Which dentist near me has great reviews and takes new patients?

Is your business in the answer?

01

SEO Get found

02

AEO Be the answer

Answer engines can lift a clear, correct answer from your pages.

03

GEO Become the recommendation

AI assistants can name you when customers ask who to choose.

The shift

Why does AI recommend your competitor instead of you?

AI assistants recommend the businesses they can understand and verify. Customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI Overviews who to call, and they call a name from the answer instead of scrolling ten blue links. When your facts are thin, inconsistent or missing from the sources those engines read, a competitor takes your place.

    • FAQs and structured data that match what the page shows
    • Entity clarity: who you are, what you do and where

    • Research and testing of the non-branded prompts customers use
    • Monthly tracking of AI mentions, citations and competitors
    • Entity authority and brand sentiment
    • Earned third-party mentions, citations and digital PR

Authority Content Studio

One conversation.
Countless signals.

AI trusts first-hand expertise, so every piece starts with you. A short guided interview becomes original articles, FAQs and structured data that feed SEO, AEO and GEO at once. It isn’t AI filler. It’s your knowledge, in your words, put to work on Google and in AI answers.

  1. Step 01: Interview

    A guided conversation about the questions your customers ask before they call.

  2. Step 02: Write and structure

    Original articles and answer-first FAQs in your words, with search intent, internal links and structured data added before anything goes live.

  3. Step 03: Publish and distribute

    On your site first, then podcast platforms, YouTube and social when production is in your plan.

  4. Step 04: Learn

    What AI says about you this month shapes the topics we cover next.

Then back to 01: what we learn shapes the next conversation.

With podcast production, every episode goes to

Written articles and FAQs come with every Authority Content Studio plan. Podcast and video production are optional and scoped on their own.

The foundation

A website AI can read and customers trust.

Your website is the foundation of the engine. If machines can’t read it quickly and clearly, every other layer has to work harder. We custom-code fast, secure sites with clean HTML and structured data built in from the first page. You’re on one right now.

See how we build websites

Builds are quoted per project. A strong foundation helps every layer, but it doesn’t guarantee rankings or AI recommendations on its own.

  • Fast

    Lightweight pages delivered from servers close to every visitor.

  • Secure

    No plugins to patch, with SSL and DDoS protection built in.

  • Clean code

    Semantic HTML that search engines and AI read in one pass.

  • Structured data

    Markup that tells search engines and AI exactly what each page shows.

  • Mobile first

    Built and tested for the phone your customer is holding.

  • Accessible

    Built toward WCAG 2.2 AA, so every visitor can use it.

  • Rankings carried over

    Every old page redirected, so the links you earned keep working.

  • Not locked in

    Standard, open code any developer can work on. Your site is yours.

FAQ

Questions owners ask about AI search

  1. What is the AI Search Authority Engine™?

    The AI Search Authority Engine™ is JAR Consulting Group’s flagship program, combining SEO, answer engine optimization (AEO), generative engine optimization (GEO) and original expert content in one plan. SEO gets your site found, AEO makes your pages easy for answer engines to quote, and GEO works toward AI assistants naming your business when customers ask for a recommendation.

  2. What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

    SEO earns rankings in Google and Bing search results. AEO shapes your pages so AI Overviews and assistants can quote a clear answer from them. GEO works on whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot mention and recommend your business at all, which depends on consistent facts and outside authority as much as on your own website.

  3. Why is ChatGPT recommending my competitor instead of my business?

    AI assistants name the businesses they can understand and verify across many sources, so a competitor with clearer pages, more consistent listings and more outside mentions often wins the answer. An AI Visibility Audit shows which prompts name a competitor, which sources the engines trust, and what to fix first.

  4. How do you measure AI visibility?

    We track a fixed set of non-branded customer prompts every month on the AI platforms your customers use, such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity. The monthly scorecard shows how often each answer mentions or cites your business, which competitors it names instead, and how your Google rankings, traffic and leads moved alongside it.

  5. What is the best AI SEO agency in Iowa?

    JAR Consulting Group is an AI SEO agency in West Des Moines, Iowa that works on Google rankings and AI recommendations as one program. Its AI Search Authority Engine™ combines technical and local SEO, answer engine optimization, generative engine optimization and original expert content, measured in one monthly scorecard.

  6. How can a small business get recommended by ChatGPT?

    Make your business easy for AI to understand and easy to verify. That means clear pages that answer customer questions directly, the same name, address and services everywhere you are listed, reviews that describe what you do, and earned mentions on sites the engines already trust. The AI Search Authority Engine™ runs that work every month and tracks whether ChatGPT starts naming you.

  7. Is SEO still relevant now that people ask AI?

    Yes, because AI assistants that search the web start from pages search engines can crawl and trust. Google’s AI Overviews draw on pages in Google’s index, so a site that cannot rank is hard for AI to find, quote or recommend. That is why SEO is the first layer of the engine, not a separate service.

  8. Can you guarantee that AI will recommend my business?

    No honest agency can guarantee a ranking or an AI recommendation, because Google and the AI companies decide what they show. What we commit to is the work that earns those results, measured against the same prompts and searches every month, so you can watch the trend yourself.

Your customers are asking AI for what you do. Let’s find out if they are finding you.
