AI Visibility Partners

Generative engine optimization · Remodeling & design-build

When homeowners ask ChatGPT who to hire, does it say your name?

Probably not, and we can show you exactly what it says instead. AI Visibility Partners helps remodeling, design-build, and interior design firms get found, cited, and recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.

Exhibit A · Illustrative ChatGPT answer Austin, TX

Prompt

“Who is the best design-build firm for a kitchen remodel in Austin?”

Answer

Here are some good places to start your search:

  1. Houzz: browse vetted Austin kitchen remodelers with photos and reviews.
  2. Angi: get matched with up to four local pros.
  3. Yelp: see top-rated kitchen contractors near you.

I'd recommend contacting three to five firms and comparing bids.

Three directories cited. Not one Austin firm named.

Illustrative answer, typical of what these prompts return. Your audit hands you 25 real ones, logged, screenshotted, and dated.
78%
of independent local service firms have effectively zero AI citation share (2026 study)
14% vs 3%
AI-referred visitors convert at ~14% vs ~3% for classic organic search
−61%
organic clicks drop ~61% when an AI Overview answers instead

What is AI visibility optimization?

AI visibility optimization (GEO) is the successor trade to SEO. Instead of chasing rankings, we measure how AI engines currently describe and cite your firm across the ~25 questions your buyers actually ask: “best kitchen remodeler in Austin,” “design-build vs. general contractor,” “what should a renovation cost.” Then we fix the content structure, schema markup, and authority signals that determine whether AI recommends you or sends homeowners to Houzz and Angi.

What does it cost to work together?

Three ways in. Most firms start with a one-time audit between $500 and $900 to see where they stand, then move to a monthly retainer from $750 to $3,500 depending on how much content and outreach the market needs. The audit fee credits toward your first retainer month, so the diagnosis is not a sunk cost.

The monthly loop

How does it work?

Four steps, repeated every month. We run your tracked buyer prompts across four engines and log citation share, fix the two highest-impact gaps, pitch third-party citations, then report the trend on a single page. Every cycle starts from the last cycle's numbers, so the work compounds instead of resetting.

What do firms ask before hiring us?

Four questions come up on every first call. Here they are with the same answers we give live.

Why does this matter for a remodeling or design firm?

A remodel is a high-consideration purchase, and the research now starts inside an AI assistant. A 2026 study across ten US metros found that citations in AI answers go overwhelmingly to aggregators like Yelp and Angi and to national chains, while roughly 78% of independent firms have effectively zero citation share. In most markets the recommendation slot is still open. Early movers inherit it.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO optimizes a ranked list of links. GEO optimizes a single synthesized answer. We track prompts and citation outcomes, not keywords, and we report what AI actually says about you, verbatim.

How fast will I see results?

Content updated within 60 days is about 1.9 times more likely to be cited, so structural fixes often surface within one or two monthly cycles. The target is 15 points of added citation share in six months, measured against the baseline set in your audit.

Who's behind this?

Austin Brewer, founder of the interior design studio Astratto Design. Industry insight from the design-build world, applied to the new search landscape. The client roster stays deliberately small and inside one vertical so the benchmark data compounds.
