Get your business recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI

More customers now ask AI tools who to hire. Those tools answer using your website, your Google profile and listings across the web. We make sure that information is complete, consistent and easy for them to use.

In plain English

What is AI search optimization?

AI search optimization (also called AEO, answer engine optimization, or GEO, generative engine optimization) is the work that helps tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews understand your business well enough to recommend it.

These tools don't rank ten blue links. They read what's available about you and write an answer. If your listings disagree, your website is vague, or you don't answer common questions anywhere, the AI either gets you wrong or names a competitor instead.

It builds on good local SEO. It doesn't replace it.

Where AI answers come from

The sources AI tools read

  • Your website and its structured data
  • Your Google Business Profile
  • Review sites like Google, Yelp and Facebook
  • Directories and Nextdoor
  • News, chamber and community sites
  • Social profiles and LinkedIn

What we do

How we make your business AI-ready

Step 1

Clean up your listings

We find every listing for your business and make the name, address, phone and description match. Conflicting listings are the most common problem we see.

Step 2

Add structured data

Schema markup tells AI tools exactly who you are, what you do, where you work and how to contact you, in a format they read directly.

Step 3

Write answer-ready content

Clear FAQ and service content that answers the questions customers ask AI tools, in the first two sentences, where AI can quote it.

Step 4

Strengthen your Google profile

Google's AI Overviews lean on your Business Profile. We complete it and keep it active.

Step 5

Build mentions

Get your business listed and mentioned on trusted local sites: chamber pages, community directories and local news.

Questions

AI search questions

Do people really use ChatGPT to find local businesses?

A growing number do, though Google is still where most local searches start. That's why we treat AI search as a layer on top of local SEO. The same fixes help you in both places.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?

No. AI tools decide their own answers, and they change often. What we can do is fix the things that keep you out of those answers and show you what the tools say each month.

What's the difference between AEO and GEO?

They're two names for nearly the same work. AEO (answer engine optimization) focuses on getting your content quoted as a direct answer. GEO (generative engine optimization) focuses on being cited by AI tools like ChatGPT. We do both.
