Your customers still ask for a recommendation. Now they ask ChatGPT.
And ChatGPT answers with a handful of names. If yours isn't one of them, that customer never reaches out, and you never find out.
Someone in 🇺🇸 is searching:
Is your name in that answer?

WE OPTIMIZE YOUR BUSINESS TO BE CITED IN
AI doesn't give ten results. It gives a handful of names.
Before booking, your customers ask an AI: "who's the best [service] in my city?" On Google, landing on page two still counted. In a ChatGPT answer there is no page two: you're among the names, or you don't exist.

We make AI recommend you.
your business
We audit
We map exactly which queries cite your business (and which don't) across the 5 leading AI platforms.
We optimize
We fix what AI reads about you: your site, your Google profile, your reviews, and the pages that answer your customers' questions.
We report
Every month you get a dashboard with every citation won, against which competitors, on which queries.
New clients, without paying per click.
With Google or Meta Ads, the day you stop paying, you disappear. Here you don't pay per click: the work stays on your site and in what AI reads about you.
Built for businesses where 1 new customer pays for the service.
If your average ticket is four figures or more, this is for you.

Frequently asked
How fast can I start showing up?
First changes are measured at one month. The full result, at 90 days.
How do you measure citations?
With our own engine, built in house. It asks the 5 main AI platforms (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews) the same buying questions your customers ask, and records when you show up and when your direct competitors do. The full method is published at referido.pro/en/methodology/, sample and counting rules included. You receive a monthly dashboard with the results.
Does this replace SEO?
No. It complements it. SEO captures clicks; AEO captures zero-click searches, which are now the majority.
Do you work with U.S. and Canadian businesses?
Yes. The service is built for North American businesses as much as Latin American ones. Audits, deliverables, and reporting all run in English by default.
What does the free audit include?
A PDF with: which queries cite you (and which don't), which competitors crowd you out, and the 3 prioritized gaps costing you the most visibility.
Is AI recommending you, or your competition?
Your free audit shows which searches you appear in, who takes your spot when you don't, and the gaps costing you the most.
