Inspired by The SEO Guy (@theseoguy_). Original post: to rank in AI, hammer Google basics first. This is a new Tygart article for restoration contractors. We kept the mechanism, added first-party field knowledge, and did not reprint the thread.
There are hundreds of AI-ranking theories. The usable list is still the boring one. Fast site. A page for each service you want the phone to ring for. Links to those pages. A filled-out Google Business Profile. More reviews than the shop you lose jobs to. Fresh photos and review replies on the pin.
Restoration version of “each service”: water, sewage, mold, fire, pack-out. Not one “full-service restoration” blob. Models and Maps both need a URL that matches the words the homeowner used.
Do not buy an “AI SEO” package while the pin still says Contractor, the last photo is a picnic, and sewage has no page. Auxiliary stuff after the basics hold.
