Is AI recommending your business… or your competitor?

I recently got a call from a completely cold lead who lives 2 hours away from me.

They weren’t referred by someone.

They found Arising Co because we were the #1 marketing company recommended to them by Claude.

That is exactly why, since the first week of July, we’ve published 100+ pages across our website.
We’re intentionally building content so we can be found when someone searches through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Google, and wherever search is heading next.

And when I look at a lot of business websites, I see the same problem:

- A homepage.
- A few service pages.
- Maybe a contact page if it's not in the homepage.

And that’s about it.

The business may offer 10 services across 20 different cities, but their website barely explains any of it, and it is that lack of content that is costing businesses visibility.

If Google or AI doesn’t have enough information to understand:

What you do
Who you serve
Where you serve
What problems you solve
Why someone should choose you

…why should we expect it to recommend you?

Your website must become a library of useful information that makes it incredibly easy for both people and AI to understand exactly why your business is relevant.

The businesses building that library now are going to have a serious advantage over the ones that wait.

Not sure if your business is showing up? DM me to find out.

Grateful to serve people like Jennifer Spivey. She founded the Connect Mentoring Network group that provides support, mentorship, and tools for women called to ministry. She had the vision, but not the expertise to execute it. We talked through all the options and settled on a solution that would serve her and the women she serves well (eCommerce platform with Memberships and Online Courses). If you're a woman called to ministry, I recommend checking her offer out (https://connectmentoringnetwork.org)

If you or someone you know has a vision for something requiring an online presence and/or marketing, let me know.

Just adding some interactivity to our homepage showing websites we've designed and developed.

Small interactive elements can give visitors a reason to stay longer, explore more of your work, and understand what makes your business different.

The longer someone meaningfully engages with your website, the more opportunities you have to build trust and move them closer to becoming a lead.

Your website shouldn’t just give people information. It should give them a reason to keep exploring.

You can be losing money by not tracking where your website visitors are going.

When we took on this outdoor living company and pool contractor, their SEO and Website were severely lacking. More than that, there were no proper analytics in place.

We set up the proper foundation to both show them on Google and AI search (for more clients), as well as the analytics to guide us on the website design.

As a result, we learned that people went to two pages almost immediately upon landing on the homepage:

- Portfolio
- About

We revamped the Portfolio page as well as the About page, and in came the prospects.

In their words, we provided them a 34x ROI since first improving their online presence.

If you're looking to having this kind of foundation on your online presence, let's talk.

There I was, reading a book dealing with a topic I hold dear, only to find something wrong the more I read. The author's story was captivating, but the editing of the book held me back from reading further. I stopped on Page 19.

I realized that I have seen the patterns of writing before somewhere, and it finally dawned on me that the book was edited with the use of AI.

Though the story was gripping, I could not bear reading the profuse overuse of words to drive a point, again, and again, and again.

With what Anthropic just announced, maybe, just maybe, this will pave the way for clear distinction between what is AI-made and human-made.

Claude has announced it will be watermarking text generated by its future models to indicate it was AI. Whether there are safeguards in place should someone paste their original content into AI (without AI's intervention) for the user's purpose is yet to be known.

I'm all for it, especially after my experience of reading books that were clearly edited or made with excessive AI usage. A few pages in and I'm ready to put that book down, forever (and never touch the author's future books, though I could be forgiving).

Maybe, just maybe, these reforms will lead us toward less slop filling the interwebs.

The answers to your conversion problems could just be one consulting call away.

Arising Co helped Adoration Music Academy go from 10 monthly website visitors to 6,000 monthly, all through SEO/AI Search and setting up a proper foundation to track this data.

This led to more course sales and memberships, but the analytics were showing low number of conversions.

We met over a consulting call fully focused on conversion rate optimization (CRO).
They then did their homework.

Here are the results from the founder herself:

"We met at the beginning of March, and I have made strategic adjustments every month since. Monthly subscription revenue at the end of April was up 47% from end of February (or 40% from end of March, if you’d prefer to use a 1-month statistic). At the end of July, it was up over 100% from end of February/March."

That percentage leads to huge gains for a website getting 6,000+ monthly website visitors.

If you're struggling to convert online, get in contact with me. You may just be 1 consulting call away from this kind of success.

Most businesses don’t quit SEO because it failed.
They quit right before it starts working.
SEO is rarely a 30-day strategy.

A more realistic timeline looks like this:

Months 1–2: Research, technical fixes, and content planning
Months 3–6: Rankings begin moving and early leads may appear
Months 6–12: Traffic and lead flow become more consistent
Months 12+: Earlier work continues producing results and compounds

The exact timeline depends on your website history, competition, starting point, and how much quality work gets completed each month.

That’s why guaranteed page-one rankings in 30 days should make you cautious.

I broke down what local businesses should realistically expect from SEO and what should be happening each month in a latest article.

How much should SEO actually cost in Orlando?

I put together a straightforward 2026 pricing guide to help business owners understand what they should realistically expect to pay.

Typical monthly ranges:

→ Local businesses: $500–$1,500
→ Competitive small businesses: $1,500–$3,500
→ Multi-location or highly competitive businesses: $3,500–$7,500
→ Enterprise campaigns: $7,500–$10,000+

The cost depends on your competition, service area, website, goals, and the amount of work required to outrank the businesses above you.

The guide also covers what you should receive at each price level, common SEO red flags, and why cheap SEO often becomes the most expensive option.

Most Orlando business owners know they should "do SEO" but no one explains what that actually means without drowning you in jargon. I tend to speak technical, but I gave this more thought so that it's easier to understand.

The Orlando SEO Guide breaks down exactly how local businesses show up on Google:

→ How the local map pack really works
→ Why your Google Business Profile matters more than you think
→ The role of reviews, content, and on-page SEO
→ What to fix first if you're stuck on page 2

If you're starting from scratch or trying to climb higher, check it out.
