Owner of Tradewinds Media. ◉ Austin Ryder · Denver, CO ExperienceNearly a decade in organic growth SpecialtiesSEO · AI visibility · DTC growth Based inDenver, Colorado [Connect with Austin on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-ryder) Austin has been in organic growth for nearly a decade. Running campaigns at agencies like NP Digital and GR0, he led SEO and content for brands including Adobe, Dell, TB12 Sports, Universal Technical Institute, and over 50 others. Then he watched search split into Google and AI answers, and watched DTC brands get pitched by legacy SEO shops that ignored AI, or “GEO” shops chasing a buzzword with no fundamentals behind it. The brands he worked with deserved an honest, specialist partner who could do both. So he bottled up the enterprise-agency playbook, minus the bloat, into a single framework built for DTC e-commerce brands. That framework became the foundation of Tradewinds Media. Today, Tradewinds helps DTC brands get found and recommended across Google and AI search, then proves the revenue with an attribution layer most agencies never bother to install. Outside of business, Austin lives in Colorado with his family. He enjoys hiking, reading, weightlifting, running, and spending time with his wife and kids.

SW Shawn Whalen Owner · Whalen Exteriors FAQ ## Questions we get all the time. Still not sure? Book the intro call. Ten minutes and you'll know whether we can move the needle for your business. How is this different from a regular SEO agency? We treat Google and AI search as one integrated system, covering ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews. Most SEO agencies ignore AI search. Most “GEO” shops ignore the SEO fundamentals that still carry the volume. We do both, and we prove it live with the shelf test: real buyer prompts, real screenshots, you versus your competitors. Isn’t “AI visibility” just a buzzword? Nearly a third of US consumers now use AI search daily, and AI-referred ecommerce traffic converts roughly 31% higher than non-branded organic. It’s early, and we’re honest about that, which is exactly why we take it seriously instead of overhyping it. It’s already driving revenue most brands can’t see yet. Can I actually measure revenue from AI search? Yes, and almost nobody installs the layer that lets you. Around 70% of AI referrals show up as “direct” traffic in a default GA4 setup. We fix GA4, add post-purchase surveys, and track citations so the program gets judged on dollars, not rankings. Check your own GA4 today and you’ll see the blind spot for yourself. Should I drop SEO and just focus on AI? No. Classic organic search is still many times larger than AI referral traffic. Brands that abandon SEO for the shiny new thing lose. Brands that treat Google and AI search as one integrated system win both, so that’s how we run it. What do I get before I hire you? A clear picture of where your brand shows up today in Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews, who is showing up ahead of you, why they get recommended instead, and the exact steps to change that. You get it in two weeks, free, and it is yours whether or not you work with us. Who actually works on my account? Your account has a clear lead and a team matched to the work. Austin built the system and sets the quality standard. You can see who owns each task, what is live, and what comes next. We do not hide the work behind vague account reports. Who is a good fit for Tradewinds? DTC e-commerce brands doing roughly $1M to $20 M in annual revenue, usually on Shopify, spending real money on paid acquisition and feeling CAC pressure. Not a fit: pre-revenue stores, dropshippers, marketplace-only sellers, or anyone wanting guaranteed rankings in 30 days. Do I have to sign a long-term contract? No. We work month to month and re-earn the retainer every 30 days. If the work stops paying, you stop paying. Long contracts are how agencies protect themselves from underperforming. How fast will I see results? You get the full picture of your AI and Google visibility in two weeks. From there, organic and AI visibility compound over months, not days. Anyone promising specific numbers in 30 days is guessing. We set time-bound benchmarks and a clear ROI target before we start, then report against them in dollars.
