AI Search Visibility (AEO/GEO) Built for Fishing Charter Companies

{"faqs":[{"answer":"Through answer-engine optimization (AEO/GEO). Worqd works to get your brand cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Copilot, and we track those citations as a distinct metric. Our rule is simple: if we cannot do it for ourselves, we will not sell it to you.","question":"How do I get my fishing charter to show up in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?"},{"answer":"Our AI systems handle the communication side — booking confirmations, reminders, location texts, and cancellation notifications — so guests show up prepared.
