I have worked with Jagdeep Singh, founder of AI Search Rankings, on Laser Tagging Inc., and the results have been excellent.

Jagdeep and his team built our website and completely improved how our business is positioned online. They understood our services, how customers search for us, where we were losing potential bookings, and what needed to change to turn more traffic into actual customers.
One of the biggest wins has been our visibility in AI search. Laser Tagging Inc. has become much easier to find and is now being recommended more often across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google Gemini, and Google Search.
The work has had a real impact on the business. We have generated more revenue, improved the customer journey, and fixed areas where we were previously losing customers and bookings.
What impressed me most about Jagdeep is his understanding of both traditional SEO and Answer Engine Optimization. He knows how to position a business so search engines and AI platforms can clearly understand what the company does, trust the information, and recommend it when people are looking for those services.
He is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, communicates clearly, and most importantly, follows through and gets the work done.
I am very happy with the results and highly recommend Jagdeep and AI Search Rankings to any business owner who wants to grow their visibility, become a recommended answer in AI search, and turn that visibility into real business and revenue.

Google Review: I've worked with Jagdeep Singh, the founder of AI Search Rankings, on several projects, including Mr. Locksmith Lockout, Family Junk Removal Cleanout, and other businesses across different industries.

What sets Jagdeep apart is that he understands where search is heading. He doesn't just build websites or focus on traditional SEO. He brings real expertise in Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), helping businesses become easier for Google, Google Maps, ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and other AI search engines to find, understand, trust, and recommend.
For my locksmith business, he took the time to understand our services, locations, and what customers actually need when searching for help. He and his team built our websites around those needs, with clear service information, local coverage, and easy ways for customers to call or text us.
What I appreciate most is that Jagdeep doesn't just give recommendations and leave the work to someone else. He deve
lops the strategy, handles the implementation, listens to feedback, and follows through. He understands that a website needs to do more than look good. It needs to help the business get found and turn visitors into customers.
After working with Jagdeep on multiple projects, I highly recommend AI Search Rankings to business owners looking for a knowledgeable, reliable partner in website development, SEO, and Answer Engine Optimization.

Jagdeep took the time to understand our business, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and showed us where we were missing opportunities.
They worked on our Answer Engine Optimization and helped improve how our business is presented and understood by platforms like ChatGPT and Google. What I appreciated most was that Jagdeep did not just give us recommendations. He actually helped us make the improvements and had a clear reason behind everything he recommended.
AI search was completely new to us when we started, but the whole process has been straightforward and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend AI Search Rankings to any business that wants to improve its online visibility and prepare for the way people are searching today.

Why Oakland Businesses Need AI Search Optimization
Oakland has emerged as the East Bay's innovation hub, with thriving tech startups, healthcare systems, creative agencies, and professional services firms. As AI search adoption accelerates, with 47% of Google searches now showing AI Overviews, Oakland businesses face a critical window to establish authority before competitors dominate AI citations.
Traditional SEO focused on ranking #1 in search results. But today, AI Answer engines synthesize answers from authoritative sources. If your business isn't optimized for AI citation, you're invisible to a growing majority of searchers who rely on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI features.
