Built for construction and trade owners who've outgrown doing their own marketing.
We work with construction and the trades around it. You grew on referrals and reputation, real work is coming in, and marketing happens at nine at night, on the nights it happens. You don't want a tool to learn or an agency to manage. You want the work done, and judged on the jobs it wins.
Specialist trade & construction services
General contractors, builders, fit-out and specialist subcontractors. Technically excellent firms with a real credibility story and nobody telling it.
HVAC, roofing, electrical
Crews that win commercial work on reputation and want the phone to ring without the owner chasing it.
Surveyors, engineers, building consultants
Firms that sell expertise. Being the cited authority, in Google and in AI answers, is the growth lever.
Firestopping and fire protection
Firestopping, sprinkler and alarm firms whose work has to pass inspection, and whose buyers check them out before they call.
When a less capable competitor looks better online
The website generates nothing, the referral you were given still gets lost, and the quiet quarter arrives. That's when owners call.

Google's AI answer averages 2.5 businesses. There is no page two.
The AI answer sits above the search results and gives your buyer a few names. Be one of them and you get the call. Miss out and the buyer never sees your name, your reviews or your work, and no ranking report will ever show you the job existed.

Strategy, website, Google and AI search, social, outreach and follow-up. We do the work. You see it in the numbers you run the business on: inquiries, quotes and closed deals.
Who your best customers are, why they buy and what to say to them. The searches with real demand behind them, checked before a page is built. A named list of the accounts worth winning, and the numbers the work will be judged on.

A website your customers can use and AI can read, with a page for each service you sell and each town you work. Then the work that gets you named wherever customers ask: Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity and the other AI engines. Rankings and AI citations tracked every month, links and PR earned, and the gap closed wherever an AI answer names a rival instead of you.

Social, blog and Google Business Profile posts and a monthly newsletter, written from your plan and published once you approve them. Outreach by email and LinkedIn to the accounts you want, about something true, with follow-up handled and meetings booked.

