AI search visibility for local business

Your next customer just asked ChatGPT who to trust. Whose name came back?

People don't scroll through ten results anymore. They ask AI and get one answer with two or three names in it. I run a real check on your business — the 5-Answer Test — and show you exactly what comes back. Then I fix it.

That's what AI gives your customer. Two or three names, picked in seconds. There's no page two to rescue you.

Ratings don't guarantee a mention. We've checked shops with hundreds of five-star reviews that never appear in a single AI answer.

Every claim in your report is a dated screenshot of a real AI answer about your business. You can run the same question yourself.
The 5-Answer Test

Five real questions. Five real answers. One page that shows where you stand.

This is what AI says when your customers ask who to trust — checked by hand, screenshotted, and dated. Not a software scan. A real person asking the machine real questions about your business.

  • I ask ChatGPT for the best business in your trade, near your town — three separate times, because the answer changes.
  • I ask the trust question: "who can I actually trust with this?"
  • I run the same question through Google's AI — where most of your customers will actually see it.
  • I record who got recommended instead of you, and the review numbers working in their favor.
  • You get the AI Visibility Scorecard: every answer, every screenshot, and the three fixes that change the result.
Free. Yours either way.

No meeting required to get it.

You'll get the scorecard by email. Read it in five minutes, or take fifteen and I'll walk you through it on the phone — including running the questions live so you can watch the answers come back yourself.

No spam afterward. The report, one follow-up, done.

How it works

Test it. Fix it. Watch the answer change.

1

Run the 5-Answer Test

I check what ChatGPT and Google's AI say about your business today. You get the scorecard with screenshots, dated. If AI already recommends you first, I'll tell you that too.

2

Publish what AI can read

Your expertise becomes short videos with transcripts, your Google profile gets aligned with your site, and your reviews start working for you. One 30-minute interview a month is all it takes from you.

3

See it in plain English

Every month: what AI says about you now, the reviews you earned, and the calls and clicks it drove. A one-page report, no dashboards to learn.

The Local Expert System

Everything AI needs to trust you, handled.

AI recommends businesses it can read and verify: published expertise, a consistent profile, and steady reviews. The Local Expert System builds all three — without putting you on camera or at a keyboard.

Expert videos without filming

One 30-minute interview becomes eight to ten short videos a month answering the questions your customers actually ask. Your knowledge, your voice, no camera time after month one.

Published where AI reads

Every video goes to YouTube with a full transcript and gets embedded on your site. That's the searchable proof of expertise AI leans on when it picks who to recommend.

Google profile alignment

Hours, services, photos, and weekly posts kept consistent across your Google Business Profile, website, and listings. Conflicting information reads as "unreliable" to the machine.

Reviews into content

Your best new reviews become branded posts on Facebook, Instagram, and Google — so the kind words customers leave get seen by the next customer, and by the machine.

Every review answered

Steady review requests after every job, and a thoughtful reply to each review within one business day. Review velocity showed up in every AI answer we've captured.

Plain-English reporting

A one-page monthly report tied to what matters: what AI says about you now versus last month, reviews earned, and the booking clicks and phone calls it drove.

Just want the social side?

Your best reviews are free advertising nobody is seeing.

Social media management is where Brent Smith Digital started, and it still stands on its own. I turn the five-star reviews and photos your business already produces into a steady stream of posts — so your page stays alive and your name stays in front of the neighborhood. You never have to touch it.

1

I pull from what you already have

Your reviews, your job photos, your seasonal know-how. We set up your profiles once and build a month of posts from real material — no fluff, no stock photos.

2

You approve in five minutes

Each month I send the full calendar to your phone. You glance, reply "good to go," and the posts publish themselves on schedule to Facebook, Instagram, and Google.

3

You see what it earned

A one-page monthly report in plain English: reach, new followers, review responses, and the clicks and calls it drove. And when you're ready to be the business AI recommends, this plugs straight into the Local Expert System.

Why work with me

A local professional, not a faceless agency.

I'm not an out-of-state agency blasting "AI-powered" pitches at a thousand businesses. I'm local, I work with a small number of clients at a time, and every report I send starts with a check I ran by hand on your business specifically.

By day I work in analytics, which means I care about the part most marketing "experts" skip: did it actually change the answer, and did it bring in calls and customers? You'll always know what your money is doing.

And I work with whoever handles your website today, not against them. My piece is the layer on top — what AI and Google read when they decide who to recommend.

Questions owners ask

Straight answers.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend me?

No, and nobody honest can — the platforms change constantly. What I guarantee is the work: the videos publish, the profile stays clean, the reviews get answered, and you get a dated screenshot every month showing what AI says when someone asks. If it isn't earning its keep, you cancel and keep everything I built.

What does it cost?

The 5-Answer Test is free with no strings. The Local Expert System is a one-time setup plus a flat monthly rate, month to month, no contract. I'll give you the exact numbers before you decide anything — they're on one page.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. You talk to me for 30 minutes a month about the questions your customers ask. That interview becomes your videos. You approve everything from your phone before it publishes.

What happens when AI search changes?

The fundamentals it rewards don't change much: published expertise, consistent business information, and steady reviews. Those are worth having no matter which platform wins. When the platforms shift, the monthly check shifts with them.

I already have a website and someone doing my marketing. Does this replace them?

No. This is the layer they usually don't touch — what AI reads and repeats about you. I work alongside your current site and whoever built it.
