For local businesses
Be the business AI recommends in your city.
“When someone asks ChatGPT for the best one in town, it should say us.”
Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI who to call, and the answer names two or three businesses. We get you into that answer and keep you there. Our team ships the site fixes and writes the pages, and the tracking keeps running while you run the shop.
The problem
The answer names three businesses. You are not one of them.
Five ways you lose customers to AI answers today, without ever finding out.
A competitor with worse reviews gets named
Someone asks Gemini for an emergency plumber in your city and gets three names. One of them has half your reviews and a lower rating. Engines name whichever businesses they can read and corroborate, and yours is not yet one of them.
The engine quotes a directory, and the directory picks your rival
The engine builds its answer out of a “best in town” listicle, a couple of review pages, and a local thread on Reddit. You do not own any of them, and whichever business those pages put first is the one that gets named.
You never see the conversation
No search console logs it, no missed call marks it, and “how did you hear about us” never turns it up. Someone asked, the engine answered, and the customer booked elsewhere, in a chat window you will never open.
You paid for SEO and a site AI cannot read
Your site ranks. It also blocks AI crawlers in robots.txt and hides its text behind scripts. Nowhere does it say which neighborhoods you serve. Page one on Google does not get you into an answer that names three businesses.
It lands on you, and the last dashboard did not help
You are the one running the business, and the last agency sold you a login you opened twice. The work that would put you in an answer sits behind payroll, the schedule, and the customer waiting on a callback. It was not done last month either.
Why now
Your customers already switched. Other people’s research shows it.
45%
of US consumers have asked an AI tool for a local business recommendation
Up from 6% the year before. ChatGPT first, Google AI Mode second.
1.2%
of business locations get recommended by ChatGPT
The same brands sit in Google’s local 3-pack 35.9% of the time.
68%
of local business searches show an AI Overview
540 searches across six local trades in three US cities. The local pack showed in 39%.
28.5%
of local pack businesses are missing from Google AI Mode for the same search
1,120 searches, seven industries, 13 US cities. Watch the map pack alone and you miss about a third of your rivals.
First, the site
We fix your site so the engines can read it.
The free audit runs 21 checks on your site: whether the 20 AI crawlers we track are allowed in, whether the text is in the page or drawn in by scripts, whether it says anything an engine can quote. Nobody was building sites for this two years ago.
Then we fix it. Our team ships the changes to your home, service, and location pages, rather than handing you a PDF of recommendations. You end up with a site the engines can read, and a before-and-after score to prove it.
- Crawler access for 20 AI bots, checked and opened
- Pages that say what you do, where, and for whom
- Sitemap, structured data, and llms.txt in place
Then, the answers
We write the answers to the questions your customers ask, and publish them.
Nobody asks an AI for “dentist”. They ask who does same-day crowns in Plano and takes their insurance. We research the questions people in your area ask, then write the pages that answer them: prices, timelines, what to expect, which neighborhoods you cover.
Every month the platform finds the question you are losing worst and drafts the answer; a person on our team edits it, then we publish it on your site. The writing stays with us, from the first draft to the published page.
- Questions pulled from real search demand in your city
- Written by us and checked by a person before it goes on your site
- Each one aimed at a question you are losing
Always, the tracking
We track what each engine answers in your area, and who it names instead of you.
Every day the platform puts your customers’ questions to every major AI engine, for your city, and writes down who got named, how early, and which sources the answer cited. When Google AI Mode shows a local pack, we record every business in it, with its rating and review count, and flag the rivals you are not tracking yet.
The conversation you were missing ends up on the record: your mention rate per engine, and your share of voice against the businesses that keep getting named. You also see which Reddit threads, directories, and review sites the engines trust in your category. Once a month we walk you through it, next to the list of what we shipped.
Sold versus done
What you were sold, and what we do instead
What you were sold | What we do |
|---|---|
| Rankings for keywords nobody types into ChatGPT. | Track what your customers ask AI in your city, every day. |
| A website that looks great and says nothing an engine can quote. | Fix your site so every major AI engine can read and cite it. |
| A dashboard login, a score, and “let us know if you have questions”. | Write and publish the answers on your site, checked by a person. |
| Blog posts titled “5 tips for choosing a dentist” that nobody asked for. | One monthly call: what moved, who got named, what ships next. |

Questions from owners
What local business owners ask us first
We already pay for SEO. Is this the same thing?
No, and it does not replace it. SEO earns you a rank in a list of links; GEO earns you a place in an answer that only names a few. They share a foundation, a site the crawlers can read and pages that say something specific, so the fixes we ship help your Google rankings too. If your SEO agency is doing good work, we work alongside them.
What actually changes on my website?
Technical fixes first: crawler access, text that is in the page rather than loaded by scripts, and the files AI engines read to find their way around your site. Then content: service and location pages rewritten to say what you do, where, and for whom, plus new pages that answer the questions people in your area ask. We make the changes on your site ourselves, so the to-do list stays with us.
How long before an AI engine starts naming us?
Nobody honest gives you a date, and the parts move at different speeds. The site fixes go live in the first weeks and get recrawled soon after. The service, location, and question pages we publish have to be found and read before an engine will quote them, which takes longer. The slowest part is the one we do not control: the directories, review sites, and local threads the engines lean on for your trade update only on their own schedule. From the first month you watch your mention rate for your city move engine by engine, beside the list of what we shipped.
How do you know it is working when I cannot see the conversations?
The platform asks the engines your customers’ questions every day, for your city, and records every answer. From that we measure your mention rate, your share of voice against the businesses the engines name instead of you, how early in the answer you appear, and which sources the engines cited. We record Google AI Mode’s local pack business by business, with ratings and review counts. That is the report you get each month.
What do I have to do, and what does it cost?
You give us one onboarding call, access to your website and analytics, and a yes on the plan we propose. After that, a monthly call. Managed GEO starts at $990 a month, and the final scope depends on how many questions and competitors we track, so it is set after the free audit.
