About

A small team with one narrow obsession.

We build AI visibility infrastructure for businesses that want to be recommended, not just findable.

Why we exist

We noticed the recommendation moved.

For twenty years the fight was over a list of links. You optimized, you advertised, you tried to get onto page one, and page one had ten slots on it.

Then people started asking assistants instead. An assistant does not give you ten slots. It gives you a sentence with two or three names in it. That is not a smaller version of the old game. It is a different game, and almost nobody in local business is playing it on purpose yet.

Surfaced AI exists to play it on purpose, for businesses that do not have a marketing department and should not need one.

Then. Ten slots.Now. Three names. There is no page two.

How we work

Six things we hold to.

This industry attracts a lot of noise. These are the lines we do not cross, written down so you can hold us to them.

1

We do not promise rankings

Nobody controls what a model says. We tell you what we can influence, which is the sources it reads, and we do not dress that up as a guarantee.

2

No fake anything

No bot accounts, no invented reviews, no astroturfed threads. Beyond being dishonest, it gets you removed from the exact places you need to be.

3

You see it before it is public

Nothing launches without your sign off. That is why the launch fee is separate from the build fee.

4

You can leave

Cancel the monthly whenever. Keep the site and get the export. Lock in is a business model, not a service.

5

You talk to a person

You get a project manager, by name, and you can go to them directly. Ask for someone specific on the order form and they will be assigned to you.

6

We tell you when it is not for you

If your category has no AI search behavior worth chasing yet, we would rather say so than take $399 for something that will not pay you back.

From the founder

Why you are hearing this from me directly.

I started Surfaced AI because I kept noticing the same thing on calls. Business owners knew people were using ChatGPT. Almost none of them had considered that it might be recommending their competitor by name, every day, to customers they will never hear from.

I am not going to send you a deck full of invented case studies. We are new, the category is new, and I would rather you judge us on how we structure the deal than on numbers I could type into a slide.

So here is the deal, plainly. You pay $399 and we build the whole thing. You look at it. If you do not like it, we stop there and nothing goes live. If you do, the second $399 launches it, and the monthly keeps it growing. You can cancel that whenever you want and keep the site.

If you have a question you would rather ask a person than read on a page, email me and you will get me, not a sales sequence.

Client feedback

What clients are saying.

The same client words that appear on the home page, continued.

★★★★★

“We’re a small company, so we’re careful about where we spend money on marketing. Surfaced gave us a way to build our presence without committing thousands of dollars to ads every month. That was a big reason we decided to move forward.”

Carter & Sons Roofing
★★★★★

“The setup was surprisingly fast. They handled the website, helped organize how our business was represented online, and gave us a strategy for AI search that we never would have figured out ourselves.”

Beverly Hills Auto Care
★★★★★

“What I appreciated was that they weren’t trying to completely change our business. They took what we already had and helped make it easier for search engines and AI platforms to understand what we do and where we work.”

Golden State Drain & Rooter
★★★★★

“Surfaced felt more like having somebody on our team than hiring another marketing company. They explained what they were doing, moved quickly, and gave us a system we could actually understand.”
