Most businesses are invisible to the systems doing the recommending.

People ask AI for a _ — not just "near me," but who to trust, who specializes in their situation, who other people actually recommend.

Those answers pull from signals most local businesses aren't sending. Not because you're bad at what you do. Because you're not set up to be found this way.

01 / The Problem

Buyers don't just Google anymore.

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

"best salon if you have damaged hair"
"best roofer if I need work done fast"
"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. SEO won't get it there. This is a different problem.

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.

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.

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 are 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

06 / The Deliverable

You don't write
a word.

For every platform that matters to your business (Google Business Profile, Yelp, BBB, and the directories specific to your category), we write the complete profile content. Business descriptions, services, Q&A pairs, specialties. Everything complete. Everything specific to your business. You log in and paste it in. Done in 30–45 minutes across all platforms.

Everything is delivered as a formatted, editable document. Read it over, adjust any section to match your preferences, then publish. No approvals process, no waiting on us.

Why it works for AI visibility

AI tools don't browse your website the way a person does. They read the platforms they trust: GBP, Yelp, BBB, and vertical directories. They cite from what they find there. A profile with a complete description, populated service fields, and real Q&A content is one they can confidently read and recommend. An empty or vague one is one they skip.

One generic description copy-pasted to every platform is also a signal. The wrong kind. Each profile gets content written for how that specific platform is structured, and written consistently across all of them. AI tools that see the same business described accurately across multiple trusted sources treat that as a stronger, more reliable recommendation.

Written in your voice
Sounds like you.
Not a template.

Before a word is written, we build a voice profile from your existing presence: your website, your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and how you already describe your work. A contractor who's been operating since 1994 and specializes in custom tile reads differently than a general remodeler. A family-owned restaurant reads differently than a fast-casual chain. Those differences get captured and carried into every profile.

AI tools can distinguish between copy that sounds like a real business and content that sounds like it was generated and pasted in bulk. Specific, authentic descriptions perform as a stronger signal. That's what gets written here: content that could only be about your business, in the language your customers already use. The more specific the description, the more specific the query it answers. That's how you stop being invisible to someone who's looking for exactly what you do.

AI Overviews doesn't favor the closest business. Proximity has near-zero correlation with which businesses appear. Your competitor three blocks away has no built-in advantage. The one with stronger signals does.

Monthly Intel Report

Your competitors don't
know you're watching.

Every month you receive a branded competitive briefing for your local market — ten competitors tracked across five platforms. Named threats with specifics. Opportunities they've left open. One prioritized action.

  • Side-by-side competitor table: reviews, GBP posts, photos, and ratings for all 10
  • Named threats with specifics — dollar amounts, promotion dates, post volumes
  • One prioritized action each month with step-by-step instructions

Different from SEO. Structural, not ongoing.

"A Google Ads agency charges $1,500–2,000/month in management fees. A social media agency charges about the same. This is a one-time $500 fix so you show up when someone asks ChatGPT who to call, and $250/month to stay ahead of every competitor in your market."

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.
