For owners of established businesses with a WordPress website
Be the business AI names when a buyer asks who to hire.
Every change your AI SEO agency makes here serves that one result, and builds on the Google rankings you already have.
You rank on Google and your business is doing fine. Yet when a buyer asks AI who to hire, it names a competitor, and you never see it happen.
For an immigration law firm in Seattle and Vancouver, visits from ChatGPT went from 4 in July 2026 to 75 in September 2026. Over the same months, Google clicks rose from 142 a month to 831.
Phil Belleville, the founder, has done SEO since 1995, takes your call and leads your work.
No account access needed. No obligation to buy.
Your monthly report shows rankings and traffic, but never the answer a buyer read before calling someone else.
That buyer asked ChatGPT, or read the answer in Google’s AI Overviews above the search results and never clicked through, and called the business it recommended. Sometimes the AI-generated answer even gets your business wrong and lists services you’ve never offered.
Maybe you hired an AI SEO firm and got the same traditional SEO services with AI added to the name. Or you picked one from a list of top AI SEO agencies and paid for more posts each month. Volume is easy to bill, but it doesn’t tell AI who you are. And your report may have shown an AI visibility score going up, with no record of which questions were asked or when, so there was no way to check it.
AI names the businesses whose facts it can check, and nobody you pay today has looked at why it picks your competitor instead.
The first fix is usually one master record of your business that holds your name, address, phone, services, areas and credentials, each checked against a public source. You approve it once, and every page, profile and listing is built from it, so AI systems find the same facts wherever they look.
AI Search Engine Optimization found that a pain management clinic in Missoula had 12 separate business records. They were merged into one on August 21 and 22, 2026. One day later, Google’s measure of how sure it is which business this is, its Knowledge Graph confidence score, jumped from 29 to 75. Contradictions like those 12 records are what stop AI models from naming a business with confidence.
At a mobile outboard repair business in Fort Lauderdale, an award and a certification no public source could back up appeared 582 times on the site. All 582 came down in August 2026. In the same weeks, its average Google position on six commercial searches went from 8.0 to 2.5.
Phil Belleville has done SEO since 1995 and once sold a website that held more than 900 top Google rankings. He takes your first call and leads every engagement personally from that call on, with no account manager in between.
Phil founded AI Search Engine Optimization and built the system it runs on. He approves every page before a USA-based team of nine installs the changes. Where AI tools help draft your content, Phil decides what each page claims.
“After trying 3 SEO companies in the past, and paying money for promises, I finally found this company. My website started to work literally after the first month of their work.” A client of more than a year.
“He helped set us on an amazing path, gave us specific actions to take, and taught us a lot as well.” A roofing company.
“They did a massive clean-up of our site (which was a mess from our previous SEO firm), and we were back on page one within the first two months.” An owner who came from another SEO firm.
These owners hired Phil at his other SEO agency, and their reviews are quoted word for word. Same Phil, now leading your AI SEO work here.
Seven businesses, their numbers before and after, and where each number comes from.
Law firms.
Immigration law, Seattle and Vancouver
Its site drew 123 AI citations on October 13. On July 1 the count was 21.
In one week of August 2026, its pages went from 3 references to official government sources to 69, so AI has a public source to check its facts against.
Special education law, statewide in California
Of the 26 searches it tracks statewide, it now ranks in Google’s top three for 11, up from 1 in September 2025. Six of them rank first.
September 2026 brought 221 clicks from Google, against 156 in July.
Family law, Montana
In September 2025 it held 4 of its 70 tracked map searches in Google’s top three. By March 2026 it held 53.
Clicks from Google hit 100 in September 2026. In July there were 57.
Health and local services.
Wellness spa, Montana
On July 1, 34 AI answers cited the spa’s site; by October 13, 2026, 142 did.
In July 2026, Google sent it 224 clicks. In September it sent 346.
Paint protection film, England
On October 13, its site was a source in 98 AI-generated responses, more than four times the July 1 count.
Five weeks, July 30 to September 5, 2026, took it from 8 searches at first place in Google’s map results to 75.
National firms that sell across the United States.
Cell tower lease consulting, nationwide
In January 2026 it had no searches in Google’s top 10. By September it had 30.
Monthly Google clicks grew by more than half between July and September 2026, reaching 111.
Communication systems manufacturer
ChatGPT sent it 50 visits in September 2026, up from 31 in July.
On July 18, 2026, 52 of its 342 tracked searches sat in Google’s top 10. By August 26, 89 did.
A card’s AI citations are AI search results that cite the client’s site as a source, counted by Ahrefs on July 1 and October 13, 2026, across seven AI platforms: Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Grok. Visits and clicks compare July with September 2026, from each client’s Google Analytics and Search Console. Ranking figures and their dates come from each client’s published case study. The charts use the same sources, named here so you can check them yourself. Phil Belleville led the work behind each result.
One system runs the whole engagement. It researches first, then scores your site against the businesses AI already names.
