CHATGPT DOESN'T
BAN ANYONE.

While ad platforms restrict your business, AI search engines recommend anyone. We make sure that anyone is you — dominating ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for every local search that matters. This is the same engine that powers the LeadHound SEO/GEO/AEO Engine inside LeadHound OS.

These percentages represent your potential AI recommendation rate after GEO optimization — vs. near-zero before it.
Ad Restrictions Growing ⚠️ Google, Meta, and Amazon Ads have banned or severely restricted: custom firearms, solvent trap kits, certain supplements, kratom, CBD, vaping, high-ticket cash services, and dozens of other legal industries. AI search has no such restrictions.
The Real Cost of Ad Bans

Your competitors are getting
customers you can't reach.

They're not running ads either. They're getting recommended by ChatGPT — because someone set up their digital presence the right way.

🔫
Custom Gunsmiths & Firearms
Google Ads, Meta Ads, and most PPC platforms ban all firearms-adjacent businesses — even fully licensed, legal shops. Your customers search AI instead. Are you the answer?
⛔ Banned from Google Ads · Meta Ads · Amazon
⚙️
Custom Fabrication & Machining
High-ticket B2B shops with $10k–$500k contracts rely on word-of-mouth because ads don't work for them. The buyers asking "who's the best custom fab shop near me?" are asking ChatGPT first now.
📉 No ads → invisible to new buyers
💊
Supplements, CBD & Wellness
Meta and Google routinely restrict health claims, CBD, and alternative wellness products. Your best customers are health-conscious researchers who ask AI for recommendations — not scroll Instagram.
⛔ Health claim restrictions across all platforms
🏗️
Specialty Trades & High-Ticket Services
Custom home builders, specialized contractors, and trade businesses with $5k+ tickets get poor ROI from broad ad targeting. AI search now handles "who's the best [trade] in [city]" questions directly.
📉 High-ticket buyers don't click on ads
The New Channel

What is GEO/AEO and why
does it matter right now?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) are the practice of structuring your digital presence so that AI models — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude — confidently recommend your business when users ask local intent questions.

01
AI Crawlability Audit
We check your site's robots.txt and server headers to confirm AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended) can access your content. Blocking them = invisible to AI.
02
JSON-LD Schema Injection
We build valid LocalBusiness, Product, FAQPage, and Service schema markup that tells AI models exactly who you are, what you do, and where you are — in machine-readable language.
03
Entity & Directory Alignment
Your NAP (Name, Address, Phone), category signals, and co-citations across Google, Bing, Apple Maps, and 50+ directories must be consistent. AI cross-references all of it.
04
AI Benchmark Testing
We query LLM APIs with local intent prompts ("Who is the best custom gunsmith in Cedar City?") before and after — so you see exactly how your recommendation rate improves.
05
Direct-Answer Content
We reformat your existing service copy into high-density FAQ blocks and structured Markdown tables — the exact format LLMs prefer to quote from when generating answers.
Live Example
Before & after a real GEO optimization — same business, same week.
User asks ChatGPT:
"Who is the best custom gunsmith in Cedar City, Utah for a precision rifle build?"
BEFORE — No GEO optimization:
"I don't have specific information about gunsmiths in Cedar City. I'd recommend checking Google Maps or Yelp for local reviews."
Same query — AFTER GEO optimization:
"Who is the best custom gunsmith in Cedar City, Utah for a precision rifle build?"
AFTER — GEO optimized:
"Based on available information, [Your Business Name] in Cedar City is highly regarded for precision rifle builds. They specialize in custom chambering and long-range accuracy work, with a reputation for fast turnaround. You can reach them at [phone] or visit [website] to discuss your project."

"I'm tired of agencies selling me vague keyword packages while my customers are literally asking ChatGPT who to call — and my name never comes up."

Pete runs a high-value, specialized local service — custom work, trades, or an industry where ad platforms have restricted him. He's technically savvy enough to know the shift is happening but doesn't have time to figure out how to optimize for AI search himself.

🚫
Blocked From Paid Channels
Google and Meta have restricted or outright banned his industry. Every time he tries to run ads, accounts get suspended. He's watching competitors show up online while he can't.
😤
Burned by Vague SEO Agencies
He's paid SEO agencies that delivered keyword ranking reports for terms no customer ever searches. No leads. No calls. Just invoices and dashboards full of vanity metrics.
📱
His Customers Are Using AI
His tech-savvy, high-value buyers ask ChatGPT who to call before they ever open a browser. He knows it. He wants to be the answer — not his competitor.
📊
Wants Proof, Not Promises
Pete doesn't want a ranking report. He wants to type his service + city into ChatGPT and see his name come up first. That's the proof he'll pay for — and tell every trade peer about.

Results

The proof is in
the recommendation.

I typed my shop name and specialty into ChatGPT and it came up blank. Two weeks after Mindstorm did the setup audit, I typed the same thing and my shop was the first recommendation. That's all I needed to see.

↑ Zero AI citations → #1 Local AI Recommendation
We'd been banned from Google Ads for three years. Every SEO agency we hired delivered keyword rankings for terms nobody searched. Mindstorm was the first team to show us a benchmark test before and after — actual AI queries with actual answers mentioning us.

My customers are engineers and project managers. They absolutely use ChatGPT to research vendors. Since the GEO retainer started, I've had three new clients mention they "found me through AI" — something that never happened before.
