Why Sacramento Businesses Can’t Ignore AI SEO — And How to Get Started

Imagine this: a potential customer asks ChatGPT, “Who’s the best HVAC company in Sacramento?”. Chat GPT looks at his file, reads some blog posts and news articles, checks the review sites and comes up with an answer. If you’re not showing up in that answer, you’re missing out on a goldmine of business.

Welcome to the new frontier of digital marketing: AI SEO.

At Get on the Map, we’re passionate about helping Sacramento businesses stay ahead of the curve. AI assistants like ChatGPT, Alexa, Perplexity, Grok and Siri are rapidly changing how people search for local businesses. Instead of typing keywords, customers are having conversations—and businesses need to speak the same language to stay visible.

How AI SEO Works

When someone chats with an AI tool, the model pulls data from publicly available information, including:
• Your website content
• Google Business Profile info
• Online reviews
• Citations on local news and directories
If your business is well-optimized for local SEO and written in a conversational, natural language, you’re far more likely to get mentioned when someone asks for local recommendations.

Quick Tips to Get On AI’s Radar
• Keep your Google Business Profile updated
• Create FAQ style blog posts answering common questions people might ask AI tools
• Get listed in local directories
• Have a system to encourage happy customers to leave reviews
• Write like a human, not a robot

AI SEO is not some futuristic idea—it’s happening now. Get on the Map is here to help Sacramento businesses claim their spot in this new landscape. Want to be the business ChatGPT recommends? Let’s chat!
