Be the Trusted Answer AI Recommends When People Ask Who to Hire
It's no longer about rankings. It’s about how AI understands your expertise.
Today’s Clients Don’t Browse Lists - They Ask AI Who to Hire
People used to scroll links or directory listings. Now they ask voice assistants and AI tools questions like:
-
“Who’s the best therapist near me?”
-
“Which accountant should I hire for my startup?”
-
“Who can fix my HVAC today?”
If AI systems don’t clearly understand your services and expertise, they won’t recommend you - even if you’re excellent at what you do.
If AI doesn’t recommend you first, your prospects will pick your competitors.
What We Help You Do
We help expert service businesses become the clear, trusted choice AI systems recommend when people ask who to hire.
1. Clarify Your Expertise
We define your core services, outcomes, and credibility in language AI and humans trust - so your business reads like an expert, not a general option.
2. Structure Your Site for Interpretability
Service pages, FAQs, and descriptions are organized so AI systems understand your offerings and confidently surface them in recommendations.
3. Align With How People Actually Ask for Experts
People talk like people. We optimize for the questions they actually ask - not just keywords - so AI assistants can match those questions to your business.

What Our Clients Say
These clients chose us for clarity, credibility, and trust - not tactics.
⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Your team always does a fantastic job. This time, they filmed a screen video with snow - don’t think I could’ve pulled it off. I can do a lot in Photoshop, but your team is next level. That’s why I won’t even consider another studio. You've stuck with us through thick and thin, and I truly appreciate it."
~ Steve M
(We've worked on 6 projects for Steve's team)
“Working with Tina and her team has been an absolute game-changer for my business. They’ve helped me with multiple projects - always delivering high-quality work, on time, and with care.
What really stands out, though, is the relationship. Tina treats my business like it’s her own. She’s gone above and beyond, even jumping in to optimize my various listings - because she genuinely wants to see me win. It’s rare to find someone you can trust, who understands what you're building, and who you can actually reach out to when you need support or want to brainstorm ideas.
That’s what Tina brings - strategy, creativity, and a real human connection.”

"Tina and team are excellent to work with! Outstanding communication and the final product really delivers. Increased conversion and sales!"
Becky
"It took a bit longer than I anticipated, but the work was excellent and would definitely use the services again!"
Seth
"I’ve definitely seen an increase in conversion rate and sales. About 5-6% conversion increase which I’m very happy with. That translates to about an extra $7,000 - $10,000 a month in revenue. Actually thinking of asking for your help on another 2-3 of my listings."
