Local business marketing: be the name Google and AI give
Of 55 local businesses we checked in September 2026, 50 had no FAQ markup and 30 had nothing in their code saying they're a local business at an address. Local business marketing now means fixing exactly that, so Google and AI tools can read who you are, where you work and what you answer.

What customers search
The service and the place, and a plain question: who does it near them, who's open, who's good. Some now ask ChatGPT the same thing as a full sentence.
What AI answers
A short list of names with a line on each, built from Google Maps, directories, reviews and business websites. Your website is one of those sources, and the only one you fully control.
What we fix
We add the code that tells Google what you are, where you are and when you're open. We answer your customers' questions on your service pages. We get every listing showing the same name, address and phone. Then every month we ask the AI tools the same questions and record who they name.
From a search to a booked job
A customer searches, or asks an AI tool, for a business like yours nearby
Google shows the map results and the AI tool names a few businesses
Your site's code doesn't say what you are or where, and your listings don't agree, so you're left off.
They open your site
They look for the service, the area you cover and a reason to pick you
The page doesn't answer their question, so they go back to the list.
They call, fill in a form or book
No form, or a form nobody sees until the next day.
Job booked
How the three parts apply to your business

Questions from owners
What is an AI visibility audit?
It's a check of whether Google and AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can find, understand and recommend your business. Ours costs $150: we look at your Google Business Profile, your most important page, how it works on a phone and whether the AI tools name you, then we walk you through every finding on a 45-minute call.
What is the difference between the free check and the $150 audit?
The free check reads your website only, automatically, and shows up to three findings in under a minute. The $150 audit goes further: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, where you show up on Maps and what ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity say about you, then a 45-minute call with Owen and a check-in 14 days later.
How fast will I see results?
We don't promise a date, because nobody controls when Google or an AI tool updates what it says. What you get is a record: every month we ask the same questions and write down who gets named, so you can see for yourself whether your name starts to show up.
Do I have to sign a retainer?
No. You can buy the $150 audit on its own, keep the audit and the fix list, and build every fix yourself. If you want us to install it and keep it running, we cover that on the call, and your $150 is credited in full if you start within 30 days.
