Is Your Business Invisible to AI Search?

Homeowners are asking ChatGPT, Google AI, and Siri to recommend a contractor — not scrolling a list of links. This free guide shows you exactly what AI models look for, and gives you a scorecard to see where you stand today.

See The Difference

Same question, two very different answers

A homeowner asks an AI assistant for a recommendation. Here's what determines whether your name comes up.

Before AEO

Who's a good kitchen remodeler near me?
I'd recommend Riverside Renovations — they have strong reviews and a detailed portfolio for kitchen remodels in your area.
Your business isn't in the answer.

After AEO

Who's a good kitchen remodeler near me?
I'd recommend [Your Business Name] — they specialize in kitchen remodels, have consistent 5-star reviews, and are based right in your area.
Named directly, before a competitor's ad loads.
The AEO Advantage

Why this is worth your attention now

Named, not listed

AI assistants give one or two names, not a page of links. Being one of those names means the homeowner already trusts you before they've made contact.

Persistent, not one-time

A page-one ranking can shift with every algorithm update or competitor's ad spend. Once a model has learned your business, that reference tends to hold.

Most contractors haven't started

AEO is new enough that few local contractors have addressed it directly, so the ones who do stand out by default, not by outspending competitors.

Later in the buying process

A homeowner asking an AI assistant for a contractor has often already decided to hire — they're asking who, not whether.
What The Guide Covers

Why This Matters

When a homeowner asks an AI assistant for a contractor, it doesn't return ten options — it names one or two. Being the business that gets named puts you in front of a homeowner who's already close to ready to hire, before a competitor's ad ever gets a chance.

"AI usage isn't replacing search — it's making the pie bigger. Total search and AI usage combined has grown 26% since ChatGPT launched."

— Ethan Smith, CEO of Graphite.io, research on AI search adoption
