Most websites still aren't built for the way people search today. AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's new answer engines pull information differently than traditional search—and if your website isn't structured for them, you quietly disappear.
I build websites that AI can understand, trust, and confidently recommend. When answer engines know exactly who you are, what you do, and why customers choose you, you'll be found when customers need your services.
Get ahead now, before your competitors even realize the rules have changed.
Starting now means you lead the conversation while everyone else is still trying to understand what happened. When you build an AI-ready website today, you position yourself as the trusted source these tools learn from first. That early advantage compounds over time—once AI systems lock onto your business as the reliable answer, it becomes harder for competitors to catch up.
If your website isn't built with AI in mind, you're invisible to the tools your customers are using to find businesses like yours. ChatGPT won't recommend you. Google's AI Overviews won't mention you. Voice search won't find you.
Instead of links to 10 businesses on a results page, the AI answer engines will show only one. The other nine will be invisible to the potential customer.
If your business depends on Internet generated leads, expect the lead count to drop. Expect your competitors to bid the price higher on the remaining leads. Your revenue will drop. Your expenses will rise.
Competitors who adapt first will win the customers.
It's not just about design. Your website needs the right technical foundation to be understood and recommended by AI systems.
Google ranks your site based on how it performs on mobile—not desktop.
Over 60% of searches happen on mobile devices. Your site must:
People don't type "plumber Indianapolis"—they ask "Who's a good plumber near me that can fix a leaky faucet?"
AI-ready content answers questions naturally:
Google's AI prioritizes fast, responsive sites. Slow websites get buried—even with great content.
We optimize for Google's Technical Web Vitals:
Schema markup is code that tells AI exactly what your content means—not just what it says.
Without Schema: "John Smith, marketing consultant in Noblesville"
With Schema: AI knows John Smith is a Person, with jobTitle: Marketing Consultant, in addressLocality: Noblesville, with reviews, contact info, service areas, and credentials.
Result: You show up in AI-generated answers and voice search results
AI-optimized content uses simple, conversational language that directly answers questions people actually ask. It focuses on being helpful rather than sounding impressive.
When it's written for people, with simple, straight-forward, easily understood statements, real people and AI Answer Engines both find the answer trustworthy.

Here's what business owners want to know about preparing for AI search
In most cases, we can optimize your existing website to make it AI-ready. That means tightening the structure, cleaning up the content, adding the right schema, and making sure AI systems can understand who you are, what you do, and why customers trust you.
However, if your current site is outdated, confusing, or built on weak foundations, it may be faster—and cheaper—to build a new one that's designed for AI from the ground up. I'll evaluate your current site first and give you a clear recommendation, with no pressure either way.
The goal is simple: get you found, get you trusted, and get you chosen. Whether that means a tune-up or a full rebuild, we'll pick the option that delivers the best results.
Traditional SEO is the foundation that AI-aided SEO builds on. Most local businesses start seeing traditional SEO improvements in 6–12 weeks, depending on how much work the website needs—cleaner structure, better content, faster load time, clearer signals. Those early wins come from tightening the basics.
AI-aided SEO takes longer. Answer engines need time to notice the changes, understand your expertise, and build confidence in your information. That process can take up to 6 months, especially if we're restructuring pages, adding schema, or rewriting content to be more AI-friendly.
The result is worth it: stronger visibility, more branded searches, and more customers choosing you because AI systems recognize you as the trusted local expert.
Yes—if your website gives AI systems enough reason to trust you.
ChatGPT and other AI tools don't "pick favorites." They look for clear, consistent signals of expertise, trustworthiness, and relevance. When your site is structured correctly, uses the right schema, provides clean answers to common questions, and builds a strong reputation online, AI systems are far more likely to include you in their recommendations.
This doesn't happen automatically. Traditional SEO builds the foundation. AI-aided SEO strengthens the signals that answer engines rely on. As those systems learn who you are and why customers trust you, they begin to surface your business more often—and more confidently—in their results.
The goal is simple: make it easy for AI to say, "Here's a local business you can trust."
Traditional SEO helps search engines find and rank your website. It focuses on technical health, clean structure, fast load times, helpful content, and the right keywords. This is the foundation every site needs, and it's what drives the early improvements you typically see within 6–12 weeks.
AI-Ready SEO goes a step further. Instead of optimizing only for Google's crawler, we also optimize for AI assistants and answer engines—the tools people now use to ask questions like "Who's the best HVAC company near me?" or "What's the most reliable accounting firm in my area?"
AI-Ready SEO focuses on:
Traditional SEO helps you get found.
AI-Ready SEO helps you get recommended.
Both matter—but together, they make your website easier for AI to understand, trust, and confidently suggest to potential customers.
Most AI-ready website and SEO projects fall in the $6,000 to $18,000 range, depending on what you need. If your current site is solid and just needs restructuring, cleanup, and new AI-friendly content, the investment stays on the lower end. If you need a complete rebuild—with new pages, improved architecture, upgraded schema, and a full SEO overhaul—it moves toward the higher end.
Traditional SEO is always included, because it's the foundation AI relies on. From there, we add the AI-layer: structured answers, entity building, reputation signals, and the content formats answer engines prefer.
You'll always know the exact scope and investment before we begin. No surprises—just a clear plan to make your website easy for both search engines and AI systems to understand, trust, and recommend.
That's actually the best-case scenario.
If your competitors aren't preparing their websites for AI-assisted search, you get a head start—and in marketing, early movers often win big.
Traditional SEO already gives you an advantage. But AI-Ready SEO widens that gap because answer engines tend to "lock in" early trusted sources. When AI systems learn your business first—and rely on your information—you become the default recommendation long before your competitors know what happened.
This is the moment to move.
If you wait until everyone else is doing it, you're fighting
uphill.
If you start now, you become the business AI trusts, cites, and
recommends.
The businesses that adapt to AI search first will dominate their markets. Your competitors are either already doing this, or they're about to. Don't get left behind.
We'll analyze your current website and show you exactly where you're losing traffic to AI-optimized competitors.
