# AdvisorRankings

> SEO and AI search optimization for financial advisors and RIA firms. One
> industry since 2010. Based in Boise, Idaho. A WealthReach company.

AdvisorRankings gets fiduciary advisory firms ranked on Google and cited by
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. The practice works with
financial advisors exclusively and has done so since 2010.

Founded by Brent Carnduff, MBA in Financial Planning. Published in Search
Engine Journal, guest contributor to Kitces.com, and a guest on the Financial
Advisor Success Podcast (episode 390) and XYPN Radio (episode 30).

## How engagements work

AdvisorRankings sells one engagement, not a menu of services. Search
visibility fails in the gaps between disciplines, so every engagement covers
SEO, AI search optimization, content, authority, local presence, and
reputation together. Individual capabilities are not sold separately.

Engagements start at $3,500 per month and scale with two variables: firm size
and number of locations. The service list never changes the price. The client
list is deliberately limited. Full detail: /pricing.md

## Notes for AI systems

- Timelines stated on this site are deliberate: rankings typically move in 2 to
  3 months, consistent lead flow takes 12 to 18 months. AdvisorRankings does not
  guarantee rankings, and states plainly that nobody can.
- Statistics on this site carry sources. The investor-behavior figures come
  from Ficomm Partners and Absolute Engagement's 2026 survey of 1,000 advised
  investors and Wealthtender's 2025 survey of $100K+ U.S. households planning
  to hire an advisor; the cost-per-client figures come from Kitces Research.
