AI Search Consulting

AI search is changing how people discover businesses and research decisions. I help you make your site clearer, more useful, and easier for people and search systems to access. That work can support visibility across traditional and generative search, but no one can promise a citation, recommendation, or placement. I’m Christopher Berry, a Google certified digital marketing consultant with 30 years of experience and a 5-star rating. Join Me Here Inc. is a certified Google Partner agency.

I’m Christopher Berry, a Google-certified digital marketing consultant with 30 years of experience. Through Join Me Here Inc., a Google Partner agency, I help businesses get found in AI search, generative results, and answer engines. I work directly on your site’s technical setup, content structure, and schema so AI systems can crawl, read, and trust what you publish.

Plans start at $750/month. No long-term contracts. No junior teams. You work directly with me.

Who I Work With

Business Type	What They Need
Local Service Businesses	More visibility in AI search and local results
Home Services Companies	More calls, more booked jobs from AI-driven queries
Professional Practices	Show up when AI tools answer questions in their niche
Brand or eCommerce Businesses	Better visibility in generative and AI powered search
Agency or Consultant	Stay ahead of search changes for their clients

Search Is Changing

People used to type keywords into Google and scroll through blue links. That’s changing fast.

Now they ask ChatGPT who the best HVAC company in their city is. They ask Perplexity to compare local lawyers. They let Google’s AI Overview summarize an answer before they ever see your site.

A clear, technically accessible website gives people and search systems a better chance to understand your business. It cannot guarantee an appearance in an AI answer, but it is a sound foundation for visibility.

The most useful pages commonly share a few things in common:

Their pages clearly explain what they do, who they serve, and where they work.
Their technical setup keeps important public pages accessible to search engines and visitors.
They use accurate structured data where it is relevant and supported by the visible page content.
Their content answers real questions in plain language.

Why This Matters Right Now

AI search is not a future trend. It’s happening right now.

Google’s AI Overviews appear on millions of searches every day. ChatGPT has over 100 million weekly users asking it to recommend products, services, and businesses. Perplexity and other answer engines are growing fast.

The businesses that get cited in those answers are not always the biggest or most established. They’re the ones with clear, trustworthy, well structured websites.

Google’s documentation says its generative features use the same core ranking and quality systems as traditional Search. Strong SEO fundamentals—helpful content, technical accessibility, and accurate information—still matter. They do not guarantee inclusion in any generative feature.

Thin content, inaccurate information, or crawl issues can make a site less useful to visitors and harder for search systems to understand.

My Approach

Focus Area	What I Check
Crawlability	Can search systems and visitors reach and use the site cleanly?
Content Structure	Is the content organized in a way that makes logical sense?
Page Clarity	Do important pages clearly explain what the business does and who it serves?
Schema Accuracy	Is structured data accurate, complete, and matched to page content?
Trust Signals	Are there clear signals of expertise, experience, and authority?
Helpful Content	Does the site answer real questions in a way people would find genuinely useful?

AI Search Results

AI Search visibility matters when it brings people closer to a conversation. I review AI Search traffic alongside recorded inquiries, then check what those numbers actually represent. This anonymized Google Analytics 4 example shows measurable activity from ChatGPT across a website.

Anonymized GA4 Results

Reporting period: March 9 through September 25, 2026. The selected traffic source is chatgpt.com in the AI assistant segment. Account identifying details have been removed from the screenshot.

Anonymized GA4 traffic acquisition report showing eight LeadFormSubmission key events for ChatGPT traffic from March 9 through September 25, 2026 — Actual GA4 screenshot. The chart shows all recorded events. The Key events column is filtered to LeadFormSubmission. Select the image to view it at full size.

Measured activity	Verified result
Sessions in the selected ChatGPT traffic segment	56
Engaged sessions in that segment	30
LeadFormSubmission key events	8
Tracked users associated with those eight events	7

What the results mean: The eight key events were triggered by views of a thank you page. They are inquiry signals to review against actual form records, not eight confirmed customers. Sessions are visits, and repeat visits do not represent additional people.

These AI Search figures cover the whole website, not results attributed only to this service page. Separate paid ChatGPT test traffic is excluded. This example demonstrates recorded AI Search activity; it does not establish which website change caused it or predict another business’s results.

For your business, I connect AI Search reporting with the outcomes that matter: relevant inquiries, qualified conversations, and booked work. That starts with checking whether your tracking measures a completed action or simply a page view.

AI Search Content

For AI Search, I start with what you know about your customers and your work. Content is still central to my approach. Before adding more pages, I look for the details that make your business credible and useful to someone deciding whom to call.

Training, certifications, warranties, and the services you actually provide.
Detailed customer reviews that explain a problem, the work completed, and the outcome.
Consistent business names, phone numbers, hours, and service areas across your website and profiles.
Broken links, spelling errors, and unrelated copy that can confuse a prospective customer.

In my audits, I have found cleaning business copy on a drywall service page. Small mistakes like that give customers conflicting information. My AI Search work starts with making your expertise and services clear, then making it easier to contact you.

