AI-First SEO for Industrial and Technical B2B Companies

Method 21 is a Houston SEO agency built for how buyers search now: in Google and in the AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. We get industrial and technical B2B companies found and cited in both, and we've been doing SEO since 2008. PPC, web development and conversion optimization support the same goal.

AI Is Built Into How We Find, Build and Measure

  • Measured in AI Answers
    We ask AI tools the questions your buyers ask and track mentions and citations next to rankings.
  • Pages Written to Be Cited
    Each heading makes a claim with the answer right under it, the spec data is on the page, and structured data names the company, its products and its people. That's Generative Search Signals.
  • AI in the Production
    We build keyword strategies and page meta for whole catalogs, plus audits and reporting, with AI tools, and a person reviews every page before it goes live.

One Industrial Catalog Went From 84 to 970 Organic Sessions per Month

An explosion-proof camera manufacturer had its whole range on one page. A page per model, product structured data and an indexing fix took the pages earning search traffic from 2 to 274, and the category's main keyword reached number one in the first month.
