Buyers ask Google who to call. Now they ask AI too. I'm the SEO consultant who makes your business the answer. [Send your brief](/work#send-your-brief) A map of the files that run my own business. - 1 Find What Google and AI say about you now - 2 Fix The pages and facts they pull from - 3 Own The record becomes your AI system Your files. They stay with you when you change tools. ## Either you come back as the answer in Google and ChatGPT, or a competitor does. The question a buyer asks has not changed since I started in search in 2013: who does this, near me, for what price. What changed is who answers. Google still does, now with an AI Overview above the links. ChatGPT answers too, from whatever it can read about you. The trade sells the fix as AI SEO services. I call it fixing the source. One SEO consultant answers for the whole job. AI agents, run in parallel, do the volume; I review every output before it ships. I find what Google and ChatGPT read about you. I fix the pages and the facts they pull from. Then I put the record in files you own, so the fix holds when you change tools. ## Two jobs: website and search, or one AI function. Website and search. Owners of small service businesses who want the fix, not the report: trades, clinics, real estate teams, agencies, shops. Your site is old, slow, or not showing up. I fix the pages and the facts Google and AI read, with local SEO setup, on a domain you own. The four [SEO consultant services](/seo), scoped per job. [Website scope and terms](/work#site-build)[Prices and terms](/work#prices-and-terms) One AI function. Teams of 5 to 30 people where leads come in faster than one person can route them by hand. One owner who can decide. One recurring job, such as lead follow-up, runs from files you own, with a person at both ends. [AI operations](/ai-systems)[Prices and terms](/work#prices-and-terms) Neither one requires the other. Both start with the same [six-question brief](/work#prepare-your-six-question-brief), which is free to prepare. What happens first. - 1. I read the brief. If a detail is missing, I email you for it. - 2. I send the written scope: the result, the material, the exclusions, the fixed price, and the checks. - 3. You decide. Nothing starts and nothing is due until you accept it in writing. [Send your brief](/work#send-your-brief) ## What to ask an AI SEO agency. What you keep here. Before you hire a provider, check who owns the working files, who reviews the work, and what you keep when the contract ends. I sell a written scope with a fixed price. The method is public, under an open license, and you can read it before you pay. I run the AI agents and review their output myself. When the job ends, you keep the pages, the record, the rules, and the receipts. [Read the architecture](https://github.com/b2bvic/owned-record) ## What the AI answer said before the fix, and after. Synthetic example. Not a client result. The question a buyer asks "Who repairs heat pumps in [town] and do they come out on Saturday?" Before The site said "Serving the whole region." The hours page said Monday to Friday. The AI answer named a competitor and said this shop was closed weekends. The fix One service-area page with the towns named. Hours on every page, with Saturday emergency calls stated. Schema markup to match, so Google and the AI read the same facts. After The AI answer named the shop, the towns, and the Saturday rule. The record holds the one current version of each fact. ## Same AI. Same job. Only one knows your business. Synthetic example. Not a client result. Not a measured model score. The job Write this week's update to a customer from what is on file. Your files say - You serve customers within 30 miles of your shop. - The job is waiting on one part. No finish date is confirmed. - The customer asked for texts only, before 6 p.m. Without your files We serve customers anywhere in the state. Your job finishes Friday. We will call you tonight with an update. - Says you do work you don't do. - Promises a date nobody set. - Ignores how the customer asked to be reached. Checked against your files Your job is waiting on one part. We will confirm a finish date when it arrives. We will text you before 6 p.m. with any change. The correction that stays on file Texts only, before 6 p.m. Every future draft starts from it. ## How you get found in AI search, and what you own after. 01 Find the gap I run the questions your buyers ask and note which business comes back, what it says about you, and which pages it pulled from. The gap between that and the truth is the job. You see: the questions I ran, which business came back, and the pages it pulled from. 02 Fix the source Most of what AI repeats about a business comes from its own pages and a few listings. I fix the pages, the facts, and the structure they pull from. Every claim gets one current version. You see: each page before and after, and the one current version of each fact. 03 Write the record Your facts, prices, service area, and rules go into readable files you own. The site is built from them. So is any AI you point at them. You see: the files, in a folder you own, open in any text editor. 04 Put it to work When you want more from those files, they run your first in-house AI function: a lead follow-up draft or a lead routing rule. A person sets the direction and a person checks the result. You can also start with the AI system. [AI operations](/ai-systems) You see: one run, its draft, and its receipt. Every step, with what you see at each one, is on [how generative engine optimization works](/how-it-works). ### What you own when the work is done. 0 1 get found → 0 2 own the record → 0 3 run the system Pages that answer the question pages + facts + structure Pages written to the questions buyers ask, with the facts and the structure Google and AI answers pull from. On your own domain. The visibility stays with you when you change vendors. The record behind the pages facts + corrections + approval rules Your facts, prices, service area, corrections, and approval rules in readable files you own. The pages are built from them. Any AI you point at them reads them first, so a correction you give once holds. The system, when you want it one function at a time + people at both ends The same record runs an AI function inside your business, one at a time. A person gives the direction, the system does the middle, and a person checks the result before anything leaves the business. Every automated job leaves a dated record of what it read and what it did. You own it, and you keep it when you change models. Files: yours AI models: named, and you can change them ### Check the evidence before you hire me.

One decision maker. Real customers, a service area, and facts worth getting right. Most of this is local SEO consulting: the buyer asks "near me" and the answer names one shop. The written scope names the pages, fixes, or AI function to deliver and the acceptance checks. There is no promise of leads, search rankings, or AI-answer positions. Not sure? [Run the free AI visibility check](/check) on your own site first. ## Website and AI function prices. What you keep. Small business websites cost $1,500 to $2,500 with SEO setup. Gallery, CMS, or multi-location websites cost $3,500 to $5,000. Every connection to another system is an add-on, listed in the written scope before you pay. Each AI function is priced in a written scope, set by the size of the team and the work. You see the full scope and the fixed price before you pay anything. At handoff you keep the pages, the record, the rules, and the receipts. [Send your brief](/work#send-your-brief) ## The AI tools change. The record stays yours. ### What you own Every engagement ends with readable files, a finish line, and your approval rules. Every automated step writes a receipt naming what it read, what it did, and which model answered. Nothing sends, publishes, books, or spends without you. [Read the open-source repository →](https://github.com/b2bvic/owned-record) ### What runs where You own the files. I name each service the AI runs on. Today the AI models run on hosted services. Yours - Your current facts, approved pages, approval rules, and corrections stay in readable files you own: the [business memory](/articles/business-memory-for-ai-agents-guide) every AI you use reads from. - Every search fix, website job, and AI function starts from them. Hosted, and labeled - The AI models run on hosted services today. - This page says so until that changes. ### What this buys you Nothing extra today. If you later want the system on your own hardware, the files move with it. ## Start with the question your buyers ask most. ### Before you send a brief. - Not for a business that wants a ranking promised, a report with nothing fixed, or an AI that sends on its own. - The person you email scopes the work, runs the agents, and checks every output. - Website work includes two revision rounds. Additional changes need another written scope. [Send your brief](/work#send-your-brief) One email when a new tool or guide is published. No follow-up series.
