CIVALLO
AI Search is Replacing Google — Is Your Business Ready?

Your Business is
Invisible to AI.
We Fix That.

When your customers ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity who to call, your competitors get cited — not you. CiVallo builds the infrastructure that makes local businesses the answer AI gives.

The Shift

Search changed.
Most businesses didn't.

Google is no longer where the decision happens. When someone needs an HVAC tech, a junk removal crew, or a plumber, they ask an AI — and the AI cites one or two businesses it trusts.

This isn't SEO. It's a different game with different rules. Most local businesses have zero infrastructure for it.

⚠

No AI Infrastructure

No llms.txt, no schema, no AI-readable content. AI crawlers skip you entirely.

◈

Competitors Get Cited Instead

National franchises with better AI infrastructure capture the answers meant for you.

↗

Revenue Leaves Invisibly

You never see the leads that went elsewhere. The gap compounds every month.

The CiVallo Framework

Six Dimensions of AI Visibility

AVaTR™ — AI Visibility & Trust Readiness — is CiVallo's proprietary scoring framework. It measures every signal that determines whether an AI model recommends your business.

◉

Google Business Profile

Review velocity, photo completeness, Q&A activity, and GBP signals that AI models pull from directly — including Google's Ask Maps (Gemini inside Google Maps), which crawls review text and photo metadata to answer conversational queries.

GBP Score
◈

Answer Engine Optimization

FAQ schema, conversational content, and featured-snippet structure that feeds AI answer pools.

AEO Score
⬡

Generative Engine Optimization

llms.txt deployment, AI crawlability, NAP consistency, and the signals that make you citable.

GEO Score
⟁

Schema & Structured Data

LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, and Review schema — the machine-readable layer AI engines depend on.

Schema Score
⬦

Social Presence & Pipeline

Cross-platform NAP consistency and social content that reinforces AI citation signals.

Social Score
★

AVaTR™ Composite

The probability that when someone asks "best [service] near [city]" to an AI, your business is the answer.

AVaTR™ Score
What it all adds up to

Your AVaTR™ Score

A single number from 0–100 representing your AI visibility across all six dimensions. Most local service businesses score below 40 based on initial AVaTR™ scans. The gap between where you are and where competitors are is measurable, fixable, and costing you real revenue.

What We Actually Measure

Your AVaTR™ Score
Explained Simply

Most SEO agencies optimize for Google rankings. We optimize for AI citations — a completely different signal. Here's exactly what goes into your score and why it matters.

GBP Integrity
25 pts

Your Google Business Profile is where AI pulls your name, category, reviews, and service area. A missing, unclaimed, or incomplete GBP means AI skips you entirely.

Schema Markup
25 pts

Structured data is the machine-readable layer that tells AI engines exactly what your business does, where you serve, and what customers say. Most local businesses have none.

AI Crawler Access
20 pts

ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity use their own crawlers to index the web. If your robots.txt blocks them — even accidentally — you're invisible to AI search entirely.

Review Velocity
15 pts

AI models use review recency and volume as a trust signal. A business with 200 reviews from three years ago scores lower than one with 40 reviews from the past six months.

Response Infrastructure
15 pts

When AI sends a lead your way, can they actually reach you? Working phone, contact form, and booking link — the missing pieces that cause leads to bounce before they convert.

How CiVallo Compares

Not SEO. Something New.

Traditional SEO agencies optimize for Google page rankings. That worked in 2019. AI search works differently — and most agencies aren't built for it yet.

GEO Proof of Concept

East Bay Select is a structured, AI-crawlable local business directory built entirely on CiVallo's GEO methodology. It demonstrates what happens when local business listings are built for AI discovery from the ground up — clean schema, llms.txt, static HTML, NAP standardization, and locally-authoritative structure that AI models can cite directly. It is the proof-of-concept infrastructure that no local Tri-Valley consultant can replicate.
