AI visibility for local business
When someone asks AI for the best business near them — does yours come up?
Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Google AI and Perplexity for recommendations. We fix the signals that put you on that list — the same ones that lift your Google Search and Maps rankings too.
Free, no-obligation audit · We show you exactly what’s holding you back.
You ask an AI assistant
It answers
- A competitor with strong signals
- Another well-optimized business
- Not your business — it can’t be found
Illustrative example. The names AI shows depend on the signals each business sends.
Being good isn’t the problem. Being findable is.
The way customers discover local businesses has shifted to AI — and the businesses with the clearest signals win the recommendation.
Search changed. Quietly.
Instead of scrolling ten blue links, people ask an AI assistant for one answer. The AI picks who to mention — and most local businesses never get considered.
AI reads signals, not vibes.
It decides from machine-readable signals: structured data, your Google Business Profile, reviews, consistent contact info. Weak or broken signals make a great business invisible.
Your competitor gets the call.
When the AI can only “see” one business in your category, that’s the one it recommends. Being excellent isn’t enough if the AI can’t tell.
The AI Answer Test
When someone asks AI for the best business near them — does your name come up?
It’s the first thing we do in every audit: we ask an AI assistant for a recommendation in your category and area, and we watch who it lists. If you’re missing — and a competitor isn’t — that gap is the whole story.
- ✓ Competitor A — clear schema, 200 reviews
- ✓ Competitor B — complete profile
- ✕ You — no readable signals to go on
- ✓ Competitor A
- ✓ Your business — now readable and recommendable
- ✓ Competitor B
We improve your odds of being recommended — AI results vary and are never guaranteed.
On the free audit call, we run this exact test on your real business — live.
What we actually fix
These signals decide whether AI can find and trust you — and they’re the same foundations that lift your traditional Google rankings. We get each one right, in plain English.
Structured data (schema)
Code that spells out who you are, what you do, and where — in a format AI and search engines read directly.
Without it, the AI has to guess. With it, it knows.
Google Business Profile
Your listing on Google — hours, services, category, photos, contact info — complete and accurate.
A major source AI and maps pull from when recommending local businesses.
Reviews
A steady, recent flow of genuine customer reviews and proper responses to them. We set up the automated system that keeps them coming — in a tool you control (ideally one you already use) — then it’s yours to run. Any tool fee is paid directly to that tool, never to us, and never marked up.
Volume and freshness signal a real, trusted, active business.
Local content
Clear, keyword-mapped pages about your services and service area, written so both people and machines understand them — built as part of your one-time Foundation Fix.
Gives AI and Google specific, location-aware reasons to recommend you.
Keywords & your website’s words
The words on your pages — titles, headings, and descriptions — mapped to what your customers actually search for in your town.
It’s how both AI and Google match you to the right question instead of skipping you.
Technical health
The behind-the-scenes plumbing: a readable site map, no broken links, fast and mobile-friendly pages — so AI crawlers and Google can actually read every page you have.
If they can’t crawl it, nothing else counts.
Listings & citations
Your name, address, and phone listed identically across the directories AI and search trust — Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, and the platforms specific to your industry.
Conflicting listings confuse the machines and split your reputation; we make them consistent.
Measurement you own
Google Search Console and Analytics set up in your own account, with a snapshot of where you start — so you can watch the work pay off in real numbers, not promises.
Free to run, and yours to keep.
It’s not either/or — you also get stronger classic SEO. The same structured data, Google Business Profile, reviews and local content that make AI recommend you also strengthen your rankings in regular Google Search and Maps. You show up whether a customer asks ChatGPT or just Googles it.
How it works
Three steps. It starts with a free audit — that’s the only thing this page is asking you to do.
Free Audit
We analyze your AI and search visibility against a competitor who’s already winning, and show you exactly where you’re losing customers. No cost, no obligation.
Foundation Fix
A one-time project that builds your complete local-SEO and AI foundation: keyword-mapped pages and on-page fixes (titles, headings, descriptions), technical fixes so AI crawlers and Google can read your whole site, valid structured data (schema), a complete Google Business Profile, consistent listings across the directories AI and search trust, an llms.txt file, foundational local pages, and an automated review-request system set up in a tool you control — plus Google Search Console and Analytics set up in your own account so you can see it working. All handed off, fully yours to run. You own everything; no lock-in. You also get a prioritized list of every other fix we find.
You Own It
When the Foundation Fix is done, it’s yours — no required retainer and no lock-in. The review automation runs in a tool you control: whether you keep it running is entirely your call, and any monthly tool fee is paid directly to that tool, never to us, and cancelable anytime. If you ever want it, we offer an optional tune-up — a periodic re-audit of what’s changed in AI and among your competitors — or we can run things for you. But you’re never required to. We set you up to own it.
What an audit looks like
Every audit benchmarks you against a real local competitor who’s already ranking — because the gap is the story. Below is an anonymized sample to show the format, not a specific business.
Questions owners ask us
Will this guarantee I show up in ChatGPT?
No — and anyone who promises that isn’t being honest. AI recommendations are probabilistic. What we do is fix the signals AI relies on, which meaningfully improves your odds of being found and recommended.
Do I have to sign up for a monthly plan?
No. The Foundation Fix is a one-time project and you own everything we set up — including the review system, which runs on its own. We offer an optional tune-up, or we can run things for you if you ask, but there’s no required retainer and no lock-in. We set you up to own it.
Are there any ongoing costs?
The one-time Foundation Fix is the only thing you pay us. The review automation runs in a tool you control — ideally one you already use, like your booking software. If a separate tool is needed, it’s a low monthly fee paid directly to that tool, never to us, never marked up, and you can cancel anytime.
Do I need a new website?
Usually not. Most of the work happens on top of what you already have — structured data, your Google Business Profile, reviews and a few content improvements. If your current site actively blocks AI from reading it, we’ll tell you in the audit.
Does this help with regular Google SEO too?
Yes — the Foundation Fix is a complete local-SEO foundation, not just AI. It includes the core traditional-SEO work: keyword research, on-page optimization (titles, headings, descriptions), technical fixes (site map, crawlability, mobile), consistent listings and citations, plus Google Search Console and Analytics so you can measure it. AI visibility and Google/Maps rankings run on the same signals — we fix them once, and both improve.
Is this AI optimization or regular SEO?
Both — and that’s the point. They run on the same foundation: keyword-mapped pages, structured data, a complete Google profile, clean technical health, consistent listings, and steady reviews. One Foundation Fix strengthens how you show up in AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI) and in regular Google Search and Maps.
How will I know it’s working?
We set up Google Search Console and Analytics in your own account and take a baseline snapshot at the start, so you can watch real numbers — impressions, clicks, and search positions — improve over the following weeks. You own that data; you’re never dependent on us to see your progress.
How long does it take?
The free audit is quick. The foundation fix is typically a short one-time project. Visibility then improves over the following weeks as AI assistants and search engines re-read your updated signals.
Can’t I just pay to appear in AI results?
No. There is no paid placement in AI assistant recommendations — that doesn’t exist. The only durable way in is to send strong, accurate, machine-readable signals, which is exactly what we build.
Is the audit really free?
Yes. The audit is the door-opener: we show you where you stand against a competitor who’s winning. If you want us to fix the gaps, that’s the paid one-time Foundation Fix, which you then own — no required monthly retainer and no lock-in.
I’m not technical — is this for me?
Especially for you. We handle the technical signals and report everything in plain business language: what’s costing you customers and what we’ll do about it.
