How customers find businesses now
Your next customer may ask AI before they ever call you.
Customers used to scroll a list of ten links. Now many ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Mode one question and get one short answer. If your business isn't in that answer, you never get the call.
45%
of consumers now use AI tools to find local businesses.
70%
of local AI citations come from a business's own website and Google Business Profile.

That 70% is where we start, because it's the part you control.

Meet Paul Chargois
I've been early to the internet twice.
On February 14, 1997, I launched SoutheastTexas.com, a regional web portal with free classified ads, seven months before craigslist.com was registered. I watched a new technology change how people found businesses almost overnight.
AI search is that same kind of shift. Customers now ask an assistant instead of scrolling a list. I use AI tools to do the work faster, and I personally review every change before it goes live.
"Software does the heavy lifting. A real person makes the calls."
