Your customers aren't typing keywords into Google anymore. They're opening ChatGPT and asking "Who's the best dentist near me?" AI gives them one or two names. They call those businesses. Done. If you're not the name AI recommends, you don't exist to those customers.
The phone isn't ringing like it used to. Google Ads cost more and deliver less. You've tried SEO, maybe paid an agency or two. Spent thousands. And you still can't tell what's actually working.
You're not bad at marketing. The channel shifted under your feet and nobody told you.
The Difference
Google Ads get more expensive every year. AI visibility doesn't cost per click. Once you're positioned, you stay positioned.
Over 90% of local businesses have zero AI visibility. This is Google in the early 2000s. The first one in wins.
When someone asks AI for a recommendation, they have already decided to buy. They are asking who to call, not browsing.
If you have an SEO agency, great. We handle a completely different channel with no overlap, and the work lifts your traditional SEO too.
This isn't SEO. This isn't ads.
70%+ of ChatGPT's local business data comes from Foursquare. Not your website. Not Google. Foursquare, Bing Places, Apple Maps, and directories that most SEO agencies completely ignore.
We ran 200+ queries asking AI to recommend local businesses. The ones that showed up had strong presence on AI data sources. Schema markup. Consistent citations. Active review profiles.
Aspen Dental showed 0% AI visibility in our audit. This isn't about how big you are. It's about whether you've optimized for AI specifically.
Results
How It Works
Not guesswork. A structured system for predictable AI visibility.
We check every major AI platform. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and traditional search. You'll see exactly where you stand and what's broken.
Schema markup so AI can read your site. Directory listings on the platforms AI pulls from (70%+ of ChatGPT local results come from Foursquare). GBP optimization. FAQ content.
Monthly re-audits, citation monitoring, GBP management, content updates, and ranking reports. AI search changes fast. We stay on top of it.
Solutions
We test your business across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and traditional search. You get a clear picture of where you show up and where you don't.
GBP signals account for 32% of all map pack ranking factors. We optimize your categories, attributes, Q&A, and posts.
This is how AI reads your website. Without LocalBusiness, FAQPage, and Service schema, AI platforms skip over you.
Businesses with consistent citations perform up to 18x stronger in local search. We build and maintain your listings across directories that feed AI.
Review signals grew from 16% to 20% of local ranking factors. 88% of consumers choose businesses that respond to all reviews.
Every month you see exactly what changed, where you rank on AI platforms, and what we're doing next. Plain English.
No long-term contracts. No setup fees. No hidden charges.
If you don't see meaningful improvement by month 2, we'll have an honest conversation. If it's not a fit, you leave. No hassle.
We'd rather keep you with results than trap you with a contract.
Most agencies were fighting for the same crowded Google channels. We're positioning you on a channel where your competitors literally aren't showing up yet. You'll see your first progress report at Day 30, and it shows exactly where you rank on every AI platform, before and after.
Setup takes 2 to 3 weeks. Most clients see visibility improvements within 30 days. Bright Smile Dental went from position 17.6 to 4.8 in their first month.
Open ChatGPT right now. Type "best [your service] in [your city]." If you're not listed, that's the problem. Millions of people are doing exactly that search every day. 70%+ of ChatGPT's local data comes from Foursquare. Not Google.
Good. Keep them. We don't do traditional SEO. We optimize for AI search, which feeds from different data sources. Your SEO company handles Google. We handle ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Zero overlap.
Right now, over 90% of local businesses have zero AI visibility. The window is open. But it won't stay open. The businesses that move first lock in their position.
No. Month to month. If we're not delivering results, you can leave. We'd rather keep you with results than trap you with a contract.
