The problem
Your next customer is looking right now. Are they finding you — or your competitor?
How people choose a local business has changed. If you’re not showing up in all three places, you’re handing work to someone else.
Search & Maps
“Near me” searches decide who gets the call. If you’re not in the top three on the map, most people never see you.
AI assistants
More people now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews for recommendations. Those tools only mention businesses they can understand and trust.
Social feeds
Before they call, people check your Facebook and Instagram. A dead page or stale posts quietly sends them elsewhere.
What I do
Everything you need to win online — under one roof
Pick one service or let me run the whole thing. Either way, it all works together toward one goal: more calls, bookings and sales.
Local SEO
Google Business Profile optimization, citations, reviews strategy and local pages to get you into the map pack.
SEO & AEO
Technical and on-page SEO plus Answer Engine Optimization, so search engines and AI assistants recommend you.
Blogging & Content
Optimized blog posts and website copy written in your voice — built to answer the questions your customers actually ask.
Google Ads
Search campaigns set up and managed to put you at the top for high-intent searches — with tight budgets and no wasted clicks.
Social Media Management
Consistent, on-brand posting for Facebook and Instagram that keeps you visible and builds trust before the first call.
Video Content
Short-form video, reels and AI-assisted video ads that stop the scroll and show people why they should choose you.
Website Design & Care
Fast, mobile-first WordPress sites designed to convert visitors — plus updates, accessibility fixes and ongoing care.
AI Automation & Workflows
AI tools and automated follow-ups (GoHighLevel, SMS, email) that capture leads and save you hours every week.
Also available: logo & brochure design, product photography and video editing.
New: AI search
Search is changing. Most local businesses haven’t noticed yet.
When someone asks an AI assistant “who’s the best plumber near me?”, it gives one or two names — not ten blue links. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is how you become one of those names.
It’s an early-mover advantage: the businesses that get set up now will be the ones AI keeps recommending.
- Structured data (schema) so AI understands exactly what you do and where
- Content written to directly answer real customer questions
- Consistent business info across the web so AI trusts it
- Visibility checks across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews
THE OLD WAY
Rank somewhere on page one and hope people scroll down and click.
THE NEW WAY
Be the business Google, ChatGPT and Gemini name when your customers ask — and be on page one too.

About RAST
Hi, I’m Rich. You’ll deal with me — not an account manager.
RAST Enterprises is my digital marketing business, based in Pittsgrove, New Jersey. Before this I was a production buyer in England, a graphic designer in Australia, and ran my own award-winning café, restaurant and museum — so I know what it takes to run a local business, and that marketing has to bring in customers, not just look nice.
Today I help local businesses across South Jersey and around the country with everything from Google rankings and ad campaigns to social content, video and AI automation.

Local & accountable
A South Jersey business that answers the phone.
Ahead on AI
Built for how people search today, not ten years ago.
All under one roof
SEO, ads, social, video and web working together.
FAQ
Questions people ask
What’s the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps you rank in Google’s search results and map pack. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) helps AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews understand your business and recommend it when people ask for suggestions. You need both, and a lot of the groundwork overlaps.
How long does SEO take to work?
Local SEO improvements often start showing within a few months, while competitive keywords take longer. If you need leads sooner, Google Ads can bring in calls while your organic rankings build.
Do you only work with businesses in New Jersey?
No. I’m based in Pittsgrove, NJ and work with plenty of businesses in Salem and Cumberland County, but I also work with clients across the country.
Do I have to sign up for everything?
Not at all. Some clients just need Google Ads or social media; others hand me the whole lot. We’ll work out what makes sense for your goals and budget.
Can you work with my existing website?
Yes. I can improve and maintain your current WordPress site, or design a new one if it’s holding you back.
