Practical advice for local business owners who want to show up on Google and AI search platforms. No jargon. No fluff. Just what works.
You have great reviews, loyal customers, and a solid reputation. But when someone searches Google for what you do in your city, you're nowhere to be found. Here's why it happens and what to do about it.
ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity are now answering questions like "best plumber in Omaha" with specific business recommendations. If you're not one of them, you're losing customers to whoever is.
A gap report shows you exactly where your business is invisible online. Not vanity metrics. Not traffic estimates. Real searches where customers look for you and find your competitors instead.
Google still matters. But a growing share of your potential customers now ask ChatGPT or Gemini for recommendations instead of scrolling search results. The businesses that show up in both win.
Most local businesses make the same SEO mistakes. Missing service pages, no location targeting, zero schema markup. Each one is a leak in your pipeline that sends customers to competitors.
Customers are asking ChatGPT for local business recommendations right now. This step-by-step guide shows you how to check if you appear — and exactly what to fix if you don't.
