Local Service Businesses in Colorado: Are You Losing Jobs to Competitors Who Rank Higher on Google, and in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Search?
We help plumbers, dentists, lawyers, contractors, and other local businesses move from page two to page one of Google, and get cited in AI search engines like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. Fast.
Your competitors aren’t better than you. They’re just more visible.
Here's The Reality
When someone searches for your services on Google, they’re calling whoever shows up first. If that’s not you, you’re leaving money on the table every single day.
Worse? AI is changing search right now. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews are answering questions without sending people to websites. If your business isn’t optimized for AI search (what we call GEO – Generative Engine Optimization), you’re about to become invisible.
We Fix Both Problems
I’m Chris Raulf, and I’ve been doing SEO for nearly 30 years. As a recognized AI SEO expert, my team and I specialize in getting local service businesses to the top of Google AND making sure AI search engines recommend you to potential customers.
We’re Colorado-based with offices with offices in Denver, Boulder, and from Fort Collins to Durango. While we love working with local companies, we also work with local businesses across the USA.
You won’t talk to a salesperson. You’ll talk directly to me.
Why Most Local Service Businesses Struggle with SEO
You already know search engine optimization matters. For any local service business, showing up at the top in Google and getting cited in Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity is critically important to generate leads.
The question is: why isn’t yours working?
Here’s what we hear from business owners all the time:
We tried SEO before and got burned.
Our competitors dominate Google, and we can't figure out why.
They’re not spending more money. They’re not bigger. But somehow, they’re everywhere online while you’re buried on page two or three.
We hear about AI search changing everything, but we don't know what to do.
Everyone’s talking about ChatGPT and AI search. You’re seeing your traffic drop because Google’s answering questions directly. How do you adapt without wasting more money?
We don't have time to become SEO experts.
You’re running a business. You need someone who actually knows what they’re doing; not someone reading from a script or selling you the same package they sell everyone else.
The Real Problem:
Most SEO agencies use cookie-cutter strategies that worked five years ago. They don’t understand local markets. They don’t optimize for AI search. And they definitely don’t give you direct access to the actual experts.
That’s where we’re different.
We've Helped Hundreds of Colorado Businesses.
We Can Help You Too
The proof is in the pudding, as they say.
Here's what makes Boulder SEO Marketing different:
You're talking to the founder, not a sales team
When you schedule a call, you’ll speak with me (Chris Raulf) or our COO, Daniel Burns. No junior account managers. No handoffs. Just seasoned experts who’ve been doing this since the ’90s.
We specialize in local service businesses
We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. We work with plumbers, dentists, lawyers, landscapers, medical practices, contractors—businesses where local visibility = revenue. We know your pain points because we’ve solved them hundreds of times.
Our Micro SEO Strategies℠ get results fast
Most agencies want 12-month contracts to “build authority.” We focus on low-hanging fruit: pages already ranking on positions 11-30 (page two or three). With the help of our proprietary micro SEO methodology, we frequently see remarkable results within three to four months.
We're pioneers in GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)
As founder of Boulder SEO Marketing, I (Chris Raulf) have developed one of the most advanced AI, SEO, and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategies in the industry. We deploy these for large companies, but they work incredibly well for small and local service businesses too. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity “best plumber in Denver,” your business should be the one recommended.
We're Colorado-based and nationally capable
We have offices across the Front Range—Boulder, Denver (Cheery Creek and Downtown), Louisville, Broomfield, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and more.
Prefer to meet in person? We’re here. Work with clients nationwide? We do that too, via Google Meet or Zoom.

You'll Speak Directly With the Owners
When you contact Boulder SEO Marketing, you won’t get passed to a junior sales person.
You’ll speak directly with agency owners Chris Raulf or Daniel Burns or our senior digital marketing strategist Barb Senkala.
Here’s how it works:
Chris handles your initial strategy call and performs a preliminary analysis of your website’s opportunities. Then Daniel (our COO and technical expert with 20+ years web design experience) or Barb (our Senior Digital Marketing Strategist with 20+ years of SEO experience) joins the follow-up call to dive deeper.
Why this matters:
Every local service business is different. Every market has unique challenges.
That’s why we develop completely customized AI SEO strategies tailored to your goals—not cookie-cutter packages.
No junior team. No scripts. Just seasoned experts who’ve been doing this since before Google was Google.
