Local SEO + AI Search
You're on Google Maps. But has ChatGPT ever heard of you?
Most local businesses are half-invisible — they show up on Maps but AI has never heard of them, or the reverse. We make you the name that comes back on both: the Google Map Pack and AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. One stack, grounded in your real search data, live in five days. See our AEO foundation.
Free Local Visibility Check
We'll check your Map Pack position, your Google Business Profile, and whether ChatGPT and Gemini recommend you today.
No obligation. We research your local + AI visibility, then present findings and recommendations.
There are now two ways customers find you
And most local businesses only win one of them. The businesses winning right now show up in both — the default recommendation everywhere a customer looks.
Google Maps & the 3-pack
Still where the phone calls and "near me" searches happen. But the local 3-pack is competitive, and a half-built Google Business Profile quietly keeps you out of it — wrong categories, thin description, no recent posts, inconsistent phone numbers.
AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity)
Increasingly where people ask "who’s the best [service] near me?". AI answers from structured data most businesses have never set up. No LocalBusiness schema, no AI files — no mention in the answer.

Frequently asked
It is one engagement that wins both ways customers find a local business: the Google Map Pack (Google Maps and 'near me' searches) and AI engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity). We install your Google Business Profile foundation, LocalBusiness schema for each location, consistent citations, and the three AI files (llms.txt, agents.txt, robots.txt) — grounded in your real search data, live in five days.
A normal Local SEO package gets you onto Google Maps and stops there. The same structured data that wins the Map Pack — a complete Business Profile, LocalBusiness schema, consistent NAP — is also what AI engines read to answer "best [service] near me". We set it up once so you win both surfaces. Most agencies do Local or AEO; we do both.
No honest agency can — local ranking depends on Google’s algorithm and physical proximity, which nobody controls. What we guarantee is the install quality (complete profile, valid schema, consistent citations, real-data content) and we baseline and track your rank so the movement is visible. We tell you which keywords are realistically winnable in 90 days, not fantasy ones.
A Google Business Profile completeness audit and optimisation (categories, services, description, hours, Q&A, photos); LocalBusiness JSON-LD schema for each physical location matched to your live Google rating; a NAP and citation consistency check across the directories that matter; a Map Pack baseline with a competitor comparison; and a review-generation flow plus a 90-day post calendar.
Yes — multi-location is a core fit. Each location gets its own LocalBusiness schema block (never merged), its own Map Pack baseline and its own Business Profile review. Pricing scales by location. Our anchor case is a multi-location service business across two countries.
That is the opportunity — the more neglected the profile, the bigger the before-and-after. We score it on Day 2 and either fix it (with manager access) or hand you a precise action list. Low review count is fixable: the Pack includes a review-generation flow, and review velocity is one of the strongest Map Pack levers.
The files and schema are read on the next crawl. Map Pack movement and AI re-grounding build over days to weeks — Gemini usually moves first because it is closest to Google Maps data. That ongoing climb is what the Growth Partner retainer is for: posts, reviews, Q&A and monthly tracking.
Start with a Local Visibility Audit from $300 to see exactly where you stand. The full Local + AEO Pack is from $2,000 for a single location; the Multi-Location Pack is from $4,000. The Growth Partner retainer (GMB posts, reviews, Q&A, monthly Map Pack and AI tracking) is from $1,500/month with a 6-month minimum.
