March 2025
Most AI tracking pastes your keywords into ChatGPT and calls it a score. Buyers don't talk in keywords, and AI doesn't answer from one search.
So we start from your keywords and build the questions your buyers actually ask, at every stage from "what is" to "who should I hire." Then we look under each answer: the searches behind it, the pages it read, and the ones it cited. You see three things for every question: whether you're named, whether you're cited, and which of your pages the AI read and passed over. That last list is where the fastest fixes usually are.
We run each question several times, because AI answers change from one ask to the next, and we check again every month.
If AI crawlers can't reach your pages, they can't cite them. The audit checks access for each major search and AI crawler.
After the first month, you'll know where you stand.
A baseline for everything we track, a ranked list of fixes with owners, a dashboard your team can check any time, and a first review against that baseline. Without a baseline, the next report looks like the last one.
Questions
Is this software or an agency?
Your choice. Go managed, and we run it with your team each week. Or take the platform yourself and run it in your own workspace with your in-house team.
Who does the work?
On the managed plan, we audit, plan, write the briefs and measure. Your team makes the changes, or we do. On self-serve, your team runs it. Either way, the plan shows who owns each fix.
What if a fix isn't realistic for our team?
Then it doesn't go in the plan. Fixes are chosen with you and paced to what your team can ship. Anything blocked waits in the backlog with the reason.
Can I trust the numbers?
Every number carries its source and date and is checked before it reaches your dashboard.
Do you guarantee rankings, traffic or AI mentions?
No. Nobody controls those, and anyone who promises them is guessing. Every change is tracked against your starting point, so you can see what worked.
Am I locked in?
Managed: 3 months, then month to month. Self-serve: month to month from day one. You keep your audit either way.
Bring your site. We'll show you where we'd start.
Every search has a name AI keeps recommending. Let's make it yours.
On the call we'll look at your site with you. Afterward, we'll send a short note with the first fixes we'd make, whether or not you sign up.
