ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI answer "who should I hire?" with two or three names — not ten blue links. SummitCited works the inputs that decide those names, and proves every finding with a screenshot.
Now booking audits across Utah County — a limited number of clients at a time.
SummitCited is a Utah County generative engine optimization (GEO) and SEO firm that gets local service businesses recommended by AI search engines. We audit exactly how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI answer your customers' questions, then fix the inputs those engines actually read: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, the directories they quote, your site structure, and your structured data. Every finding is verified live with screenshots and reported monthly — and we never guarantee a ranking.
AI engines do not crawl a secret ranking list — they assemble answers from a handful of sources they trust about local businesses. There are seven levers that move those sources, and every SummitCited package works all seven in priority order.
The entity record engines trust most — categories, services, hours, Q&A, photos.
Volume, recency, and rating — plus the exact words your customers use.
The "best of" pages engines quote verbatim when asked for a recommendation.
Question-shaped pages, one per service and town, at URLs that mean something.
Schema markup that hands machines your facts instead of hoping they infer them.
Answers to the questions buyers actually type, written to be quoted.
The same questions re-run monthly, so movement is measured instead of assumed.
Found First executes every lever in priority sequence, then reports the movement each month.
Invisibility is silent. A licensed, 5-star Utah County roofing contractor — rated higher than nearly every competitor that beat it — was named in zero of ten buyer questions run live across ChatGPT and Google AI. That included the insurance-claims question that is the company's own stated specialty. Competitors were named every single time.
From a live SummitCited audit, Utah County, July 2026. Client name withheld. Nothing about a full schedule tells you the machines have written you out — which is exactly why the audit exists.
Three doors, one destination: named in the answer. Start wherever you're comfortable — every dollar you spend on an audit or the playbook is credited toward implementation, so nobody pays twice.
The 12 questions your customers actually ask, run live across four AI engines with screenshots. Who gets recommended, where you don't exist, why the winners win, and a prioritized fix list. Delivered in five business days.

When a customer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI who to call, the engine names two or three businesses instead of returning ten links. Generative engine optimization is the work of becoming one of those names, by fixing the inputs the engines actually read: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, the directories and best-of lists they quote, your site structure, and your structured data.
The audit is $99 and is delivered within five business days. You get twelve real buyer questions from your trade run live across four AI engines with screenshots, a results grid showing who was recommended and where you were absent, an explanation of why the winners win, and a prioritized fix list. The full $99 is credited toward any SummitCited package within 30 days.
No, and no one legitimately can. AI answers vary from run to run and no engine sells placement. SummitCited sells verified snapshots of where you stand, consistent execution against the inputs the engines read, and monthly reports showing movement. Anyone promising a guaranteed AI ranking is not telling the truth.
Expect movement in months, not days. Review velocity and Google Business Profile changes commonly show effects within four to eight weeks, while directory placements and site restructuring compound over a quarter. That is why a monthly monitor report is built into every package rather than sold as an extra.
Found First is $5,000 setup plus $250 per month for trade services, and $10,000–$15,000 setup plus $750 per month for compliance-heavy industries, because the citation and directory work differs by industry. Some industries we decline outright, and fit is confirmed on the strategy call before anyone pays. There is no long-term contract, and any audit or playbook you already bought is credited in full toward the setup fee.
Because the methods are not the hard part; the 40-plus hours of unfamiliar execution is. Owners with time save thousands doing the work themselves from the $2,000 Capability Deck, and owners without time learn exactly what they would be paying for. The $2,000 is credited toward implementation within 60 days either way.
SummitCited serves Utah County, Utah, including Provo, Orem, Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Spanish Fork, Springville, Payson, Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Vineyard, Lindon, Highland, Alpine, and Mapleton. Audits are run remotely, so businesses outside Utah County can be served as well.
