Your Customers Are Asking AI for Recommendations. Is Your Name in the Answer?
When someone asks ChatGPT for a good family dentist nearby, or the right lawyer after a car accident, they don’t get ten options. They get two or three names. If yours isn’t one of them, you never had a chance.
Most businesses are still optimized only for traditional search. Strong Google rankings help, but they don’t guarantee AI tools will mention you. AI looks at your reviews, your listings, your website, and what trusted sites say about you.
That’s the gap I close.
Start With an AI Visibility Audit
I’ll run real customer questions through ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews and show you whether your business comes up, and who gets recommended instead. No cost, no obligation.
What your free snapshot includes:
- A check of how ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews answer real questions your customers ask
- Whether your business gets mentioned, and which competitors get recommended instead
- A short summary of what I found, sent by email or video walkthrough
- The one change likely to make the biggest difference first
Want the full picture? The complete AI Visibility Audit covers all four major AI platforms, your competitors, your listings and reviews, your website, and a ranked action plan.
The snapshot is free. The full audit is a one-time flat fee, and you’ll know the price before any work starts.

Industries I Know
Inside and Out
Dental, Orthodontic, and Oral Surgery Practices
Patients search for specific treatments, insurance answers, and a practice they can trust. I make sure yours is the one that comes up.
Law Firms
People search in plain language when they’re stressed and need help fast. Your firm should be the answer to those questions, on Google and in AI tools.
Home Services
Pools, plumbing, leak detection, and contractors. Consistent listings and strong reviews decide who gets the call, and I keep both working for you.
Don’t see your industry? If you serve local customers, the same principles apply. Let’s talk.

What Clients Say
Work Directly With Me,
Not a Junior Account Manager
I’m Shannon McCraw. I’ve spent more than ten years in SEO and local search, much of it with dental practices, law firms, and home service companies.
When AI tools started changing how people find businesses, I went all in on learning how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews decide who to recommend. Today, that’s the center of my work.
Clients usually come to me after trying a big agency, an entry level freelancer, or doing it themselves. They want someone experienced, honest, and direct who actually picks up the phone. That’s what you get with Virtual Surge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AI search visibility?
It’s how often, and how accurately, AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews mention your business. It covers whether you get recommended and whether the details they share are correct. You may also hear it called GEO or AEO.
Do I still need regular SEO?
Yes. AI tools pull from many of the same trusted sources that drive your Google rankings. Strong SEO is the foundation, and AI search visibility builds on top of it.
How is this different from what my current SEO company does?
Most SEO companies focus only on Google rankings and traffic. I also test what AI tools say about your business and work on the signals they rely on, like reviews, listings, and trusted mentions. You get both in one strategy.
Do you only work with Baltimore businesses?
No. Virtual Surge is based in Baltimore, but I work with local service businesses across the country. Everything is handled remotely, by phone, video, and email.
What’s the difference between the free snapshot and the full audit?
