AI Search Visibility (AEO/GEO) Built for Craft Breweries

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Through answer-engine optimization (AEO/GEO). We structure your online presence so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Copilot can find, trust, and cite your brewery when people ask about local craft beer, taprooms, or brewery events. We track those citations as a distinct metric so you can see exactly where you're showing up.","question":"How does my brewery show up when someone asks ChatGPT for the best craft brewery near me?"},{"answer":"Yes. Visibility is only step one — the same plan covers local SEO, paid ads, and landing pages built to convert, plus AI SDR follow-up that answers and books every tour or private event inquiry in under 60 seconds, 24/7. One partner runs the whole path from first click to booked call.","question":"Can Worqd help fill my taproom and event space, not just my website traffic?"},{"answer":"That's exactly why. With craft production down 3.9% in 2024 and 529 closures versus 430 openings, the breweries that win are the ones visible at the moment of choice. Dollar sales still grew 3% to $28.8 billion, so the demand exists — it's just concentrating around breweries that show up first in search and AI answers.","question":"Craft beer volume is down and closures outnumber openings — why invest in marketing now?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch. SEO and AI citations compound over months — that's how we're honest about it. On your free growth call we'll find the bottleneck and set expectations based on your starting point, not a generic promise.","question":"How long before I see results from AI search visibility?"},{"answer":"Most breweries juggle separate vendors for SEO, ads, creative, and follow-up — fragmented, with no one owning the full path. Worqd is one retainer-style growth partner: integrated beats fragmented, one plan, one report, no vanity metrics. We also handle the follow-up most agencies ignore, with AI SDRs qualifying every inquiry in under 60 seconds.","question":"We already work with an SEO agency and run our own Facebook ads.
