Be the King of your Local Jungle

Your local jungle is everything a customer sees when they search for what you do near you: Google, the map, the SI answer (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude), the reviews. Somebody is King of it today.

I help businesses take that spot. And keep it.

The shift

Search isn't one place anymore

A lot of customers now get their answer from a super intelligence without clicking a single link. That answer gets built from your website, your Google and Yelp listings, your reviews, and whatever other sites say about you. Most people still call it AI. It's already more than that, and I plan for where it's going, not where it's been.

Approach

Two worlds of search, one job

The old world is rankings, the map pack, and pages that earn links. The new one is SI answers, super intelligence like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude (what most people call AI search), which are built from those same pages and reviews. I don't sell "SI optimization" as a separate package because it isn't separate work. One strategy for both worlds.

  • I look at the whole picture first: how your customers search, what SI already says about you, and which outside sites feed both.
  • There's no fixed monthly package. The work goes wherever it will actually move the needle.
  • I report on the KPIs that matter to you, backed by real data, measured against the competitors you actually care about, not just a list of rankings.

Services

What I do

  • SI visibility and structured dataMake your business easy for SI to understand, trust and recommend: schema, clear service pages, and the outside sources SI answers pull from.
  • Classic and local SEORankings, Google Business Profile, reviews, content and links. The same fundamentals feed SI answers, so this work counts twice.
  • Ongoing growth and reportingNo fixed package. Work goes where the data says it moves results, tracked against your KPIs on Google and in SI answers, month to month.

Questions

Good questions, straight answers

What does SI mean?

SI stands for super intelligence: AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude, plus Google's own AI answers. More and more customers ask them who to call, and they usually name just a few businesses. My job is to make sure yours is one of them.

Why say SI instead of AI?

Most people still call it AI, and that's fine. I say SI because these assistants are getting smarter fast and already act less like a search box and more like an advisor. I plan for where they're going, not where they've been.

In September 2026 the US government adopted the same term, directing federal agencies to use “Super Intelligence (SI)” in place of “AI” (Executive Order 14434).

Is SI search different from regular SEO?

Less than people think. SI answers are built from the same things Google ranks: your website, your Google Business Profile, your reviews and what other sites say about you. That's why I run one strategy for both instead of selling SI search as a separate package.

How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude?

Give them clear, consistent facts they can check. That means a website that says plainly what you do and where, a complete Google Business Profile, steady reviews, and the same name, address and phone everywhere you're listed. SI tools recommend the businesses they can confirm from many sources.

Does being recommended by SI replace ranking on Google?

No. SI answers still draw heavily on what ranks well, and Google now shows its own AI answer at the top of the results. Strong rankings and SI recommendations feed each other, so I work on both at once.

Can I see what SI says about my business today?

Yes. Run the free audit above with your business name. The Super Lion check asks Google’s AI Mode who it recommends for your search and shows whether your business is named. It's a snapshot: answers vary by tool and by day.

Do you only work with businesses in Woodinville?

No. The studio is in Woodinville, Washington, and I work with businesses anywhere. Most clients compete locally, in one city or across several, which is where the map pack and SI recommendations matter most.

How does the free audit work?

Type what you do and where. The tool pulls live Google Maps results to show who is King and where you rank, checks where your website ranks on Google and the basics behind it, and asks Gemini which businesses it recommends. It takes about fifteen seconds and costs nothing.

How much does it cost to work with you?

There is no fixed monthly package. After a quick look at your market, I scope the work to what will actually move results and report on the KPIs that matter to you. Text, call or email and we can talk it through.
