When a customer asks AI who to hire, be the name it gives.

Your next customer is not scrolling ten links. They are asking ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini for a couple of names and calling the first one. RankCurrent gets your business onto that list, keeps it there, and shows you the proof every month.

Why this matters now

The shortlist is the new front page.

A homeowner with water in the basement does not read a results page anymore. They ask an assistant "who should I call" and get two or three names. If yours is not one of them, you did not lose the job. You were never in the running.

01

One recommendation, not ten links

AI gives an answer, not a menu. Being the name it gives is the difference between getting the call and never knowing the call existed.

02

The names are not random

Assistants recommend businesses they can read, understand, and verify: clear service pages, structured data, consistent listings, real reviews. Every one of those is something you control.

03

Nobody in your market has checked yet

Most owners have no idea what AI says about them. The first business in a market to fix it holds the spot. Find out where you stand in 48 hours.

Services

Get named. Stay named. See it every month.

Plain pricing. The audit is free because knowing where you stand is the easy part. Becoming the business AI recommends is the work, and that is what you pay for.

Who it is for

Built for owners whose next customer is worth thousands.

If one new client is worth a few hundred dollars, skip this. If one is worth a furnace install, an implant case, a retained client, or a policy that renews for years, being the name AI gives changes your year.

Home base is Bloomington-Normal. Most clients are in Peoria, Champaign, Springfield, and the Chicago suburbs. The work is remote.

Buying a business?

Know what you are acquiring before you sign.

A business with strong reviews and no AI visibility is cheaper to fix than one with neither. A diligence audit tells you which one you are looking at, and what it will take after close.

Diligence audits for acquirers

What the diligence audit returns

  • Answer map: who gets named for this business's buyer questions, and whether the target does
  • Site and signal score: structural readiness plus listings, citations, and reviews
  • Fix estimate: cost and timeline to close the gap, for the model
  • Portfolio pricing at three or more businesses

What we do not promise

No one can guarantee what an AI says. Here is what we can.

AI engines are not pay-to-play and their answers change. Anyone promising you a spot in ChatGPT is guessing with your money. What we promise is the work: a real baseline, everything within your control fixed, your reputation made consistent everywhere AI looks, and the before and after in your hands every month.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they hire us.

What does being ranked by AI actually mean for my business?

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini who to hire, the assistant answers with two to five names and a reason for each. Those names get the call. Being ranked by AI means your business is one of them, consistently, for the questions your customers ask. Not being ranked means the customer never knew you existed.

I already pay for SEO. Is this the same thing?

It overlaps but is not the same. SEO gets you onto a results page. AI visibility makes your business easy for a language model to understand, trust, and recommend: structured data on your site, direct answers to the questions customers ask, and consistent signals everywhere else. Good SEO helps. On its own it does not get you named.

Can you guarantee my business shows up in ChatGPT?

No, and no one honest can. AI engines are not pay-to-play and their answers change. What we can do is measure where you stand, fix everything within your control, build the off-site signals the engines draw from, and show you the before and after every month.

What is in the free audit?

We run a fixed set of buyer questions for your industry and area through the major AI assistants, record who gets named, and score your site on the structural signals AI engines look for. You get a written report in 48 hours, whether or not you hire us.

What does the monthly program include?

Implementation on your own domain (structured data, answer-ready service pages, crawler access, site fixes), off-site trust signals (listings, citations, review strategy), and monthly measurement against the same frozen question set so progress is real, not anecdotal. Three-month minimum because that is the shortest window in which the work shows up.

How do you measure progress?

With a fixed set of the questions your customers ask, frozen at the start and re-run across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini every month. Each answer is scored on whether you are named, whether your site is cited, and who is named instead. The score from that is the yardstick. The work on your site and your reputation is what moves it.

Do you work outside Illinois?

Yes. Our home base is Bloomington-Normal and most clients are in central Illinois and the Chicago suburbs, but the work is remote and the process is the same anywhere.

I am buying a business. Is this for me?

Yes. We run a diligence audit before you close so you know what AI visibility you are actually acquiring, and a post-close program to fix it. Portfolio pricing applies at three or more businesses. See the page for acquirers.
