Our guarantee on the Done-For-You Fix and Stay Cited: if a re-scan of the same saved questions, 30 days after the changes go live, does not name you in a larger share of answers than your baseline report (at least 4 percentage points, about 3 more answers out of 75), we keep working at no charge until it does, or refund you in full. You choose. The $149 report is refunded if it doesn't reach you within 48 hours or doesn't do what our terms say it does.
Built for every local business
Scan. Compare. Fix. A scan is not a score to decode. It is plain findings and specific fixes, written for a busy owner.
Whether an AI model with live web search names your business for a question a customer would ask, and the likely reasons why or why not. If you're already recommended, we say so.
The real competitors that get named, and what we found that likely explains it: the directory that lists them, the page that answers the question, the profile that matches everywhere.
Four fixes, in order. Specific and checkable. "Your hours differ between your site and your Google listing," not "improve your SEO." Hand the list to any developer, or let us do it.
Why this is happening now
Ranking on Google and being recommended by an AI assistant overlap less than most owners expect. Doing well at one does not guarantee the other.
of US consumers used AI tools such as ChatGPT for local business recommendations, up from 6% the year before.
BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, 2026of locations of multi-location brands were not recommended by ChatGPT in SOCi's tests, across more than 350,000 locations of 2,751 brands.
SOCi Local Visibility Index, 2026overlap, in retail, between the brands most visible in traditional local search and the brands AI platforms recommended most.
SOCi Local Visibility Index, 2026more likely to visit a brand's website within 7 days after ChatGPT recommended it (national finance, travel and beauty brands).
Similarweb, 2026An AI assistant usually returns one short list, not ten blue links, so being left off that list costs more than ranking fifth.
How we fix it
An AI assistant with web search builds its answer from the pages and listings it finds. We work to make your facts easy for it to find and confirm.
Structured data, a clean business profile, and pages that state your services, areas, hours, pricing and credentials as explicit facts, not marketing copy an AI has to interpret.
AI cross-checks. Your name, address, phone, hours and services must match across your site, your Google profile, directories and review platforms. Conflicting facts can make you less likely to be named.
Assistants tend to use sources that directly answer the question asked. We build the pages that answer the exact buying questions in your trade, the ones people actually type into a chat box.

See a real sample first
On September 30, 2026 we ran the free scan and the full report on the same business, North Monsen Company in Salt Lake City, with the owner's permission. The free scan tells the AI the business name and asks one question. The report never tells it the name and asks 25. Read both; the gap is the whole point.
Free scan · $0
Result: named, in that one test.
One live-researched question, 3 competitors, 4 fixes, two pages. Because it knows the name, it went and found northmonsen.com.

Named in 3 of 25. Millcreek Engineering named in 13.
This sample used our earlier method: each question asked once (September 30, 2026). Reports since October 8 ask each question 3 times and score every answer, for example "7 of 72".
Every answer the AI gave, ten competitors and why each surfaces, the patterns behind it, and ten fixes in priority order.

Questions
No. In retail, only about 45% of the brands most visible in traditional local search were also among those AI platforms recommended most (SOCi Local Visibility Index, 2026). Ranking well on Google does not guarantee being recommended by AI. Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking a link. This optimizes for being quoted as the answer, which depends on structured facts, cross-source agreement, and answer-formatted content. Related skills, different scoreboard.
Nobody can guarantee a specific AI output. Anyone who promises that is lying to you. On the Done-For-You Fix and Stay Cited: if a re-scan of the same saved questions, 30 days after the changes go live, does not name you in a larger share of answers than your baseline report (at least 4 percentage points, about 3 more answers out of 75), we keep working at no charge until it does, or refund you in full. You choose. We show you the before-and-after transcripts either way, so you're never taking our word for it. The $149 report is research, so its promise is different: it arrives within 48 hours and does what our terms say, or you get your money back.
The free scan asks one question, once, to one AI model with live web search, and the AI is told your business name. No obligation, nothing hidden. The paid report asks 25 buyer-intent questions, each 3 times, without telling the AI who you are, shows which competitors are named for which questions, and identifies the technical and content gaps that likely explain it. The Done-For-You tier means we implement the fixes rather than handing you a to-do list.
For the report, no. For the Done-For-You Fix and Stay Cited, you invite us by email to your website, your Google Business Profile and your main directory listings (Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp, Facebook). Each of those has an invite button, so we never ask for a password. If you'd rather not invite us, we deliver ready-to-paste files and written instructions instead, and file public corrections on the directories that allow them.
Run the numbers on your own business, not ours. If one new customer is worth more than $497 to you over their lifetime, this pays for itself on the first job. If your average ticket is $40 and you have no repeat business, start with the free scan and the $149 report, and decide from there.
Then we say so, in writing. An honest positive result is a perfectly good outcome, and we will never manufacture a problem to sell you a fix. You may still want monitoring, because AI answers change over time.
The $149 report asks 25 customer-style questions, each 3 times, and shows who AI names instead of you and the likely reasons. Not ready yet? Try one question free first.
