AI Marketing & GEO for Tradies
When a homeowner asks ChatGPT for a plumber, what does it say? GEO is how you make sure it names you - and it runs on the same local signals that already rank you on Google.

Four moves that decide whether an AI assistant recommends you or your competitor.
Fix the Basics First
AI assistants read the same local signals Google does: your Google Business Profile, citations, and reviews. Get those right before anything else.
Answer Real Questions
Add FAQ content that names the job, the area, and the price range. AI quotes pages that answer the question in plain language.
Be Easy to Summarise
Keep your name, trade, service area, and hours identical everywhere. AI trusts consistency.
Collect Reviews as Proof
Reviews are the strongest signal for both Google and AI. More reviews, more mentions, more recommendations.

Straight answers about ChatGPT, GEO, and whether your business gets named.
No. AI doesn't fix pipes or wire houses. But it does recommend who to call, and that recommendation is becoming how people choose. The work is making sure AI names you.
The same signals Google uses: your Google Business Profile, reviews, directory listings, and website content. AI leans on businesses with consistent information and real proof.
AI search is growing and it's not going backwards. But GEO isn't a new channel you need to master. It's the same local SEO fundamentals plus content that answers questions directly.
Get your Google Business Profile complete and accurate, then build reviews steadily. Those two outrank any other single move.
