The survey desk / AI visibility in Ohio

See whether AI assistants name your business.

The GEO Desk measures how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity describe your local business — whether they name you when someone in your city asks who to hire. If you want the work done after that, we put the public listings and website markup those systems cite in order.

Ohio HVAC first. Columbus & Central Ohio.
Dental practices and medical spas next.

Field plate 02 / The written record

Three assistants.
Nine answers.
A dated record.

Three local questions, repeated across three assistants. The same nine prompts on day 0 and day 30 measure the setup.

Typical single-location setup: $497–$997.

The problem

Customers still search Google. They also ask AI assistants.

Those answers are written in ordinary language. They usually name a short list of businesses, and they are not the same thing as a Google Maps pack or a page-one ranking. ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity also do not always name the same shops.

If an assistant does not name you, a customer who asked that question will not see you there. If it does name you, the details it repeats — your city, your services, sometimes a phone number or a review snippet — come from public pages and listings, not from a placement we can buy.

We do not claim that AI assistants have replaced Google, or that a mention will send a particular number of jobs. We measure what the assistants actually say, on a dated set of prompts, so you can see the record yourself.

What this is not

It is not a claim about your service quality. It is not an advertising package, a website redesign, or a promise about Google Maps. It is a dated reading of what three widely used assistants answer when someone asks who to hire in your city.

The complimentary snapshot

A one-page record of what the assistants said

The snapshot is prepared by hand from fresh, signed-in chats. It is a point-in-time record, not a ranking and not an automated API report presented as a live ChatGPT answer.

  • The exact prompts we ran For heating and cooling shops in Columbus, that includes questions such as “best HVAC company in Columbus Ohio.” The prompts do not include your company name unless you ask for a separate, clearly labeled name-in-the-prompt check.
  • Whether you were named ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity are each recorded as named or not named in the written answer.
  • Who else was named The other businesses mentioned in those answers, so you can see the shortlist a customer was given.
  • Sources, when they are shown If an assistant cites a page or a directory, we note that. A name that appears only in a source snippet is not counted as a recommendation.
  • The date and how the chat was run Each run is dated. We record whether the chat was signed in, and we start a fresh conversation for every prompt.

Three steps

See the record, then decide about the work

The snapshot is free. The setup is a paid, productized engagement. Monthly monitoring is what continues after that work, if you want it.

Step 01

Complimentary snapshot

You request the page. We run the prompts in fresh chats and send you a dated one-pager, usually within two business days. There is no fee for this record.

Step 02

AI visibility setup, from $497

If you want the listings put in order, we review and correct your Google Business Profile, Bing Places, and core directory citations; give you review-request wording to send after a completed job; and add or correct LocalBusiness schema on your website. The same nine prompts are run on day 0 and day 30.

Step 03

Monitoring, $149 a month

If you want the watching to continue, monthly service repeats the dated prompt set, notes movement, and flags new listing or markup issues. You may stop at any time. There is no cancellation charge, and the reports remain yours.

Columbus and Central Ohio

Built first for heating and cooling shops

The first focus is HVAC contractors in Columbus and Central Ohio. That is where we already use a fixed set of local prompts — the kinds of questions a homeowner types when they are comparing shops for planned work, not only when a furnace fails at 2 a.m.

A no-heat emergency still often goes to whoever answers the phone or appears in Maps. The assistants matter more when someone asks who is recommended, who to call for furnace or air-conditioning repair, or which company is considered the best in town.

High-end dental practices and medical spas are next. The method is the same; the prompts change with the trade and the city.

See the HVAC prompt set and how we read the answers

  1. “best HVAC company in Columbus Ohio”
  2. “best furnace repair Columbus OH”
  3. “recommended AC repair near Columbus Ohio”

Each prompt is run on ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — nine answers in all — in fresh signed-in chats.

Pricing

A free first look, then a defined piece of work

Prices are in US dollars. The setup fee depends on how many locations you have and how much listing cleanup is needed.

Complimentary

A dated one-page record of the nine prompts, prepared by hand and sent to you within two business days of a complete request.

Afterward

Monitoring

$149 / month

Repeats the dated prompt set, notes movement, and flags listing or markup drift. No obligation to continue after the setup.

What we do not promise

The GEO Desk does not guarantee that ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or any other assistant will name your business, keep a mention once it appears, or send additional customers. Assistant answers change from week to week even when a business makes no changes of its own. The setup does not replace a general advertising agency, paid search, or a website redesign, and it is not a claim about Google Maps pack rankings.

Questions

Plain answers before you request a page

What is an AI-visibility snapshot?

It is a complimentary one-page record of how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity answer a small set of local prompts on a given date, and whether your business is named in those written answers.

Do you guarantee that ChatGPT will name my business?

No. We will not tell you that. Assistant answers change from week to week even when a business makes no changes of its own. We measure what the assistants say, before and after the listing work. We do not sell a ranking, a mention, or a number of new customers.

Does this replace my SEO person or my website?

No. Search rankings and AI recommendations are related, but they are not the same. The setup covers your Google Business Profile, Bing Places, core directory listings, review-request wording, and website schema. It is not a website redesign and not a paid-search campaign. Your current marketing partner is welcome to have a copy of the snapshot.

What does the setup include, and how is it measured?

The setup is a defined set of listing and markup tasks, typically completed in about 30 days: Google Business Profile, Bing Places, core citations, review-request language you can send after a job, and schema on the website if we are given access. Success is measured by repeating the same nine prompts at the start and at the end of that period. Website traffic, call volume, and booked jobs are not treated as proof of the listing work, because too many other factors affect them.

Who is this for right now?

The first focus is heating and cooling shops in Columbus and Central Ohio. The same method can be used for other local services. High-end dental practices and medical spas are next. You should have authority to request the work for the business named on the form.

How quickly will I hear back?

After a complete request, you should have the dated one-page snapshot within two business days. We confirm the prompts and the date we will run them, then send the page. That page is not generated instantly from an API.
