Invisible in AI search?

When buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI Overviews "who is the best [service] in [town]?", and your business is never mentioned, you are losing research-stage demand before Google even gets a click.

Does this sound familiar?

  • AI tools recommend competitors but never cite your business.
  • Google AI Overviews answer local queries without linking to your site.
  • Your site has no FAQ schema, llms.txt or extractable facts AI systems can quote.
  • Directory listings and review sites get cited instead of your own domain.

Why this happens

  • No structured, quotable facts. AI systems need corroborating entity data, not marketing fluff.
  • Missing FAQPage, Organization and Service schema on key pages.
  • Inconsistent NAP and weak sameAs profiles (LinkedIn, Clutch, Google Maps).
  • Content not dated or not written in answer-ready format (direct Q&A, clear headings).
