When customers ask AI
who to hire, be the answer.
Ask ChatGPT for “the best [your practice] in [your city]” right now. If it names a competitor and not you, that’s where your next clients are already deciding. Two battlegrounds decide local visibility in 2026: the 3-pack, where click studies put roughly 44% of local clicks — and AI answers, which can cut the top result’s clicks by more than half when they appear. The $497 audit shows exactly where you stand on both, with screenshots.
White-hat only, no ranking promises — growth phase is 4–12 months and we say so upfront. Every claim in the audit carries a screenshot; every recommendation is priced and ordered.
Technical crawl, local-pack position check, AI-answer citation review, and a 90-day plan — priced and ordered, delivered within 48 hours of access. Credited 100% toward any project or retainer within 60 days — you’re not paying twice.

- Your real map position — a maps-grid read on your money keywords, not a single lucky search from your own office.
- The AI-answer verdict — on your 10 money queries: who IS cited today, whether you are, and what the click math says it costs.
- A technical crawl that finds the silent killers — index bloat, broken canonicals, schema gaps.
- A 90-day plan, priced and ordered — run it yourself, hand it over, or have me execute; the $497 credits 100% within 60 days.
Two checks you can run before paying anyone
Do these today — they’re the honest baseline any SEO vendor should survive:
- Search your main service + city from an incognito window (your logged-in results lie to you). Note who owns the 3-pack. That’s who’s taking the calls.
- Ask an AI assistant — ChatGPT, Gemini, whatever your customers use — “who should I hire for [your service] in [your city]?” If a competitor is the answer and you’re absent, that’s the new front line.
- The audit does this systematically: 10 money queries, screenshots, and the exact gaps that decide the citations.
Exactly what’s included
- Local: GBP, citations, reviews, maps-grid tracking on your money keywords
- AI search: answer-block architecture, llms.txt (a site index built for AI crawlers), AI-citation targets, baseline → delta reporting
- White-hat only, no ranking promises — growth phase is 4–12 months and we say so upfront

Before you decide: the full scope & guarantee per audit, and exactly what happens after you pay (2-minute read-only access checklist — no call needed).
Fair questions
Do you guarantee rankings?
No — and nobody honest does. Growth phase is 4–12 months; you see the work log and the movement monthly: rank deltas, maps-grid positions, AI-overview citations. Month-to-month billing keeps the pressure where it belongs — on the results, not the contract.
What actually happens after I pay?
A 2-minute checklist gets me read-only Search Console access. The 48-hour clock starts at access. You get the walkthrough video and the 90-day plan — no call needed, and the $497 credits 100% toward a retainer within 60 days.
We already rank fine on Google. Why care about AI answers?
Because your customers already ask AI — and when an AI Overview appears above your #1 ranking, independent studies show it can take more than half the clicks. The audit measures your citation presence before your competitors buy theirs. Already have an SEO agency you like? Keep them — AI Answers works as a $997/mo layer on top of anyone’s SEO. It’s the part they don’t do.
I paid an SEO agency $1,500/month and can’t tell if anything happened. How is this different?
That story is why every invoice here ships with before/after screenshots: your maps-grid positions, your rankings, your AI-answer citations — not a PDF of “impressions.” Month-to-month billing means the evidence has to keep you, not a contract. And it starts with a $497 diagnosis, not a retainer pitch — if the audit says your current setup is fine, it says so.
My Google Business Profile got suspended. Can you help now?
Yes — that’s a same-week emergency, not a retainer conversation. A suspension takes you off Maps entirely while competitors take the calls; the Fix Sprint ($2,500) handles reinstatement evidence, profile compliance (keyword-stuffed names are the usual trigger), and the hardening that keeps it from recurring. Book below and mention the suspension.
10 audit slots a week — a real cap I hold so every audit lands in 48h. When the week is full, it’s next week.
