2. Get listed on the sources AI actually reads

The first block is where the engines looked when answering about you. Fix those first - same name, address, phone everywhere. Then work the universal backbone.

3. Your 7-step climb playbook

1. Establish 3 citations on OpenAI ASAP
+7 pts
Why: Citation rate is 0.0% with 0 citations across 3 queries on OpenAI.
Do this: Identify local citation sites like Yelp, Yellow Pages, or Angie's List. Create profiles with consistent business info including name, address, phone number. Expect to spend 3-4 hours to complete, aiming for a lift of up to 20% in visibility.
2. Get 5 new reviews for Green Thumb Landscaping
+6 pts
Why: Zero customer reviews means missing out on visibility; competitors mention reviews frequently, impacting rankings.
Do this: Reach out to past clients via email or SMS to request honest reviews. Offer a small incentive if needed. Spend an afternoon on this for potential revenue enhancement.
3. Mention Humble Handyman in new content
+10 pts
Why: Competitor is named once; your business hasn't been referenced at all in responses.
Do this: Create a blog post comparing services with Humble Handyman, focusing on how you differ and your unique offerings. Dedicate a few hours to write and publish this for potential increased relevance.
4. List business in 3 competitor citations
+7 pts
Why: Strong competitors like Affordable Plumbing Solutions and Humble Electrical Services are getting citations you aren't.
Do this: Find citation sites where these competitors are listed and ensure your business is added with the correct information. This should take 1-2 hours, and could close the gap in your citation presence.
5. Submit to local directories for 0.0% citation accuracy
+2 pts
Why: Citation accuracy isn’t assessed but should be prioritized to match competitor presence and ranking potential.
Do this: Focus on 3 major local directories (like Yelp, Angie's List, and Local.com) ensuring NAP consistency. Plan on 2 hours of work here.
6. Include 3 services in structured data this week
+3 pts
Why: Your structured data health is missing, giving an edge to competitors in local visibility. Structured data is a ranking factor.
Do this: Utilize Schema.org to outline core services offered and implement JSON-LD for structured data on your website. Spend an hour on this, validating with Google's structured data testing tool.
7. Monitor performance on 3 key engines weekly
+2 pts
Why: With competitive position at 16.7%, you need to refine your data strategy based on engine performance metrics.
Do this: Utilize analytics tools like Google Search Console and local SEO tracking software to monitor data weekly. Allocate an hour each week for updates and adjustments based on findings.
