We Help You Show Up When Customers Look For You
Today, business growth depends on being found, understood, and trusted at the exact moment a customer starts their search.
Whether they are looking for a local service in Austin or asking a complex question to an AI assistant, your business succeeds only if it is visible and recommended.
Based in Austin, Texas, Return On Now ensures your brand remains the top choice across all platforms.
As a veteran Austin SEO consultant, founder Tommy Landry helps businesses bridge the gap between traditional SEO expertise and the new world of AI-driven search.
We make sure your business stays easy to find where it matters most: in both local search results and the AI-generated answers your customers are using today.
Our Story: 25 Years of Expertise, 16 Years of Agency Excellence
Founded in 2009 in Austin, Texas, Return On Now was created to help companies stay competitive as digital marketing evolved.
Our foundation is built on a quarter-century of leadership; Tommy Landry has been a leading SEO expert and digital strategist since 1999. He has navigated every major shift in the industry, from the early days of Google to the rise of modern AI technologies like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which allows AI engines to “read” and recommend your website content in real-time.
Over the last 16 years, we’ve built a reputation as a trusted Austin SEO consultant, guiding startups and enterprise brands through the shift to AI-driven discovery.
In 2023, we became a pioneer in the Texas market by introducing Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Consulting, a specialized approach to ensure your brand is the source cited by AI platforms.
We have since expanded into Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Consulting services to ensure your business is the preferred recommendation across platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
How We Work
We begin by identifying where your visibility is at risk today and mapping out where your audience will be looking tomorrow. Our process is built on my proprietary N-E-E-A-T-T framework, expanding on industry standards to prioritize Notability and Transparency in how AI systems select sources. This ensures your brand isn’t just a webpage, but a recognized Entity that AI engines trust and cite.
To maintain high standards in an automated world, we use our proprietary Human + AI Framework (HAIF). This model ensures that while we use AI to improve efficiency, human strategy and oversight remain at the core, creating scalable marketing results without losing the authentic brand voice and credibility your customers demand.
Recognition
Return On Now has been named a Top 25 SEO Company by DesignRush and recognized as a Top Digital Marketing Agency in Austin Texas by multiple award programs. Tommy Landry has also been named a top SEO Expert in the state of Texas. These honors reflect our commitment to technical excellence and measurable business results.
