What does search engine optimization include?
Sivusuunta's SEO includes a competitor analysis, a keyword plan, technical and basic AI optimization, Search Console setup, Google Business Profile optimization and a monthly report. We also write blog posts for your website that support your search visibility: two in the starter package and two a month in the growth package.
-
Competitor analysis
You see where your competitors show up in Google and AI search instead of you.
-
Monthly report
Every month you see how your visibility has developed from the starting point.
-
Ongoing competitor tracking
In the growth package, competitors' visibility is tracked every month.
-
Google Business Profile optimization
Your business details corrected for local searches and AI answers.
-
Keyword plan
The keywords your customers search with, and one main keyword for each page.
-
Blog posts
Two blog posts in the starter package and two blog posts a month in the growth package. The posts answer your customers' questions.
-
Page tuning based on the results
In the growth package, pages are updated based on what brings visibility and enquiries.
-
Technical and AI groundwork
Google and AI bots can read your pages when the site is fast, the heading structure is clear and the content is in the HTML.
-
Search Console setup
Your sitemap is submitted to Google, and you see which searches your pages show up for.
You can track how search engine optimization affects enquiries with web analytics, which shows where visitors come from and what brings in enquiries.
What does SEO mean in practice?
Sivusuunta's SEO runs in seven steps, from mapping the current situation to the technical foundation. In the starter package the steps are done once; in the growth package the work continues every month. In the growth package, your website is improved every month based on the data.
-
Step 1
Mapping the current situation
We find out where your business shows up in Google and AI search today, and where competitors show up instead.
-
Step 2
Keywords and their variations
We choose the keywords and variations your customers actually search with, such as price, city or “for business”.
-
Step 3
Search volume and intent
For every keyword we check the search volume, the cost per click and what the searcher wants to find.
-
Step 4
The AI filter
We check whether Google's AI answers and ChatGPT answer the search, and which pages they cite.
-
Step 5
Keyword map
Each page gets one main keyword, so your pages don't compete with each other.
-
Step 6
Content worth citing
Pages are written so that every section answers its question straight away and AI can cite it.
-
Step 7
Technical foundation
We make sure Google and AI bots can read the pages: speed, a clean heading structure and content in the HTML.
How quickly does SEO show results?
The effect of technical SEO fixes can show within a few weeks, but growth in rankings usually takes months.
That is why the growth package has a minimum commitment of three months, and the monthly report shows the progress every month. Sivusuunta does not promise a specific ranking, because nobody can honestly promise one. Sivusuunta promises to do every month what increases search visibility: new content, page fine-tuning based on results and ongoing competitor tracking.

What's the difference between SEO and AI optimization?
SEO (search engine optimization) improves your company's rankings in Google's search results, and AI optimization helps AI services such as ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity find your company's information and talk about it.
Put simply, a search engine shows a list of companies, while AI writes an answer and can recommend a business in it. Sivusuunta does SEO and AI optimization together, because good SEO is the foundation of AI optimization. Clear content and structured data help both Google and AI understand what your business does. So every SEO package always includes AI optimization as well.
-
