Your customers are asking AI for recommendations right now.
88% of local businesses don't show up in AI search answers. Strong Google rankings don't help — it's a different game with different rules. We get you cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews so customers find you in the answer, not on page two.
§ 01 — When the customer asks AI
When someone asks AI for a recommendation, are you in the answer?
More people are asking ChatGPT, Google AI, and Gemini for local-service recommendations every day. Ranking on Google doesn't mean you show up in those answers. It's a different game with different rules.

§ 02 — The visibility gap
