You don’t need to rebuild your entire website to start improving AI visibility.

Start with one important service and the questions customers ask about it.

A simple DIY plan:

1. Ask several relevant questions in an AI search tool. Record mentions, descriptions, and sources.
2. Review the corresponding page on your website.
3. Add clear answers, accurate business information, and evidence of your work.
4. Check that visitors know how to contact you or request a consultation.
5. Repeat your checks over time. Look for patterns rather than treating one response as a verdict.

The benefit of acting now is that you start learning what needs attention—and can improve steadily.

Your reputation may be stronger than the information people can find about you.

You know your business has the experience.
Your customers know you deliver.
But does your website make that clear?

When someone asks an AI search tool to compare providers, unclear service descriptions, outdated information, and unsupported claims can leave an incomplete picture.

A competitor may be easier to evaluate simply because it explains its services and experience more clearly.

Ignoring AEO means leaving those gaps unchecked—and missing a chance to influence how your business is understood.

Early action gives you time to improve, test, and learn. It doesn’t guarantee a recommendation, but it gives you a stronger foundation.

Here’s a useful DIY exercise:

Choose your most important service page. Can a prospective customer quickly find:
• What you do and where you do it?
• Who the service is right for?
• Evidence of your experience?
• Answers to their main concerns?
• A clear next step?

If those answers are missing, you have a practical place to start.

Smaht! Ideas can help turn that review into prioritized improvements.

Can AI explain why someone should choose your business?

Try asking ChatGPT:
“Which [type of business] should I consider in [location], and why?”

Look beyond whether your name appears. Are your services described correctly? Does the answer recognize what makes you different? What sources does it reference?

One response isn’t a complete assessment, but it can reveal questions worth investigating.

Answer Engine Optimization — AEO — means making your business information easier for AI-powered search tools to find, understand, and use.

The advantage of starting early is practical: you can identify gaps, improve your website, and establish a baseline before you’re scrambling to catch up.

DIY starting point:
• Clearly explain your services and who you help.
• Answer the questions customers ask before buying.
• Support your claims with real experience and examples.
• Keep business details consistent online.

Those improvements help customers today while strengthening your search foundation.

So what can you actually do to help your business show up in AI search?

The good news is you don't need to “game” ChatGPT.

You need to make it easier for AI to find, understand and trust your business.

Here are a few places to start:

1. Make it crystal clear what you do.
Your website should clearly explain your services, products, specialties and the problems you solve—not just use clever marketing language.

2. Make it clear where you do it.
If you serve specific towns, cities or regions, make sure your website actually says so.

3. Answer the questions customers really ask.
AI search is conversational. Helpful FAQs, service information and detailed answers give AI much more context about your business.

4. Strengthen your credibility.
Reviews, testimonials, experience, certifications, associations and other trust signals help establish why your business should be considered.

5. Give search engines and AI the right structure.
Good site organization, structured data/schema and consistent business information help machines understand what all that content means.

None of this replaces traditional SEO.

It's the next layer.

SEO helps people find you in search results.
AI Visibility helps AI systems understand you well enough to potentially recommend you.

And that's exactly what our free AI Visibility Assessment is designed to examine.

What would you ask ChatGPT if you were looking for a business like yours?

09/21/2026

So you asked ChatGPT to recommend businesses like yours... and your business didn't show up.

Now the obvious question is:

Why did ChatGPT recommend your competitors instead?

It isn't necessarily because they're bigger, better—or even because they rank higher on Google.

AI tools are trying to determine things like:

• What exactly does this business do?
• Where does it provide those services?
• Is the information consistent across the web?
• Does the website clearly answer the questions customers ask?
• Are there enough signals to understand and trust the business?

If AI can't confidently understand who you are, what you do, where you do it and why you're a credible choice, it's harder for it to recommend you.

And that's where AI Visibility starts.

I've been analyzing how businesses are positioned for this new kind of search, and the differences can be surprising.

👇 And I'm curious—when you tried Friday's ChatGPT test, did your business show up?

09/18/2026

Try this 30-second test for your business.

Open ChatGPT and ask:

“Who are the best [YOUR TYPE OF BUSINESS] near me?”

For example:

“Who are the best plumbers near me?”
“Who are the best real estate agents near me?”
“Who are the best HVAC companies near me?”

Now look at the businesses ChatGPT recommends.

Is your business there?

And here's the more interesting question:

If it isn't — why did AI choose those businesses instead of yours?

That's something I've been spending a lot of time studying lately.

People aren't just searching Google anymore. They're asking ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI tools to recommend who to call, where to go and what to buy.

And ranking well on Google doesn't necessarily mean your business will be one of the companies AI recommends.

Try the search for your own business.

👇 Tell me in the comments: Did you show up?

If you don't — or you're curious about why you did — I've also built a free AI Visibility Assessment that looks at how well your website and business are positioned for AI search.

I'll put the link in the comments.

But try the ChatGPT test first. I really want to hear what you find.

09/17/2026

Your customers aren’t just Googling anymore.

They’re asking ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini and other AI tools questions like:

“Who’s the best contractor near me?”
“Where should I buy this?”
“What company would you recommend?”

The question is: Is AI finding and recommending YOUR business?

You can have a great website and even rank well on Google—but that doesn’t necessarily mean your business is showing up when people search with AI.

That’s why we created the FREE Smaht! AI Visibility Assessment.

We’ll take a look at how well your business and website are positioned for AI search, identify what may be holding you back, and show you where there are opportunities to improve.

No cost. No pressure. Just useful information about how your business is showing up in the new world of AI search.

09/08/2026

Your next customer may not search Google and scroll through ten websites.
They may simply ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI, or Perplexity:
“Who is the best company near me for this?”
The question is no longer just whether your website ranks. It’s whether AI can understand your business well enough to include it in the answer.
