SEO isn't about keyword stuffing anymore—it's about visibility everywhere your customers search.
Search has fundamentally changed. Today's buyers don't just use Google—they ask ChatGPT for recommendations, query Perplexity for research, and trust AI Overviews in their search results. If your business isn't optimized for AI-powered search platforms, you're invisible to a massive (and growing) segment of potential customers.
At Long Weekend, we combine traditional SEO fundamentals with AI search optimization (AIO) to ensure your business shows up in:
- Google organic results and AI Overviews
- ChatGPT recommendations and citations
- Perplexity AI search results
- Claude, Gemini, and other LLM-powered tools
The result? You capture more demand at every stage of the buyer's journey—whether they're searching on Google or asking an AI for the best solution to their problem.
We use AI-powered research tools to uncover keyword opportunities your competitors miss, optimize content that AI models trust and cite, and build technical infrastructure (like LLMs.txt) that ensures search engines and AI platforms can properly crawl and understand your site.isn’t about keyword stuffing anymore — it’s about authority.
This isn't just SEO. It's future-proof visibility.

We're here to answer every question you might have.
Hiring a senior-level designer or marketer would cost upwards of $100,000 not including benefits. Our monthly fee is a fraction of this cost. Additionally, most companies don't have enough work to occupy 100% of an employee's time.
So, instead of paying a full-time salary to someone who will be used a portion of the time, why not hire a top-tier team dedicated to design and marketing when you need it.
Depending on the request, we aim to turn around design and copy work in a matter of days. You receive unlimited revisions - we will rework anything until you're happy - although, most of the time we get it right the first time.
When growing a company, you need to be nimble and move quickly. Our agile team is ready for your requests around the clock. You get high quality work fast. We remove the need to hire a freelancer each time you need something. This saves you time, and allows you to launch your ideas faster and focus on growing your business.
We've worked with companies across industries, but we tend to work well with startups, tech companies, small businesses, solopreneurs, small internet businesses, YouTube + TikTok creators, and more. Check out some of the work we've done recently.
We believe in flexibility (see our value prop.). So, we let you pause, cancel, or resume your subscription anytime you want.
