What makes Telos different from other SEO agencies in Northern Colorado?

Telos optimizes for both traditional rank AND AI Overview citations — a combination most agencies have not yet adapted to. As of May 2026, Google's AI Overview now answers approximately 60% of service queries directly in the SERP, before any organic result earns a click. Traditional SEO (rank for the keyword) is half the game. The other half is being the named source AI Overview cites when it answers. Telos's methodology includes llms.txt + llms-full.txt machine-readability files, FAQ schema for answer-shaped content, original-data content (not derivative summaries), and entity graph optimization. Plus the Telos Dashboard gives clients live AI Overview citation tracking — most agencies cannot show clients this data because they do not measure it.

How long until I see SEO results with Telos?

Local SEO improvements (Google Business Profile, citations, local schema) typically show ranking movement in 30-60 days. On-page and technical SEO improvements (meta rewrites, schema markup, internal linking, content depth) show 60-90 day movement. AI Overview citation rate improvements are slower — typically 90-180 days — because Google's AI Overview algorithm samples sources over a longer window before adding a new domain to its citation set. Telos sets clear baseline metrics at the start of every engagement and reports against them monthly.

Does Telos guarantee #1 rankings?

No, and any agency that does is lying or about to disappoint. What Telos commits to: clear documented baseline metrics (rankings, impressions, clicks, conversions, AI Overview citation rate) at the start of the engagement, measurable improvement on those baselines over the engagement period, and complete transparency on the Telos Dashboard about what is working and what is not. Rankings are a downstream output. Telos focuses on the upstream inputs (content quality, schema, technical health, link velocity) that drive rankings sustainably.

What is included in a Telos SEO engagement?

A typical Telos SEO engagement includes: technical SEO audit (Lighthouse, Core Web Vitals, indexability, schema validation), on-page optimization (titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking), local SEO (Google Business Profile optimization, local citation building, local schema markup), content strategy (topic clusters, FAQ schema, AI-citable answer content), AI Overview citation strategy (llms.txt, llms-full.txt, original-data content, entity graph), and monthly reporting through the Telos Dashboard.

What does SEO cost with Telos?

SEO retainers range from $750 to $2,500 per month depending on scope. The base retainer covers technical maintenance, monthly content shipping, GBP cadence, and reporting. Higher tiers add original-data content production (the StoryBrand category-authority play), expanded local-market targeting (multi-city footprint), and paid search management if needed. Telos prefers month-to-month engagements over annual contracts so clients can re-evaluate based on dashboard data each quarter.
