AI Search Visibility
Your customers are asking AI who to hire. Let's make sure you're the answer.
Something has shifted in how people find the businesses they hire.
They're not just Googling anymore.
They're asking ChatGPT. They're asking Gemini. They're typing full questions into Perplexity and getting a direct recommendation.
People want a name, a business, a reason before they ever scroll to a search result.
If you're not showing up in those answers, you're not losing to a better competitor. You're losing to a more visible one.
This is what I help you fix.
Who this is for
This work is built for local service businesses and professional practices — the kind of business where trust, reputation, and a personal relationship are everything. If you're in any of these categories, we're talking about the same problem:
Home & trade services
Roofing, waterproofing, HVAC, plumbing, landscaping, cleaning, restoration, appraisers
Professional practices
Attorneys, dentists, chiropractors, therapists, financial advisors, physical therapists, accountants
The details of your business are different. The problem is the same: the way customers find you has changed, and most businesses haven't caught up yet.
What changed — and why it matters
Traditional SEO was built around one model: rank on page one, get clicks.
That model is in structural decline. Here's why:
Zero-click searches are the new normal.
AI Overviews are now embedded in the majority of Google results. Buyers get their answer directly on the search page and never click through to a website. Click-through rates for top-ranked organic links have dropped by up to 58% on queries where AI answers appear.
Buyers are having conversations with AI, not typing keywords.
Instead of "best roofing contractor Orange County," a homeowner is asking ChatGPT: "My flat roof is leaking after the last storm — who should I call in Irvine and what should I expect to pay?" The answer that comes back isn't a list of links. It's a recommendation.
AI doesn't rank websites. It evaluates businesses.
Large language models look at your entire digital footprint — reviews, schema markup, directory listings, third-party mentions, social profiles, how consistently your information appears across platforms — and decide which businesses are trustworthy enough to recommend. Keywords don't move this needle. Authority does.
How I Can Help
I build the kind of digital presence that AI engines trust enough to recommend. Three things have to work together:
1. Brand authority and entity foundation
AI models don't just crawl your website — they evaluate your business as an entity. That means your name, category, location, and expertise need to be consistent and confirmed across every platform that matters: your GBP, Yelp, industry directories, review sites, your LinkedIn, your social profiles. The more sources that tell the same coherent story about who you are and what you do, the more confident AI becomes in recommending you.
This is what most businesses are missing — not a bad website, but an inconsistent story scattered across the web.
2. Machine-readable content and structure
AI crawlers read your site differently than humans do. They look for structured data (schema markup), clear question-and-answer content, and specific signals that tell them what your business does, who it serves, and where you operate.
If your homepage says "serving the community with excellence," AI has no idea what you sell. I fix that — at the technical level and at the content level — so that AI can read your site, understand your business, and feel confident citing you.
3. High-intent conversion from AI-referred leads
Buyers coming from AI recommendations are different. They've already been pre-screened. AI already told them you're the right choice. That's a warmer lead than almost any other channel produces.
But only if your site is ready to receive them. I look at what happens after the referral — your messaging, your trust signals, your call-to-action — to make sure those high-intent visitors convert.
How it works — three phases
Phase 1: AI Perception Audit (Weeks 1–4)
Before we build anything, we find out where you actually stand. I evaluate how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI currently represent your business.
Phase 2: Technical and Content Foundation (Weeks 4–12)
This is where the infrastructure gets built. Schema markup, content restructured for AI retrieval. The goal: no friction between AI and your business.
Phase 3: Authority and Citation Growth (Weeks 8–24)
AI recommends businesses it has seen confirmed across multiple trusted sources. In this phase, we build those external signals to increase your "share of AI voice" in your category.
Note: the timelines are an estimated average based on past experience, your particular case may vary depending on where your online presence is at and what the initial audit will report back.
What you're building toward
When this work is done, your business shows up inside AI-synthesized answers — not as a link someone might click, but as the recommendation someone acts on.
The businesses that get cited by AI are not necessarily the biggest or the most-advertised in their category. They're the ones whose digital presence is coherent, consistent, and built to be understood by machines. That's an advantage that compounds over time. Every review that goes up, every consistent mention, every piece of structured content makes the next recommendation more likely.
The window to build this before your competitors do is still open. Not indefinitely.
Not sure where you stand?
The first step is finding out what AI actually knows about your business right now — what it says when someone asks, what gaps exist, and what your competitors are already doing that you're not.
That's exactly what the Free Online Presence Assessment covers. I look at your full digital footprint and send you a specific breakdown of what's working, what's missing, and what I'd fix first.
