Client reviews
What clients say about working with AI Search Rankings
5.0 out of 5 on Google
-
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.

We hired AI Search Rankings to help improve our visibility in AI search, and we have been very happy with the experience. 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.

How ChatGPT answers
ChatGPT uses two sources of knowledge, and you can influence both
When someone asks ChatGPT which business to hire, the answer comes from what the model already learned or from web pages it finds by searching. Each source needs different work, so treating them as one problem wastes effort.
| Question | ChatGPT search answers | Answers from model knowledge |
|---|---|---|
| Where the information comes from | Live web pages that ChatGPT finds and links when it searches. | Content the model learned during training, before its knowledge cutoff. |
| How current it is | As current as the pages it reads today. | Only as current as the training data. |
| Which OpenAI crawler matters | OAI-SearchBot. OpenAI states blocked sites are not shown in ChatGPT search answers. | GPTBot. OpenAI documents it as collecting content that may be used for training. |
| What you can change this month | Crawler access, page facts, direct answers, and the outside listings that confirm them. | The consistency of public information that future training may read. |
| How we measure it | The recorded answer and the linked sources for each buyer question. | How ChatGPT describes your business when it does not search. |
Buyer question: Who is the best commercial cleaning company in Phoenix?
Two commercial cleaning companies are often recommended for offices in Phoenix.
Both list their service areas, insurance, and cleaning schedules on their websites.
Sources
- A commercial cleaning company service page
- A local business directory listing
- Your service page, once it states the same facts

This is the format, shown with illustrative questions. Every client record uses that client's own questions and competitors. See how AI visibility tracking records answers every month.
| Buyer question | Result | Sources used | Next change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who is the best commercial cleaning company in Phoenix? | Not named | A directory listing and a competitor service page | Add a service area statement and matching LocalBusiness markup |
| Which cleaning companies offer weekend office cleaning? | Named, details wrong | Your homepage and a review site | Correct the weekend hours shown on the review site |
| Is there an insured office cleaner near Tempe? | Named | Your insurance and service area page | Keep the insurance details current |

What we change
Five pieces of work that make ChatGPT's job easy
Each piece removes a reason ChatGPT skips or misdescribes a business. They run every month at the amount your package covers.
-
Crawler access confirmed
We check robots.txt and firewall rules so OAI-SearchBot can reach your pages, and we set GPTBot to match your training decision. Read about AI crawler policy.
-
One set of facts everywhere
Your services, service area, hours, and credentials are made identical across your website, Google Business Profile, listings, and page code. See entity SEO.
-
Answers ChatGPT can quote
Short, direct answers sit under the questions buyers ask, so there is a clean sentence to use instead of a sales paragraph. See AI content optimization.
-
Outside confirmation
Directory, association, and industry listings state the same facts, so your claims are backed up somewhere other than your own website. See local SEO and AI search.
-
Monthly answer tracking
The same buyer questions are asked every month, and the report lists the answers next to the work shipped, so you can connect cause and effect. See AI visibility tracking.
-
The same work helps other AI tools
Clear facts and direct answers also help Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot, with no charge per tool.
What a page ChatGPT can quote looks like
The same service page before and after the work. The change is structure and facts, not length.
Typical service page
- The first lines say nothing a buyer asked about.
- Facts differ from the Google Business Profile.
- No question headings, so there is no clean sentence to quote.
A page ChatGPT can quote
- The first lines answer the buyer question directly.
- Facts match the profile, the listings, and the page code.
- Each question has a short answer ChatGPT can repeat accurately.

Checked against vendor documentation
Which OpenAI crawlers to allow, and what each one controls
OpenAI publishes separate crawlers for different jobs. Allowing the right one keeps you visible in ChatGPT, and blocking the wrong one can remove you without any warning on your website.
Search and answer crawlers
OAI-SearchBotChatGPT-User
Keep these allowed so your pages stay eligible for AI answers.
Model training controls
GPTBot
Allow or block these as a business decision. Each vendor documents them separately from its search crawler.
| Crawler | What it does | What blocking it changes | Our default |
|---|---|---|---|
OAI-SearchBot | Finds pages that can be shown in ChatGPT search answers. | OpenAI states that sites opted out of OAI-SearchBot will not be shown in ChatGPT search answers. | Allow |
GPTBot | Collects content that may be used to train OpenAI models. | Blocking it tells OpenAI not to use your content for model training. Appearance in ChatGPT search is controlled separately by OAI-SearchBot. | Your choice |
ChatGPT-User | Visits a page when a ChatGPT user asks a question that needs it. | OpenAI states that robots.txt rules may not apply because a person started the visit, and that this agent does not decide whether content appears in search. | Allow |
What the documentation says
- OpenAI states that a robots.txt change can take about 24 hours to take effect.
The rule most people miss. Under the robots.txt standard, a crawler obeys the most specific group that names it. If you add a group for one crawler, that crawler stops reading your "User-agent: *" rules, so any private folders you block there must be blocked again inside the new group.
# Keep ChatGPT search able to show your pages.
# A crawler follows only the most specific group that names it,
# so copy every Disallow line from your "User-agent: *" group
# into this group as well.
User-agent: OAI-SearchBot
Allow: /
# Opt out of OpenAI model training. This does not remove
# you from ChatGPT search.
User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /Test changes in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools after you publish them.

