AI search visibility for local businesses
Get your business recommended when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI for a tow truck, a vet or a plumber near them. Done for you, every month.
When someone asks ChatGPT for a tow truck near them, do you come up?
More of your customers are skipping the search results and just asking. "Who's a good vet near me that's open Saturday?" "Best RV repair shop within 30 miles?" ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews answer with a short list of businesses, usually three to five names.
If you're not on that list, that customer never sees you. There is no page two to scroll to.
We get your business onto that list. It's one piece of our done-for-you monthly marketing package, and you can also get it on its own.
How do AI assistants decide which businesses to recommend?
They look for a business they can describe with confidence. In plain terms, that means:
- A complete, active Google Business Profile with the right hours, services, service area and photos
- Reviews that keep coming in, and replies to them
- The same name, address and phone everywhere: your website, Google, Yelp, Facebook and industry directories
- A website that clearly says what you do, where and for whom, in plain sentences an AI can quote
- Other sites mentioning you: local news, associations, suppliers, community groups
Most local businesses have gaps in two or three of these. Those gaps are often why a competitor down the road gets named and you don't.
What do we do each month?
Fix the basics
We clean up your Google Business Profile, your listings across the web and your website, so every source tells the same story about who you are, what you do and where you work.
Answer the questions people ask
We add plain-English pages and FAQ answers to your site for the questions customers actually ask an AI: hours, service area, emergency availability, what a visit or a job involves, and prices if you're comfortable sharing them. Short, direct and easy to quote.
Grow your reviews
Reviews are one of the strongest signals AI assistants use. Our review requests by text and email (part of the package) keep fresh reviews coming in after every job.
Check where you show up
Every month we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google the questions your customers ask, the way they ask them, and record whether you get mentioned. You see it in your monthly report, in plain English: where you showed up, where you didn't, and what we're doing about it.
Under the hood: structured data, an llms.txt file and clean site code, so AI tools can read your site without guessing.
Who is this for?
Local service businesses where customers choose fast: towing, RV repair, veterinary clinics, barbershops, auto repair, HVAC and plumbing, and similar businesses that live on calls and booked jobs.
How we price
It's included in our full monthly package, or available on its own. Pricing depends on your market and scope, and your plan comes with a fixed monthly price. Month-to-month, cancel with 30 days' notice.

FAQ
Is this different from regular SEO? Related, but not the same. SEO is about ranking in Google's results. AI search visibility is about getting named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overview for a recommendation. The groundwork overlaps, so we handle both in the same package.
Do people really use ChatGPT to find local businesses? A growing number do, especially for "who should I call" questions, and Google shows AI answers at the top of many local searches. The work that gets you recommended by AI also helps you on Google.
How long until ChatGPT mentions my business? It depends on your market and what's missing today. Listings and website fixes happen in the first weeks; showing up in AI answers usually takes a few months of steady work. Anyone who promises a date is guessing.
Do I need a new website for this? Not always. If your site is fast and clear, we work with it. If it isn't, we'll tell you, and a new site is part of our package.
Can I get this without the rest of the package? Yes. It works best alongside review growth and Google Business Profile work, so we'll tell you what we'd pair it with.
What does it cost? It depends on your market and scope. Your plan comes with a fixed monthly price, month-to-month, cancel with 30 days' notice. Start with the free marketing check: a written report, usually in under an hour. Reply and we email you a written plan, no call required.
