Want to Show Up in ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Search Results?

Here are 5 quick steps to help you get found in AI-powered search:

1. Fully Optimize Your Google Business Profile
Make sure every section is complete — services, products, categories, business description, and more. Don’t leave anything blank.

2. Add City Pages to Your Website
Create a dedicated page for each city or area you serve. This helps search engines and AI understand where you work.

3. Use Structured Data (Schema)
Each page of your website should have proper schema code in place. This makes your content easier for AI to understand and recommend.

4. Post Regularly to Your Google Business Profile and Website
Share updates like service highlights, answers to common questions, seasonal tips, or special offers. Consistent content signals that your business is active and trustworthy.

5. List Your Business on Trusted Directories
Ensure your name, address, phone number, and website are consistent across major business directories. Focus on reputable platforms, not low-quality or spammy ones.

If you want a list of trusted directories or have questions about showing up in AI search, feel free to reach out. Always happy to help.
