See how AI search is affecting your businessand what to do about it
Your customers are asking AI for recommendations. Let's make sure they're finding you.
Here's what just happened to local search
(and why it matters to you)
You know how your customers find you? They Google "plumber near me" or "best landscaper in New Haven," right?
Except here's the thing - they're not getting the same Google anymore.
10 blue links to click through
AI Overview
Based on reviews and local presence, here are the top 3 plumbers in your area:
AI picks and explains the best options
What's actually happening:
AI Takes Over the Top Spot
Google is now putting AI-generated answers at the top of most searches. Instead of showing a list of websites to click through, it's giving people 2-3 business recommendations with explanations of why it picked them.
Traditional Results Get Buried
Those traditional search results - the blue links you've been optimizing for? They're getting pushed down the page. Most people never scroll down to see them anymore.
New Players, New Rules
And that's just Google. More people are asking ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity directly: "What's the best HVAC company near me?" These AI systems don't care about your Google rankings at all.
Businesses that spent years climbing Google's rankings are suddenly invisible. Meanwhile, other businesses - not necessarily the "best" ones, just the ones AI can understand and trust - are getting recommended left and right.
It's like the game changed overnight, but nobody sent out a memo.
Your customers are still searching.
They just might not be finding you anymore.
The question is: when AI looks at your business, what does it see?
What you'll get: A complete picture of how AI sees your business
This isn't some generic report with vague suggestions. You'll get a detailed slide presentation showing exactly where you stand with AI search - and a roadmap to fix what's not working.
Current AI Visibility Assessment
How your business shows up when people ask AI for local recommendations. I'll test your business across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI search to see which queries include you and which ones don't.
Your Competition Deep Dive
Why certain competitors are getting recommended while others aren't. I'll show you exactly what they're doing right, what they're missing, and where you can beat them at their own game.
Website AI Readiness Review
How well your current site works with AI search systems. Most websites were built for old-school Google - I'll show you what needs to change for AI to understand and recommend your business.
Google Business Profile Analysis
Your GBP feeds directly into AI recommendations, but most profiles are missing key elements. I'll audit yours against what AI systems actually look for.
30/60/90 Day Action Plan
A prioritized, step-by-step roadmap with specific deadlines. No fluff - just exactly what to do first, second, and third to get AI recommending your business.
Two ways forward from here
Take the DIY route
Use the detailed roadmap to make the changes yourself. You'll have everything you need - it'll just take 3-4 months to implement depending on your schedule and comfort with the technical stuff.
Let me handle it
I'll implement everything in your action plan as part of a complete website rebuild designed for AI search. Takes 2-3 weeks, and I'll credit your $500 analysis fee toward the project.
The website rebuild includes:
- Everything from your AI analysis fully implemented
- Custom-built site optimized for both traditional and AI search
- Mobile-first design (74% of local searches)
- Google Business Profile optimization
- Custom coded for speed - loads in under 2 seconds
- Built to work with current AI systems and whatever comes next
Why I spend so much time researching this stuff
I've been tracking these AI search changes for months because I could see this shift coming. The landscape changes constantly - new AI systems launching, existing ones updating their algorithms, people changing how they search.
I spend time every week researching what's working, what's not, and what's coming next so my clients don't have to.
Do I have all the answers? No way. This is all too new and moving too fast. But I'm tracking the patterns, testing what works, and adapting as things change.
Because here's what I know for sure: the businesses that figure this out first are going to have a huge advantage. And the ones that ignore it are going to wonder why their phone stopped ringing.
What I'm seeing in the field
HVAC Company in Hamden
Before: 0 AI recommendations out of 10 queries
Issue: Website had no structured data
After fix: Showing up in 7/10 AI searches
Time to implement: 6 weeks
Restaurant in New Haven
Traffic drop: 40% in 2 months
Cause: AI couldn't parse their menu
Solution: Structured menu data
Recovery: Back to normal in 30 days
Plumbing Service
Competitor advantage: 8/10 mentions vs 0
Difference: Service area clarity
Fix cost: 2 hours of work
Impact: Now tied for recommendations
These aren't edge cases. This is happening to businesses every day.
Questions about the audit?
What if the audit results are bad?
That's exactly why you need this audit. Most businesses have room for improvement - that's normal. The important thing is knowing where you stand so you can fix it. I'll give you a clear roadmap whether you implement it yourself or have me handle it.
How technical is the DIY roadmap?
I write it for business owners, not tech experts. Each step includes exactly what to do, why it matters, and how to know if you did it right. If you can update your Facebook page, you can handle most of these changes.
What if I don't have a website yet?
Perfect timing! The audit will show you exactly what your competitors are doing and how to build something that beats them from day one. Better to build it right than rebuild it later.
How do you track AI search changes?
I have automated systems that monitor AI search patterns daily across multiple platforms. When something changes, I know about it within 24 hours. This isn't guesswork - it's data-driven analysis.
Why should I trust your analysis?
Because I'm not selling theory. I test real businesses in real AI systems every day. I track what works, what doesn't, and why. Plus, you'll see actual screenshots and data in your audit - not generic advice.
Can I really implement this myself?
Many of my clients do. The roadmap is designed to be actionable. That said, it typically takes 3-4 months doing it yourself vs 2-3 weeks if I handle it. Your time might be worth more than the difference.
Ready to see where you stand?
The analysis fee gets applied to any website work if you decide to move forward. No pressure, no sales pitch - just a clear picture of what you're dealing with and what your options are.
