Sample rows from a real audit of a promotional products distributor in Columbus, Ohio.

Do buyers really ask AI

Your buyers already ask AI.
And more of them every month.

Half of US workers now use AI in their job. The people who order promo products are among them.

48%

of US business buyers use AI to find vendors.

13x

more visitors from AI to US online stores than in late 2024.

60%

more likely to buy: visitors sent by AI, compared with other visitors.

Why start now

Ads can't buy it

ChatGPT has no paid places in its answers. The only way in is what the AI reads about you.

It takes months to build

AI names companies with reviews, listings and clear facts, and those add up over time. The sooner you start, the sooner you're named.

One distributor per region

We work with one distributor per niche in each region. Once a competitor near you starts with us, we can't take you on.

Make sure it names you, before your competitor does.

Why aren't we named

Why AI names them, not you

When a buyer asks, the AI does three things in seconds: it searches, it checks, and it picks. Most companies drop out at one of the three.

01
It searches
It looks up the buyer's question on the web. If you don't come up, you're not in the running.
02
It checks
It compares reviews and listings. If they're thin, or your details differ from site to site, it trusts someone else.
03
It picks
It names the company whose pages answer the question: minimum order, price, turnaround. Where a page is silent, it says “ask directly”.

The AI can't recommend what it can't find, check or describe.
We find where you drop out, fix it, and show you the result every month.

What exactly do you do

What the work covers

Each part fixes one of the three steps where companies drop out.

01

Get found

  • We set up your Google Business Profile the way Google's AI reads it: what you sell, where you deliver, how fast you turn orders around.
  • We get you listed, with the same name, address and phone, on the directories the AI checks.
02

Get trusted

  • We compare your reviews with the companies the AI names, so you know how far behind you are and how many you need.
  • Google's AI quotes what reviews say, like “in no time”. Asking for them is your part: one short message after each order.
03

Get picked

  • On the 10 to 15 pages that matter most, we add your minimum order, prices, turnaround and answers to real buyer questions.
  • We write 1 to 3 new pages for questions your site doesn't answer yet.
Every month

We ask your 20 to 40 buyer questions in ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI and Perplexity. That shows where you're named, who is named instead and what to fix next. You get it all on one page.

Not included: blog posts by the dozen, paid ads, social media, a new website build.

Month 2 onward
Week 1

The audit

We ask your buyer questions in all four AI tools and see who gets named, and why. You get a fix plan, easiest wins first, and your starting score. We also add a “How did you find us?” question to your quote form.

Month 1

The big fixes

We put the facts on your key pages, set up your Google Business Profile and listings, and write 1 to 3 new pages. Nothing goes live until you OK it.

Month 2 onward

Re-test and push

We ask every question again, see what moved and work on the ones you are still losing: a missing fact, a thin profile, too few reviews. You get a report every month.

What we need from you

Most of it is done once, in your first week.
After that, a few minutes a month.

Google access

Full user access to Google Search Console, so we can get Google to pick up your new pages quickly and check that it did. Read access to Analytics, to see the visits AI tools send you. Manager access to your Google Business Profile, which Google's AI reads when buyers ask for a company nearby.

Confirm the facts

We send our changes in one email before they go live. You reply OK or correct them, and tell us when a minimum order, price or turnaround changes.

Ask for reviews

After each order, ask your customer for a Google review.

How will I know it works

How you will know it is working

You don't have to take our word for it. Every month you get one page with three numbers, each next to where you started, plus what we did:

  • Questions that name you. How many of your buyer questions name you in ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI and Perplexity, and who is named instead.
  • Visits from AI. People who came to your site from ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity, straight from your Google Analytics.
  • Calls and quotes. Calls from your Google Business Profile, and quote requests from buyers who say an AI sent them.
  • What we did. What we changed this month and what comes next.

AI answers change from day to day, so you never judge it by one answer.
We count all your questions, the same way, every month.

What to expect
  1. Month 1The fixes, with every change in a log you can see.
  2. Month 2Your first numbers against where you started.
  3. Month 3A clear picture of all three.

Questions

The basics
What is AI search visibility?

When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Claude, Google's AI or Perplexity a question such as "where should I order 500 logo mugs?", the AI writes an answer and names a few companies. AI search visibility is whether yours is one of them.

How does an AI decide which companies to name?

It searches the web for the buyer's question, checks what reviews and listings say about the companies it finds, and names the ones whose pages answer the question clearly: the minimum order, the price at a quantity, how fast they can deliver. Google's AI leans on Google Business Profiles and quotes what reviews say. An answer usually names three to five companies.

Which AI tools do you cover?

Four: ChatGPT, Claude, the AI answers inside Google search (AI Overviews and AI Mode, which run on Gemini) and Perplexity. Buyers use different ones, and the same question can get a different answer in each, so we test all four.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO gets your site onto Google's list of links. An AI answer names a few companies, and a different set of pages wins that. Google's own guide says optimising for its AI features is still SEO, so some of the work helps both. Reviews, page facts and a complete Google Business Profile also help normal Google search.

The work
Do I need to know anything about SEO or AI?

No. We do all the technical work. Your part is small: give us access once, confirm each fact before it goes live, and ask your customers for reviews.

Do I have to give you my login?

No. You add us as an editor on your site, a separate account you can remove any time, or give us your developer's contact if the site is custom. Nothing goes live until you confirm every fact, and every change goes in a log you can see.

Results
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us, or put us at #1?

No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change from one ask to the next, and no one controls them. What we can change is what the AI reads about you: your pages, your Google profile, your listings. We focus on the questions you can win, like your city or your products, and every month you see exactly where you're named.

How long until I see results?

Month 1 is the fixes. Your first numbers come in month 2, and a clear picture by month 3. ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity read your website, so changes to your pages can show within a few weeks. Google's AI leans on your Business Profile and reviews, and reviews come in one order at a time.

We already have an SEO agency. Do I stop using them?

No. Ask them what share of ChatGPT's answers you appear in for your buyers' questions. If they don't track it, we can work alongside them on just this.

Cost and fit
What does it cost, and am I locked in?

$500 a month, one flat fee billed at the start of each month, with no hourly fees or extras. No lock-in: you pay month to month and can stop with 30 days' notice. Give it 3 months, though, because that's how long it takes to see all three numbers. Everything we change on your site stays yours.

What if my competitor already works with you?

Then we can't take you on for the same niche in your region, and we'll tell you before you start. The free list costs nothing either way.

Before you send the form
Is the list really free?

Yes. It shows which questions don't name you today and who is named instead. Whether you hire us after that is up to you.

What happens after I send the form?

We run your questions in ChatGPT and email you the list. If it shows a gap you want fixed, you reply. If not, that is the end of it.
