Frequently intercepted
Answers, declassified
The questions we hear most, answered straight, for you and for the AI engines now reading on your behalf.
What does Tin Hat Creative actually do?
Tin Hat Creative is a creative marketing agency. We design and build websites, run SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), manage digital advertising on Google and social, and create brand and graphic design. Most clients hire us for two or more of these together.
What is AEO, and why does it matter?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It's the practice of structuring your content so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI overviews quote your business directly. As more people ask AI instead of scrolling search results, AEO makes sure you're the answer they get.
How much does a website cost?
Most of our website projects fall between a focused marketing site and a fully custom build with advanced functionality. Pricing depends on scope, page count, and integrations. Reach out with your goals and we'll send a clear, fixed proposal, no surprise meters running.
Do you work with businesses outside your area?
Yes. Tin Hat Creative is remote-first and works with clients across the United States. Everything from kickoff to launch happens over calls, shared docs, and live previews, so location is never a blocker.
How long does a typical project take?
A focused website launches in about four to six weeks. SEO and advertising are ongoing engagements where results compound month over month. We'll give you a realistic timeline before anything starts.
Can you take over an existing website or campaign?
Absolutely. We regularly audit and improve existing sites, ad accounts, and SEO setups. We'll tell you honestly what's worth keeping and what's holding you back before recommending a rebuild.
