Working with Dardo from Phoenix
Dardo is a three-person design studio in Bogotá, Colombia, led by its founder, Nicolás Cerón. We work with companies in Phoenix remotely: there is no Dardo office in Phoenix. Calls happen on video, in English or Spanish, and everything we agree goes into a written proposal.
Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, with no daylight saving time. Phoenix is 2 hours behind Bogotá all year, so a nine-to-five day in Phoenix shares 6 working hours with a nine-to-five day in Bogotá.
A project starts with a brief through the contact form, by email to hello@dardo.studio or on WhatsApp. Nicolás replies within one business day with the questions that set the scope. The proposal that follows lists the scope, deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, payment stages, a timeline and the people doing the work, by name.
Published starting prices: AI visibility audit from USD 690; Monthly AI visibility tracking and report from USD 299 a month. Anything beyond that is quoted by scope, with no minimum budget. Pricing explains how a quote is built.
What AI search optimization includes
We shape the engagement around the actual brief. The proposal identifies which of these deliverables are included, who supplies the inputs and how each one is accepted.
- AI visibility audit across Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot
- Crawler access fixes in robots.txt, CDN and firewall rules
- Answer pages for the questions buyers ask before contacting you
- Entity cleanup: one name, description and set of profiles across the web
- Map of the outside sources assistants cite in your category
- Agent-ready layer where it fits: markdown copies, llms.txt and MCP tools
- Monthly report with a fixed panel of buyer questions in English and Spanish
The AI search optimization (GEO) service page has the full scope, the process and the questions buyers ask.
How Phoenix searches for AI search optimization (GEO)
These are the searches with Phoenix in them that Ahrefs counts each month in its country (read on 14–15 November 2026). Most people searching for AI search optimization (GEO) don't type a place, so these are a floor for the demand, not all of it:
| Search | Searches a month |
|---|---|
| phoenix ai seo | 100 |
| ai search optimization phoenix | 70 |
| ai seo phoenix | 60 |
We use the same kind of data to plan a client's SEO: which searches to answer, with which page, against which competitors.

Phoenix is 2 hours behind Bogotá all year. Bogotá keeps UTC−5 all year, so a nine-to-five day in Phoenix shares 6 working hours with ours.
How much does AI search optimization (GEO) cost with Dardo?
AI visibility audit from USD 690; Monthly AI visibility tracking and report from USD 299 a month. Each project is quoted by scope in an itemized written proposal in US dollars, with no minimum budget.
Is AI search optimization different from SEO?
It shares the foundation. Google says its AI features rest on its core ranking systems with no additional technical requirements, so indexing, structure and useful content come first. This service adds other platforms' crawlers, the outside sources assistants draw on, how they describe you and new measurement. Keyword research, technical audits and search reporting stay in Dardo's SEO service, and neither service buys links or mentions.
How much does AI search optimization cost?
An AI visibility audit starts at USD 690, and monthly tracking with a report starts at USD 299 a month. The final price depends on the number of platforms, languages and buyer questions in the panel. Changes the audit recommends for the site are quoted separately once you know what they are.
