FAQ
AI search visibility, answered
The questions San Diego business owners actually ask us. Every answer starts with the direct answer — no marketing language.
What is AI search optimization?
+
Making a business legible and credible enough that AI tools name it when someone asks for a recommendation. Covers your Google profile, your listings across the web, your reviews, and how your website content is structured.
Isn't this just SEO?
+
Built on the same foundation, different job. Google shows a page of options; AI names two or three. Most SEO providers aren't tracking AI citations at all.
How do you measure it?
+
Ten buying-intent questions, run across four platforms monthly, same wording every time. You see how many of forty you won and who beat you on the rest.
How long until it works?
+
6–12 weeks for the first measurable shift. Perplexity and Google's AI answers move first; ChatGPT takes longest because it depends on third-party sources.
What does it cost?
+
$997 a month on a twelve-month term, plus a one-time setup fee. We talk numbers after the audit.
Why a twelve-month contract?
+
The work compounds and real results land around month three. A three-month deal would mean selling you something that hasn't started working.
Can you guarantee I'll show up in ChatGPT?
+
No, and be careful with anyone who does. We don't control the engines. We control whether your business is clean and structured enough to be chosen, and we show you the movement monthly either way.
What do you need from me?
+
About an hour in week one: account access, your service list, and the questions customers actually ask. After that we handle it and you see us monthly.
Do you work outside San Diego?
+
No. The monthly in-person visit is most of the value.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
+
Med spas, home services like HVAC and plumbing, specialty medical and dental, and legal. Anyone local with at least one service worth four figures.
What is NAP consistency?
+
Name, Address, Phone, matching character for character everywhere online. "Suite 200" versus "Ste 200" counts as a mismatch, and mismatches are the most common reason AI skips a business.
Why does my Google Business Profile matter for ChatGPT?
+
About 42% of AI citations for local questions trace back to Google Business Profile. Gemini is tied directly to Google Maps; the others pull from a wider mix that still leans on it heavily.
I already get all my business from referrals. Why does this matter?
+
When someone gets referred to you, the first thing they do is look you up. If AI has your old hours or names a competitor, you lose a referral you already earned.
Do you also do websites, ads, or social media?
+
No. We do AI search visibility, reviews, missed-call recovery, and database reactivation. We'll refer you out for the rest.
How is this different from a big agency?
+
We're one person you can call, in your city, who comes to your business every month. No account manager, no ticket queue.
