AI Search Visibility (AEO/GEO) Built for Collision Repair Centers

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Through answer-engine optimization (AEO/GEO) — the practice of structuring your online presence so AI engines cite you in their answers. Worqd does this work for you and tracks your visibility inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Copilot as a distinct metric, so you can see exactly where you're being recommended and where you're missing.","question":"How do I get my auto body shop to show up in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?"},{"answer":"Our AI systems answer, qualify, and book the moment interest arrives — under 60 seconds, 24/7, including after-hours and weekends. Calls can be handed to a real person with full context, and everything runs on your calendar and your rules, so a driver with hail damage at 9pm still gets booked instead of calling the next shop.","question":"What happens to the estimate requests that come in while my front desk is slammed or closed?"},{"answer":"Yes — by owning channels MSOs can't personalize. Independent shops closed at a rate of nearly 800 in 2024, but local visibility in AI answers, targeted local SEO and paid ads, and instant follow-up let a single-shop operator win drivers before they ever reach an MSO's intake line. Worqd runs all of it as one integrated plan instead of fragmented vendors.","question":"With MSOs like Caliber dominating DRP referrals, can an independent shop actually compete?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch, but SEO and answer-engine optimization compound over months — that's the honest timeline. On your free growth call we find the bottleneck first, so you know which lever will move fastest for your shop before we touch anything.","question":"How long before I see results from AI search visibility work?"},{"answer":"You don't have to switch tools — our systems work with your existing CRM, helpdesk, and phone setup. What changes is the fragmentation: instead of one vendor for SEO, another for ads, and nobody owning follow-up, one partner runs the whole path from first click to booked call, with one report and pricing scoped against the results that matter to you.","question":"We already have an SEO agency and a CRM.
