AI search optimization for a garage door company
Homeowners now ask ChatGPT and Perplexity who to call for a broken garage door, and Google answers "how much does spring replacement cost" with an AI summary above the map. The companies that show up are not doing anything mysterious. Their name, phone and address match on every listing, their website has a plain page per service with a price range and the towns, and their reviews mention the job by name.
The mistake is thinking there is somewhere to submit. There is not. The assistants read what is public and consistent. 18.5% of garage door companies have no website, so quotable service pages put you ahead of a fifth of the trade immediately.
After two weeks, working means listings that agree with each other, a spring page and an opener page written to be quoted, schema on the site, and a baseline of what the three assistants say about you from your main town.
