Bay Area · AI Search Visibility
Are AI search engines recommending your business to prospective buyers?
You don't need to be the biggest name in your category. You just need to be easy for AI, and the agents acting on someone's behalf, to read and trust. We help you get cited when prospective clients ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews who to hire.

Illustrative example
Sound familiar?
Which one is you?
The Referral-Only Owner
Your clients found you through someone they trust. A few testimonials on your own page don't carry that weight anymore. Before the next one calls, they're checking what AI tools say about you, and AI agents are checking the same thing on their behalf. If the proof isn't out there, accurate and findable, the referral loses its edge.
Solo B2C Founder
Your ads hit the right audience. People click, they even book a call. Before it happens, they ask ChatGPT and Claude what they can find out about you. If one gives them nothing and the other gives them something negative, they don't show up. The ad spend is gone, and so is your time.
The Burned-By-Agency B2B SaaS Founder
Your agency sends monthly SEO reports. Your leads haven't moved. Old SEO playbooks don't account for how savvy customers search now, in the agentic era. Your clients still search, but more of them ask AI tools before they ever type into Google, and your content doesn't show up there. Your agency keeps doing what it's always done.
The Growth-Push Owner
You've invested heavily in a new service or a new location. To you, it's the biggest move you've made all year. To your customers, it's invisible, because the AI tools they'd ask haven't caught up to the new you yet.
If none of these sound like you, this page probably isn't for you.

Why it matters
Where you rank against competitors matters less than whether you've started
Why now. In SOCi's 2026 study of multi-location brands, ChatGPT recommended just 1.2% of locations it tested, compared with a 35.9% appearance rate in Google's local results. Independent, single-location businesses weren't part of that study, but the gap shows how selective AI recommendations already are. Whoever builds the footprint first gets cited first.
The shift. 45% of consumers now use AI to find local businesses, up from 6% in 2025.
Your clients are already asking AI. A 2025 Wealthtender study of 500 US adults planning to hire a financial advisor found 25.4% said they'd use AI search tools like ChatGPT or Gemini to find one, compared with 49.8% who'd use a search engine. AI isn't replacing search yet, but it's already a real part of how people look for help.
Pretty isn't readable. Some AI tools can't run JavaScript. A page can look perfect to you and read as empty to them.
Your digital footprint is the asset. Most of what AI search engines cite about a business sits outside its own website: directories, reviews, forums, video. Fix the foundation before spending on one channel.
Why Us
We are not an agency. We are product people and engineers who build systems.
Plain-language work you can check, not agency jargon.
Engineers who understand how AI decides what's relevant
Most agencies still think in keywords and rankings. We're product people and engineers who understand how LLMs reason about relevance and how search engines decide what to cite. We give you a content strategy and roadmap based on your niche data and how it is interpreted by the machines, not around a metric that stopped mattering.
A roadmap, not just a report
Plenty of tools can hand you an AI audit and a dashboard. The harder part is knowing what to do with it. We turn what we find into a practical roadmap for your content and your website, ranked by what to fix first, not a stack of numbers you have to interpret yourself.
Your content used to have one reader. Now it has three.
Most agencies sell the same fix: publish more, and hope something gets picked up. We start somewhere else. A page can look perfect and still be unreadable to the tools deciding whether to recommend you, so we build in plain HTML a person can read, a search engine can crawl, and an AI tool can check in an instant. Same page. Three readers, all of them actually able to read it.
How we do it
Built to be read by AI search engines, humans, and the AI agents acting on their behalf
Does your website pass the AI search engine usability test?
- We test your pages against the AI tools themselves, so we see exactly what they find, not what we assume.
- We fix what's blocking them: slow, overbuilt pages that look fine to a person but read blank or incomplete to AI.
- We add the structure and labels that spell out who you are and what you do, page by page, so nothing is left to guess.
Does the rest of the web say the same thing about you?
- We complete and keep current your Google Business Profile, the single strongest lever for local AI recommendations.
- We get you listed correctly on the directories AI tools actually check for your field, not a generic list.
- We build a steady flow of real reviews, since AI tools weigh what other people say about you, not just what you say about yourself.
Does your content reach people where they're actually asking?
- Built from what your customers actually ask, not keyword guesses.
- Published on your website and across the other places AI tools check, like directories, forums, and review platforms, not locked to one channel.
- Grounded in what makes you different and what your customers tell you. Real feedback, real reviews. That's what lets your content match the exact question someone asks, not a generic answer.
How would you actually know if it's working?
- We run the real questions your customers would ask, in the real AI tools, on a set schedule, not once and never again.
- We show you what came back, word for word, with the date and the question, not a score.
- We compare how often you're recommended across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews against where your actual leads are coming from each month, then revise the content roadmap based on what's working and how your audience actually searches.
This only works with your input, not your labor. Keep sending us what customers actually ask, and keep the reviews coming. We'll handle the rest, and your website and the content around it keep adjusting to match what your customers are actually asking, not sitting still after a one-time build.