Strategy first. Then one system runs all of it.
Most owners buy marketing in pieces: a web designer, an SEO firm, a social tool, someone to chase leads. None of them share a plan or answer to the same number. Here is how an engagement runs instead, on the system we built to hold it together.
Look
The R-A-D-A-R report. Where you rank in Google and whether six AI engines name you, measured thirty times a question. Who gets named instead, and what to fix first. Keep it either way.
Plan
One plan: your best customers, what to say, the searches with real demand, a named list of target accounts and a 90-day roadmap. The numbers the work will be judged on are agreed here.
Build
A website your customers can use and AI can read, built from the plan. A page for each service and each town you work, with your number and a way to reach you on every page.
Run
Pages, rankings, AI citations, links and PR. Social, blog and Google Business Profile posts, published once you approve. Outreach to the named accounts. One point of contact, accountable start to finish.
Score
Every inquiry traced to the page and search it came from, and reported in inquiries, quotes and closed deals. Next month's work is chosen from what the numbers show.
Dockery Cohesion
We built Cohesion because nothing off the shelf ran the whole job. It keeps every service on one plan and one score.
- One plan.The research that decides which pages get built also sets what your posts are about, and the plan names the accounts outreach goes to.
- One record.Every call, form and email lands in one place, traced to the page and search that produced it.
- One score.Inquiries, quotes and closed deals, every month. The score resets the plan, so the work keeps moving toward what wins jobs.
The big-company playbook, sized for your business.
Judged on closed deals, not rankings
You are not buying traffic, rankings or a report of what we did. You are buying more inquiries, more quotes and more closed deals, agreed before work starts and reported every month, whether or not they flatter us.
Led by enterprise sales and marketing experience
Twenty-plus years leading sales and marketing at enterprise software companies, where selling is a measured discipline with real process behind it. That discipline now runs your marketing, built around what actually closes deals.
AI for the heavy lifting, people for the judgment
AI does the production work. The strategy, the judgment and the final review are human, grounded in your real customers and your real proof. No hype, and a human always has the final say.
In Google and in AI answers
Customers increasingly act on the AI answer they are given. Being absent there is invisible in a way a ranking report never shows. Showing up there is standard work here, not an extra.
Everything from one partner
Marketing fails in pieces. So we built Dockery Cohesion, one system where it all runs as one: strategy, website, Google and AI answers, social, outreach and follow-up. Nothing stitched together, and no finger-pointing when results stall.
One owner of your results, end to end
No handoffs mid-stream and no account manager relaying messages, so no finger-pointing when results stall. One point of contact owns your results, from the plan to the reported deal.
The questions owners ask first.
What are you actually judged on?
Revenue, not metrics. More inquiries, more quotes and more closed deals, agreed before work starts and reported every month, whether or not they flatter us. Not rankings, not traffic, not a report of what we did. A strategy deck is not the deliverable. Closed deals are.
How to choose a digital marketing agency?
Judge any digital marketing agency on one thing: what it is accountable for. Whether you are hiring an SEO agency, a search engine optimization company, an online marketing or internet marketing partner, or a full marketing team, ask whether it ties its work to inquiries, quotes and closed deals, or only to rankings, traffic and activity reports. Ask who actually owns the result: one accountable contact, or a rotating cast you never meet. And ask to see the system that runs it. DockeryAI is the search engine optimization agency and SEO company Austin owners choose when they want the whole job done, built on twenty-plus years leading sales and marketing at enterprise software companies, around what actually closes deals.
How do you use AI?
For what it is actually good at: the heavy production work, on Dockery Cohesion, the system we built because nothing off the shelf ran the whole playbook. The strategy, the judgment and the final review are human, grounded in your real customers' words and your real proof, never generic prompts. No hype, and a human always has the final say. Ask any agency to show you the system that actually does the work; ours has a name.
What is Dockery Cohesion?
Dockery Cohesion is the system we built to run a small business's sales and marketing as one piece. It plans the approach, builds and publishes the website and pages, writes and posts the social, runs the outreach, and tracks every inquiry through to the deal. You see the results; the system does the heavy lifting.
Why does AI search optimization matter for my business?
Customers increasingly ask AI who to use: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews. The answer names a few businesses and stops. If you are not in that answer, the job goes to someone who is, and no ranking report will ever show you it happened. Making sure you show up there is part of the standard work here, not an extra. The industry calls it GEO — generative engine optimization, also called answer engine optimization or AI SEO — and for you it simply means showing up when customers ask AI who to use.
Do I still need a web developer, an SEO person and a social tool?
No. Strategy, website, Google and AI answers, social, outreach and follow-up run from one place, with one point of contact. Nothing stitched together, and no finger-pointing when results stall.
Who actually does the work?
One accountable owner of your results, from the plan to the reported deal. No handoffs mid-stream, no account manager relaying messages, and no finger-pointing when results stall. You always know who to call and who is answerable for the work.
How long until I see results?
Your website goes live first. Showing up on Google and in AI answers builds over months, not weeks. Anyone promising page one in thirty days is selling you something. That is exactly why waiting is expensive: the compounding starts whenever you start.
What do you need from me?
One short onboarding, clear asks, then very little. Content, scheduling and posting are handled; you approve, we run it. No new dashboard to live in.
We have someone doing our marketing. Is this replacing them?
No. They keep the brand and the credit. We do the technical work they have never been given time or resources for, and the results land in their review, not ours.
Am I locked in?
No. There is no lock-in: if the work stops delivering, you stop. The results have to keep earning their place.
What does it cost?
One monthly plan at a published price: $475 a month on a site we build. Keeping your current site? It starts with a $750 full site audit, then the plan is priced for your site. That works out at about half of what a traditional agency charges, because AI does the heavy production. See what SEO and AI SEO cost.
