Grow Your Visibility in AI Search

At Heartland Digital Studio, we’re not just keeping up with the future of search, we’re also helping contractors get ahead of it.
With deep roots in SEO and web design, we help roofing, HVAC, and general contracting companies get discovered through AI-powered search.

Whether you call it AI Optimization, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), or LLM Optimization, the goal is the same: earn visibility in AI-generated answers from platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Much like traditional SEO, AIO/GEO is about building trust, relevance, and authority, the difference lies in how  generative search engines look at the content differently.
Our team is testing daily to understand how these models decide which businesses to cite and which websites to surface.

Our Approach to AI Optimization

AI Optimization is a new discipline that combines proven SEO techniques with an understanding of how AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini retrieve and present information. Our process is designed to give your contracting business the best chance of being referenced in AI-generated responses — and it all starts with a solid foundation.

1. Initial Audit & Opportunity Mapping
We analyze your current online presence to see how well your website aligns with the sources AI engines already reference. This includes checking structured data, brand mentions, authority signals, and overall visibility.

2. Content Gap & Citation Analysis
We identify gaps between your current content and what LLMs actually cite in answers. Then we map opportunities where your company should appear — but isn’t yet showing up.

3. Technical Foundation Setup
Generative engines favor structured, clear information. We optimize your site with schema markup, entity tagging, and clean HTML to ensure your content is machine-readable and trusted.

4. Content Development for AI Visibility
We build and refine pages designed to show up in AI-generated results. This means content with topical authority, semantic clarity, and the depth that AI systems rely on.

5. Monitoring AI Response Inclusion
We continuously test prompts and queries across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and more to see if your business is being surfaced — and use those results to guide future updates.
