Get found on ChatGPT.
People are asking AI who to hire. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google for a business like yours in the Okanagan, a few names come back · and the rest are invisible. I do the work that puts your name in the answer.
What you get.
An AI-readable website
AI tools do not look at your website, they read its code. I build and retrofit sites with LocalBusiness schema, FAQ markup, and answer-first structure · the machine-readable layer that tells ChatGPT and Google exactly what you do, where you do it, and what you charge. Most Okanagan sites have none of this.
Answer-first content
AI engines quote direct answers, not marketing copy. I write your pages the way customers actually ask · 'how much does a website cost in Kelowna,' 'who does social media management near me' · with plain, specific answers the AI can lift word for word. Specificity is what wins the citation.
AI crawler access
ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity each send their own crawlers, and plenty of websites block them without knowing it. I configure your site to explicitly welcome every major AI crawler · GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended · so the tools can actually read what we built for them.
One consistent story everywhere
AI tools cross-reference before they recommend. Your name, address, phone, services, and prices need to match on your site, your Google Business Profile, Facebook, and every directory. One consistent story reads as trustworthy. Mismatches read as risk, and the AI quietly leaves you out.
Reviews and proof signals
When an AI decides which three businesses to name, genuine reviews are one of the clearest signals it has. I build a steady, real review flow and wire the proof into your site, so both Google and the answer engines see a business other people already trust.
Google AI Overviews
Over half of Google searches now show an AI answer above the results, and it pulls heavily from pages already ranking in the top ten. AEO and local SEO are one job done right: the same structure and content that ranks you also feeds the answer box above the rankings.
Proof: this site
I practice this on my own business. Every page on bryceelliot.com carries the structured data, answer blocks, and FAQ markup AI engines read, and the site explicitly welcomes every major AI crawler. What I sell is the same construction I run · not a theory I read about last month.
Pricing
AEO is built into every website I ship (from $1,950) and into my SEO service (from $650 a month, included in the $1,250 and $1,950 monthly packages). No separate AEO invoice · it is how I build, not an add-on.
Why this matters right now
Hundreds of millions of people ask ChatGPT things every month, and more than half of Google searches now show an AI answer before any website link. When that answer names three Kelowna businesses, those three win the customer and nobody else was ever in the running. This is where 'just Google it' went, and most local businesses have not noticed yet.
That is the opportunity. Almost nobody in the Okanagan is doing this work, so the businesses that build clean structure, consistent information, and genuinely useful content now are the ones the AI will keep recommending for years. Ask an AI about your business today · if you do not like the answer, that is fixable, and the free check will show you exactly where you stand.
And it is one job with everything else I do. “Bryce takes care of our website, photography, social media, and ads. It is great having one person who knows our business inside and out,” is how Kelowna Flooring Superstore put it. The same person who films your reels and builds your site is the one making sure the AI can read all of it.
Answered, plainly.
What is AEO (answer engine optimization)?
AEO is the work of getting your business named inside AI answers · ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. Traditional SEO gets you onto page one. AEO gets you into the answer itself, which people increasingly read instead of clicking anything. It is also called GEO (generative engine optimization) or AI SEO · same job.
How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT?
Give the AI clean, consistent, machine-readable signals: LocalBusiness schema on your website, content that directly answers the questions customers ask, a name, address, and phone that match everywhere online, an active Google Business Profile, and genuine reviews. AI tools pattern-match against the most trustworthy sources they can read · the work is making your business one of them.
Is AEO different from SEO?
It is built on the same foundation, aimed at a second audience. Everything good local SEO does · structure, consistency, reviews, useful content · also feeds AI answers. AEO adds the machine-readable layer and answer-first writing that AI engines specifically reward. I do both as one job, because doing them separately makes no sense.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
Directly: I ask the tools. Before we start, I query ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google about your service in your town and record what comes back. Then we track how those answers change as the work lands, alongside AI-referral traffic in your analytics and your rankings and map-pack position on Google, since those feed the AI answers too.
What does AEO cost in Kelowna?
It is included, not an add-on. Every website I build (from $1,950) ships AI-readable from day one, and my SEO service (from $650 a month) carries the ongoing AEO work · content, consistency, reviews, and tracking. If you just want to know where you stand, the AI visibility check is free.
