BestBuzz
AEO for local businesses

Can AI find your business?

ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, and other AI tools can only recommend a business they can find and understand. If their crawlers can't read your site, your business won't show up in their answers. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the work of fixing that. BestBuzz shows you how ready your site is, and exactly what to fix.

Why AEO matters now

Local choice happens fast.

AEO is not a shortcut or a promise of AI citations. It is the practical work of making a business clear, verifiable, accessible, and easy for people and AI tools to understand.

Consumer figures are third-party survey results, not performance guarantees. BestBuzz focuses on things you can improve and evidence you can check.

What we measure

Nine plain-English signals.

BestBuzz scores a site across these nine areas, with SEO health checked across the whole site. Nothing hidden, nothing about tricking an algorithm, just whether your site is clear, well-structured, and trustworthy enough for a person or an AI to rely on.

Answer clarity

Does a page answer the visitor's question directly, near the top, instead of making them dig for it?

Structured data

Does your site describe itself in a format machines can read, not just words a human has to interpret?

Citation readiness

Is your content packaged so an AI answer can safely quote it and attribute the quote to you?

Technical foundation

Do the basics work: accurate page titles and descriptions, one official address per page, and fast, error-free responses?

Experience & trust

Can a visitor, or an AI, tell who is actually behind the business and why they should be believed?

Entity recognition

Does your schema link this business to a verifiable identity, not just a name in plain text?

Information gain

Does the page offer something specific and owned, or could any competitor's site say the same thing?

Crawlability & AI access

Can search and AI crawlers reach, index, and correctly render this page, with no accidental blocks, missing sitemap, or broken mobile basics?

SEO health

Across the whole site: no broken links or redirect chains, no duplicate or thin pages, an accurate sitemap, secure content, and light images.

What BestBuzz does

An audit only helps if it tells you what to do next. BestBuzz turns every finding into work you, or whoever runs your website, can actually complete.

Every issue with step-by-step instructions, ordered by impact, so you always know what to fix first.

Ready-to-paste drafts

Page text, schema code, and trust-page checklists you can edit and publish yourself.

How it works

A clear path from question to proof.

Every task answers one practical question: what should we do next, and how will we know it changed?

1. Discover

Audit what exists.

Find clarity gaps, missing evidence, and high-priority technical blockers.

2. Complete

Make the change.

Follow step-by-step fixes and ready-to-paste drafts, or hand them to whoever runs your website.

3. Verify

Measure again.

Run the audit again to confirm the signal changed.

Evidence first No fabricated performance claims Customer-completable work

Practical questions

A practical approach to AEO.

What is AEO?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. In plain terms: it's making sure that when someone asks ChatGPT, Google, or a voice assistant a question about a business like yours, your business can be found, understood, and trusted enough to be part of the answer. Regular SEO is about getting onto a list of search results; AEO is about being the answer the AI gives.

Can you tell me whether ChatGPT or Google's AI already mentions my business?

Not yet, and we won't pretend to. No AI company currently offers a reliable way to check what its answers say about a business, so any tool claiming to measure that today is guessing. What we can check, accurately, is whether your site is ready: whether AI crawlers can reach it, read it, and trust what it says. A site that isn't ready is very unlikely to show up in AI answers at all, so that's the right place to start.

Can I make the fixes myself?

For a lot of it, yes. Every issue comes with plain-English steps, and many come with text you can paste in, code snippets, or a checklist. You can do it yourself, or hand it straight to whoever manages your website. If something needs to happen outside your site, like a change to your Google listing, we tell you exactly what to do and where.

Can your team make the changes for me?

Sometimes. We have a small team of our own trusted, in-house developers who are experienced with most website platforms, and they take on a limited number of projects as availability allows. We'd rather tell you honestly that we're booked than hand your site to someone we don't know. If you'd like help, send us a message and we'll let you know whether we can take it on.

Do you guarantee AI recommendations?

No, and no company honestly can. ChatGPT, Google, and other AI tools decide what they show, not us. What BestBuzz gives you is a much better shot at being noticed: a clear list of fixes, ready-to-use drafts, and a way to see how your site stacks up. Anyone who promises a specific mention, ranking, or sale is overselling.
