AI, Search & Competitive Analysis

Currently four: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. Meta AI, Grok, DeepSeek, Qwen and others can be added as an optional paid add-on. We ask through each company's developer access. AI answers vary by person, place and time, so the report shows what we saw when we asked, not what every customer sees. Asked the same way every week, though, the trend is what tells you whether things are moving. If one stops being available to us, we may replace it with a comparable one, and we tell you.

The answers decide. Your competitors, for this purpose, are the businesses the assistants name for your customers' questions, which aren't always the ones you'd guess. The report shows the ones named most, and if there are particular competitors you care about, tell us and we keep up to five of them in the week-by-week comparison.

Yes, from your own data. Connect your Google Search Console and the report shows the real searches people ran on Google that showed your site: how often you appeared, how often they clicked, and where you rank, including the searches where you're on page one and nobody clicks. Those searches also shape the questions we put to the AI assistants. We also search each approved question on Google from your area every week, and report Google's AI Overview and AI Mode answers, where Google gives one, and where you rank in the regular results and in the map of local businesses. The monthly work still reaches Google, through your Google Business Profile, your listings, your reviews and your site's answers.

No, and be wary of anyone who does. The companies that run the assistants decide what they say, and they change how they decide without notice. What we promise is the work: the weekly report, the monthly profile, listing, review and answer-page work aimed at the gaps it finds, and a written log of what we did.

Only if a new customer is worth enough to you. Care costs $12,000 a year. If a new client brings you $1,000 in profit, one more client a month covers it; at $500 a client it takes two, at $250 four, and at $100 ten. Give it a quarter before you judge it: AI answers move slowly, and the weekly report shows you whether yours are moving. There's no contract, so you can stop after any month.

A business whose customers are worth $100 or less each: the math rarely works, so start with the free snapshot or the $499 Audit. A business with a marketing person who will do the work: a self-serve tracking tool may be all you need. A business the assistants already name in most answers to its customers' questions: the snapshot shows that, and we'll tell you. And anyone who wants a guaranteed recommendation: nobody honest can sell one.

You can. Self-serve AI tracking tools cost a fraction of Care and report what the assistants say. If someone on your team will do the work those reports point to, one of them may be all you need. Care is for businesses that want the work done: your profile, your listings, your review requests and a new answer on your site every month, with a log of each piece.

No, and be wary of anyone who sells one. Google's own guidance says no special optimizations, markup or AI files are needed to appear in its AI features, and that the usual SEO fundamentals still apply. The assistants build their answers from what's published about you: your site, your Google Business Profile, your listings and your reviews. That's where Care's work goes. Structured data still helps search engines and assistants read your name, address, hours and services correctly, which is why the Audit fixes it, but it's housekeeping, not a shortcut.

The weekly report shows whether the assistants name you more often, and your Search Console shows whether more people find and click your site. Neither can see the phone call that follows an AI answer, so we add a “How did you hear about us?” question to your contact form, with an AI assistant as one of the choices: on your site if we host it, or ready for your web provider to add. Have whoever answers your phone ask new callers the same question. Then you can count customers, not just mentions.

You do, before anything goes up. Every profile post, answer page and FAQ comes to you first, and nothing is posted without your approval. For law firms, medical practices and other licensed professions that review matters more: professional advertising rules apply to what's published, and you know your rules better than we do. We write from what you tell us and what's on your site, and point out any claim that looks like it needs support.

Yes. We ask the assistants a handful of questions your customers ask, send you what came back with a written 90-day plan, and walk you through it if you'd like. The plan says which questions we'd track, the gaps the snapshot found and what we'd do about them each month, and it's yours to keep whether or not you sign up. There's no charge and no obligation. Asking for one also signs you up for our newsletter, which you confirm by email and can leave any time.

You and us. Each client's report lives on a private link that isn't listed or linked anywhere, and it's also where you approve the questions we propose. Your report names other businesses and quotes what the assistants said about them, so it's for use inside your business: please don't publish it or pass it on.

Visibility Care is billed monthly with no long-term contract and no cancellation fee. Cancel any time by emailing support@baygeeks.com, by opening a ticket, or from the billing portal, and it runs to the end of the month you've paid for. Your profile and listing accounts stay in your name, and the answer pages we've delivered stay on your site. Ask, and we send you a copy of your weekly reports to keep. They stay for use inside your business, as they were while you were a client: they name other businesses, so please don't publish them or pass them on.
