Monthly AI Recommendation Check
Every month we ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI the same questions your next client might type. You see exactly what AI says about you and your competitors, and what changed since last month.
AEO Management
Stay the recommended business. Month after month.
AI search isn't a one-time fix. Your competitors are optimizing. Reviews drift. Directories go stale. We actively manage everything AI reads about your business every month, so your AI visibility keeps building instead of quietly eroding.
The risk of standing still
Your competitors aren't waiting for you to catch up.
Every month you're not actively managing your AI presence, someone else is. New businesses in your city are getting optimized and entering the recommendation pool. AI models update. Listings drift. Review velocity slows. The businesses that stay at the top of AI recommendations aren't just good businesses, they're actively maintained ones.
- A competitor gets optimized and starts appearing in AI recommendations above you
- Listing details drift out of sync, and AI treats inconsistency as a reason to skip you
- Review velocity slows and your credibility signals weaken month over month
- AI model updates shift which businesses get recommended, so standing still means sliding back
What we do every month
Six areas of active management
Content Built to Be Cited
AI tools recommend businesses they can reference with confidence. We write one piece of content per month specifically structured to answer the questions AI gets asked about your category, not just readable for humans, but citable by AI.
Google Business Profile
Your GBP is one of the first things AI reads when deciding who to recommend. We keep it active, specific, and consistent, the kind of listing AI treats as a signal of a trustworthy, operating business.
Listing Accuracy
AI cross-references your business details across dozens of directories. One inconsistency, like a different phone number or an old address, is enough to make it uncertain about recommending you. We sweep 30+ directories every month and fix what drifts.
Review Building
AI weighs review volume, recency, and platform diversity when deciding who to recommend. We identify which platforms matter most in your category and run the follow-up system that keeps reviews coming in consistently, not in bursts.
Review Responses
AI reads your review responses as credibility signals, not just your reviews. We write responses within 48 hours in a voice that sounds like you, substantive enough to reinforce the trust signals AI looks for, not just generic acknowledgements.

Common question
"I already did the Foundation Build. Why do I still need this?"
The Foundation gets you into the recommendation pool. Monthly Management keeps you at the top of it, and keeps you there as the pool changes. Your competitors aren't standing still. New businesses get optimized every month. AI models update. Review counts shift. The businesses that stay recommended treat AI visibility as an ongoing practice, not a one-time project. Most clients who do the Foundation Build and then go dormant start sliding within 3–6 months. Monthly Management is how you prevent that.
Book a Strategy CallWho this is for
Right for you if any of these apply
- One lost client or patient per month costs more than a retainer, so this pays for itself
- You completed a Foundation Build and want to protect and compound that investment
- You already have a solid website and GBP, and you just need the ongoing management handled
- You don't have in-house marketing and don't want to think about this
- Your category is competitive and standing still means falling behind
What clients notice over time
Compounding results, not a one-time lift
Clients who stay on active management consistently report their 'AI recommended you' call frequency increasing over the first 3–6 months.
- Calls and bookings from people who say "AI recommended you", that's the signal it's working
- Reviews keep building steadily instead of stalling after the initial push
- Monthly reports show your gap over competitors growing, not shrinking
- When AI models update, you stay in the pool, because active management is what protects that
Common questions
Questions about AEO Management
Do I need to have done a Foundation Build first?
No, AEO Management is available as a standalone service if your foundation is already solid. If you have a well-structured site, a properly set up Google Business Profile, and consistent citations, we can take it from there. If those things are missing, we'll tell you honestly and recommend the right starting point.
Is there a minimum commitment?
We ask for a 3-month minimum to give the work time to compound. AI visibility builds over months, not weeks, and a single month rarely tells the full picture. After that, it's month-to-month. We don't believe in locking clients into long contracts.
What does reporting look like?
A monthly summary covering: your AI recommendation position across key tools, review counts and velocity, GBP activity and engagement, listing accuracy status, and notable competitor movements. Everything is in plain English, with no dashboards showing 40 metrics you have to decode.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes, after the initial 3-month period. We ask for 30 days notice so we can wrap up active work cleanly and hand off anything you'll want to maintain yourself.
What if I don't have a Foundation Build from you?
No problem. We'll assess your existing foundation in the first month and flag anything that needs attention. If there are gaps that will limit results, we'll be direct about it and explain the options, because we'd rather tell you upfront than bill you for work that won't move the needle.
Next step
Every month without active management is a month your competitors can close the gap.
