The Denver AI Discovery Problem
Local Business Query
What happens: AI recommends 5 Denver coffee shops. Your shop with 500+ five-star reviews isn't mentioned because AI doesn't know you exist.
Impact: Lost foot traffic from out-of-town visitors and new residents asking AI.
Professional Services
What happens: ChatGPT lists 3 accounting firms. None are you, despite 20 years serving Denver startups.
Impact: High-value clients go to competitors AI happens to know about.
Service Area Business
What happens: AI provides detailed recommendations for other inspectors, including pricing and availability. You're invisible.
Impact: New homebuyers never discover your business during the busiest season.
