Getting Found
Google, Maps, and now AI assistants. The channels where customers look for local businesses are multiplying — and you need to show up in all of them.
The majority of "near me" searches end with a click on one of the three Google Maps results. If your business isn't in that pack, you're invisible to most local buyers. Local SEO — your Google Business Profile, reviews, local citations, and on-page signals — determines whether you make the cut.
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity now handle millions of local queries. "Best dentist in Atlanta." "Trusted auto dealer near me." These AI tools give recommendations — and they're learning from what's on the web.
Businesses with clear, authoritative, well-structured online content are the ones getting cited. If your online presence is thin or inconsistent, AI tools either ignore you or get your details wrong.
Complete, optimized, and active. Categories, services, photos, posts, and weekly updates signal relevance to Google's local algorithm.
Consistent NAP (name, address, phone) across 50+ directories builds the local authority score that determines Maps rankings.
Pages built for your specific service areas and keywords — not just a generic homepage. Static HTML for fast loading and reliable crawling.
Schema markup, llms.txt, and entity-rich content help AI tools understand and accurately recommend your business.
We check how you show up on Google Maps, in regular search, and in AI tools like ChatGPT — and where you're missing or wrong. No cost.
Google Business Profile, consistent listings across directories, local pages built for your service areas, and the structured data AI tools read. The unglamorous work that actually moves rankings.
Search and AI aren't set-and-forget. We maintain the profile, the content, and the signals that keep you in the results as the rules change.
It comes down to three things working together: a complete, active Google Business Profile; consistent name, address, and phone listings across the major directories; and a website with real pages built for your services and service areas. Most local businesses are missing at least one of these, which is why they don't make the three-result Maps pack.
Yes — but only if your information online is clear, consistent, and well-structured. AI tools build their recommendations from what's published across the web. If your details are thin or conflicting, AI either skips you or gets you wrong. Clean, authoritative, structured content is what gets a business cited.
Local SEO is about showing up for customers in your area specifically — the "near me" and "in Atlanta" searches — rather than competing nationally. It leans heavily on your Google Business Profile, local listings, and reviews, which regular SEO doesn't touch. For a local business, this is the version that matters.
It's a build, not a switch. Profile and listing fixes can show up in weeks; ranking improvements in competitive categories usually take a few months of consistent work. Anyone promising instant top rankings is selling something that doesn't exist.
Almost always because your name, address, and phone number are listed differently across directories — an old address here, a different phone there. Those inconsistencies confuse both Google and AI tools. Cleaning them up so every listing matches is one of the first things we do.
We'll show you exactly how your business appears today across Google, Maps, and AI search — and where the gaps are costing you customers. It's a free visibility review, with no obligation.
