The Gaps

AI Is Already Answering Your Customers' Questions

The way customers find service businesses is changing fast. Traditional Google searches are being displaced by AI-generated answers — and if your business isn't structured for AI visibility, you're invisible in the channel that's growing fastest.

AI Tools Don't Know You Exist

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews pull from structured, crawlable, authoritative sources. If your site, GBP, and citations aren't set up correctly, you simply don't exist to them.

Missing or Broken Schema Markup

Schema is how you tell AI and search engines exactly what your business does, where you serve, and why you're authoritative. Most business websites have none — or have it wrong.

Inconsistent Business Information

AI tools cross-reference your name, address, phone, and services across dozens of sources. Inconsistencies signal low trust and get you passed over in favour of businesses with clean, consistent data.

No Content That Answers Real Questions

AI cites content that directly answers what customers ask. If your site doesn't have pages that answer 'who is the best [trade] in [city]?' or 'what does [service] cost?', you won't get cited.

Underoptimized Google Business Profile

Your GBP is one of the most-cited sources in AI responses. An incomplete profile — missing categories, services, photos, or posts — costs you visibility in both traditional and AI-driven search.

Thin Review Profile

AI Overviews weight businesses with strong, recent review signals. Businesses with few reviews, no responses, or outdated activity are consistently ranked lower in AI-generated recommendations.

What's Included

What AI SEO Optimization Actually Looks Like

AI SEO isn't a single tactic — it's a set of structural and content decisions that make your business easy for LLMs to find, understand, and recommend.

Schema Markup & Structured Data

We implement JSON-LD schema across your site — LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, BreadcrumbList, and Review schemas. This is the primary language AI crawlers use to understand what your business does, where you operate, and how authoritative you are. Most businesses skip this entirely.

Google Business Profile Optimization

Your GBP is one of the most-cited data sources in Google AI Overviews. We optimize every field — primary and secondary categories, services, service areas, photos, Q&A, and post cadence — to maximize how often your profile gets surfaced in AI-generated answers.

Citation Consistency & Authority Building

AI tools cross-reference your business data across dozens of directories. We audit and correct your NAP consistency across the web, and build citations on authoritative platforms that LLMs draw from when generating recommendations.

AI-Optimized Content Strategy

We create content that directly answers the questions AI tools are asked about your service category — written to match the structure and authority signals that LLMs prioritize when selecting which sources to cite. Think FAQ pages, service explainers, and location-specific content.

E-E-A-T Signal Strengthening

Experience, Expertise, Authority, and Trust are the signals both Google and AI tools use to decide who to recommend. We strengthen your E-E-A-T through author bylines, credentials, real case examples, review volume, and consistent content publishing.

Traditional SEO Foundation

AI visibility is built on top of strong traditional SEO. We handle on-page optimization, title tags, meta descriptions, internal linking, page speed, and mobile performance — because an AI-optimized page that Google can't crawl is still invisible.

Our Process

How We Get AI to Recommend Your Business

A focused four-step process. No long term contracts, no mystery.

01

Audit Your AI Visibility

We assess how your business currently appears to AI tools — schema gaps, GBP completeness, citation inconsistencies, content gaps, and review health.

02

Fix the Foundation

Implement schema, correct your citations, complete your GBP, and optimize your website so AI crawlers can read and trust your information.

03

Build AI-Ready Content

Publish content structured to answer the questions AI tools get asked about your category — creating the citation opportunities that pull your business into AI-generated recommendations.

04

Monitor & Compound

Track your AI visibility alongside traditional rankings, call volume, and lead capture. Adjust content and citations monthly as AI search evolves.

Why HereFirst

Why HereFirst for AI SEO

Most agencies are still catching up to AI search. We built AI visibility into the foundation of how we work — not as an add-on.

AI SEO built in, not bolted on

LLM search readiness is part of every Growth and Dominate plan. Schema, citation consistency, GBP optimization, and AI-ready content aren't extras — they're the baseline.

Built for Indianapolis service businesses

We work exclusively with Indianapolis service businesses. Our content strategy, schema templates, and citation approach are designed around how local trades and home service businesses get recommended by AI tools — not enterprise brands.

Competitive market experience

We've executed in some of the most competitive search environments out there. If we can rank in those markets and get those businesses cited by AI, we can do it in yours.

Calls and jobs — not vanity metrics

We measure success in AI-driven calls and booked jobs. You'll know whether the investment is working because you'll see it in your pipeline — not just in a dashboard full of impressions.
