# Josh Hopkins — AI Search Visibility Consulting

> Independent, one-person consulting practice run by Joshua Hopkins (United States).
> I audit and fix how local businesses appear in AI-powered search: ChatGPT, Claude,
> Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Evidence-based, no guaranteed-rankings claims.

## What I do

- Free robots.txt check: I tell business owners whether their site blocks AI crawlers, and send the fix free of charge.
- GEO audit + fix ($500–$1,500 one-time): scored audit across four vectors (technical readiness, citability, structured data, entity clarity), then implementation — schema.org structured data, llms.txt authoring, crawler access fixes — with a plain-English before/after report.
- Monthly monitoring ($300–$800/month): schema and crawler drift checks, new FAQ content targeting real queries, Google Search Console reporting, one improvement cycle per month.

## How I work

- No guaranteed rankings or outcomes — AI search results change as models update and nobody controls them. I guarantee the work and the measurement.
- Every claim cited to real evidence: the client's own site files and Google Search Console data.
- Every engagement starts with a measured baseline and ends with a before/after comparison.
- Right-sized fixes: most GEO problems are small and cheap to fix; I do not sell rebuilds where a two-line change works.

## Key facts

- Founder and only consultant: Joshua Hopkins, sole proprietor, United States.
- Clients: independent local businesses (home services, dental and medical practices, restaurants, salons).
- In a June 2026 review of 27 independent local-business websites across three US metros, 6 blocked AI crawlers in robots.txt and 7 had no structured data at all — the two most common problems this practice fixes.
