Why AI isn’t recommending you (yet)


Most people think they have an SEO problem.

What they actually have is a visibility problem with AI.

I see this a lot.

A business has:

  • a solid website
  • decent traffic
  • clear services

But when you ask ChatGPT or Gemini:

👉 “Who should I hire for this?”

They don’t show up.

Not because they’re not good.

Because AI doesn’t understand or trust what it’s reading.


I tested this recently on a few sites (including my own).

And the pattern was consistent:

  • weak or unclear About pages
  • no structured answers
  • missing trust signals
  • positioning that makes sense to humans… but not to AI

I also talked about this on Linkedin and I got a lot feedback. Lots of people wanted real help.

So I am hosting a live workshop next week.

We take your About Page and improve it in real time so AI can actually recommend you.


Get Recommended by AI: Fix Your About Page Live

  • Small group (10–12 people)
  • Live feedback + real edits
  • March 26 at 1pm ET

If your traffic feels flat or inconsistent lately, this is probably why.

And it’s fixable.

The solution for this: Projects. 2️⃣ One Visibility Tip: Projects Work Because of Instructions and Files Projects aren’t just folders. They’re context containers. Two things make them powerful:...

One story I reviewed a site this week for a service-based business that was frustrated they weren’t being recommended by AI. They had solid services. Good reviews. Decent traffic. But when I asked ChatGPT who they were and who they help… the answer was vague. Why? Their About page was doing what most About pages do: talking around the business listing credentials without context focusing on personality instead of clarity Humans could skim it and “get the vibe.”AI couldn’t tell who to...

One Story: “We Just Opened — Why Can’t Anyone Find Us?” On a recent client call, I was talking with a local service-based business that opened a second location in 2025. They said something I hear pretty often from businesses: “Our original location does great… but the new one isn’t showing up anywhere. It feels like we don’t exist.” So we pulled up the data. Their original location? Steady searches, consistent traffic, busy office, solid brand recognition. The new location? Barely any...
