Question 1

Is GhostRank an SEO agency?

Accepted Answer

Not only. Strong SEO is the foundation of everything we do — technical health, local signals, authoritative content. We build that properly first, then go further: structuring your visibility so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity cite and recommend you too, not just Google. SEO gets you in the running; the AI layer is how you win the recommendation.

Question 2

What is AI visibility, exactly?

Accepted Answer

It's whether a business is mentioned, cited, and recommended when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, or Google a relevant question — 'best med spa near me,' for example. It builds directly on SEO fundamentals — structured content, clear entity signals, third-party authority — and takes them further, since a generated answer depends on more than a keyword-targeted page ranking well.

Question 3

Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google recommends my business?

Accepted Answer

No — and be skeptical of anyone who claims this. No company controls what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google generate. GhostRank strengthens every signal these systems draw from and builds the infrastructure to capture the leads that follow, but a generated answer can't be bought the way a search ad can.

Question 4

Does my website need to be rebuilt, or can you work with my existing site?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it stays. If your current site loads fast, reads clearly to both people and AI systems, and converts visitors into leads, we start with Grow and Automate on top of it. If it's slow, dated, or structurally thin, a rebuild becomes the highest-leverage first move — we'll tell you plainly which situation you're in on the strategy call.

Question 5

Do I own my website?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the code and domain are yours. There's no proprietary page-builder lock-in; if you ever leave, you leave with a working website, not a rented one.

Question 6

Can you integrate my CRM?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Automation is built to hand off into whatever you're already running rather than replace it — tell us what you use on the strategy call and we'll scope the integration.

Question 7

Do you build custom AI systems, or is this off-the-shelf software?

Accepted Answer

Custom. Lead response, scheduling, review requests, and intake are built around your specific business and workflow, not sold as a generic bot with your logo on it — see what's in progress under "See GhostRank in Action" on the homepage.

Question 8

What does the automation actually do?

Accepted Answer

It answers new leads immediately (missed calls, form fills, chat conversations), gets them onto your calendar without a back-and-forth, and requests reviews after the job or appointment is done — so a lead you already paid to generate doesn't go cold waiting on a callback.

Question 9

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Automation (follow-up, scheduling, reviews) starts producing booked calls almost immediately. Technical and structural fixes can influence how AI systems and Google read your site within weeks. Authority and citation growth compounds more slowly — plan on a full 90-day cycle before that's clearly measurable.

Question 10

Which AI platforms do you track?

Accepted Answer

Google (including AI Overviews), ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. Coverage is configured per client based on where your customers are most likely to be asking.

Question 11

Do reviews affect AI recommendations?

Accepted Answer

Review volume, average rating, and recency are commonly cited signals in reputation-focused AI answers, particularly for local service businesses. They're one input among several, not the only factor — which is why automated review requests are part of the Automate pillar, not an afterthought.

Question 12

What does GhostRank cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on scope, not a fixed package. Websites are scoped per project based on what's needed. Grow runs as a custom monthly engagement. Automate is scoped as a custom implementation around your specific workflow. You'll get a real number on the strategy call before committing to anything.

Question 13

Can you work with multi-location companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes — GhostRank supports multi-location and national brands with per-location tracking, consolidated reporting, and automation that scales across locations. Reach out to discuss scope.
