What we do

Get Recommended
by AI.

AI assistants don't rank ten websites. They read what's written about your business across the web, decide who fits the question, and recommend a few names. If your information is thin, inconsistent or hard to read, you get skipped, even if you're the best option in Ames.

We fix that. AEO gives AI systems clean facts, clear answers and trusted third-party proof, so they can recommend you with confidence.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still curious? Send us a question and we'll get back to you.

Do you offer AEO in Ames?

Yes. We help businesses in Ames and across the Des Moines area get recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews.

Why isn't AI recommending my Ames business?

Usually because the facts AI finds are thin or inconsistent: different hours on different sites, a service area that doesn't mention your town, or reviews that don't describe what you do. Those are all fixable.

Should my website mention Ames specifically?

If you serve Ames, yes. AI matches questions like “who can fix my furnace in Ames” to businesses that clearly say they serve Ames, with real details about the work they do there.
