Most businesses are invisible to the systems doing the recommending.

When locals ask ChatGPT or Google for a _ near them, they don't see you. Not because you're bad — because you're hidden. You get a polished visibility report — and we fix what it flags in 48–72 hours.

01 / The Problem

Buyers don't just Google anymore.

ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews now answer local search questions directly:

"best contractor near me"
"top-rated salon in [city]"
"who should I call for [service]"

The businesses that come up in those answers aren't there by accident. They have the right structured data, consistent directory listings, and active review signals. Most local businesses have none of that in place.

6%

of consumers now use AI tools to find local businesses — up from just 6% one year ago.

01

Most local businesses have no LocalBusiness schema on their site

02

Inconsistent name, address, and phone across directories gets you demoted

03

AI tools weight review signals — thin reviews mean low visibility

02 / The Research

This isn't a trend. It's already the default.

03 / What We Audit — Free

Six areas. Scored. Delivered as a branded report.

01

Google Business Profile

The single highest-weighted signal AI tools check.

AI tools cross-reference your GBP for business type, address, hours, photos, and review activity before making a recommendation. An unclaimed, thin, or inactive profile is the most common reason businesses don't surface.

02

Schema & Structured Data

The machine-readable code on your website that AI parses before anything else.

We check whether LocalBusiness schema is present in your website's code, complete, and the right type for your industry. FAQPage, review, and service markup all contribute to how confidently AI tools describe what you do.

03

AI Directory Presence

Where you show up across the sources AI actually pulls from.

Yelp, BBB, and the vertical-specific platforms relevant to your industry — Houzz, Angi, The Knot, Healthgrades, and others. Missing from those = missing from the answer.

04

NAP Consistency

Conflicting name, address, or phone data quietly demotes you.

AI tools demote conflicting signals. A single mismatch on Yelp or BBB is enough to lower your confidence score across every assistant.

05

Review Signals

Active review ecosystems beat large-but-dormant ones.

Volume, recency, response rate, and distribution across platforms. AI tools factor in whether the owner responds — not just whether reviews exist.

06

Website Foundation

If AI crawlers can't read your site, you don't exist to them.

Heading structure, FAQ content, page speed, HTTPS, and robots.txt. A too-restrictive robots.txt is one of the most common reasons a business is invisible to AI tools.

Scored. Benchmarked against local competitors. Fix list in plain English — no jargon.

04 / Real Audit Example

What a real audit looks like.

What Was Wrong
  • Google Business Profile unclaimed — 5 reviews, no owner activity, a 1-star from 2017 unanswered for 9 years
  • No LocalBusiness schema — only generic WordPress defaults
  • CSLB contractor licenses verified externally, never mentioned on the site
  • Not listed on Angi or Thumbtack — both cited regularly by AI tools for contractor queries
What Was Fixed
  • GBP claimed, photos uploaded, reviews responded to
  • GeneralContractor schema built with license numbers, service area, and hours
  • Angi and Thumbtack listings created
  • FAQPage schema added; homepage title and meta updated

    The Delivery

    Written change log delivered — every fix documented so you know exactly what changed and where.

06 / What The Fix Costs

$500. Flat. Done in 48–72 hours.

Once the audit is done, you can hire us to fix everything it flags. One flat fee. No retainer. The fix is delivered in 48–72 hours — but ranking lift compounds in the weeks after, as AI tools re-crawl and re-index.

What $500 includes
  • LocalBusiness schema

    Built or repaired directly on your website for your industry

  • Profiles claimed & populated

    GBP, Yelp, BBB, vertical directories

  • NAP cleaned across platforms

    Name, address, phone — consistent everywhere

  • Review schema markup

    Added to your website so your existing reviews are readable by AI — and count toward recommendations

  • Website foundation fixes

    Schema, FAQ, headings, robots.txt, page basics

  • Google Search Console setup & sitemap submission

    We set it up and submit your sitemap so Google's crawlers know exactly what pages exist and can index them (this is how you get on Google's radar in the first place)

  • 48–72h delivery

    One specialist, no handoffs, written change log

What it doesn't include

Instant rankings. AI tools have to re-crawl and re-index your business before the fixes show up in their answers. We deliver the foundation in 48–72 hours — visibility lift follows.

Typical timing we see
Google AI Overviews / local pack
~1–4 weeks
Claude / ChatGPT search
~4–8 weeks, sometimes longer

Bottom line: the fix is fast, the visibility builds. Once AI tools re-crawl, you're set up to win the answer — not chasing it.

05 / The ROI Case

Renting visibility vs. owning it.

Ads stop the moment you stop paying. AI visibility is structural — fix the signals once and they keep working as AI tools re-crawl and re-index your business.
