When someone nearby asks ChatGPT for the best plumber, dentist or gym, does it name you?
"Near me" moved into the chat window. The engines answer with two or three business names. We track whether one is yours, and fix what is keeping you out.

Find the gap. Write the page. Your team approves. It goes live.
Answer engine optimization (AEO) means getting named in AI answers. We do it with the publishing built in; most tools stop at the report.
1We find where you are missing
Every week we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google what customers in your area ask, and record who got named.
2We write the content
One brief, one page: what to change, why, and a sourced draft in your voice.
3Your team reviews it
You read it and say yes or no; the owner or manager signs off on every page. Nothing goes live without a person.
4Published, directly or manually
One click to your WordPress site, or we send it to whoever runs your site. Nothing goes live without you.
Then we measure it: every page gets a 28-day scorecard (did the AI start naming you, did Google rank it) and a monthly report you can forward.
What is different in local
1A shortlist, not a list
Google shows ten. ChatGPT names two or three and moves on. Being fourth is invisible.
2Your site is the source you control
ChatGPT reads your website, your Google Business Profile and your reviews. We fix the website first because it is the one you control. Profile and review tracking are not built yet, so we do not report on them.
3Every location, its own loop
Its own questions and its own page, with hours and service area stated plainly. One roll-up report.
What we look at for a local business

- Do ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude name you on "best X in [city]" and "X near me" questions
- Who gets named instead: the franchise, the aggregator, the shop down the street
- Google rank on the same questions, re-read weekly
- Whether ChatGPT is allowed to read your site at all
- Whether your site says plainly who you are, where you work, your hours and your services
- How many of your pages Google has indexed
Every number that moves, on one screen
Google and the AI engines side by side, read weekly. A sample 12-week run at the size of a business like yours:
Twelve years of living on search, now pointed at the answer engines
CiteLoop comes out of HomeLife Media, a publisher that has written, ranked and sold against search for over a decade. Every brief starts from what those pages taught us.