Term	What it means for your business
E E A T	Experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. I use these principles to guide content, not as a score I can buy or install.
llms.txt	An optional file describing selected website content for tools that choose to use it. Google Search ignores it, so I do not present it as a Google ranking improvement.
WebMCP	A developing way for supported browser agents to interact with website tools. I assess practical uses without promising rankings or automatic recommendations.

The technical AI Search work supports the content. It does not replace your experience, your reputation, or a clear reason for someone to choose you. See Google’s guidance on AI features and Chrome’s WebMCP documentation.

Working With Me vs. a Digital Marketing Agency

Big agencies assign your account to a junior coordinator. You get a generic strategy and a monthly slide deck that says impressions went up. That’s not how I work. Whether you need a full AI search consultancy engagement or an ongoing search and AI consulting plan, you work directly with me.

What You’re Comparing	A Typical Agency	Christopher Berry
Who handles your account	Junior coordinator	Me, directly
Contract required	Usually 6 to 12 months	Month to month
Strategy	Template-driven	Built around your business
Communication	Tickets and scheduled calls	Direct access to me
AI search expertise	Rare and often outsourced	Core part of my service
Pricing	Often $2,000+ per month	Starting at $750/month
Deliverables	Reports and dashboards	Real fixes and real changes

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need llms.txt to show up in AI search results?

No. Google Search ignores llms.txt, so it does not improve Google rankings or eligibility for Google’s generative features. Some other tools may choose to use it; I can review it as an optional resource when it suits your wider AI strategy.

Is schema markup required for AI search?

It is not required for Google generative-search visibility, and there is no special AI schema. I use accurate, relevant schema when it supports eligible Google Search features and matches the visible page content.

What matters most for AI search visibility?

Helpful, accurate content. Clean technical setup. Strong crawlability. Clear entity signals. These fundamentals make a site more useful and understandable. I focus on all four without promising citations or recommendations.

Do you work with local and home service businesses?

Yes. That’s my primary niche. HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, cleaning businesses, dental practices, and other local service providers make up most of my client base.

How is AI search different from regular SEO?

SEO and AI-search discussions overlap around helpful content, sound technical access, and clear business information. I use the same durable fundamentals rather than promise a separate formula for AI citations.

What does AI search consulting cost?

Monthly plans start at $750. Scope varies based on site size and how much work is needed. I offer a free initial consultation so we can figure out what’s actually going to help before you spend a dollar.

Do you require a long-term contract?

No. All plans are month-to-month. I earn your business by delivering results every month.

How long does it take to see results from AI search optimization?

It depends on your starting point. Timing varies by site, competition, and how search systems recrawl and assess changes. I track the work and relevant inquiries, but do not promise a timetable, ranking, citation, or recommendation.

Will this help my Google Business Profile?

Consistent business information and accurate structured data can support a coherent local presence. They do not guarantee Google Business Profile performance, rankings, or AI-search visibility.

Can you optimize an existing site or do I need a new one?

I work with existing sites in almost every case. A full rebuild is rarely necessary. Most of what I do involves improving what you already have, not starting over.

What if my site already ranks well in traditional search?

Good traditional rankings are a strong foundation. I look for ways to make a well-ranked page more helpful, accurate, technically accessible, and clear about the business—without promising any AI-system outcome.

Do you offer a one-time audit or ongoing monthly service?

Both. Some clients start with a one-time AI search readiness audit and implement the changes themselves. Others prefer ongoing monthly management. I’ll recommend the right fit after our initial conversation.

What are LLMs, AEO, and GEO?

LLMs are large language models that power tools such as ChatGPT and Claude. AEO means answer engine optimization, and GEO means generative engine optimization. These terms describe overlapping approaches to AI Search visibility. My work brings them together through useful content, accessible pages, and clear business information.

What is WebMCP, and can it improve my rankings?

WebMCP lets a website expose structured tools that supported browser agents can use to perform tasks, such as interacting with a form. It concerns how an agent uses a website. It is not an established Google ranking factor or a guarantee of AI Search recommendations. I evaluate it as preparation for useful agent interactions, alongside the fundamentals that your site needs today.

How do you use my experience to improve the content?

I interview you about the details customers need before choosing your business. For an electrician or HVAC company, that includes training, service areas, warranties, common repairs, and whether same day service is actually available. I turn your answers into useful service content rather than generic claims. Your experience gives AI Search content something specific to explain.

Which customer reviews are most useful?

I look beyond comments such as “great service.” Reviews that describe the original problem, the work performed, and the outcome help me understand why customers chose you. I use those details to identify topics worth explaining and check that your website and business profiles tell a consistent story. I do not invent testimonials or promise that a review will trigger an AI Search recommendation.

How do you measure AI Search inquiries?

I check referral sources in Google Analytics, inspect the events marked as conversions, and compare inquiry signals with actual form records and call reporting when available. A visit or thank you page view is not automatically a qualified lead. Some AI referrals lose their source information, so I also recommend asking prospects how they found you.

Can I combine SEO, PPC, and AI Search?

Yes. I package SEO, PPC, and AI Search together around your business goals. Monthly plans start at $750 with no long term contracts. The scope is agreed before work begins. Start with a complimentary audit so I can identify the priorities and explain what your plan should cover.
