Reliable Acorn LLC, a Charlotte-based internet marketing consulting firm, today announced the launch of a comprehensive marketing assessment service to help businesses evaluate their current marketing effectiveness as they navigate the industry shift from traditional search engine optimization to generative engine optimization.
The new assessment service addresses growing concerns among business owners about the rapid evolution of search technology and the emergence of AI-powered search tools. The service provides data-driven insights into current marketing performance while helping companies prepare for changes in how customers discover businesses online.
The assessment examines multiple aspects of digital marketing performance, including web analytics accuracy, lead attribution across channels, and the effectiveness of current SEO strategies in reaching both traditional search engines and emerging AI platforms. This comprehensive evaluation helps businesses understand their actual marketing return on investment and identify opportunities for improvement.
"Businesses are receiving conflicting information about whether traditional SEO still matters and how AI will impact their online visibility," said David Zimmerman for Reliable Acorn. "Our assessment cuts through the speculation by analyzing actual performance data and providing clear recommendations based on measurable outcomes, not industry hype or conjecture."
The timing of this service launch coincides with significant changes in how consumers find information online. Recent industry data shows that AI-powered search tools are increasingly influencing purchase decisions, yet many businesses lack the tools to track and attribute leads from these new sources. The assessment helps companies understand their visibility across both traditional and AI-powered search platforms.
The service also addresses a critical gap in the small business market, where companies often struggle to evaluate marketing effectiveness due to limited resources or technical expertise. The assessment provides enterprise-level analytics insights in an accessible format, enabling small business owners to make informed marketing decisions.
A key component of the assessment involves examining the challenges of lead attribution, which have become more complex as customers interact with businesses across multiple touchpoints. The evaluation helps companies understand which marketing channels drive actual revenue, rather than focusing solely on vanity metrics like website traffic or social media followers.
"Many businesses discover they're investing in marketing activities that generate activity but not actual customers," added Zimmerman. "Our assessment identifies these disconnects and provides actionable recommendations for reallocating resources to channels that drive measurable business growth."
The assessment process includes analysis of Google Analytics configuration, evaluation of cross-channel attribution, review of conversion tracking accuracy, and examination of how well current content performs with both traditional search engines and AI language models. Companies receive a detailed report with specific recommendations for improving their marketing effectiveness.
Reliable Acorn provides internet marketing consulting services to businesses across various industries for over 15 years. The company specializes in SEO consulting, pay-per-click advertising, web analytics, and email marketing. The firm has helped clients generate millions of visitors and billions in revenue through data-driven marketing strategies that focus on measurable business outcomes rather than superficial metrics.
