AI visibility agency
Northview Agency is an AI visibility agency for local service businesses: clinics, med spas, home service companies and other owner-run businesses. We get you named when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews who to hire, and ranked when they search Google. Tracked every month against a fixed set of real customer questions.
An AI visibility agency gets a business named inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, and ranked in Google's search results and map pack. Northview Agency does this for local service businesses as one service: answer-first pages for every service you sell, schema markup, consistent listings, a steady flow of Google reviews and mentions on the sites AI assistants cite, measured monthly by how often the assistants name you.
Northview runs AI visibility and patient acquisition for the practice. More prospective patients now find Dr. Harrison through search and AI answers and book a discovery call.
SEO earns a position in a list of links. AEO, answer engine optimization, earns a place in a single AI-generated answer that usually names only three to five businesses. They share a foundation, a fast, crawlable website with clear pages, but AEO puts more weight on direct answers an assistant can quote, structured data, consistent business listings, recent reviews and outside mentions an assistant can cross-check.
A fixed list of 20 to 40 real customer questions for your city, run across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, with a monthly report on how often you are named and who is named instead.
A clear page for each service you want more of, written to answer the customer's question in the first paragraph.
Structured data for your business, services, service area and FAQs, so search engines and AI assistants read your facts reliably.
Crawlability, speed, sitemaps, AI crawler access and llms.txt, so nothing stops search engines or AI tools from reading your site.
Your profile optimized and your name, address, phone, hours and services made identical across Apple Maps, Bing, Yelp, Facebook and the directories for your industry.
A text after each job or visit asking for a Google review, with every review answered. Recent reviews are one of the strongest signals for local and AI recommendations.
Earned mentions on directories, local publications, associations and roundups, the sources AI assistants cite.
One page: AI visibility percentage, rankings, reviews added and the calls it brought in.
We run your customer questions across every AI platform, record who is named, and fix anything blocking crawlers or search engines.
Answer-first pages, schema, listings cleanup and the review system go live. AI crawlers start picking up the changes within days to weeks.
Outside mentions build, the visibility percentage climbs, and we double down on whatever gets cited.

An AI visibility agency gets a business named inside the answers AI assistants give, in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews, and measures how often that happens. Northview Agency is an AI visibility agency for local service businesses, and it pairs that work with traditional SEO because AI assistants lean on the same web that search engines index.
Answer engine optimization is the work of getting a business named inside AI-generated answers rather than only ranked in a list of links. For a local service business it means answer-first pages for each service, schema markup, consistent listings, recent reviews and mentions on trusted sites.
Look for three things: it tracks a fixed list of real customer questions across several AI platforms and shows you the share where you are named, it can show a business it got cited, and it works on reviews, listings and outside mentions rather than only on-page content. Be wary of anyone who guarantees placement.
No one can guarantee placement. AI assistants decide their answers independently and do not sell placement. What Northview can do is remove everything on your side that keeps you out, build the signals assistants look for, and report every month on the share of tracked customer questions where you are named.
Most businesses see their first AI citations within 90 days. Website changes are picked up as AI crawlers revisit the pages, usually within days to weeks; one Northview page was cited by ChatGPT about two hours after it was rebuilt. Reviews and outside mentions build over one to three months.
Yes. AI assistants lean on the same web search engines index, and Google AI Overviews sit on top of Google's own results. Northview does both as one service because most of the work helps both.
We track a fixed list of real customer questions for your city across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, and report how often your business is named, which competitors are named instead, and which websites the assistants cite.
Owner-run local service businesses: medical practices, med spas and wellness clinics, and home service companies such as plumbing, HVAC, roofing, pool service and restoration. The work is the same in each; the customer questions and the sites AI assistants cite change by industry.
Usually not. Most businesses need clearer service pages, schema and cleaner listings, all of which can be added to an existing site. If your site cannot be edited or hides its content from crawlers, we will tell you.
A flat monthly retainer, quoted on the intro call and sized to your market and industry. No setup fees and no long-term contract.
