AI Search Visibility (AEO/GEO) Solutions for Machine Shops

{"faqs":[{"answer":"That's exactly what our AI Search Visibility (AEO/GEO) service does. We optimize your content so answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Copilot cite your shop when buyers ask about CNC machining services or precision machining. We track AI citations as a distinct metric, so you see the results — and if we cannot do it for ourselves, we will not sell it to you.","question":"How do I get my CNC machine shop to show up in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews?"},{"answer":"Yes. Our AI SDR and voice agents answer, qualify, and book inquiries in under 60 seconds, 24/7 — including after-hours and weekends. When a real conversation is needed, calls are handed to a person on your team with full context, using your calendar and your rules, so the RFQ lands with your estimator at the right time.","question":"Can you handle RFQs that come in at night or on weekends when my shop floor is closed?"},{"answer":"Very little. One partner runs the whole path from first click to booked call — ads, creative, search visibility, and follow-up — so you're not managing separate vendors. Our AI systems handle the lead-handling work, and we work with your existing CRM and tools, so there's no new system for your team to learn.","question":"We're already stretched thin from the skilled labor shortage — how much of our time does this take?"},{"answer":"Paid campaigns and outreach can start producing inquiries within days of launch, while SEO and answer-engine visibility compound over months. We start by finding your bottleneck on a free growth call, build the plan, launch quickly, then learn and improve — scaling the channels and angles that actually produce booked calls for your shop.","question":"How long before we see results from AI search visibility work?"},{"answer":"Separate vendors for ads, creative, and follow-up leave gaps — traffic without response, rankings without bookings. Worqd is one integrated plan with one report, no vanity metrics. Our AI SDR delivers a claimed 4–7x conversion lift over unmanaged follow-up at 70–lower cost per qualified conversation versus a traditional SDR team, and we're priced against the results that matter to you, not the hours we log.","question":"Why not just hire an SEO agency or keep running Google Ads on our own?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Find the bottleneck","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"We look at your buyer, offer, channels, response process, and data to find where growth is stuck — before touching anything.
