When someone asks ChatGPT "best plumber in Dallas," how does it choose? It's not magic. It reads whatever it can find about you across the web: your website, your Google Business Profile, your reviews, directories, and mentions on other sites. The clearer and more consistent that trail, the more likely AI is to name you. Three things that matter more than ever: consistent business info everywhere, fresh reviews, and content that genuinely answers your customers' questions.

Something big is quietly changing in how people find businesses. A year ago, you'd Google a service and scroll through options. Today, more people just ask ChatGPT or Google's AI "who's the best ___ near me?" and act on the single answer they get. The businesses named in that answer win. The ones that aren't, simply vanish from the conversation. This is why classic "SEO" is slowly giving way to a new discipline: making sure AI can actually find and cite you.
