- Why isn't my business showing up when people ask ChatGPT for a recommendation?
- In most cases the answer engines cannot read your site well enough to trust it. They look for crawlable structure, schema markup that identifies what you do, content written as direct answers, and third-party proof that you are a real and active business. When those are missing, the engine names a competitor instead. The Free AI Visibility Check takes 60 seconds and shows you the top three gaps.
- How do I get AI to recommend my business?
- Give the answer engines something to read and something to verify. That means schema markup on your site, pages written as clear answers to the questions customers actually ask, and consistent mentions in the places AI checks, including Google, Bing, Yelp, Reddit, business directories and local press. Our AI Visibility Audit runs the full 100-point check and hands you the exact fixes, ranked by priority.
- How can I check if ChatGPT or Perplexity mentions my business?
- Ask them directly, using the words a customer would use, then note whether your name appears in the answer. The AI Visibility Audit does this in a structured way with a 10-query citation test: we run ten real buying-intent searches for your area through the engines and record who gets named. The results come back in your written report, which is delivered within 7 days.
- Does AEO work for local trades and mobile services like electricians, roofers and mobile car detailers?
- Yes, local service businesses are who this is built for. Golden Grove Landscape is one example: we built and launched their site in under 7 days, and it now ranks locally for high-intent landscaping searches across Sonoma, Napa and Marin. The same six signals apply to any business where a customer asks an assistant who to hire.
- Which AI engines does the audit check?
- The audit runs your business through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to see who they name for searches in your area. Claude, Gemini and Copilot read the same kinds of signals, so most of the same fixes help there too. Those engines all pull from sources like Google, Bing, Yelp, Reddit, directories and local press, which is why the Website Build + Shoot sets your listings up across them.
- Do I need a whole new website, or can you fix the one I have?
- Start with the audit, because most sites need fixes rather than a rebuild. Schema, page structure and answer-shaped copy can usually be added to the site you already have. If the site itself is the problem, we shoot new photos of your crew and build you a new one: fast, conversion-first, with clean structure and real schema, live in as little as 7 days. You own everything either way, with no lock-in contracts.
- What happens during the Website Build + Shoot?
- We spend a half-day on-site shooting your crew, your trucks, and your finished jobs. Then we build your new site around those photos: schema, page rewrites, and a listing setup across Google Business Profile, Bing Places and five directories, all folded into the build. It is $1,000, or four monthly payments of $250.
- How long before AI starts mentioning my business?
- Nobody can promise a date for that, and we do not. What we can put a timeline on is the work: your written audit arrives within 7 days, and the Website Build + Shoot gets your new site and your listings live in as little as 7 days too. From there, visibility is a function of how consistently the real signals show up, not a date we can guess.
