Get found by AI · Central Florida trades
Your customers are starting to skip Google and just ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google’s own AI: “who’s a good plumber near me?” The answer names a few shops — and quietly skips the rest. I make sure yours is one it names.
What changed
For twenty years, getting found meant ranking on a page of links people scrolled through. That’s changing fast. More searches now end with an AI writing a single answer that names just a handful of businesses — and never shows the rest. Being on page one doesn’t help if the AI never reads your name aloud.
The old way
You fought for a spot on a list. The customer scrolled, compared, and clicked around. Being anywhere on page one still got you seen.
What’s happening now
The customer asks once and gets a short answer naming two or three shops. If you’re not one of them, you were never in the running — and you’ll never know it happened.
What the audit covers
I find out where you stand with the AI assistants today, fix what’s holding you back, and hand you a plain before-and-after. Here’s the work.
I put your actual customer questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, Google’s AI, and Copilot and record whether you come up — and what they say about you when you do.
Your name, services, service area, and hours written into structured data the assistants can read cleanly — plus making sure AI crawlers aren’t locked out of your pages.
The questions your customers actually ask, answered in plain, liftable language on your own site — the exact shape these systems pull from.
Your Google Business Profile and directory listings made consistent — same name, address, phone, and services everywhere the assistants look to confirm you’re real.
A plain-English report: where you stood before, what I changed, and where you stand after. No jargon, no smoke.
The honest version
Anyone who promises you the top spot on ChatGPT is selling smoke. Nobody controls these answers and they change. What I do is set your business up the way these systems reward, fix what’s actively holding you back, and show you the measurable difference. Same honest deal as good SEO — do the right things well, and you earn your place.
Questions
More and more people skip the list of ten blue links and just ask an AI assistant — ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, Gemini, or Copilot — “who’s a good plumber near me?” The assistant gives back a short answer that names a few businesses. Getting found by AI means being one of the few it names, instead of one of the many it skips.
Regular SEO fights for a spot on a page of blue links a person then scrolls through. AI search collapses all of that into one written answer that names just a handful of businesses. That answer is built from clean, machine-readable facts about your business and from what other sites say about you — so the work is different: structured data the AI can read, plain answer-style pages, and consistent listings across the web.
I ask the major AI assistants the real questions your customers ask — “best handyman in Apopka,” “emergency plumber near Winter Park,” and so on — and see whether you come up and what they say about you. Then I check the machine-readable details on your site (business name, services, area, hours, structured data), whether AI crawlers can read your pages, how answer-ready your content is, and whether your Google Business Profile and directory listings all agree.
A plain-English before-and-after: where you showed up (or didn’t) when I started, exactly what I fixed, and where you stand after. Plus the fixes themselves — structured data added to your site, answer-ready pages for your top questions, and your Google Business Profile and directory listings lined up so the assistants quote you right.
No — and be careful with anyone who does. AI answers change and nobody controls them. What I can do is make sure your business is set up the way these systems reward, fix the things actively holding you back, and show you the measurable difference. It’s the same honest deal as good SEO: do the right things well and you earn your place.
Yes — I work with trades across Central Florida: Orlando and Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, Volusia, Brevard, Polk, Marion, and Sumter counties. The whole thing can be done remotely, and I’m bilingual — English or Spanish.
Let’s talk
Call or text and I’ll check, on the spot, whether the AI assistants name your business when customers ask. If there’s room to do better, I’ll tell you straight what it takes. No jargon, no hard sell.
