AI Search Visibility
People now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI for recommendations instead of scrolling results. Here's what actually affects whether you're the answer — and what's being sold to you that doesn't.
A complete, accurate Google Business Profile
the single biggest input; assistants read it because it's the most reliable source available
Consistent details everywhere you appear
conflicting information makes you a risky answer, so you don't get recommended
Real reviews, recent and steady
volume and recency are among the few quality signals an assistant can actually evaluate
Pages that answer one full question each
the format that gets quoted; a page that buries the answer doesn't get pulled
Structured data that says what you are
service, area served, hours, price range — machine-readable rather than implied
Mentions on sites that aren't yours
being described by third parties is what makes you verifiable rather than self-declared

Start with the uncomfortable part
"AI SEO" is currently the easiest thing in this industry to sell, because it's new, it sounds urgent, and almost nobody can check the claims. A lot of what's being charged for as a separate premium service is either the same local SEO work with a new label, or techniques nobody has evidence for yet.
So we'll be specific about what's real. AI assistants recommending local businesses don't have a private database of them. They lean on the same public signals the map pack does, plus whatever they can read on your pages. That means the work that makes you visible to AI overlaps almost entirely with the work that makes you visible in local search — which is good news, because it means you don't need to buy it twice.

What we won't sell you
A guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend you
Nobody can deliver this. There's no ranking dashboard, no submission form, and answers vary between users and change between model updates. Anyone guaranteeing a position in an AI answer is describing something that doesn't exist.
"llms.txt" as a paid deliverable
It's a proposed file for telling AI crawlers about your site. It takes about ten minutes, no major assistant has committed to using it, and it's being sold as a premium package. If you want one, we'll add it and not charge you for it as its own service.
A separate monthly fee for the same work
If your local SEO is being done properly, most of your AI visibility comes along with it. We'd rather tell you that than invoice the same activity twice under two names.

What is genuinely different
A few things do change how you write. AI answers favor pages that answer a question directly and completely, in plain language, near the top — rather than pages that build to a point. Comparisons and real numbers get quoted more than adjectives. And specific, checkable claims survive where vague ones get skipped.
There's also a real strategic shift: an AI answer often names two or three businesses and the searcher never sees a results page. Being one of the few named matters more than being on page one of ten. For a local business the path to being named runs through the profile, the reviews and the clarity of your pages — which is why we keep pointing back there instead of selling a new product.
How we work
Three things decide who gets the call.
Technical
Fast, secure and easy for Google to read on every phone.
Relevance
Pages that match what your customers actually search for.
Authority
Real reviews and clean listings that make you the trusted choice.
