Is Your Business Invisible to AI?
When someone asks ChatGPT "Who are the best marketing agencies in Tampa?"—is your business mentioned? Or is AI recommending your competitors instead?
By 2026, experts predict 25%+ of search queries will be handled by AI assistants instead of traditional search engines. Businesses that aren't optimized for AI search are already losing ground—and most don't even know it.
The businesses that optimize for AI search NOW will dominate the next decade.
Signs You're Losing to AI Search:
- ✗Your business doesn't appear in ChatGPT or Perplexity results
- ✗Competitors are getting cited by AI assistants and you're not
- ✗Your content isn't structured for AI comprehension
- ✗You have no schema markup or entity optimization
- ✗Your SEO strategy hasn't been updated for AI search
- ✗You're only tracking Google rankings, not AI visibility

Search Is Changing. Are You Ready?
AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google SGE are fundamentally reshaping how people find businesses. Instead of scrolling through ten blue links, users are getting direct answers—and AI decides which businesses to recommend.
If your content isn't optimized for AI comprehension, you're invisible to the fastest-growing search channel in history.
You need to be optimized for BOTH traditional search and AI search to future-proof your business.

How AI Search Works
Understanding the difference between traditional SEO and AI optimization.
Traditional SEO
- •Ranks web pages by relevance
- •Users click through to websites
- •Focus on keywords & backlinks
- •Traffic measured in clicks
- •Results shown as blue links
AI Search Optimization
- •AI synthesizes answers from sources
- •Users get answers without clicking
- •Focus on entities & comprehensiveness
- •Success measured by citations
- •Your brand mentioned in AI responses
The key insight: You need BOTH. Traditional SEO still drives most traffic, but AI visibility is growing fast. We optimize for both to future-proof your business.
