How we work

Two different jobs.

A search engine gives you ten links and the person chooses. An assistant gives one answer and mentions two or three businesses. Sarape Web Studio works both fronts, and they are not the same job. Here is the full method, without smoke.

PART ONE

What is search engine optimization?

Search engine optimization — SEO — is the work of making Google understand what your business is about and show it when someone searches for what you sell. Sarape Web Studio works it on four fronts, and all four have to be in place for any of it to work.

The four fronts of search optimization

01

Technical — so Google can read the site

  • Every page loads its full content from the server, without depending on JavaScript. If the content only appears after code runs, many crawlers never see it.
  • Sitemap and crawl file declared and kept up to date.
  • Load speed: static sites, images in modern formats with declared dimensions, preloaded fonts.
  • Clean, permanent addresses. One page, one address. 301 redirects when something changes.
  • Security certificate and a single version of the domain: with www or without it, never both.
02

Content — so Google understands what you sell

  • A distinct title and description for every page, written for the person about to click, not for the search engine.
  • One main heading per page, and secondary headings that describe what follows.
  • Real text about every product and service. Not three adjectives: what it is, who it is for, what it includes, what it costs and how it is different.
  • Descriptive image filenames and alt text.
03

Local — so Google knows where you are

  • A complete Google Business Profile: correct category, hours, photos, services and attributes.
  • Name, address and phone number identical — character by character — on the site, on Google and in every directory where the business appears. A single inconsistency splits the signal.
  • Local business structured data with coordinates, hours and price range.
  • Reviews: a system for requesting them consistently and answering every one.
04

Authority — so Google trusts you

  • Mentions and links from real local sites: chambers of commerce, industry directories, regional press, suppliers and partners.
  • Content other people want to cite because it says something nobody else says.

PART TWO

What is GEO?

GEO — generative engine optimization — is the work of making AI assistants able to find, read, understand and cite your business when someone asks them anything related to what you sell. Sarape Web Studio works it on six fronts.

How is it different from regular search optimization?

There is no page two. A search engine gives you ten links and the person chooses; an assistant gives one answer and mentions two or three businesses. You are either in that answer or you do not exist in that conversation.

SEARCH ENGINE

Ten links.
The person chooses.

There is a second chance: ranking lower is still being on the list.

AI ASSISTANT

One answer.
Two or three businesses.

There is no page two. You show up or you do not exist there.

And the assistant does not "remember" your business: in most cases it runs a search on the spot, opens the pages it finds, extracts fragments and cites them. All of Sarape Web Studio's work consists of making your page one of the pages it opens, and making the fragment it extracts the one that works for you.

The six fronts of GEO

01

Open crawling

Assistants use their own crawlers: OpenAI's GPTBot and OAI-SearchBot, Anthropic's ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended and Bingbot for Copilot. If the crawl file blocks them, the business is out by its own decision.

Sarape Web Studio checks that they are allowed and explains what each one implies, because it is your decision: allowing the crawl also means your content can be used to train models.

02

Complete structured data

It is the difference between a model interpreting your page and a model reading it. Sarape Web Studio implements it in JSON-LD, with the schemas that match your type of business.

Every schema is validated before publishing. The aggregate rating is only marked when there are real, visible reviews on the page itself: inventing it or importing it from elsewhere is grounds for a penalty.

03

Content shaped as an answer

Models extract fragments, not pages. The heading is the question, phrased the way a person would ask it. The first paragraph is the complete answer in 40 to 60 words, direct and without preamble. The detail comes after.

And the rule most often forgotten: every section has to make sense on its own, torn out of the rest. If a paragraph says "we prepare it fresh every day", the model that extracts it does not know who "we" are or what "it" is. That is why Sarape Web Studio repeats the name of the business and the product inside every block. It reads oddly for someone reading straight through; it reads perfectly for a model reading one piece.

04

One name everywhere

Models cross-reference sources. If the site says "Restaurante Don Artemio", Google says "Don Artemio Restaurant" and a directory says "Don Artemio Cocina Mexicana", the model sees three weak businesses instead of one strong one.

Sarape Web Studio defines a canonical form of the name, the address and the phone number, corrects it everywhere and links the sources to each other.

05

Formats that are easy to cite

Models cite more readily what already comes organized: pricing tables, numbered lists of steps, short definitions, side-by-side comparisons, questions and answers.

Wherever the content allows it, Sarape Web Studio presents it in those forms, in real HTML — table, list, heading — never as an image and never as text pretending to be a table.

06

Signals that the content is alive and yours

Publication and last-updated dates, visible and marked in the structured data. Plus content only that business can write: its own numbers, years in operation, processes, ingredient origins, concrete cases.

A model prefers to cite the source that says something specific over the source that repeats what is generic.

Which schemas Sarape Web Studio implements for your business

STRUCTURED DATA IN JSON-LD
Type of business Schemas
Restaurant Restaurant, Menu, MenuSection, MenuItem, Offer, OpeningHoursSpecification, GeoCoordinates
Store or catalog Store, Product, Offer, AggregateOffer, Brand
Professional services ProfessionalService, Service, OfferCatalog, Person for each professional
All of them Organization, WebSite, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, ImageObject, sameAs pointing to every profile and listing

What is not in Sarape Web Studio's hands?

We cannot guarantee that an assistant will recommend your business. Nobody can, and whoever promises it is selling you smoke.

What we do control is that your business information is complete, that it says the same thing everywhere, that nothing is blocked that would keep it from being read, and that it is written in the format these systems understand best. That is measurable work, and every month we show you the measurement.
