AI search visibility for local businesses
People now ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI for the best dentist, roofer or lawyer in town, and get back three or four names instead of ten links. Great reviews don’t put you on that list. We show you exactly where you stand, then make your business the one AI recommends. One business per category per city.

We check your visibility across the engines customers use:
Our research
We asked ChatGPT and Google's AI for the best business in 12 categories across 8 Dallas–Fort Worth cities, then checked every top-rated business on Google Maps against what the AI said.
96
local searches run through ChatGPT and Google's AI
1,379
top-rated listings checked (4.6★+, 60+ reviews)
40%+
of them named by neither ChatGPT nor Google's AI
Try it for your own business: ask ChatGPT for the best <your category>in your city. If you’re not in the answer, a competitor is getting that customer first. The names also shift week to week, which is why staying in the answer is ongoing work.
The shift
One answer, not ten blue links. If your business isn't in it, the competitor who is gets the call.
Gartner projected roughly a quarter of search activity would move to AI answers and chatbots by 2026, and a growing share of searches now end without a single click. People get one answer and act on it.
You can’t buy your way into an AI answer with ads, and reviews alone don’t do it. The businesses getting recommended are the ones the engines can read, verify and trust. That’s what we build.
And the AI-referred customer is worth more: they convert up to about 4.4× more often than a regular search click (Semrush, 2025). The AI already did the comparison, so they show up ready to buy.
The questions that decide who gets hired
We show you who the AI names for each of your questions, and work to make it you.
How it works
Three steps to owning the answer in your market.
We put the real questions to ChatGPT, Google's AI, Gemini and Perplexity (“best roofer in Frisco,” “top divorce lawyer in Plano”) and record exactly which businesses each one names.
Who gets recommended instead of you, on which engine, for which question. The actual answers your customers are reading, dated and reproducible, so you can check them yourself.
We publish the content AI engines quote and build the presence across the web they check before recommending anyone, all grounded in facts you approve. Then we re-check every month so you stay in the answer.
Why it works
AI engines reward accurate, trustworthy sources and ignore the rest. So we never invent anything about your business.
Grounded in your facts
Everything we publish comes from one source of truth you approve: your services, pricing, credentials and real history.
Checked before it goes live
Every claim is checked against your facts. Anything unsupported gets cut. No made-up results, no inflated promises.
Built for how AI reads the web
Your site and your presence across the web, shaped the way answer engines find, verify and quote businesses. Not generic SEO filler.
What you get
A dated before-and-after
We capture the AI answers before we start and re-check every month, so the change is yours to verify.
A monthly visibility report
Which customer questions you now appear for, on which engine, and which competitors you've passed.
Nothing for you to manage
You approve your facts once. We do the work and keep checking.
Pricing
Start with a free report, try it once with the Sprint, or go straight to becoming the recommended answer.
The math most owners run: one new dental patient, legal case, roof or HVAC install is worth thousands, so a plan usually pays for itself with about one new customer a month.
For context, a full-service marketing agency runs $2,500 to $7,500 a month and an in-house marketer $5,000+. Renownly is a flat fee with no ad spend, focused on the one channel that’s growing: being the business AI recommends.
To be clear about what we sell: we report and improve your visibility in AI answers. We don’t promise customers or revenue. That math above is yours to run.

See it work first: one service, one city, no monthly commitment.
Become the business AI recommends, then stay there.
Own the answer for every service you offer.
Not your typical agency
Month to month, no contract. Cancel any time. We keep your business by staying useful, not by locking you in.
You work directly with the founder. No account managers, no outsourced content farm.
One business per category per city, because the AI answer in your market is zero-sum. Getting you named means working against whoever holds that spot now, so we never take on your local competitor.
Verified facts only. We never invent a claim about your business. Everything we publish is grounded in facts you approve.
No fake guarantees.Nobody controls what the AI says, so a “recommended in 30 days or your money back” promise is a red flag. We guarantee the work and the monthly proof.

Questions
No. SEO gets you ranked on a page of links. Answer Engine Optimization gets your business named inside the one answer ChatGPT or Google's AI gives back, which is increasingly where customers decide before they ever click. Both matter. Very few local businesses are working on the second one yet.
Often not. In our own research, most of the highest-rated local businesses weren't named by ChatGPT or Google's AI at all, while other businesses were. Reviews help, but the AI decides from what it can read and corroborate across the web. We close that gap.
Local businesses where one new customer is worth real money: dentists and orthodontists, law firms, roofers, HVAC and plumbing companies, foundation repair, med spas and plastic surgeons, chiropractors, vets, and more. If people ask AI who to hire in your category, we can help.
Never. Everything we publish is grounded in facts you approve: your services, pricing, credentials and history. Anything your own facts don't support gets cut before it ships.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Nobody controls what the AI says and the answers shift week to week. We guarantee the work and show you dated before-and-after captures every month, so you can see the movement yourself.
The free report costs nothing. The one-time Sprint is $497 for one service in one city. Ongoing plans start at $2,200 a month, month to month. For most of the businesses we work with, one new customer a month covers it.
A free report: the real answers ChatGPT and Google’s AI give for your category and city, who they name instead of you, and the fastest fixes. No credit card, no call required.
Everything we publish is grounded in your verified facts.
