Get named when buyers ask AI who to call.

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI who to hire, a handful of businesses get named. We build the facts, sources and pages that make your business one of them, and we track it every month.

The problem

Why does AI recommend my competitors instead of me?

Someone asking an AI who to call has usually finished comparing. Whoever it names gets the call. It goes wrong in three ways.

  1. 01

    It doesn't know you, or it confuses you with someone else.

    Tell me about [Your Business] in Cypress.

    I couldn't find a business by that name in Cypress. There is a [similar name] in another state.

    Not your business
  2. 02

    It knows you, but what it says is out of date or wrong.

    Is [Your Business] open on Saturdays?

    You may have to wait until Monday. They appear to be closed on weekends.

    Not your hours
  3. 03

    It knows you and still names somebody else.

    Who should I call for a bathroom remodel in Cypress?

    Based on reviews and listings, I'd suggest Competitor A, Competitor B and Competitor C.

    Not your lead

Not your business

How it works

How we make your business the answer.

An AI answering a buying question leans on sources it trusts. We make sure those sources describe you accurately and back you up.

  • Make your details agree everywhere an AI reads them: your site, your Google Business Profile and your listings.
  • Publish pages that answer the exact questions buyers ask, with the reviews and credentials an AI needs to pick you.
  • Track what ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews say about you every month, and which sources they use.

Example report: 40 buyer questions, named in 28.

What we do

The work behind getting named.

Let the AI crawlers in

We check that GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google can reach your pages. Robots rules and firewalls block them more often than owners expect.

Make your facts agree

Hours, address, phone, services and service areas need to match on your site, your Business Profile and every listing. When they don't, an AI guesses.

Get backed up by other sites

An AI trusts what other sites say about you more than what you say. We get you described accurately on the directories, review sites and local sources it reads.

Answer the questions buyers ask

AI engines turn a question into their own searches and answer from the results. We write pages that answer those searches plainly.

Structured data

LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ markup so the facts about you are stated in a format machines read without guessing.

Reviews that say what you do

Reviews that mention the service and the neighborhood give an AI specific reasons to name you for that search.

Reporting

What we track every month.

The same numbers every month, so you can see what moved and what the next month's work is aimed at.

How do I show up in ChatGPT?

ChatGPT has to be able to reach your pages, find your details saying the same thing everywhere, find other sites backing you up, and find a page that answers the question being asked. We work on all four.

Is this GEO or AEO?

Generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO) and AI search optimization all describe the same job: getting a business named and cited in answers that AI tools write.

Is this different from regular SEO?

It adds a layer on top of it. The SEO basics still have to be in place, because AI engines search the web and read the same pages Google ranks. What changes is what we measure and which sources we work on.

Do I need a page for every question someone might ask?

No. AI engines turn a question into one or two searches of their own. We find those searches and write for them, which usually means improving the pages you already have.

How fast does it work?

Fixes like crawler access and matching details can change answers within weeks. Getting named for competitive questions takes longer and depends on your market, which is why we track it monthly instead of promising a date.
