T1

Google & AI Visibility Audit

Free no card, no call — request it through the quote form

Delivered within 72 hours, fully async

A written audit of how your business shows up when local customers search — your Google Business Profile, your website, your local rankings, and the AI answers that now sit on top of all three.

  • Google Business Profile review — categories, services, photos, reviews, hours
  • Website review — speed, mobile, and the pages that win or lose you customers
  • Technical SEO baseline
  • Schema and entity-consistency check — is every source telling the same story
  • AI-assistant check across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google's AI results

You get a written report: specific findings — the actual missing categories, the actual pages that aren't indexed, the actual schema errors — ranked by impact, with the fix list in priority order. Not a score out of 100 with a sales pitch under it.

The report stands alone. Fix it yourself, hand it to your developer, or have the studio do the work.

Add-ons

Add-ons for sites we host

AI answer tracking

$19/mo month to month, on top of your plan

Every month we ask Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Google's AI results the same questions about your business, and send what they said in a short, dated monthly note, so you can see what changed.

For Page Plan and hosting & care clients. Included in Local Growth at no extra cost.

Add AI answer tracking

Answer Page

$99 one-time, per page

One page on your site built for one question your customers ask, answered in plain, specific facts a person, a search result or an AI assistant can repeat. No one can promise what an assistant will say; the page makes sure the facts are there to find.

AI Receptionist

For the owner who's on a roof, under a sink, or driving between jobs when the phone rings. Every missed call gets a text back in seconds, after-hours calls get answered, and you get the job details, not a voicemail.

  • Missed-call text-back — a real reply within seconds, in your words
  • After-hours and overflow call answering
  • Collects what you'd ask: name, address, what's wrong, how urgent
  • Sends you a clean summary by text or email, ready to call back
  • Books straight into the calendar you already use, if you want it to
  • Answers from your real hours, service area, and policies only
  • Hands off to you the moment a caller needs a person
  • Every conversation logged where you can read it

AI Automation

The repetitive parts of the day, handled without you. Intake, follow-up, quoting, scheduling, reporting — running on their own and telling you when something needs a human.

  • Automation of a scoped process, end to end — not a demo
  • Intake and lead routing that reaches the right person immediately
  • Follow-up sequences that stop the moment someone replies
  • Quote and estimate prep assembled from what you already collect
  • Records kept in sync so nothing gets typed twice
  • Reporting that arrives on a schedule instead of on request
  • Failure handling — every automation says so when it breaks
  • Handover documentation and a walkthrough for whoever runs it next

06

AI Agents

The front desk for everything written. Questions in your website chat answered at midnight, the inbox sorted by what needs you, and bookings taken while you're on a job.

  • Website chat that answers real questions using your actual pricing and policies
  • Inbox triage — urgent surfaced, routine handled, noise filed
  • Quote-form and email inquiries answered or routed, details already collected
  • Booking taken straight into the calendar you already use
  • Scoped so it says "let me get Travis" instead of guessing
  • Every conversation logged where you can read it
  • Tone tuned to how you actually talk to customers
Learn more →
07

AI Strategy & Logistics

Before anything gets built: which work is worth automating, which isn't, and what order to do it in. The plan you can hand to someone else and have them follow.

  • Process map of how work actually moves through the business today
  • Every repetitive task inventoried and ranked by hours it costs you
  • Build, buy, or leave alone — a call on each one, with the reasoning
  • Sequenced 90-day roadmap, cheapest reversible wins first
  • Written SOPs for the processes worth keeping as-is
  • Staff walkthrough — what changes, what doesn't, who owns what
  • A short list of what to measure so you know if it worked

Common questions

What services does Saltwater Studio offer?

Custom websites, monthly Google Business Profile management (Google Care), SEO and AI search, and AI services — a receptionist, automation, and agents. They come together as published plans: the free Google & AI Visibility Audit, the Page Plan website at $149/mo, Buy It at $497 (once, plus $29/mo hosting & care — no setup fee, no minimum), Local Growth at $297/mo, and the $199 Google Profile Fix. Custom AI systems are quoted to the business.

What does the visibility audit include?

Five checks: your Google Business Profile; your website's speed, mobile experience, and key pages; a technical SEO baseline; schema and entity consistency; and how your business shows up in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Google's AI results. It arrives as a written report within 72 hours — specific findings ranked by impact and the fixes in order, not a score out of 100.

How fast is the audit delivered?

Within 72 hours of purchase, fully async — buy it, and the report arrives by email. No call, no meeting; if something needs clarifying, we ask by email.

Do I need to get on a call?

No. Every engagement can run entirely over email. The intake form asks how you would rather be reached — a call is available, never required.

What happens after the audit?

The report stands alone. Fix the items yourself, hand the report to your developer, or have Saltwater Studio implement it. Your call, no obligation either way.

What does monthly management cover?

Google Care — your Google Business Profile run every month, with posts, photos, and every review answered — plus the upkeep that keeps the website and rankings current: schema and content signals, a check on what AI assistants say about the business, and a written monthly report of what moved. It comes in the Local Growth plan at $297/mo, website included (no setup fee — 3-month minimum, then month to month).

Where should a business start?

With wherever customers find you first. For most local businesses that is the Google Business Profile, then the website. If the phone is already ringing faster than you can answer, an AI receptionist is the right first step. When it is not obvious which, the audit answers it.

Do you work with businesses outside the Gulf Coast?

Yes. Saltwater Studio works with local businesses across the United States; the Gulf Coast, from Gulf Shores, Alabama to Panama City, Florida, is home base, not a limit.
