Three things,
done obsessively.

SVC_AEO

AI-Visible Websites

Your website engineered to surface when prospects ask AI systems about your category. Built for ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Gemini, and Perplexity — the answer surfaces where your next customer is deciding. Most service-business websites are invisible to AI — we build yours to show up in the answer.

Engineered for Google AI Overview visibility
Engineered to be understood by AI as a real business in your category
Structured for ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini surfacing
Complete coverage across every city you serve
Monthly citation reporting — we show you the actual ChatGPT and Google AI screenshots proving your business got cited, not vague "we optimized it" updates

[:002:]

SVC_SHOPIFY

Custom Shopify Themes

Every AI-visibility feature we build into our service-business websites, baked into a custom Shopify theme from day one. No theme in the Shopify Theme Store ships AI-ready — the common workaround is stacking third-party apps at $50–300/mo each that slow the site and clutter the admin. We engineer it into the theme. No app tax.

Same AI-visibility engineering as our websites, built into the theme
No third-party apps required — no $50–300/mo app tax
Sub-1s Time to First Byte (impossible with app-stack themes)
Custom product logic (bundles, configurators, upsells)
Native drop countdowns — set a launch date, the buy button becomes a live timer that auto-flips to purchase when the drop goes live

SVC_AUTOMATION

Customer Automation Layer

While the AI citation layer compounds over months, the automation layer pays for itself starting week one. Missed-call text-back, review capture, unified customer inbox, pipeline tracking — running under your brand, wired into your site. Most service businesses lose leads to voicemail and forget the review follow-up — this layer handles both automatically.

Missed-call text-back in under 60s
Automated review capture sequences
Unified inbox (SMS, email, FB, IG, web)
Pipeline + reporting — your brand, your data
Replaces $150–400/mo of separate tools — CRM, review software, SMS platform, and unified inbox all wrapped into one managed service
