Search Visibility

Every month we check what Google and AI apps like ChatGPT say about your business, fix what’s wrong or missing, and send you a report signed by Jimmy: a one-page summary on top, with the full detail underneath.

What “AI search” means, in plain terms

More and more people skip the list of links. They type or say a question, like “Who’s a good plumber near me?”, into ChatGPT, or read the short AI answer at the top of Google. The app replies with a few names and a sentence or two about each.

Those answers come from what’s already online about you: your Google listing, your reviews, your website and the directory sites. You can’t buy your way into them. You can make sure everything they draw on is accurate, complete and clear. That’s the work.

How AI apps decide who to trust

AI apps aren’t looking for the page with the most keywords. They’re looking for the business they can trust. Here’s what they check, and what we do about each one.

• Your details match everywhere. If Google says one street number and your website says another, the app can’t be sure which is right.
  What we do: Check your name, address, phone, hours and services on Google, Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook, Yelp, the BBB and the directories in your line of work, and fix what doesn’t match.
• Real customers vouch for you. Recent reviews, and replies to them, show you’re active and well thought of.
  What we do: Flag new reviews and write replies for you to approve. Nothing goes out in your name without your OK.
• Trusted local sources mention you. The apps lean on sites they already trust, like local news, the chamber of commerce and “best of” lists.
  What we do: Find the sources the AI apps cite for your kind of business in your town, show you which ones leave you out, and draft the outreach for you to send.
• Your website answers the question plainly. A clear page that says what you do, where and for whom is easy for an app to quote. A page full of slogans isn’t.
  What we do: Make small fixes so each page answers a real customer question in the first lines, with the facts written out in plain text.
• The search engines can find you. The AI apps draw on Google, Bing and Brave. If a search engine doesn’t have your pages, the apps that use it can’t see them.
  What we do: Check that Google, Bing and Brave have your pages, and add the behind-the-scenes files (like structured data and an llms.txt file) that help AI apps read your site correctly.

Then, every month, we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Google, Perplexity and Grok the same questions your customers ask, and show you what they said about you.

What you get each month

• The same questions, every month. About 25 real questions your customers ask, run in Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. Asking the same ones each month shows what’s changing.
• Your details, checked everywhere. Hours, phone, address, services and the area you serve, on Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp, the BBB and the sites that matter in your line of work.
• Your reviews, looked after. We flag new reviews and write replies for you to approve. Nothing goes out in your name without your OK.
• One fix every week. A corrected listing, a review reply, an updated Google profile, or a clearer page on your website. You get a two-line note: “This week we fixed ___.”
• A monthly report, signed by Jimmy. A one-page summary on top, with the full detail underneath: every listing checked, where people in your town look, and how you compare with three competitors. Plus how often you came up compared with last month, what we found, what we fixed, what’s next, and no more than two questions for you.

Why it’s monthly

The answers don’t sit still. Google and the AI apps change who they mention every few weeks. New reviews come in. Directory sites sometimes undo corrections on their own. A one-time cleanup fades. Checking every month keeps it right and shows you the trend.

What it isn’t

• It isn’t advertising. You don’t pay for clicks or ads. This is about the free answers people already see.
• It isn’t a new website. Small fixes to the site you have are included. If something bigger would help, we’ll tell you, and the decision is yours.
• It isn’t a promise of first place. Nobody can honestly promise you’ll be “#1 in ChatGPT.” We’ll show you, with the same questions every month, where you stand and what’s improved.

Common questions

Isn’t this just SEO?

Partly, yes. The basics still matter: the search engines have to find your pages, and your pages have to say clearly what you do. But AI apps add a step. They decide which business to name based on how much they trust it, and they judge that by what other sources say about you, not just your own website. So the work goes beyond your site, to your listings, your reviews and the local sites the apps rely on. That’s what Search Visibility covers.

Can’t I just pay to be in the answers?

No. You can’t buy your way into what ChatGPT or Gemini says about you. The apps build their answers from what’s already online about your business. What you can do is make sure that information is accurate, complete and backed up by sources the apps trust. That’s the work, and it’s why we check every month.

AI apps like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI answers don’t just match keywords. They choose who to recommend based on trust and authority: consistent facts about your business, real reviews, and other sites that mention you. That’s the work we do, so the AI apps can find you and get your details right.

How it works

1. Get your free report. Send your business name and town. In 3 business days you’ll get what Google and ChatGPT say about you, and what we’d fix first.
2. Reply “yes.” We’ll send an invoice for the first month and a short list of what we need. Usually that’s adding us as a manager on your Google listing (you stay the owner), plus a website login if you’d like us to make small fixes.
3. Weekly fixes. One a week, each with a two-line note.
4. Monthly report. A one-page summary on top, signed by Jimmy, with the full detail underneath: every listing checked, where people in your town look, and how you compare with three competitors. Reply with questions anytime.
5. Stay as long as it’s worth it. Month to month. Your accounts are always yours, and you keep every report.
