AI Search Visibility / GEO
When customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI or Perplexity for a recommendation, an AI either understands and trusts a business enough to name it — or names a competitor. Our work in this area maps the real questions a market asks, checks how the major AI platforms answer them, and fixes the underlying signals: clear positioning, consistent business information, and content that answers what customers actually ask.
This is the discipline behind our own AI Search Visibility Audit — 30 manual visibility checks across three AI platforms, competitive share of voice, and a prioritized action list, delivered in 3–4 business days.

Google Business Profile & Local Visibility
For local and regional businesses, the map listing is often the first decision point. Work in this area covers complete and consistent business information, correct categories and service areas, and the review and photo activity that tells both Google and AI systems the business is active and trusted.

Reputation & Customer Trust
Being found is not the same as being chosen. Review velocity, recency, owner responses and the patterns inside the reviews themselves now feed both human decisions and AI recommendations. Our approach treats reputation as an operating system, not an occasional clean-up: steady review requests, monitoring, and responses that sound like the business.
This is the system TrustStack runs every month for subscribers — review requests, reputation monitoring, AI-assisted responses and trust-signal tracking, with a fresh AI visibility re-audit every 90 days.

Strategy & Business Growth
Most growth problems are sequencing problems: money spent on visibility before the reputation supports it, or on retention programs before the basics are findable. Our strategy work starts from the business problem, not the marketing tactic — positioning, offers, and the order of decisions that let each layer compound on the last.
For a focused version of this work, the Strategy Hour is a paid 60-minute session on one defined business problem — bought first, scheduled after purchase.

Customer Engagement / Retention
The most durable growth comes from customers who return and bring others. Work in this area covers retention and repeat-business mechanics, VIP and referral programs, and the customer relationships that make an established business harder to replace. This layer is currently delivered inside advisory engagements as it is built out into a defined program.

Digital / Web Strategy
A website's job is to be understood — by customers, by search engines and by AI systems. Our digital work focuses on structure, clarity and the technical trust signals (structured data, consistent entity information, fast accessible pages) rather than redesign for its own sake. This site is the working example: it is built to the same standard we recommend to clients.

Community & Nonprofit Work
tSMG is based in western Orange County and stays involved in the local business and civic community it serves, including founder Art Remnet's long-standing Rotary participation. Community work is not a marketing channel for us; it is part of being a durable local business ourselves. Specific examples will be added here as they are documented for public sharing.
This page is updated as specific client examples are approved for public sharing. For the current state of our thinking, see tSMG Insights.
