Where the public evidence points
KDGS Works qualifies through a current Overland Park address, a named founder, a substantive modern SEO and AEO delivery model and several unusually detailed technical case studies. The cases are anonymized, but they publish timelines, exact metrics and even negative revenue movement where applicable. No supported founding year, current headcount or exact recurring price was found, so those fields remain unknown instead of being inferred from senior-led or team language.
Current pages publish a Kansas address and name the founder rather than relying on a generic Kansas City service page
The service model emphasizes crawl architecture, schema, intent-led content, internal linking and answer-engine visibility
Detailed anonymized cases include exact periods, gains and adverse metrics instead of presenting only favorable headlines

Questions for the sales call
- Confirm the legal operating history, current team size, named specialists and whether strategy, writing, development or outreach is subcontracted.
- Request analytics, Search Console and revenue exports for a comparable engagement, including the full migration-loss and channel-attribution picture rather than headline gains alone.
- Obtain a priced proposal defining recurring technical, content, authority and AEO work, implementation, reporting cadence, contract term and ownership.
What this profile does not prove
- All selected clients are anonymized and every result is company-authored rather than independently audited.
- No supported founding year or current team band is public, so tenure and capacity receive no score despite founder and team language.
- No exact recurring SEO fee is public, and the dry-cleaner program mixes SEO with paid media, website and video work.
