Managed GEO
We help you understand and improve how AI sees your business.
Smoketown GEO is a managed service for local businesses. We do the research, turn it into a plain-English report, identify what needs attention, and help you carry the work forward.
You do not need to learn another complicated platform or guess which “AI score” matters.
The process
A clear monthly process.
-
Step 01
Build the right picture of your business
We gather the facts AI tools need to understand: your services, locations served, differentiators, website, Google Business Profile, competitors, and the real questions your customers ask.
-
Step 02
Test real customer questions
We run a baseline across AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity using a library of local, buyer-focused prompts. We look at the actual answers—not just a vanity score.
-
Step 03
Find the gaps
Your report shows whether and where your business appears, which competitors are being named instead, which sources AI tools rely on, and where business facts are missing, unclear, inconsistent, or wrong.
-
Step 04
Turn findings into an action plan
Every meaningful finding becomes a practical next step: improving your Google Business Profile, correcting directories, clarifying service pages, adding structured website information, building proof, or improving review collection.
-
Step 05
Track progress each month
We re-run the baseline, document completed work, show what improved or slipped, and give you the next priorities—so your GEO effort stays focused and measurable.
