The 30-Day Owner's System for Visibility in ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity - for Local Service Businesses
By Mercer Lane · Published by Mercer Lane Press
A practical 30-day system for local service businesses to improve the public evidence that AI and search systems can discover, understand, corroborate, and evaluate.
WHO IT IS FOR
A practical system for a specific job
Owners and marketing leads at local service businesses who want a practical way to improve and measure AI-assisted visibility without relying on hype or guaranteed-ranking claims.
Problems the book helps you work through
- Conflicting business facts across websites, profiles, and directories
- Service and location pages that do not clearly explain fit
- Unclear evidence about why a business is or is not surfaced in AI answers
