Every Way to Get Local Customers Through AI Assistants
Customers now ask AI assistants — Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity — instead of scrolling Google. We position your business to be the answer each one recommends, and we run ads inside the two that allow it: Gemini and ChatGPT.
Who Uses Each AI Assistant
Different AI assistants reach different kinds of local customers. Here's a quick picture of who's asking what — and how we leverage each one.
Gemini Users
People searching Google who now get AI Overviews — everyday local customers.
ChatGPT Users
People who skip Google and ask AI directly for 'who's the best near me.'
Claude Users
Professionals and decision-makers doing careful, high-value research.
Perplexity Users
Comparison shoppers who want cited, sourced answers before they buy.

How All the AI Assistants Work Together
No single AI assistant covers everyone. Strong signals feed every assistant at once, paid placement captures the high-intent researchers, and each new recommendation reinforces your authority across all of them — a loop that compounds as AI search keeps growing.

Be the Recommendation
When customers ask Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for a local recommendation, you're the answer they get.
- Gemini — AI Overview citations

Advertise Inside AI
We place Google Ads inside Gemini's AI Overviews and ChatGPT Ads in front of active researchers — capturing the high-intent leads organic can't reach.
- Gemini — Google Ads in AI Overviews
- ChatGPT Ads — high-intent reach
- Low-competition, early-mover edge
Every recommendation an AI assistant gives reinforces your authority in its training data, making you the default answer more often. Ads inside Gemini and ChatGPT capture the researchers who aren't ready to ask yet — and each new customer's review feeds straight back into Build AI Signals — so each cycle reaches more local customers for less.
