The groundwork that makes everything else work.
Search engines — and now AI assistants — can only recommend a business they can read. This is the week where yours becomes readable. Done for you, in 5–7 days.
I don't take a client I haven't looked at first. The audit is free, and it comes with no obligation.
Why this first
There are two ways to get recommended. This buys one of them outright.
One — reviews
ChatGPT and Google's AI Mode lean on review volume. In our own scan of the Des Moines metro, the lowest-reviewed business they'd name had 163 reviews. That gap takes months of steady work to close. There's no shortcut, and I won't sell you one.
Two — being readable
The other engines name businesses they can find, parse and cite — clean listings, structured data, real presence in the directories they read. That isn't a matter of time. It's a matter of setup. That's this.
We scanned 411 Des Moines businesses. 59% sit below the review line where AI search starts naming names. Most are also invisible on the second path — which is the half you can fix this week.
What you get
Seven things, done for you. You don't need to learn any of it.
Google Business Profile, fully optimized
Primary category, business description, hours, services, attributes, and Q&A — set up the way Google expects to read them.
LocalBusiness schema installed
Structured data on your site that tells search engines and AI assistants exactly what you are, where you are, and what you do.
Name, address, phone made consistent
Audited and corrected across the top 10 directories — Google, Yelp, Bing, Apple Maps, Facebook, Foursquare, Yellow Pages, BBB, Angi, Nextdoor.
A managed build of ~20 core citations
Your business listed, correctly, in the directories these engines actually read. You get the full list of live links.
Apple Business Connect + Bing Places
Claimed and verified. Two places most local businesses never think about, and where a surprising number of customers still start.
A review request template
Email and SMS, written for your business, ready to send. Reviews are the slow half of getting found — this starts the clock.
A 30-day action checklist
Exactly what to do after setup so the work compounds instead of sitting idle. Handed off when the work is done.
What this doesn't do
I'd rather tell you now than have you find out later.
- It won't get you named by ChatGPT on its own. If you're well below the review line, this doesn't leap you over it. It makes you readable — so that when the reviews come, they land on something that works.
- It doesn't buy rankings. Nobody can promise those, and anyone who does is guessing with your money. Google decides. What I control is whether your business is set up correctly — and that part I guarantee.
- It isn't a retainer. One payment, one week, and it's yours. If you want the ongoing work afterward, we can talk. If you don't, the setup keeps working without me.

5–7
business days, start to finish. You'll know exactly when it's done.
This isn't a report about work I say I did. It's a list of things you can open in a browser. That's deliberate — you shouldn't have to take my word for any of it.
The guarantee
All seven components in 7 business days — or you don't pay.
If I don't deliver all seven within seven business days, or you're simply not satisfied with the work, I refund you in full. No questions, no forms, no awkward conversation. Both conditions are mine to control — which is why I'm comfortable putting them in writing.
Let's look at your profile first.
15 free minutes. I'll pull up your listing, show you where you actually stand, and tell you honestly whether this is worth $397 to you. If it isn't, I'll say so.
