AI Search Optimization

When someone asks AI for a business like yours, be the answer

Get your business recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and Perplexity. Works with the website you already have. No rebuild, no contract, and built by an AI engineer rather than a marketing agency.

The problem

Three names, with reasons. Those three get the call.

Your next customer may never Google you. They ask ChatGPT for "a good family dentist near Vienna" or "who does custom kitchens in McLean" and get three names, with reasons. Those three get the call.

AI engines don't rank pages the way Google does. They recommend businesses they can read clearly, verify from several sources, and quote. A site that was built for Google in 2017, or never really built for search at all, is close to invisible to them. And you never see it happen: there is no analytics line for "recommended someone else."

What's included

Setup in two weeks, then every month after

Setup, in the first two weeks
  • A baseline report. What the five engines say today when asked 15 to 25 questions your customers actually ask, and which competitors they name instead.
  • Structured data that AI can trust. Your business, services, locations, people and FAQs described in the machine-readable format the engines read.
  • An answer-first content hub on your own domain (for example insights.yourbusiness.com): pages written so an AI can lift the direct answer, published on infrastructure I control, so nothing on your existing site needs to change.
  • Indexing wired up. Bing Webmaster (what ChatGPT search reads), Google Search Console, and IndexNow so every new page is announced the minute it is published. An llms.txt file and a crawler policy that welcomes the AI engines.
  • Your Google Business Profile made consistent with your site and your hub, because mismatched hours, names and addresses are the most common reason an engine skips a business.
Every month after
  • Weekly checks of your question panel across all five engines, tracked over time.
  • One new answer-first article a month, on a question the checks show you are missing, reviewed with you before it goes live.
  • Monitoring of which AI crawlers visit your pages and how often.
  • A one-page monthly report: the questions you now appear in, the ones you don't yet, and what happens next. Written by me, not generated.
Pricing

One plan, no contract

FeatureAI Search Optimization
Setup$750, one time
Monthly$149
ContractNone. Month to month, cancel any time
Works withAny website: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, custom, or a Managed Website from Imhauser Technologies
What you need to doAdd one DNS record, share access to Google Business Profile and Search Console, and spend 30 minutes with me on your customer questions

On a Managed Website the same plan goes further, because the structured data and answer-first content live inside your pages rather than beside them.

What I don't do

No link networks, no paid directories, no fake reviews

No link networks, no paid directories, no fake reviews, no bot-written Reddit replies. These are common in this business and they are the things that get a company filtered out later. Everything here is content and structure that would be worth having even if AI search did not exist.

Who this is for

Where a recommendation is the sale

A good fit
  • Established local businesses and practices in Northern Virginia where a recommendation is the sale
  • Professional firms, medical and dental practices, tutoring and schools
  • Designers and builders, restaurants and venues, advisors
  • Businesses that already have a website they are not ready to replace
  • Owners who want a monthly report they can read in two minutes
Not a fit
  • Businesses with no reviews and no track record yet
  • Anyone expecting a guarantee

No one can promise what an AI engine will say; what I can do is make you the business it is most likely to find, understand and cite.

Why an AI engineer

Built by someone who builds with these engines, not just around them

I have built production AI systems on Microsoft Azure, including a full practice-management platform, and I work with these engines every day. I know what they read, what they ignore and how they decide who to cite, because I build with them, not just around them. That is a different starting point from an agency reselling a tool.

FAQ

Questions owners ask

Do I need a new website?

No. The content hub runs on a subdomain of your domain, on infrastructure I manage. Your existing site stays exactly as it is. If you later move to a Managed Website, everything carries over.

Which AI engines are covered?

ChatGPT (including ChatGPT search), Claude, Google Gemini and AI Overviews, Grok and Perplexity. The panel is re-run weekly on all of them.

How fast will I see results?

Structural fixes are picked up within days. Recommendations typically start shifting in 30 to 60 days and keep improving as the hub grows. Anyone who promises faster is guessing.

Is this the same as SEO?

It overlaps. Good structure and clear content help both. The difference is that AI engines want a direct, verifiable answer they can quote, while Google wants a page that ranks. This plan is built for the first and helps the second.

What do you need from me?

One DNS record, manager access to your Google Business Profile and Search Console, and 30 minutes to agree on the questions. After that, about ten minutes a month to approve the article.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time. The hub content is yours and I hand it over.

Is there a guarantee?

No. Nobody controls what an AI engine says. You get a measured baseline, a monthly report against it, and the freedom to stop if it isn't moving.
