AI-search marketing for local business
Your customers are asking AI. Make sure you are the answer.
Search is moving into ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers. SightLine gets your business found there — and builds the website and local presence that backs it up.
Starting at $300/mo · month to month · no lock-in
The shift
People stopped scrolling ten blue links. They ask, and AI answers.
When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI for "the best [your service] near me," one or two businesses get named. If that's not you, you never knew the customer existed. No missed call, no lost quote, nothing to notice. And it compounds: the businesses named today build the track record that makes AI keep naming them tomorrow. Getting named is a different job than ranking, and every month you wait, the gap gets harder to close.
What SightLine does
Three things, done well.
Built for AI search
We optimize for how AI tools pick who to name — entities, structure, reviews, and the signals they actually read. AI visibility is the core of every plan, not an upsell.
AI does the work, you see it
We run real AI in delivery, so agency-grade work fits a small-business budget. A live dashboard shows your visibility and exactly what's done, in progress, and next.
No lock-in
Month to month. Cancel anytime. We earn the next month by showing you the work and the results, not by trapping you in a contract.
How it works
From invisible to found, fast.
Free visibility check
We show you where you appear (or don't) in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews versus your local competitors.
Your site, AI-ready
A fast, modern site built from your real photos and details — homepage plus your highest-value service and area pages.
Get named & found
We optimize your profile, content, and signals so AI tools and local search start putting you in the answer.
Watch it work
Track AI visibility, local rankings, and every task in your dashboard. Add content, ads, or automation as you grow.
Why we're different
Not your typical agency.

Common questions
What is AI search marketing for a local business?
It is the work of getting your business named when customers ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI for a local service, instead of typing a search. It is a different job than ranking in a list of links, and it relies on a clear website, an active local presence, and the signals AI tools use to decide who to recommend.
How is getting named in AI answers different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank in a list of ten blue links. AI answers name only one or two businesses. Getting named depends on entities, structure, reviews, and a consistent presence across the sources AI tools read, not just keyword rankings.
How much does SightLine cost?
Plans start at $300 per month for Foundation, $900 for Growth, $1,500 for Pro, and $2,400 for Command. Every plan is month to month with no lock-in, and AI-search visibility is included in all of them.
Is there a contract?
No. Every plan is month to month and you can cancel anytime. SightLine also offers a free AI-visibility check and can build a free demo site before you decide.
