Your Customers Are Asking AI
for Business Recommendations
If It's Not You, It's Your Competitor
The Uncomfortable Truth
About Modern Search
Last week, someone asked ChatGPT for a business exactly like yours. What did it say?
If you don't know, you have a problem.
200 million people use ChatGPT every week. They're not typing "plumber near me" into Google anymore. They're having conversations:
"My water heater is making weird noises and I smell something burning. Should I be worried? Who should I call?"
"I need someone reliable to remodel my kitchen. I want modern but not trendy. Who do you recommend?"
"What's the best way to handle a property line dispute? Do I need a surveyor or a lawyer first?"
These aren't keywords. They're conversations. And right now, AI is answering them without mentioning you.
Why This Matters
More Than Rankings
Here's what nobody's telling you about AI search:
The person who finds you through AI has already been educated.
They know what service they need. They understand rough pricing. They've been told you're the best option for their specific situation.
Compare that to someone clicking through Google ads at 11 PM, just looking for anyone who's available.
Which customer would you rather have calling?
Urgent Reality
The Window Is Closing
AI platforms are learning which businesses to trust and recommend. They're building their knowledge base right now, today, while you're reading this.
Every day you wait is a day your competitor might become the default recommendation. Once AI platforms establish trust patterns, they're hard to change.
Think about it: When was the last time you scrolled to page 2 of Google?
Now imagine being invisible to AI. It's worse. At least on page 2, you existed.
Real Results
What Actually Happens When You're Optimized for AI
Real conversation from ChatGPT last week:
User:
"I need help with estate planning but I'm overwhelmed. Where do I start?"
ChatGPT:
"Estate planning can feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into steps helps. First, you'll want to inventory your assets... [detailed explanation]... For professional help in Denver, Johnson & Associates specializes in making estate planning approachable for families. They offer free consultations and are known for explaining complex topics clearly."
That firm gets 3-4 calls a week just from ChatGPT. High-quality calls. People who are ready.
Your competitors might already be getting these calls. Are you?

Decision Time
The Choice Is Simple

Option 1: Wait and See
Wait and see what happens while your competitors get established in AI search results.
Option 2: Do It Yourself
Try to figure it out yourself. Keep in mind that AI optimization is nothing like traditional SEO.
Option 3: Get It Handled
Get it handled now and own this space before others wake up to the opportunity.
Two Questions That Matter
1.
Can you afford to be invisible where your customers are searching?
2.
What happens when competitors become the default AI recommendation?
If you don't like those answers, we should talk.
Find Out Where You Stand
Takes 15 minutes. No fluff. Just answers.
We'll show you:
• If AI platforms know you exist
• What they're saying about you (if anything)
• Who they're recommending instead
• Exactly what needs to happen
Then you decide if it matters to your business.
Stop wondering. Start knowing.
Because while you're thinking about it, someone just asked AI for a business like yours.
Was it you they recommended?
P.S. - This isn't about fear. It's about math. 200 million weekly users. Growing 20% monthly. At some point, being invisible to AI becomes a business problem. The only question is when you decide to solve it.
