AI Search Optimization

Get named when customers
ask AI instead of Google

When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI who to call in Port Huron, the answer names two or three businesses. We do the work that puts you in that answer, and we show you every month whether it is working.

What is answer engine optimization?

Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of getting your business named when a customer asks an AI assistant a question instead of running a search. A search results page shows ten businesses. An AI answer names two or three. Being on page one no longer means being in the answer.

For a local service business, most of what decides that answer sits off your website: your Google Business Profile, how many recent reviews you have and whether you reply to them, and whether your business name, address, and phone number match everywhere they appear online. Your website matters too, but mainly for whether it answers questions plainly enough to be quoted.

That is the whole job, and none of it is mysterious. It is careful, repetitive work that most owners do not have time to do.

What we actually do

Fix your business record everywhere it appears

We audit your name, address, phone, and hours across Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp, the BBB, Nextdoor, and the local Chamber. Mismatches make an AI hedge instead of naming you. We claim what is unclaimed and correct what is wrong.

Complete and work your Google Business Profile

Every field filled, services listed, real customer questions seeded into the Q&A section, and a review request flow so new reviews keep arriving. Reviews are one of the strongest signals there is, and recency counts.

Mark up your site so it can be read, not guessed at

Structured data telling engines what you do, where you do it, what it costs, and what your customers ask. Plus crawler access so AI systems are allowed to read your site in the first place.

Rewrite your key pages to answer first

"A standard water heater install takes most of a day and runs $1,100 to $1,800 around here" is quotable. "We pride ourselves on quality workmanship" is not. We rewrite your highest-intent pages so the answer comes first and the sales copy comes second.

Measure it every month, in writing

We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Claude the ten questions your customers ask, and score whether you were named, mentioned, or absent. You get one page: your score, the trend, screenshots, and the competitors named instead of you.

What it costs

Setup is $450 one time, or $250 if you are already on a monthly plan with us. That covers the directory cleanup, the Google Business Profile work, the structured data, the page rewrites, and your baseline report.

Ongoing AI visibility is $150 per month on its own. It is included at no extra charge in our Growth plan ($450/mo) and Premium plan ($600/mo), which is usually the better deal if you also want hosting, SEO, and content handled.

No contract lock-in. If the report stops being worth $150 to you, say so and we will stop.

What we will not tell you

We cannot guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend you, and neither can anyone else. These systems are non-deterministic and personalized: the same question can return different businesses on two phones in the same hour. Anyone promising you a position is either guessing or lying.

What we can promise is that you will know exactly where you stand every month, what changed, and who is beating you. That is a real thing to buy, and it is the only honest version of this service.

See where you stand first

We will run the check for free and send you the actual answers. No call required, and no obligation after.
