AI optimization: be the business ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI recommend in Minneapolis.
A growing share of homeowners now ask an AI assistant "who is the best roofer near me" instead of scrolling results. Those answers come from sources you can influence. We make sure you are one of them.
Search is splitting. Google still matters, but AI Overviews now sit above the results, and millions of people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot for local recommendations directly. These systems do not rank ten blue links; they synthesize an answer and name two or three businesses. FluxKore Labs helps Minneapolis service businesses become the businesses that get named.
AI optimization, also called generative engine optimization (GEO) or answer engine optimization (AEO), is the practice of making your business legible, credible and quotable to large language models. It builds on strong local SEO but goes further into structure, entity consistency and the kind of content AI systems prefer to cite.
AI Optimization, done for you
How AI assistants decide who to recommend
Language models lean on a handful of sources when answering local questions: Google Business Profile data, review platforms, well-structured websites with clear schema, local news and directories, and content that answers questions directly in plain language. They favor businesses whose name, services, location and reputation are described consistently everywhere. Contradictions and thin pages get skipped.
We begin with a visibility baseline: a set of 25 to 50 prompts your customers might ask, run across the major assistants monthly, to see whether you appear, what they say about you and who they name instead.
Making your business quotable
On your website we restructure key pages into direct answers: what you do, for whom, where, at what price range, with what guarantees. We add complete schema for your organization, services, FAQs and reviews, publish plain-language explainer content for the questions in your category and make sure every fact about your business matches across your profile, directories and social accounts.
We also pursue the mentions AI systems trust: local press, association listings, supplier and manufacturer partner pages, community sponsorships and expert quotes. These earn citations from models the way backlinks earn rankings from Google.
Tracked like a campaign
Each month you get a report showing share of voice across assistants, the prompts you appear for, sentiment of what the AI says, and the competitors being recommended. As the models update, the plan updates with them.

AI Optimization questions, answered
Is AI optimization the same as SEO?
It overlaps but is not the same. SEO earns rankings in a list; AI optimization earns a mention in a synthesized answer. Strong local SEO is the foundation, and AI optimization adds structure, consistency and citation work aimed at language models specifically.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. We can measurably increase how often and how favorably you appear across a defined set of prompts, and we report that number every month.
How much does AI optimization cost?
The baseline audit is $750. Ongoing programs run $900 to $2,200 per month, and are usually bundled with local SEO because the two compound each other.
Does this help with Google AI Overviews too?
Yes. AI Overviews draw on the same kinds of structured, direct-answer content and trusted sources, so the work improves your presence there as well as in standalone assistants.
Which businesses benefit most?
Any service where people ask for a recommendation: home services, medical and dental, legal, financial and professional services. If customers ask friends "who do you use," they are now asking AI the same thing.
