AI Search Marketing · Bloomington, IL

YOUR
CUSTOMERS
ARE ASKING
AI.
WE MAKE
IT PICK YOU.

Below Zero Media gets local businesses recommended by ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity — the new front door to your phone ringing. Find out where you stand in 60 seconds.

Asking ChatGPT, Live
The Problem

AI DECIDES
WHO GETS THE
CALL.

Traditional SEO isn't enough. AI search is the new front door to your business — and most local companies aren't even in the building.

Problem 01

AI Doesn't Know You Exist

When someone asks ChatGPT "best HVAC in Bloomington," does your name come up? For most local businesses, the answer is no — and that's a call you're losing.

Problem 02

You're Invisible Online

No website, outdated Google listing, unanswered reviews. Your competitors are getting the calls that should be yours — just because they're easier to find.

Problem 03

Agencies Charge Too Much

Big agencies want $2,000–$5,000/month and lock you into contracts. You need results, not a second mortgage and a quarterly review call.

How It Works

THE AI SEARCH
STACK I BUILD
FOR YOU.

Five layers. Each one teaches a different AI engine to recommend your business. This is the actual anatomy of what you're paying for — no black box.

1

Audit Your Visibility

We run your business through ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude, Perplexity, and Siri with the exact queries your customers are typing. You see where you show up and who's in the answer instead of you.

2

Build the Five Layers

Schema markup, GBP optimization, conversational FAQ content, review ops, IndexNow + directory citations. Each is a deliverable you can inspect. Nothing hidden behind "proprietary secret sauce."

3

Report in Plain English

Monthly: what we did, what changed in AI-search results, what the phone did. Three sections, no chart junk, no jargon. If it didn't move, we tell you why and what we're changing next.

4

Your Phone Rings

More AI recommendations → more clicks → more calls. No ad spend required. No movement in 90 days? Walk — no contract, no retention call. That's the commitment we make to every client.

From Joshua

I BUILT THIS BECAUSE
HIRING AN AGENCY
SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE
A SECOND MORTGAGE.

I watched businesses pay $3,000–$5,000 a month to agencies that couldn't explain what they did. Reports full of chart junk, zero phone calls. Meanwhile AI search — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity — was quietly replacing the old front door to their business, and nobody was showing up on the other side of it.

So we built the thing that should have existed. Transparent pricing. A lean team that runs circles around firms charging 5x more. Results you can read without a decoder ring.

If AI isn't already recommending your business when someone in Bloomington asks for "the best" of what you do — that's a gap we close.
