Your Google Business Profile
Your categories, service area, hours, photos, and services. If your profile is thin or wrong, AI has nothing solid to say about you. We fill out every field and keep it active.
Homeowners now ask AI who to call. It answers with two or three names. We do the work that makes yours one of them, and we check every month what the AI tools say about you.

For years, getting found meant ranking on Google. Google still matters most. But a big new group of homeowners skips the list of links and asks an AI instead.
45%
of US consumers used an AI tool to find a local business in 2026. A year earlier it was 6%.

used ChatGPT for business recommendations in the past year. 23% used Google’s AI Mode.
Source: BrightLocal, 2026Google is doing it too. Its AI Overviews now sit above the regular results on most question-style searches, like "how much does termite treatment cost." One 2025 study of local business searches found them on 92% of question-style searches (Whitespark). The companies those overviews mention get seen first.
You can’t pay to be in the answer itself, and AI doesn’t pick at random. It looks for the company with the clearest, most consistent, best-reviewed footprint in your city. It pulls from four places.
Your categories, service area, hours, photos, and services. If your profile is thin or wrong, AI has nothing solid to say about you. We fill out every field and keep it active.
AI reads the patterns in what customers say: how many reviews, how recent, and what they mention. "Fast termite inspection in Brandon" helps you more than "great service." We set up a simple way to ask every happy customer.
AI needs pages it can read and quote. One clear page per service and per city, with plain answers to the questions homeowners ask, plus structured data that spells out who you are and where you work.
Directories like Yelp, BBB, Angi, and Nextdoor. AI cross-checks your name, address, and phone number. When they don’t match, it trusts you less. We find and fix the mismatches.
Most agencies can’t tell you whether ChatGPT knows you exist. We check, every month, and put it in your report.
Every month we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI the questions your customers ask, like "best pest control in Tampa" or "who does termite treatment near Brandon."
Your report shows which tools named you, where you landed in the list, and who they named instead. In plain English, with screenshots.
If AI keeps naming a competitor, there’s usually a reason: more reviews, a page you don’t have, or a listing that’s wrong. We find it and close the gap.
"Best pest control company in Tampa?"
| AI tool | Named you? | Spot |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Yes | #2 |
| Google AI Mode | Yes | #1 |
| Perplexity | Yes | #3 |
| Gemini | Not yet |
This month’s fix: Gemini named two companies with more recent reviews. Push review requests in Brandon and Riverview.
Nobody controls what an AI says. Answers change from person to person and week to week. Anyone who guarantees you a spot in ChatGPT is guessing. Here is what we do promise: we do the work that makes you the easiest company in your city to recommend, and we show you what the AI tools say about you every month. No contract, so if it isn’t worth it, you cancel.
Straight answers, no buzzwords.
Mostly it’s the same foundation: a strong Google Business Profile, good reviews, a clear website, and correct listings. AI tools pull from those same places. What’s new is how answers are written. AI likes short, direct answers it can repeat, and structured data it can read without guessing. We build both into your site from day one.
No. It’s part of the flat $1,000 a month, along with your website, hosting, local SEO, Google Business Profile work, call and form tracking, and the monthly report. No add-ons.
No, and nobody honestly can. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google decide what their AI says, and the answers change from one person to the next. What we can do is make you the easiest company in your city to recommend, and show you every month what the AI tools are actually saying.
They are new names for this same work. GEO stands for generative engine optimization. AEO stands for answer engine optimization. Both mean getting AI tools to mention your business when someone asks. If an agency charges you extra for it on top of SEO, ask them what they do differently.
It depends on the tool. Some AI tools search the web live, so a better Google Business Profile or a new city page can show up in their answers within weeks. Others update more slowly. Reviews and listings build up over months. We track it monthly so you can see the trend.
Many do, but most still double check. In BrightLocal’s 2026 survey, 88% of people who use AI for recommendations said they verify what it tells them, often by reading the reviews. That’s why reviews matter twice: they shape what AI says, and they close the deal when the homeowner checks.
