Your next customer just asked AI who to call.
Was your name in the answer?
Every day, ChatGPT, Google's AI and Perplexity answer "best {plumber / broker / dentist} near me" with two or three names — and the phone rings for those businesses. If yours isn't one of them, you lose the job without ever knowing it existed.
No call. No card. Real model outputs, timestamped.

- Harbor Point Mortgage — fast pre-approvals
- BlueDoor Home Loans — wide loan menu

The honest counterweight: ~84% of US consumers still use Google daily for local searches. This isn't "Google is dead." It's worse in a quieter way: Google's own results are now AI-composed too — AI Overviews write the answer either way. Visibility now means being the business the answer names, in both channels.
Invisible businesses don't get a warning. They just get quiet months.
You never see the leads you lose
When AI answers "who should I call?", the customer calls that name. There's no bounced visit in your analytics, no missed call, no lost-deal note in your CRM. The job simply happens — at someone else's shop. You can't feel this leak. You can only measure it.
There is no page two anymore
Search gave you ten blue links and a fighting chance. AI gives your customer two or three names, presented as the answer. Either you're in that answer set, or — for that customer, on that day — you don't exist.
Every month you wait, their moat deepens
The businesses AI names get the calls → more reviews → more citations → named even more. Share of voice compounds like interest. In our audits, one competitor routinely absorbs half or more of all AI recommendations in a market. The later you start, the more that curve works against you.
We put your invisibility on paper. Then we hand you the fix.
Not a dashboard. Not a vibe. 100+ real, timestamped AI answers about your business — every business AI recommends instead of you, the exact words AI uses about you, whether your own website blocks AI from reading it, and the domains feeding the answers where your competitor is present and you are not.
Pages shown are from a demonstration report for a fictitious business, stamped SAMPLE — SIMULATED DATA. Your report contains only real, timestamped model outputs.
Visibility is an input problem. Inputs can be fixed.
AI systems name businesses they can verify: structured data that parses, consistent name-address-phone everywhere they read, presence on the exact sources they cite, reviews that keep coming. Every one of those is work you can do — or have done. The monthly re-audit runs the identical 20 questions against the identical systems, so when your score moves, it's the world changing, not the ruler.
- →Month 1: baseline + the 30-day Foundation fixes (schema, crawler access, llms.txt, GBP)
- →Months 2–3: presence built on the gap domains AI actually cites in your market
- →Every month: same battery, fresh score, delta on the cover of your report
No guaranteed rankings or mentions — anyone promising those is guessing. What we commit to: measured movement, documented work, timestamped receipts.

We ask the AI tools your customers use the questions they actually ask, and show you the answers — word for word. You see who's getting recommended in your market, and whether it's you.

What you get: documented methodology, timestamped before/after samples, and a monthly work log. Fees reflect documented fair market value for services rendered and are independent of any referral relationship.
Any local business customers search for.
If people ask "who's the best ___ near me," the audit works for you — dentists, med spas, law firms, accountants, gyms, restaurants. Two industries get a dedicated playbook:
Mortgage & real estate →
When a buyer asks AI who can do their loan, two or three names come back. Be one of them — compliantly.
Home services →
"Emergency AC repair, open now." If the answer skips you, the phone never rings — and you never know it happened.
Every other local business →
The free live scan runs on any category in any city. Start there — it tells you in 30 seconds whether this is worth your money.

The full work list — what to do yourself and what agencies charge for.
Is this SEO?
It overlaps but it is not the same job. SEO optimizes for ranked links. We optimize for being named in the answer — which depends on structured data, entity consistency, reviews, and presence on the specific sources AI systems cite. Your SEO keeps mattering; this is the layer on top of it.
Do you guarantee results?
No — and treat any agency that does as a red flag. AI answers vary by time, phrasing, and model version. What we commit to: a documented methodology, the work log to prove it, and timestamped before/after visibility samples every month.
What’s free and what’s paid?
The live preliminary scan is free — real queries, real answers, while you watch. The full report (20 customer questions across the major AI systems — 100+ timestamped answers — with your Visibility Score, competitor share of voice, website AI-readiness check, citation gap table, and a 30/60/90-day plan) is $249 one-time, or $99/mo tracked monthly — $79/mo on annual. Done-for-you plans are separate.
My customers are older — do they really ask AI?
Adoption skews younger, but 37% of consumers now start searches with AI (Search Engine Land) and Google now composes AI answers on top of regular searches — your customers see AI-written recommendations even when they only ever "google it."
We’re national / online, not tied to one city — does this work?
Yes. Pick Nationwide / online on the scan form and the battery drops the geography: "best online mortgage lender", "is [your brand] legit", "which [category] do people actually recommend" — the questions national customers ask. Same report, same depth (true share of voice, AI-readiness check, citation gap table, action plan), same price.
What do I have to do?
For Foundation: grant Google Business Profile manager access and website access, then approve our changes. For Recommended: read a 2-page report once a month. That is the whole ask.
