Local SEO and AI search visibility for businesses that need to show up where customers are actually looking.
When someone asks Google, Siri, or ChatGPT for a dentist, a contractor, or a lawyer near them, the answer is no longer just a list of links. It is a curated response — and the businesses in it are the ones that have built the right digital footprint.

Most local businesses have not built the right digital footprint. Most local SEO agencies are still optimizing for the old version of search — the one that ended a couple of years ago.
A list of blue links
You optimized a website to rank in 10 organic results. You built backlinks. You hoped the searcher clicked yours. Most local SEO work is still aimed here.
A curated AI answer
The searcher gets a single recommendation, or three. Apple Intelligence, Google AI, and Perplexity pick from businesses they recognize as the local entity. Either you’re in the answer, or you don’t exist to that customer.
We build the local AI search presence that puts your business in the answer, not below it — the kind of presence that gets cited by AI systems, not just indexed by search engines.
The Local AI Search system.
Five connected components that establish your business as the trusted local entity AI systems pull from. Built once, maintained monthly, compounding over time.
Google Business Profile optimization
Your Google Business Profile is the most important local search asset you own. We optimize every element — categories, service areas, photos, Q&A, posting cadence — and maintain it as a living asset, not a set-and-forget profile.
Local entity building
We establish and strengthen your business as a recognized local entity — consistent NAP (name, address, phone) across directories, structured data on your website, and citation signals that local AI systems use to determine relevance and trust.
AI review acceleration
Over 65% of AI-generated local answers are informed by community reviews and ratings. We build the review generation system — automated prompts to satisfied customers, response templates, and keyword-rich reply frameworks — that builds your AI trust score over time.
Local content for AI citation
We create locally-specific content structured for AI extraction — service area pages, FAQ content, and neighborhood-level copy that tells AI systems exactly what you do, where you do it, and who you serve.
Monthly monitoring and reporting
We track your local search visibility, review velocity, AI citation presence, and competitor standing monthly — and report in plain language on what is moving and what needs attention. You always know whether the work is producing results, and where the next opportunity is.
Investment.
Monthly retainer
Retainer scales with market competitiveness, number of locations, and content requirements. Most engagements begin with a local visibility audit so you know exactly where you stand before committing to the full build.
Frequently asked questions.
Do I need to be on every directory?
Not every directory — the right directories. We prioritize based on which platforms AI systems actually pull from for your category and market. Quality and consistency matter more than volume.
How do you generate more reviews without it feeling pushy?
We build the ask into the natural follow-up flow after a positive service interaction — via automated SMS or email, timed correctly, with a direct link. The businesses that get reviews consistently are the ones who ask consistently. We automate that ask so it happens every time.
I have multiple locations. Does this work at scale?
Yes. We build location-specific optimization for each property — individual GBP management, location pages, and local citations — with centralized reporting so you can see performance across all locations in one view.
Will this help me show up in voice search and AI assistants?
Yes. Optimizing for local AI search — structured entity data, review corpus, GBP completeness — is the same work that improves visibility in Apple Intelligence, Google Assistant, and AI-generated local answers. It is one build that serves multiple discovery channels.
