People across South Carolina now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews things like "who is the best roofer near Summerville" or "good web designer in Charleston." These tools pull from websites, reviews and business listings. If your information is vague or hard to read, they simply skip you.
Make your facts impossible to misread
- Use the exact same business name, phone number and address format everywhere: your site, Google, Facebook and directories.
- Add structured data (schema) to your site so machines can read your services, hours and service area.
- Name your towns. "Serving Goose Creek, Summerville and North Charleston" is clearer than "serving the area."
