Your customers are asking AI who to hire

27% of Americans already use AI tools instead of Google when they need answers, and that number continues to grow.

Here's what that means for your business: when someone asks ChatGPT "who's the best [your service] near me," AI pulls from a handful of trusted sources. If your business isn't one of them, you don't exist in that conversation.

Google's AI Overviews work the same way. Type a question into Google, and before the regular results, you'll see an AI-generated answer box. It cites 2-3 sources. Those cited businesses get the clicks. Everyone else gets skipped.

Try it right now. Open ChatGPT or Google and ask: "Who's the best [your service] in [your city]?" If you're not mentioned, that's the gap I close.

Featured result

One CPA firm. 113 AI Overview citations.

WCG CPAs ranks in Google's AI Overview for 113 keywords, including high-value terms like "short term rental tax loophole" (1,900 monthly searches). Google's AI chose to cite them because their content answers the questions people actually ask.

These aren't paid placements. You can't buy your way into an AI Overview. Google's algorithm decides who gets cited based on content quality, authority, and how directly you answer the question.

I build the kind of content that earns those citations. That's what AIO is.

The shift is already here

AI search adoption is accelerating. These numbers tell the story.

ChatGPT has 200+ million weekly active users

Axios / OpenAI (2024)

Google AI Overviews appear on 30%+ of search queries

BrightEdge (2024)

27% of Americans have used AI tools instead of traditional search engines

TechRadar (2024)

65% of organizations regularly use generative AI

McKinsey (2024)

Here's exactly what happens

No mystery. Clear milestones every month.

Month 1: Entity Foundation

AI visibility audit across 6 platforms. Entity and schema markup live on your site. Knowledge Graph signals submitted. First citation opportunities identified. You see exactly what AI knows (and does not know) about you.

Months 2-3: Authority Building

3-4 topic clusters optimized per month. Targeted citation placement on authoritative sources AI trusts. Weekly monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude, Copilot, Gemini. AI visibility improving with before/after documentation. Citation presence growing.

Months 4-6: Authority Growth

Authority compounds. Substantial library of expert content published. AI describes you accurately and compellingly across platforms. Leads attributed to AI visibility tracked. Stronger AI presence than competitors who are not optimizing.

Every month: You see everything

Before/after AI visibility snapshots. Citation tracking across authoritative sources. Lead attribution when customers say "AI recommended you." Bi-weekly strategy calls. No vanity metrics.

Who you're hiring

Why should you trust me?

Google did.

I didn't learn SEO from a blog. I worked with Google directly. They featured me on their Google Activate program all over Europe. If Google trusted me to represent them, you can trust me to rank you on them.

Don't take my word for it

Problems I solve every day

Sound familiar?

“People are asking ChatGPT for recommendations and my business never comes up”

This is the new reality. AI assistants are becoming the first place people look for recommendations. Here's how I'll get you in the conversation:

  • Audit how ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity currently see (or miss) your business
  • Structure your content so AI models can understand and cite you
  • Build the authority signals that make AI trust your brand
  • Monitor your AI visibility and adapt as these platforms evolve

“I don't even know where to start with AI optimization”

Nobody does, and that's actually an advantage. The businesses that start now will own this space before competitors even realize it matters:

  • I handle the strategy. You don't need to understand the technology
  • We start with what you already have and optimize it for AI discovery
  • Monthly check-ins to show you exactly where your business appears in AI responses
  • No buzzwords, no hype. Just practical work that gets you mentioned

“Is this even real or just another marketing trend?”

Fair question. The difference is I can show you proof. I optimize this website for AI right now, and I track the results daily:

  • I'll show you real examples of businesses appearing in AI recommendations
  • You'll see exactly which queries mention your business and which don't
  • We measure everything so you know whether it's working
  • No long-term commitment. If the results aren't there, you stop

I use the AI tools I optimize for

You wouldn't hire a social media manager who doesn't use social media. Same principle.

I build with Claude Code, test visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, and track how AI models reference businesses in real time. This isn't theory. I'm doing AIO on this website right now.

The field is new, and most people selling "AI optimization" are repackaging old SEO tactics. I'm actively building AI-powered tools, testing what makes AI models cite a business, and publishing findings as I go.

I practice what I preach. Every day.

Before you hire anyone

Red flags that scream "run"

AI Optimization is the newest space in digital marketing, which means it's also the easiest place to get sold something that doesn't exist yet. Before you invest in AIO, make sure the person you hire actually understands the field:

They don't use Claude Code, Codex, or the latest tech

AI moves fast. If the person you're hiring isn't actively using the tools they're supposed to optimize for, they're theorizing, not practicing. Ask what AI tools they use daily. The answer tells you everything.

They can't explain what AIO actually is

Ask them to define AI Optimization without using buzzwords. If the answer sounds like a LinkedIn post full of "AI-powered" and "next-generation," they're selling hype, not a service. This field is too new for vague answers.

They treat it like SEO with a new name

AIO requires fundamentally different strategies from traditional search optimization. If they're doing the same keyword work and calling it "AI optimization," you're paying for a rebrand, not a new service.

They promise to "get you into ChatGPT"

No one controls which sources AI models cite. Anyone claiming they can guarantee your business appears in AI responses is overselling something they don't control. That's the same playbook as "guaranteed #1 rankings."

They don't understand how LLMs work

If they can't explain the basics of how AI models retrieve, process, and cite information, they're guessing. This field is too new for guesswork.

