What I do

Your full GEO audit, done for you.

A 77-signal framework built for the era of AI-powered local search — covering every platform that recommends local businesses.

AI Visibility Audit

We check how — and whether — AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are citing your business across 77 signals.

NAP & Data Consistency

We cross-reference your name, address, and phone number across directories, your website, and Google Business Profile — and flag every mismatch.

Competitor Benchmarking

See exactly where you stand versus your top local competitors — with side-by-side signal scores and a clear gap analysis.

Schema & Structured Data

AI engines rely on structured data. We audit your schema and deliver ready-to-paste JSON-LD code so you can fix issues the same day.

Citation & Directory Audit

We scan 40+ directories to identify missing listings, duplicate entries, and inconsistent data that suppress your AI citation rate.

Actionable Report & Roadmap

Every audit delivers a prioritized action plan — not just a score. Clear next steps ranked by impact, with no technical jargon.

Key findings

Phone number mismatch — GBP vs. website 781-860-9618 on website · 781-675-3485 on Google Business Profile. AI engines treat these as two different entities.
Missing LocalBusiness schema No structured data on the homepage. AI tools cannot confidently extract business type, service area, or hours.
Incomplete Yelp & Bing listings Business hours missing on Yelp. Bing Places not claimed. Both are actively scraped by Perplexity.
Strong Google review signals 4.8★ across 112 reviews. Review recency and response rate both above industry benchmark.

Opportunity gap

Fixing the NAP mismatch and adding schema markup alone could move Company A from 60% → 71%, placing them above both local competitors.
