See all servicesWebsites built for AI search, for established, founder-led businesses across Tampa Bay. One person, start to finish, working with a limited number of clients in each industry. Right now, that includes a group of 12 St. Pete real estate agents, one for each specialty.
St. Pete runs on independent businesses. Restaurants on Central Avenue. Wellness studios in the Edge District. Boutique law firms downtown. CPG brands launching out of garages in Old Northeast. None of them look like the businesses the big Tampa agencies are built to serve, and most of them deserve more attention than a big agency gives a small account.
That's the gap. Answer Visible is built for it. Studio-sized, founder-led, and unusually good at the thing most local shops are still learning: making sure your business shows up when customers ask Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for a recommendation in St. Pete.
There's a second problem the size gap hides. Search for AEO consulting, or an AI search agency, in St. Pete and a lot of what comes back isn't from St. Pete, or Tampa, or even Florida. It's national shops and overseas firms running a location-page template with the city name swapped in, selling "local" from a thousand miles away. Local and good at AI search is a rarer combination than it should be. That rare spot is exactly where I sit.
Answer Visible is veteran-owned, which doesn't change the work, but it does mean I know what it's like to start from scratch, build something durable, and answer for the quality of every line of code I ship.
The pattern that connects my clients: a founder who has built something real, is good at what they do, and knows their website isn’t keeping up with how customers search now. I work with a limited number of businesses in each industry at a time, and each one gets its own specialty, so the businesses I work with never compete against each other in AI search.
Real estate
I’m putting together a group of 12 St. Petersburg area agents, one for each specialty, each getting a website built for AI search. It starts with a free Website Inspection. See the real estate group.
Wellness
Yoga and pilates studios, med-spas, infrared sauna and cold plunge, bodywork, holistic practices. Often on Mindbody or Vagaro and needing a real site behind the booking platform.
Restaurants & food
Restaurants whose menus and reservations need to surface in AI answers. Food brands launching at Locale Market, farmers markets, or wholesale.
Professional practices
Boutique firms competing against larger Tampa Bay shops. Authority pages, entity signals, and content that earns AI citation in a category where trust matters most. More for law firms.
Local services
Service businesses where Google Business Profile is the front door and AI search is starting to redirect traffic. Built for the local pack and the answer box.
CPG launches
Founders bringing a product to market who need the right ecommerce setup for their size, product schema, and a brand foundation that scales.
A custom website built from the ground up so Google and AI tools like ChatGPT understand your business and recommend it. Starting at $5,000, with tracking tools, reports at 30, 60, and 90 days, and your first year of care included. See AI Search Websites.
After launch, the Care Plan keeps your website online, current, and checked on every three months. The Growth Plan adds three new pages every month, built from what your customers search for.
Have a website worth keeping? I also do focused work on existing sites, like a Google Business Profile cleanup or help with a site stuck on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or Shopify. And if you already have a marketing team, I’m available for advisory work by the hour.
Answer Visible is a St. Petersburg studio building websites for AI search for established, founder-led businesses: real estate agents, professional practices, wellness studios, restaurants, local services, and product brands. Most websites are hand-coded from scratch, and online stores are handled case by case. Every site includes tracking tools and Google Business Profile setup from day one.
A few connected things working together: a website with clear question-and-answer page structure, schema.org markup that tells Google and ChatGPT exactly what kind of business it is and where, a well-tended Google Business Profile that matches the site, citations and reviews across the platforms that matter to the industry, and content written to answer the questions Tampa Bay customers are asking AI engines.
Established, founder-led businesses in St. Petersburg and the wider Tampa Bay area that are good at what they do and want to be the business customers find first. That includes real estate agents, professional practices, wellness studios, restaurants and food businesses, local services, and product brands. I work with a limited number of businesses in each industry at a time. I don’t work with enterprise clients or businesses looking only for the cheapest option.
Yes. I’m putting together a group of 12 real estate agents in the St. Petersburg area, one for each specialty, like waterfront homes, first-time buyers, or relocations. Each agent gets a website built for AI search, so when buyers and sellers ask ChatGPT who to work with, their name comes up. It starts with a free Website Inspection. See how the real estate group works, or read more about AI search for real estate agents.
Fewer local ones than it looks. A lot of the firms marketing AI search visibility to St. Petersburg businesses are based somewhere else, often another state or country, reaching this market through templated city pages rather than a real local presence. Answer Visible is a St. Petersburg studio, built and run here, that treats AI search as the specialty rather than a line item bolted onto general SEO. Local and focused on getting cited by ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity is the gap I fill.
Answer Visible provides AEO (answer engine optimization) in St. Petersburg, building websites and pages so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity recommend a business correctly. It’s a veteran-owned, one-person studio, so the person who scopes the work is the person who does it.
Prices in St. Pete range widely. Budget builders often charge $500 to $2,000, and larger agencies often charge $7,500 or more for a website. At Answer Visible, AI Search Websites start at $5,000, and most small business websites fit within that. That includes tracking tools, reports at 30, 60, and 90 days after launch, and the first year of hosting and care. More complex websites are priced upfront, in writing, before any work starts.
Yes. I'm based in St. Pete and work closely with Tampa Bay area businesses in-person, but engagements run nationally. Remote clients get the same approach delivered virtually. The only thing they miss out on is the coffee meeting.
