Just took the AI Visibility Score? This guide walks through every gap the quiz checks: your Google Business Profile, reviews, business info, website and content, with the exact steps to fix each one, in order.

Why this matters

Your customers are asking AI for a short list. Is your name on it?

People used to scroll through a page of websites. Now more of them ask ChatGPT or Google's AI for "the best plumber near me" and get a few names back. If AI can't find clear, consistent information about your business, you're not on that list, even if you're great at what you do.

The good news: the fixes build on what you already have, most of them you can do yourself, and most local businesses haven't started yet.

Who's the best HVAC company in [your town]?
Here are a few well-reviewed options:
  1. [Competitor A]
  2. [Competitor B]
  3. [Competitor C]
Where's your business? This guide shows you how to get on that list.