It sets the order of work, makes each change on your WordPress site, tests it live, then asks AI the same questions again to see what moved.
Before we touch a page, our keyword research finds the bottom-of-funnel searches your buyers make right before they choose a business, which come first, then the longer questions they type into ChatGPT and which businesses AI names in reply.
We build your master record here too, because everything else rests on it.
If a much bigger rival is the one AI names, we’ll tell you plainly whether you can beat it, even when the answer is no.
We run nine checks in a fixed order against the competitors AI already cites. They cover technical SEO, such as whether search engines reach your pages or two pages compete for the same search, and whether AI systems can read and understand your site. We grade each check against those competitors.
If you have more than one location, we keep what your locations share and show what sets each one apart.
Then you get one plan, as a document. It lists every page your site will have and what each must contain. It also flags the facts that need your confirmation and sets the order of the work, with the reason.
We build each page with original copy backed by your records, FAQs, structured data, links and images, written in short passages AI can quote whole.
Then we install it on your WordPress site and check it live.
On your call, Phil can walk you through the full method on your own site.
| What owners say they were sold | What we do instead |
|---|---|
| Traditional SEO with a new name, and more blog posts. | We fix your business facts first, on your site and across the web. |
| “Vanity metrics dressed up as results.” | We give you each count with its source and its date. |
| “A disconnect between sales and the team that was going to do the work.” | The people who study your site also change it, and there’s no account management layer. |
| A great first report, then nothing anyone acted on. | We install the changes in the plan on your WordPress site. |
| A 90-day termination clause, and less contact every month. | We work month to month, with no long-term contract and 30 days’ notice to stop. |
Whoever you hire, these five things should belong to you. With AI Search Engine Optimization, they do.
You keep your logins and accounts the whole time. A before-and-after record of each page we touch means any change can be undone, and everything built on your site stays yours when you leave.
We guarantee the work, not a mention. No one can promise what ChatGPT will say. We can promise that every change in your scope gets installed, tested on your live site and reported to you.
This AI SEO service is right for you if you own a business with a WordPress website and your buyers research before they call. It suits you best if you like to check the results yourself.
The work is for law firms, clinics and spas, home service businesses, and consultancies and other firms that sell to businesses nationwide. Phil leads it from Phoenix, Arizona, for businesses across the United States.
Every month you wait is a month of buyers asking AI who to hire and hearing someone else’s name.
The next step is 30 minutes with Phil Belleville on a free call. You leave knowing what to work on next, whether or not you go further, and you get a written scope and price before any paid work.
On the call, Phil can open the source behind any figure on this page. All of them were read on October 13, 2026.
No account access needed. No obligation to buy. We don’t send cold email.
AI SEO engagements start at $1,000 a month, with no setup fee. The first month is billed before work starts, and your price is set on the call. We do not publish a price list, because two WordPress websites rarely need the same work.
Prefer the phone? Call (712) 635-7879.
Your SEO company works on rankings and traffic, and we do that work too, from keyword research to technical SEO. We also put your buyers’ questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google’s AI Overviews and Google AI Mode, and save each AI-generated answer with its platform and date. Then we fix the facts on your site and across the web that those answers rely on.
Ask each one for a dated before and after from a business like yours, with the source behind each figure, and ask who will do the work after the sale. A top AI SEO agency on someone’s list can still be the wrong fit, because no list knows your business. The best AI SEO agency for you is the one that can show you that record on the first call.
ChatGPT and other AI engines recommend the business whose facts they can confirm, and right now that’s your competitor. Its name, services and credentials may agree in more places across the web, more outside sites in your field may mention it, or AI’s crawlers may read its pages more easily. The diagnosis shows which of these is holding you back, graded against that competitor.
ChatGPT and other AI tools can draft a page fast, but they can’t do this work alone. Drafting with them is fine: Google’s own guidance of February 8, 2023 allows appropriate use of AI. What they can’t do is check your facts against your records or install and test a change on your site. They won’t find the outside sites AI reads, either, or prepare the pitches for them.
The name is new, and part of the work is the traditional SEO you already know, which Google says still applies to its AI features. The other part is sometimes called AI search optimization, answer engine optimization or generative engine optimization (GEO). It gets your facts to agree wherever AI looks, so AI answers can name you, and counts the answers on the same questions before and after each change.
Yes. Every business on the results cards above gained in Google, in clicks or in rankings. Rankings and AI visibility both shift as Google and the AI models update, so your rankings are tracked daily and checked on the same days as ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews. You can see whether the page Google ranks is the page ChatGPT quotes.
You can leave on notice and take your site, logins and reports with you. Nothing is layered on by a script that disappears when you go, because the work is written into your site. Before work starts, you choose which kinds of change need your sign-off.
A small business can be a good fit, because what matters is whether your buyers search before they call. The clients on this page range from a wellness spa in Montana to a manufacturer selling nationwide. If you serve a local area, a tenth check maps where in that area you show up on Google’s map and where you don’t.
Not sure which one you need? Ask Phil on the call.
