Win every location.

The KailxLabs Local program costs $2,000 a month and gets a location named when buyers ask AI who to hire nearby. We keep the profile each engine reads accurate, earn placements in the city "best of" lists AI cites, and measure every location on its own. Franchises run on the Scale program with per location measurement.

Engine by engine

Each engine reads different profiles.

There is no single local index for AI. Google reads its own Business Profile, ChatGPT now leans on Yelp, and Apple and Microsoft keep their own listings. We work each one.

Earned placements

Get on the city lists.

Where AI names different firms than Google, the lists it cites matter most: the "best of" roundups for your service in your city.

01 · Find

The lists AI cites for your city

We map the roundups, directories and guides each engine cites for your service and city, and mark the ones that leave you out.

02 · Earn

A place on the merits

We pitch the editor with verified facts about your practice and the line that describes you. Anything paid is disclosed and never counted as earned.

03 · Hold

New lists caught early

Priority questions checked daily. When a new list appears for your city, it gets worked before AI settles on it.

We never publish a "best of" list that ranks you first on your own site, and we never plant posts or reviews.

Measurement

Every location, measured separately.

Engines disagree with each other from one location to the next, so a single brand score hides the locations that are losing.

Rule 1

Asked from the market

Questions are asked the way a buyer in that city asks them, for each location on its own.

Rule 2

One row per engine

Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity and the others are reported separately, never pooled into one number.

Rule 3

Ranges, not screenshots

Each question runs several times. A share becomes a percentage only once eight answers stand behind it, with a likely range.

Rule 4

A control group

An untouched half of questions or locations is held back, so a change can be tied to the work.

FAQ

Local questions, answered.

What does the KailxLabs Local program include?

Placements in the city "best of" pages AI cites, upkeep of your Google Business Profile, Yelp, Apple Business and Bing Places listings, and a monthly measured report. It costs $2,000 a month. Programs run month to month after the first 90 days.

Is AI search different from local SEO?

Sometimes. In everyday trades, AI answers on Google mostly mirror your Business Profile and reviews, so good local SEO does most of the work and we will tell you so. In specialties such as secondary legal practice areas, implants and cash pay care, AI often names different firms than the map pack, and that is where the Local program earns its fee.

Why does ChatGPT recommend different businesses than Google?

They read different sources. Yelp says its ratings and reviews now power ChatGPT local answers in relevant categories, while Google AI Overviews and AI Mode lean on the Google Business Profile. Each engine needs its own profile work and its own measurement.

Can you get us more Yelp reviews?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who offers. Yelp asks businesses not to request reviews and may not recommend requested ones. Google allows asking genuine customers but bans incentives and selective asking. We never script review wording or offer rewards.

Do you work with our competitors in the same city?

We tell you before we take on anyone in your category, and one client’s data is never used for another.

How does franchise pricing work?

Franchises and multi location brands run on the Scale program, from $6,500 a month, with each location measured on its own. The final scope depends on how many locations and questions we measure, agreed on the call.
