Google, Maps and AI answers now work as one shortlist. That's why one plan covers all three.

Most numbers on this page come from BrightLocal, a company that sells local marketing software. We link every study so you can check the method yourself.

The problem

Homeowners make a shortlist before they call anyone

Someone with a leaking roof, a broken AC or a kitchen to remodel asks Google, checks Maps, and more and more often asks ChatGPT or Claude. Each one gives back a few names. If yours isn't one of them, the job goes to someone else, and you don't find out why.

The good news: AI answers draw on the same sources as Google Maps. That's your website, your Google Business Profile, your reviews and your listings. We fix those and make them easy for AI to read.

How it works

One plan for Google Maps, AI answers, and your website

Found, understood, chosen: one plan covers all three, with one report a month.

  1. Found

    Show up on Google and Maps

    We fix your Google Business Profile, listings, and review flow first, then your service pages: the local SEO basics that AI answers are built on.

  2. Understood

    Give AI answers the right facts about you

    We publish answer-first pages from your real jobs and make your facts clear and consistent everywhere, so AI assistants like ChatGPT can describe you correctly.

  3. Chosen

    Turn the visit into a call

    We make it obvious what you do, where you work, and how to book, with the reviews and job photos that help a homeowner pick up the phone.

    See the full process

Every month we run your buyer questions again across the AI assistants we test (currently ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity), compare the answers with last month, and send you a plain-English report: what we did, what changed, and what's next.

AEO, GEO and LLMO for home service companies

You'll hear three names for overlapping work. For a roofer, a plumber or any other home service company it comes down to one job: when a homeowner asks an AI assistant who to call, your company comes up, with the right facts.

We do all three together with local SEO, because AI answers lean on the same Google, Maps and listing data.

How AI search optimization works

Home service SEO by trade

What your customers ask before they call

Pick your trade to see three questions from the set we run for it. A plumber's questions differ from a roofer's, so each trade gets its own. The same questions work for any US city.

Your trade

Before they call an HVAC company

Example buyer questions

  • My AC stopped working. Who can come out today in Atlanta?
  • How much does a new AC unit cost installed in Columbus?
  • Honest HVAC company in Dallas that won't push a new system I don't need

Questions owners ask us

What is AI search optimization, and is it the same as AEO or GEO?

Mostly, yes. AI search optimization (also called AI SEO, AEO for answer engine optimization, or GEO for generative engine optimization) means making your business easy for ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, and other AI assistants to find, understand, and recommend. For a local company it sits on top of local SEO: the same website, Google Business Profile, reviews, and listings that drive Google Maps. We do both in one plan.

Why does ChatGPT recommend my competitors instead of me?

Usually because the web says more about them. AI assistants build local answers mostly from business websites, Google Business Profiles, reviews, and directories like Yelp and BBB. If a competitor's site answers the question clearly and has recent reviews, while your services are buried in photos or your details don't match across listings, the AI has less to go on. Your free check starts with a hand review of your website and Google Business Profile. The $49 report runs the buyer questions and shows who gets named.

What exactly do you guarantee?

The work in your plan. Every month we do the work your plan lists, and your written report shows each item we shipped, with a link or a screenshot. As-needed items, like technical fixes, are done when there's a real need. If a month ever falls short, tell us and we'll make it right.

What does it cost, and how long do I have to sign up for?

Plans are $750, $1,250, or $2,500 a month. Custom plans for 5+ locations start at $5,000. There's no minimum term: plans run month to month, and you can cancel any time. Month one sets up your profile, listings, key pages, and critical fixes, and in month three you get a written before-and-after comparison. If you're not ready for a plan, start with the free check.

Where are you based, and which states do you work in?

We're a remote team in Europe, and the company is operated by SELFOIA SRL in Romania. We work with home service companies anywhere in the US. The work is the same in any state. We don't have, or pretend to have, an office in the US. Calls are booked online and held on Zoom, your Google Business Profile and listings stay in your name, and every answer and change we report is dated so you can check it yourself.
