Questions Business Owners Are Actually Asking
- Why doesn't ChatGPT know my business exists?

- How do I make my business easier for AI to understand?

The Firm IQ Perspective
Most SEO companies are still trying to win yesterday's game. They're focused on rankings. We're focused on recommendations. Those are no longer the same thing.
Our goal isn't to help AI crawl your website. Our goal is to make your business so well documented that AI has confidence recommending you. There's a big difference.
Think of your website like a resume. Think of the rest of the internet as your references. AI reads both. If they tell the same story... good things happen.
