A baseline you can check
The buying questions your customers ask, agreed with you and put to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI. Who gets named, what is said about you, and which sources AI leans on.
One job. Be the business AI names.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google who to hire, the answer is a few names, sometimes one. We work to make yours one of them.
The work, in four parts.
Every engagement covers all four, and everything we ship stays yours. What changes is how much each part needs.
Fixes to what AI reads
Crawler access, schema, llms.txt and page titles, plus your business facts made to match across your site, Google Business Profile and directories.
Pages and proof AI can quote
Question-first pages for the jobs you want more of, a plain FAQ, and reviews that name the job and the town.
A monthly report
Same questions, same engines, dated screenshots: what moved, what didn’t, what’s next. Searches for your own name are tracked apart and never count.
Fixes are fast. AI answers are slow.
AI answers take 90 to 180 days to move. Here’s what happens before then.
Week 1
Access and the baseline
We agree the questions and a one-page day-90 scorecard, then record where you stand.
Month 1
Fixes ship
Crawler access, schema, listings and the facts AI repeats about you.
Months 2–3
Pages, proof and mentions
Answer pages, reviews and outside mentions, done steadily.
Day 90
Review against the scorecard
What moved and what didn’t. If AI still isn’t naming you, you get the reason in writing.
Most of the work is ours. A little is yours.
A call in week one, then one a month. Between calls, a quick yes or a fix on what we send.
- Access in week one to your website, Google Business Profile, Search Console and analytics.
- Quick approvals. We send pages and changes for a yes or a fix, not a rewrite.
- A heads-up before a rebuild or a move, so the baseline still means something.
- Your story: the jobs you want more of, the towns you serve, what customers ask on the phone.
Who this is for. And who it isn’t.
A good fit
- Service businesses where customers ask “who should I call?”, like trades and home services.
- Owners who want to see the work and the numbers, not a black box.
- Businesses with real jobs and real reviews to point at, even if the website is thin.
Probably not a fit
- You need leads this week. AEO builds over months.
- You want a guaranteed spot in ChatGPT. Nobody can sell you that.
- You want bought reviews or made-up numbers. We won’t do either.
How does AiM compare?
Trackers show the problem and leave the fixing to you. National agencies publish at volume. Doing it yourself costs hours. AiM does the local work, run by the person you talk to. See the four options side by side.
Questions people ask.
Yes. Call it answer engine optimization, generative engine optimization or AI SEO. The goal is the same: get AI to name and recommend your business. We do the work either way.
Yes. AI reads the same pages and signals Google does. We build one foundation that works for both, so the same work pays off twice.
Fixes ship in month one. AI answers move slower: plan on 90 to 180 days. Anyone promising next week is usually counting searches for your own name.
Access to your website, Google Business Profile, Search Console and analytics in week one, quick yes-or-fix approvals on what we send, and a heads-up before any site rebuild.
The same agreed buying questions every month across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI, with full answers and dated screenshots saved. The method is on our How We Measure page.
