The eight nodes · ABA marketing services
ABA marketing services -
wired as nodes in one engine.
You can hire one node at a time - but the compounding is in the integration. SEO, GEO, Digital PR, CRO, UX, web development, Local SEO, and paid ads are wired together as one growth system, accountable to qualified pipeline instead of per-discipline activity reports. Engage one, two, or all eight. Either way, you're engaging the system.
You’ll talk with Michael Mitrakos,
Higglo’s CEO and head of strategy.

ABA companies we’ve grown
Full-funnel growth engine
One integrated system that turns visibility into revenue.
Most agencies sell channels in silos. We build a single funnel where every layer reinforces the next - from the first search to the booked consult. SEO brings them in. Local SEO gets the nearest clinic found. GEO ensures AI assistants recommend you. Paid ads cover the markets the rest hasn't reached yet. CRO and UX remove friction. Web development ships it fast. PR amplifies authority. One compounding engine, engineered around pipeline.
- E.01
SEO & GEO
Dominate traditional search results and AI-generated answers so your brand is the one prospects find - and the one assistants recommend.
Stage 01 · Discover - E.02
Press & Authority
Strategic press releases and media placements that build domain authority, earn backlinks, and strengthen trust across every channel.
Stage 02 · Consider - E.03
CRO & UX
Turn traffic into action. We audit, test, and redesign every conversion path so more visitors become qualified consultations.
Stage 03 · Convert - E.04
Web development
Fast, accessible, search-ready websites built to convert - not just look good. Every page is engineered around your funnel.
Stage 04 · Compound - E.05
Unified analytics
One reporting layer across every channel. See exactly how visibility, engagement, and conversions connect - no vanity metrics.
Cross-funnel · Measurement - E.06
Compounding returns
Each layer feeds the next. SEO lifts authority, authority lifts AI citations, better UX lifts conversion, and press lifts everything.

The eight nodes · inspected individually
Each node has its own roadmap - and at least two it compounds with.
You can hire one node and we'll deliver it as a focused engagement. But every node ships pre-wired to the other seven - same operator, same reporting rhythm, same pipeline metric. Compounding isn't an upsell. It's the architecture.

The operator layer · O.01
Eight nodes need one owner. Hire the owner.
Every engagement above runs under one operator, one roadmap, and one P&L. The fractional CMO sells that layer on its own: a senior Higglo operator who owns your marketing function - the plan, the budget, the vendors, the scoreboard - and engages the nodes only when the plan calls for them. No executive hire, no six-month ramp, no extra vendor to manage.
- A 90-day operating plan: which nodes run first, which wait, and what each is expected to return against your intake capacity or pipeline targets.
- Ownership of the marketing budget and every vendor in it - agencies, freelancers, platforms, and in-house hires held to one roadmap and one definition of a qualified inquiry.
- A weekly operating cadence with your leadership team, a monthly scoreboard read, and a quarterly roadmap and budget re-scope.
- Reporting owners, boards, and investors can act on: pipeline, cost per qualified inquiry, intake or demo conversion, payer-eligible volume.
ABA clinics and multi-site groups. You have vendors, maybe an in-house marketer, and no one whose job is the whole funnel from search to authorized hours. The operator owns it.
ABA and behavioral health software companies. Pipeline is stalling between founder-led sales and a marketing hire you're not ready to make. The operator runs demand generation against qualified demos and CAC payback.

We ship the technical updates, content improvements, and site changes that move qualified demand. Work lands in your repo, not a deck.
Weeks 3–8 - STEP 03

“Overall, Higglo Digital operates more like a technical partner than a vendor. We would recommend them to companies that value precision, stability, and measurable SEO progress over superficial deliverables.”

“I was impressed with their personal attention to detail and care for our business and goals.”
FAQ
What teams ask about search growth.
Do you run all eight disciplines, or can we start with one?
Either. The full integrated growth system is designed so SEO, GEO, digital PR, CRO, UX, web development, local SEO, and paid ads compound together - but every discipline can also run as a focused engagement and layer into the broader system later.
Do you offer a fractional CMO?
Yes. The fractional CMO is the operator layer of the system: one senior Higglo operator who owns your marketing roadmap, budget, vendors, and pipeline scoreboard on a monthly retainer, without a full-time executive hire. It runs on its own - managing the in-house team and partners you already have - or paired with whichever of the eight nodes the plan calls for. Built for ABA companies: ABA therapy providers, multi-site and PE-backed groups, and ABA software companies.
How does Higglo optimize for AI overviews and assistants?
Our GEO program aligns content, schema, and entity structure so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and AI overviews understand your brand and surface the most helpful evidence. PR placements feed source citations the assistants reference - so authority and citations compound.
Can you work alongside our in-house team or existing partners?
Yes. Higglo plugs in as an embedded partner, handling any combination of search, conversion, web, or PR work alongside your internal team or external specialists. We bring our operating rhythm; we don't demand you change yours.
What does reporting look like?
One monthly readout that ties channel work to qualified pipeline - not vanity metrics. You'll see visibility (SEO + local SEO + GEO), conversion (CRO + UX), authority (PR), and bought coverage (paid ads, at cost per qualified inquiry) against intake quality and booked consults. Slack + dashboard access in between.
How fast can we start?
Most engagements launch inside your current sprint cycle - usually within 2–3 weeks of signed scope. Custom web builds take longer to spin up; retainers can start within days.
