AI assistants recommend businesses they can confirm from many trusted sources: your website, your Google Business Profile, reviews, directories, local news, and "best of" lists. We make sure your services, service area, and credentials are stated clearly on your site, that your listings agree with each other, and that other trusted sites talk about you. Then we track which customer questions name you each month.

Both names describe the same work: making your business easy for AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot to find, understand, and cite. It builds on local SEO and adds clear answers to customer questions, consistent business facts across the web, and mentions on sites these tools trust.

AI search visibility helps customers find and choose you when they ask tools like ChatGPT or Google AI Mode. AI chat and voice agents answer those customers once they contact you. One brings people in, the other makes sure nobody slips away.

No one honestly can. AI answers change by question, location, and over time. We strengthen the signals these tools rely on and track your mentions across a consistent set of customer questions.

We ask AI assistants the same set of real customer questions every month, such as "best plumber in Troy NY," and record whether you're named, who is named instead, and which sources they cite. You see the results in your monthly report alongside rankings, calls, and inquiries.

Your Google Business Profile, service and town pages on your website, reviews, business listings across directories, technical fixes, and tracking. The goal is to show up in the Google Maps results and organic results when nearby customers search for what you do.

No. We start with your goal and what you already have. You may need one focused project or a few pieces working together. The recommendation should fit your business, not a package.

Yes, that's often the best place to start. We review the platform, content, and how customers move through it before recommending improvements or a rebuild.

We build a website that ranks for a service in a specific city, such as "fence installation in Troy." The calls it generates go to one business in that territory for a monthly fee.

Only what you approve. Each agent gets a knowledge base you sign off on, clear limits, and testing before launch. We decide together what it can answer, which details it collects, and when it hands a question to you.

Modern voice agents sound natural and handle common questions well. We script them around your services, test them before launch, and route anything unusual to you.

Yes. We can set up forms, appointment booking, deposit links, CRM connections, and follow-up texts and emails around the tools you already use. Any platform or messaging fees are spelled out in your proposal.

It tests your homepage's mobile speed with Google PageSpeed, checks the SEO basics (titles, descriptions, headings, schema, sitemap, and robots.txt), looks up where you rank on Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo for your service and city, and asks AI assistants who they recommend. You see a score for each area right away and can unlock the full findings and fixes by email.

The free score checks your homepage in about a minute.

The Comprehensive Growth Audit is $2,000, credited in full toward any package you start within 30 days. Setup packages start at $7,500 and monthly care starts at $2,500 a month. You get a written plan with deliverables and a fixed price before you commit to anything.

Yes. Your domain, content, and site are yours. Rank-and-rent lead sites are the exception: we own those and rent the leads.

Website, chat, voice, and follow-up tools work from launch day. Search rankings usually take a few months to build, depending on your market's competition. Changes in AI answers typically take 3 to 6 months to show.