They have no measurement framework

AIO is new territory. If they can't explain how they'll track whether their work is actually getting your business mentioned in AI responses, you're flying blind and paying for it.

They're just repackaging content marketing

Writing more blog posts isn't AIO. Structuring information so AI models can understand, trust, and cite your business requires a completely different approach.

They ignore your existing SEO foundation

AIO doesn't replace SEO, it builds on top of it. If they're not looking at your current search presence, technical health, and authority signals, they're building on sand.

They've been "doing this for years"

AIO as a discipline is brand new. Anyone claiming years of experience is either stretching the truth or redefining what they were already doing. Look for honest expertise, not inflated resumes.

AIO Case Studies

Simply works for your small business

AI Visibility That Gets You Recommended

I find out where AI knows you (and where it doesn't), then build the signals that get you cited, recommended, and trusted.

Audit your AI visibility

You see exactly where AI knows you across 6 platforms

I ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini about your business. You get a clear report showing what AI knows, what it gets wrong, and where you're completely invisible.

Optimize your entity signals

AI can actually understand who you are and what you do

Schema markup, knowledge graph optimization, and structured data tell AI exactly what your business offers, where you operate, and why you're credible. Without these signals, AI has to guess. It usually guesses wrong.

Build topic authority

AI recognizes you as the expert in your field

Every month, I build 3-4 content clusters touching 30-40 entities in your space. AI platforms see you consistently publishing expert content about your service and start treating you as an authority worth recommending.

Earn AI-ready citations

Trusted sources mention your business where AI looks

AI pulls recommendations from specific sources it trusts. I get you mentioned on the sites AI actually references: industry publications, expert roundups, and directories. More citations from trusted sources means more confident recommendations.

Monitor 6 AI platforms

Weekly tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini

AI platforms change constantly. What worked last month might not work next month. I check every platform weekly, catch issues early, and adapt your strategy before competitors even notice the change.

Track what turns into recommendations

Monthly before-and-after snapshots showing real progress

I literally screenshot what AI says about you each month and compare it to the month before. No vanity metrics. You see exactly how AI describes you, whether it recommends you, and how that changes over time.

30-day proof period

Measurable visibility gains or a full refund

Give me 30 days. If your AI visibility doesn't measurably improve, I refund every dollar. Month-to-month after that, cancel with 30 days notice. You stay because AI is actually recommending your business.

The investment The investment The investment The investment The investment The investment The investment The investment
How much is it? How much is it? How much is it? How much is it? How much is it? How much is it? How much is it? How much is it?

How much does AI optimization cost?

Google took 20 years to become the default search engine. AI search is happening in 2. The businesses that show up when AI answers "who's the best?" will win the next decade. The ones who wait will wonder where their calls went.

Unlike ads that stop when you stop paying, AI visibility compounds. Six months in, you are not starting over each month. You are building on authority that keeps working.

One package: GET PROMPTED at $2,800/month (or $2,240/month billed annually). That is $93/day. If your average customer is worth $2,800, one AI referral per month covers the entire investment.

Month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days notice. 30-day proof period with full refund guarantee. I earn my place every month.

Common questions

AIO FAQs

Quick answers to help you decide.

AIO makes your business visible to AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini. When someone asks AI "who should I hire for [your service]?" your business shows up as a recommendation, not buried in a list.

SEO gets you ranked in Google search results (the 10 blue links). AIO gets you recommended in AI-generated answers. They are complementary: SEO is where you have been found, AIO is where you will be found. Different strategies, different signals, same goal: customers finding you.

Traditional SEO gets you ranked in Google search results. But more people are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for recommendations instead of scrolling through results. AI pulls from different signals: structured content, entity authority, citations from trusted sources, and factual consistency. If your website is only optimized for Google rankings, you are invisible to AI. AIO fills that gap by making your business the one AI recommends.

Initial visibility improvements typically develop over 60-90 days. Within 30 days, you will see measurable progress: schema markup live, entity signals strengthened, first citations published. Full AI recommendations across platforms usually develop by months 2-3.

Service businesses, B2B companies, and professionals where reputation drives decisions. If people ask AI "who should I hire for X in my city?" you need AIO. Contractors, consultants, lawyers, accountants, healthcare providers, and agencies see the fastest impact because these are exactly the questions people ask AI assistants. E-commerce businesses benefit too, but service businesses get the most immediate return.

SEO alone means you rank on Google, but AI Overviews might answer the query before anyone scrolls. AIO alone means AI recommends you, but when users verify by Googling, they need to find you there too. Both together gives maximum trust and maximum leads.

Three ways: before/after snapshots where I ask AI platforms about you and record responses, citation tracking across authoritative sources, and lead attribution when customers say "AI recommended you." Monthly reports show exactly where and how often your business is mentioned.

Good start. But is the description compelling? Are you recommended first or buried in a list? I optimize how AI describes you, ensure consistency across all six platforms, and keep you visible as algorithms change and competitors catch on.

The businesses that waited to see if "the internet" would take off spent the next decade playing catch-up. Same with mobile and social media. ChatGPT has hundreds of millions of users. Google AI Overviews appear in a growing share of searches. The window for early-mover advantage is now, not next year.

The 30-Day Proof Period exists for exactly this concern. First 30 days, I prove measurable progress. We define what that means together before starting. If you do not see it, full refund. No questions, no hassle.
