GetLead

SEO got you to page one. AI doesn't care.

When a potential customer asks ChatGPT "best plumber near me" or checks Google's AI summary — traditional rankings don't determine who appears. Citation signals do. Entity consistency does. Schema does. On our rubric, those three—citations, consistent entity data, and structured markup—often sit under 50 for shops that only ever tuned classic search.

GetLead focuses on that stack for local teams: mention-rate benchmarks, citeable signals, and a ranked plan — without requiring a 12-seat agency or a six-month retainer.

How teams run GetLead

Three steps from score to execution — built for owners who need customers, not jargon.

  1. 01

    Run a 2-minute audit

    Add your website, niche, city, and Google Business Profile link. We run completion-style AI probes when live probing is enabled for your audit, plus a full site and listing scan.

  2. 02

    See if you are the name AI recommends

    You get mention rate on realistic local questions, who appears instead of you, and channel scores versus nearby businesses — not a vague “visibility index.”

  3. 03

    Get the fixes that win recommendations

    Starter is DIY with playbooks. Growth adds drafted GBP posts and review replies. Done-for-you is autopilot: we ship schema, llms.txt, and copy so assistants can cite you.

Proof, not jargon

What assistants read before they recommend someone

Models do not rank you like Google did ten years ago. They synthesize entities they trust: your site, your listing, reviews, structured data, and clear service language. Your audit shows where that story breaks — and who gets the call when a customer asks for the "best" option in town.

  1. 1

    Live answers

    We ask realistic local questions (your niche + city) and measure whether your brand is named, and who appears instead.

  2. 2

    Listing + site signals

    Schema, llms.txt, robots, speed, and GBP completeness — the mechanical reasons assistants cite one business over another.

  3. 3

    A plan you can ship

    Ranked fixes with estimated lift — DIY with playbooks or done-for-you execution when you want speed.

What shifted after the first audit

Anonymized field notes from operators we have worked with—company names removed; verticals and outcomes are real. Not paid endorsements; your market and execution will vary.

We finally saw which "near me" prompts skipped us. Tightening Service schema and the GBP primary category moved us from rarely named to showing up on most brake and alignment questions within about a month.

Owner

Independent auto repair · Southwest U.S.

The probes surfaced the same two competitors we kept losing commercial bids to. We strengthened FAQ content and LocalBusiness markup; dispatch said more callers mentioned finding us through AI summaries.

General manager

HVAC · Mountain West

Emergency lockout queries are winner-take-most—we were invisible. After NAP cleanup, homepage service copy, and llms.txt, we started appearing alongside two other locals in follow-up tests.

Owner

Locksmith & access · U.S. metro

Model ad spend vs. a fixed subscription line — using Growth list pricing

The calculator below uses the Growth plan list price ($149/mo) as the subscription side of the math. Starter is lower ($79/mo on pricing). This is a simple model, not a promise of leads or savings.

$17,412

First year savings — 20 leads/mo at $80 CPL

$19,200 modeled Google spend → $1,788 using Growth list price ( $149/mo × 12). Illustrative only.

Organic signals vs. paid clicks — different trade-offs

Google Ads

  • ×Pay per click — CPL varies widely by niche
  • ×Pause budget → paid lead flow can stop quickly
  • ×Auction pressure can raise CPL over time
  • ×Paid placement is not the same as citeable entity proof
  • ×Budget and scheduling still gate when ads run

Annual cost: highly variable — model yours above

GetLead (signals + measurement)

  • Subscription from Starter — see /pricing for current list prices
  • GBP, schema, and on-page clarity compound; they do not reset when a campaign pauses
  • You improve what models can cite — you do not buy placement inside the model
  • Mention-rate tracking shows whether answers include you (outputs are not guaranteed)
  • Probes can run on a cadence independent of ad schedules

Example: Growth ~$149/mo → ~$1,788/yr (Starter lower)

Questions we hear from operators

Direct answers — no hype. For deep dives on GEO and AI citation mechanics, see Methodology.

What does GetLead do, in one sentence?
GetLead shows how AI search reads your business versus nearby competitors, then ranks what to fix first — GBP, schema, content, llms.txt — so your team ships work that wins citations.
Who is GetLead built for?
Owners and operators of restaurants, clinics, auto shops, trades, retail, and professional services — anyone who lives or dies on “near me” traffic and reviews. Agencies use us for repeatable AI-visibility reporting.
What do I get in the free audit?
A full scored report: eight channels, competitor benchmark, and a ranked fix list. When live AI probes run for your audit, you also see mention rate versus nearby competitors. You get a 7-day shareable link so your team sees the same numbers.
How is GetLead different from a typical SEO dashboard?
SEO tools chase rankings. We chase AI citations — whether assistants mention you when customers ask in plain English. You get the gap versus real competitors in your market, not a keyword grid.
Can you guarantee placement inside ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
GetLead gives you measurable progress — week over week, against your actual competitors in your market. You fix what moves the needle; we show you what moved.
What is GEO?
GEO is generative engine optimization — optimizing for citations in AI answers and summaries, not only for traditional rankings. The GetLead blog has a short guide: open Blog in the header, or go directly to /blog/what-is-geo.
