A contractor reading an AI assistant answer on a laptop in a small office

    AI Overview Marketing

    for local service businesses in Vancouver WA and Portland OR

    We repair the public business record the AI assistants your customers use read, so the answer they give names your company instead of the shop down the road.

    From $997 per month

    How do I get my business to show up when someone asks ChatGPT for a contractor near me?

    Assistants answer from public business data, not from ads. They read your Google Business Profile, your website, and your directory records, then name a business whose data agrees with itself. Clean up the categories, services, hours, and phone number across those records and you become the easy answer to give.

    What this actually includes

    AI Overview Marketing means correcting your Google Business Profile, website, and directory records so they agree, then tracking whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and other AI assistants name your business when someone asks for your trade nearby. Pricing starts at $997 a month, no contract.

    Nothing gets fixed until we know exactly what's broken. We pull your Google Business Profile field by field: primary category, secondary categories, every service listed, hours, service area, attributes, description, photos, and the questions strangers have left on it. Then we check your name, address, and phone against your website and your largest directory records and write down every place they disagree.

    From there the work is repair. Categories get set to match the jobs you actually sell. Your service list gets rewritten so each item uses the words an owner or a buyer would type, not internal shorthand. Photos get uploaded with correct file data. Posts go out on a set schedule. Review replies get written and published. Your listing data gets built out across 40+ directories, built in your name — yours to keep.

    Every 30 days you get a geo-grid: a map of pins across your service area showing where your business surfaces and where it drops off. You also get a presence check across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and other AI assistants, showing whether each one names your business and whether the details it repeats are correct. We monitor AI presence and accuracy — we don't claim algorithm access. Google's own Business Profile guidelines set the rules we work inside.

    Who this is for

    This fits an owner who has heard a customer say an assistant recommended a newer competitor instead of a company that has served the area for years. If your online data is thin or contradictory, machines skip you even when your work is better.

    This is for the owner who already knows the game changed. You have watched a customer say they asked an assistant for a roofer and got three names, none of them yours. Your truck has been in that neighborhood for eleven years and a company founded last spring got the mention.

    Roofing and electrical companies feel this first, because their buyers research before they call. A homeowner with a hail-damaged roof types a question, gets a short list, and calls two of the three names. If your record is thin, you are not on the list at all — not because your work is worse, but because your data does not tell a clear story about what you do and where.

    This is not the page for you if you have never claimed your profile or cannot log into it. Start with the free audit instead. It shows your Google Maps position and whether five AI assistants name you before any of this begins.

    How it works

    You start with a free audit, delivered in about 10 minutes with no card required, showing which assistants already name you. Onboarding then repairs profile fields and photos, and every month brings fresh posts, review replies, and a geo-grid refreshed every 30 days.

    First, the free audit. No card, no contract, delivered in about 10 minutes. It shows whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode name you today and who they name instead.

    Second, onboarding. We take the audit findings in order of impact and fix them: profile fields, service list, photos, then citations. Most of that work happens in the first 30 days because it is one-time cleanup, not something to stretch out.

    Third, the monthly rhythm. Posts, review replies, profile checks, and a fresh geo-grid every 30 days. You get a plain report that shows the grid, the assistant check, and what was published. Nothing in it is a projection. It is a record of what was done and what the machines currently say about you.

    You can cancel any month. There is no setup fee and no contract, and the directory listings stay yours if you leave.
