AI search visibility for local business

Be the answer
when customers ask AI.

Your customers are asking ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for the best plumber, HVAC tech, electrician, or contractor in town. AI gives them one answer. Will it name your business?

The shift that already happened

Google rankings used to be the goal. Now AI gives one answer.

Half your customers don’t scroll a list of ten blue links anymore. They ask ChatGPT “who’s the best HVAC tech near me?” — and it names one business. Maybe two. The rest don’t exist in that conversation.

Most local businesses are invisible to AI search and don’t know it. AI engines recommend whoever the rest of the web vouches for — reviews, real mentions, consistent listings — and almost nobody has built that footprint on purpose. Fixing it is a different job from the SEO playbook of 2018.

How we’re different

Real fixes, not just findings.

Most agencies email you a 40-page audit and disappear. We do the audit, then sit down and ship the fixes ourselves — the review footprint and real local mentions AI engines actually trust, consistent listings on Google, Yelp, and the directories AI pulls from, and service pages that plainly answer what customers ask. You don’t need a developer. You don’t need a content team. You need this fixed.

Our method

The Visibility Loop

A five-step process that compounds month over month.

01

Audit.

We score how visible your business is across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for the queries that actually drive jobs.

02

Map.

We find the questions your customers are really asking AI — not the ones you wish they searched.

03

Fix.

Reviews, real local mentions, consistent listings, and pages AI can quote. We do the work ourselves so it actually ships.

04

Monitor.

We track citations weekly across all four major AI assistants so you know exactly when the needle moves.

05

Iterate.

AI search shifts every month. We adjust the strategy so the wins compound instead of fading.
