seo for the music industry.

we get music businesses found on Google: record labels, recording studios, venues, event and booking companies, artists, producers and music brands. we rebuild what Google reads on your site, line up your business profile and listings, set the facts Google keeps on your name, and measure every change in your own Search Console. it is the same work Google's AI answers and ChatGPT read from.

every fix traces to the search engine's own published guidance, linked. the ten fixes for one site are $2,000, once, published. 17 client properties are live and linked from the STUDIORAINE homepage.

what we do for music.

eight jobs, in the order they move a music business up in search. each one is something Google, Bing or OpenAI documents itself, and the report shows which ones your site is missing before you pay for anything.

a site google can read

for every music business with a website.

most music sites are photos, players and embeds with almost no words on them. Google ranks text it can read, so every main page gets a real heading, plain sentences and real links, rendered on the server and fast on a phone.

  • pages rendered on the server, fast on a phone
  • a real heading and plain sentences on every main page
  • one address per page, broken pages fixed or redirected
  • a sitemap with the real date each page changed

titles in the buyer's words

for every page that should be found.

every page hands a search engine two lines: a title and a description. they become the headline and the sentence under it in a result. we write each one in the words your buyers actually type, and you approve every one.

  • a title and a description on every page
  • the heading, the title and the description saying the same thing
  • the city in plain text wherever you serve one

local search for rooms

for recording studios, venues, rehearsal rooms and music schools.

search for a studio or a venue near you and Google shows a map with three businesses near the top. that box reads the Google Business Profile, so we set it up properly and line the same facts up everywhere else people look.

  • the Google Business Profile: categories, services, hours, photos
  • Bing Places and Apple Business to match
  • the same name and phone number on every listing

structured data

for every page with something to say.

a short block of code on each page that tells machines what the page is in their own language: this is a label, a studio, an artist, a show, a release. Google uses it to understand the page and the business behind it.

  • Organization or LocalBusiness for the company
  • MusicGroup and Person for the artists
  • Event for shows, Product and Offer for what you sell

the facts google keeps on you

for artists, producers, engineers and labels.

Google keeps a record of who you are. that record fills the knowledge panel beside your name and it is what the AI answers repeat. we find what it holds, correct what is wrong and connect your official profiles to it.

  • what Google holds on your name, written down
  • your site, streaming and social profiles connected to it
  • Wikidata and MusicBrainz where they apply

roster and release pages

for record labels, publishers and managers.

people search for the artist and the record, not the label. a page for every artist and every release, with the credits and the identifiers on it, gives Google something to rank for every name on the roster and every title in the catalog.

  • a page per artist and per release
  • credits, ISRC and UPC on the release page
  • the whole roster reachable from one place

ready for AI answers

for every music business that wants to be named.

Google says its AI answers rest on the same signals as search, and ChatGPT and Copilot read the web through their own crawlers. we make sure each one can reach you and finds the answer written on the page, not hidden behind a click. the full service is AI search optimization.

  • Googlebot, Bingbot and OAI-SearchBot let in
  • answers written out on the page, never hidden in tabs
  • Bing told about every change the day it ships, through IndexNow

measured where you can see it

for every client, from the first week.

Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools are set up in your name, so the searches you show up for and the clicks they send are numbers you read yourself, every month, not a report you have to take on trust.

  • Google Search Console in your name
  • Bing Webmaster Tools in your name
  • the numbers before the work, written down, to measure against

built this way, live.

  • structured data on every page.

  • beat previews play on every product page before anyone buys.

how it runs.

  1. the report, before we talk

    a private page about your business: what Google and the AI tools say about you today, your site's numbers, and the fixes in order, every claim linked to the official guide it comes from. it is built before the first call.
  2. the scope

    the ten fixes for one act or one room, the site remade and the Google profile included, are the published package on the AI search page, $2,000, once. the rest of the work on this page, and any label, roster or company with several sites, goes in a written scope with every property, every job and the number, before anything starts.
  3. the fixes

    we do the work on the site and the listings. you approve every word before it goes live, and every account is opened in your name.
  4. measured monthly

    Search Console and Bing show the searches and the clicks. Google's own guide says a change can take from a few hours to several months to show in search, so the numbers are read every month against the ones written down on day one.

not a fit if

  • you want links bought in bulk or a page made for every keyword. Google's spam policies treat both as spam, and they can take a site out of results.
  • you want paid ads managed. this is organic search: the results nobody pays for.
  • the site cannot be changed. most of this work is on the site itself, and the web development page covers a rebuild.

the work it connects to.

AI search
the same base, plus what ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude and Perplexity each read.
web development
a site built for search from the first line of code.
knowledge panels
the box Google shows beside your name.

more about the studio

questions.

who does SEO for the music industry?

studios and agencies that specialise in music, and Studio Raine is one: SEO for record labels, recording studios, venues, artists, producers and music brands, done together with the AI search and the website work it depends on. based in New York, working everywhere. the firms ChatGPT named for it, side by side with Studio Raine.

what does SEO for a music business cost?

the ten fixes for one act or one room are $2,000, once: the AI search package, the site remade and the Google profile included. the rest of the work here (the other listings, the facts Google keeps on your name, roster and release pages) and any label, roster or company with several sites is quoted in a written scope, before anything starts.

is SEO different from AI search optimization?

the base is the same. Google says its AI answers rest on the same signals as search, so a site Google can read and trust is the base for both. AI search adds what each assistant reads on its own: crawler access for ChatGPT and Bing, answers written out on the page, and a record of what each one says about you.

how long does SEO take to work?

the fixes take days. Google's own guide says a change can take from a few hours to several months to show in search, so we write down your numbers on day one and read them in Search Console every month.

do you do SEO for record labels?

yes. the label's own name is rarely what people search, so the work is a page for every artist and every release, credits and identifiers on each, the roster linked from one place, and the facts Google keeps on each artist corrected and connected.

do you do local SEO for recording studios and venues?

yes. the Google Business Profile set up properly, Bing Places and Apple Business to match, the same name and phone everywhere, the city in plain text on the site, and the structured data that says this is a studio or a venue and where it is.

do you buy links?

no. Google's spam policies treat bought links as link spam. what we build is real: the listings, profiles and partner pages that already know you, pointing at the right page.

who is behind Studio Raine?

Studio Raine was founded by Raine, an ai engineer and a musician, with ai engineering at Google, Meta, Microsoft and Scale AI and a working catalog on the music side. the studio is in New York City and works for labels, studios, producers, engineers and artists everywhere.
