Six concrete things we do to put you inside the answers AI engines hand back to your future customers.
Generative Engine Optimization — restructuring your content so large language models can quote it cleanly in their answers.
Active outreach and structured-data work that gets your business named, linked and cited inside AI-generated responses.
A fully-tuned GBP with the right categories, attributes, posts and Q&A — the single most-quoted source AI uses for local.
Hand-written JSON-LD so search engines and AI crawlers know exactly what your business is, where it operates, and what it offers.
Topic clusters and locally-relevant pages that build the citation surface AI needs to confidently recommend you over a competitor.
We track exactly when, where and how AI engines mention you — month over month — so the work is measurable, not theoretical.
A four-step engagement. We work in 6 to 12 month cycles — giving your business the time it needs to build real, lasting visibility and results.
Run your business through every major AI engine. Score where you currently appear, where you're invisible, and what your top three competitors are doing differently.
A short, plain-English plan: the categories, queries and citation sources we'll target, and the order we'll fix them in. No 40-page decks.
We rebuild the structured data, profile, content and citations that move the needle. Hands-on — not handed off to a team in another country.
Monthly visibility reports across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. We adjust what's not working and double-down on what is.
Same business, same market, two very different outcomes once AI takes over the answer layer.
The average client who completes our 90-day program reaches an 87% AI Brand Visibility Score across the four major engines — measured by how often, and how prominently, they're cited in answers to category-level questions in their service area.
Score blends mention frequency, citation accuracy, recommendation strength, and geographic relevance.
Within sixty days ChatGPT was actually recommending us by name when people asked about HVAC in our zip code. We've never had that before. Phone calls jumped roughly forty percent.
I asked Perplexity for the best boutique in Soulard and our shop came up first with a clean two-line write-up. That used to feel like wizardry. River City Digital made it routine.
The monthly visibility report is the part I didn't know I needed. We can finally see whether we're winning or losing the AI conversation — and adjust before it costs us bookings.
