Get named when the Twin Cities asks AI
When someone asks ChatGPT or Claude for the best option in Minneapolis, we work to put your name in the answer. We check ChatGPT and Claude on a regular schedule, and you get a monthly read-out of where you show up.
The AI Visibility plan starts at $500 per month, with ChatGPT and Claude monitored on a regular schedule.

How it works
01
Track
We check, on a regular schedule, whether ChatGPT and Claude cite or recommend your brand for the questions your customers ask.
02
Build
Based on what the models are and are not surfacing, we write GEO and AEO content, add structured data, and make the technical fixes that make your facts unmistakable.
03
Read out
Each month you get a plain-English read-out of where you are showing up in ChatGPT and Claude, and where you are not yet.
Search is quietly splitting in two
More people now type the question into an AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude and read the answer it writes back, instead of scrolling ten blue links. They get a single, confident recommendation and may act on it.
Here is the problem for local businesses. If the AI does not mention you in that answer, you may be invisible to that customer, even if you rank third on a traditional Google results page. The click never happens, because the question was already answered. This is what people mean by zero-click search, and it is changing which businesses get found.
Your next customer may never see your homepage. What they see is a short paragraph an assistant wrote, and whether or not your name is in it.
GEO, AEO, and LLMO: what the acronyms mean
GEO stands for generative engine optimization: shaping your online presence so generative AI tools cite and recommend you. AEO (answer engine optimization) is the close cousin focused on being the direct answer to a question someone asks. You will also see LLMO, or large language model optimization. Different labels, one goal: being the source the AI reaches for.
It builds on classic SEO rather than replacing it. Keywords, links, and a fast, crawlable site still matter. But AI models reward something a little different: clear, factual, well-structured content they can quote with confidence, consistent business information everywhere you appear, and strong signals about who you are and what you do.
Structured data and quotable answers both feed into it. Get those right and you give an assistant good reason to cite you. Get them wrong and the model may simply name someone else.
Built for Minneapolis and the Twin Cities
Ellment is a founder-led studio in St. Louis Park, working across the Twin Cities metro and the rest of Minnesota, including St. Cloud. From the North Loop to St. Paul, Edina to the suburbs, when someone nearby asks an AI for the best option in town, local signals help decide whether your name comes up. The AI Visibility plan builds the signals an assistant reads: structured data, technical fixes, and content written for how your neighbors ask.
Who it is for
This is a fit for Twin Cities service businesses, clinics, trades, professional firms, and local brands that want to be found the way people actually search now, through an assistant as well as a search bar. It is also for owners who are tired of enterprise agencies and want a straight answer about what is working.
Founder-led means you work directly with the founder on the real strategy: no account managers, no handoffs, no black box. Pricing is published on the pricing page. You get the AI-visibility capability, plus honesty about what it can and cannot do. Google Business Profile, listings, and map-pack work is a different job, handled in the Standard SEO plan from $250 per month.

Questions
- What is AI search visibility, and how is it different from regular SEO?
- Traditional SEO works to rank your pages on Google's results list. AI search visibility (GEO/AEO) works to get your business named inside the answers that AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude write. They overlap (good structure and clean data help both), but people increasingly read the AI's answer instead of clicking links, so being in that answer is its own job.
- Can you really get my business cited by ChatGPT or Claude?
- We track it and work toward it, honestly. No one controls what a model outputs, and we will not promise a guaranteed placement. What we do is monitor whether ChatGPT and Claude mention you on a regular schedule, then write the structured, quotable content that gives the models better reason to name you. You will see the movement in the tracking instead of taking our word for it.
- How is this different from hiring a big SEO agency?
- It is founder-led. You work directly with the founder on strategy and execution, with no account managers and no handoffs. Pricing is published on the pricing page. And this plan is built around AI answers, not bolted onto a classic SEO package.
- Do you only serve businesses in Minneapolis?
- No. We serve the Twin Cities metro (Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding suburbs) plus St. Cloud and the rest of Minnesota.
- How quickly will I see results?
- AI visibility and SEO compound over time rather than flipping overnight, so we are honest that there is no guaranteed date. The upside is that regular monitoring shows you movement early: you can see whether, where, and when the models surface you, instead of waiting blind for months.