Measured on Microsoft Copilot, not ChatGPT
Verified result
26,300Microsoft Copilot citations
Toolsforhuman.com Microsoft Copilot
AI Search Rankings used schema-first Answer Engine Optimization, layered JSON-LD, robust canonicals, and multilingual hreflang to help Toolsforhuman.com earn 26,300 Microsoft Copilot citations across 160 plus pages, including Spanish-language pages, in a sample window of about three months.
Limitation. The result applies to the documented sample window and does not guarantee future citations.

Measured on Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, not ChatGPT
Client-reported private Google Search Console result
4,460Google generative AI impressions
Laser Tagging Inc. Google AI Overviews and AI Mode
AI Search Rankings rebuilt the Laser Tagging Inc. digital brand and website, expanded its service-area relevance across Newark, Fremont, San Jose, and nearby Bay Area communities, and documented 4,460 client-reported Google generative AI impressions in the selected last-three-month window.
Limitation. The report measures Google generative AI impressions. It does not prove a ChatGPT recommendation, a click, a booking, a lead, or revenue.
Newer data shared by the client: a Google Search performance export for search type Web shows 6,109 impressions in the last 3 months as of September 13, 2026, compared with 947 in the previous 3 months. That total covers all Google web results, not only AI features. Checked September 13, 2026. Open the search performance export shared by Laser Tagging Inc. (opens in a new tab)

National, B2B, SaaS, or online business
Our three published packages were built around local and service-area businesses, which is why their names say Local. National, B2B, SaaS, and online businesses are also served, and the work itself is the same: buyer questions tracked, pages improved, facts corrected, and results reported.
What changes is what the questions and pages cover, such as products, categories, comparisons, and several markets. Start with the free package fit review. We compare your buyer questions, pages, and competitors against the published scopes and confirm in writing whether one of them fits before any work starts.

ChatGPT optimization questions, answered
Plain answers to the questions buyers ask most. If yours is not here, ask a strategist directly.
What is ChatGPT optimization?
ChatGPT optimization is the work of making your business easy for ChatGPT to find, describe correctly, and recommend. It covers crawler access for ChatGPT search, consistent business facts across your website and listings, short answers ChatGPT can quote, and outside websites that confirm the same details.
How does ChatGPT decide which businesses to recommend?
ChatGPT answers from what its model learned in training and, when it searches, from live web pages it can reach. OpenAI does not publish a ranking formula, so no honest agency can list one. What is known is that ChatGPT search can only show pages OpenAI allows OAI-SearchBot to crawl, and that clear facts confirmed by several sources are easier to repeat accurately.
Does blocking GPTBot remove my website from ChatGPT search?
No. OpenAI documents GPTBot as the crawler that collects content that may be used to train its models, and OAI-SearchBot as the crawler for ChatGPT search. Blocking GPTBot opts your content out of training. To appear in ChatGPT search answers, OAI-SearchBot must be allowed.
How long does a robots.txt change take to affect ChatGPT search?
OpenAI states that it can take about 24 hours from a robots.txt update for its systems to adjust. Changes to how ChatGPT describes your business take longer, because they depend on when your pages and other sources are read again.
Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No. OpenAI owns ChatGPT and changes it without notice, so no honest company can guarantee a recommendation. We guarantee the work: the questions tested, the facts fixed, the pages rebuilt, the listings corrected, and a monthly report that shows the actual answers.
How do you track what ChatGPT says about my business?
We ask the same buyer questions on the same schedule every month and record whether you were named, which competitors were named, and what was said about you. That is 25 questions at $799 per month, 50 to 75 at $1,500, and 150 to 250 at $3,500.
How long before ChatGPT describes my business differently?
There is no fixed date, and we will not invent one. Access fixes can register within days. Changes in the description depend on how quickly corrected sources are read again and how consistently other websites confirm your facts, so progress is measured monthly against a recorded starting point.
Does ChatGPT optimization also help with Google?
Yes. Consistent facts, direct answers, and pages that load cleanly also help Google Search and Google AI Overviews. Google states that no special schema or AI text file is required for its AI features, so the same clarity work serves both.
How much do ChatGPT optimization services cost?
ChatGPT optimization is included in the packages at $799, $1,500, or $3,500 per month. Businesses buying this work specifically usually start at $1,500, because engine level work benefits from two to three pages rebuilt every month.
Do you work with national and B2B brands, or only local businesses?
Both. The published packages were built around local and service-area businesses, and national, B2B, SaaS, and online businesses are also served. A free package fit review compares your buyer questions and pages with the published scopes before any work starts.
