The problem

AI is replacing search — and the answer is one name.

Homeowners no longer scroll ten blue links. They ask an AI assistant who to hire and act on what it says. If the AI doesn't recommend you, you lose the job — and you never even see it happen.

01 · The shift

Buyers ask AI first

Homeowners open ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity before a search results page. They want a recommendation, not a list to compare.

02 · The gap

Most contractors are invisible

The signals that win Google rankings aren't the ones that get a business pulled into an AI answer. You can rank fine and still never get cited.

03 · The risk

You can't see it happening

When AI hands a buyer a competitor's name, there's no missed-call log and no lost-form alert. The lead simply never arrives.

A buyer asks an AI assistant for a contractor in your city. It names a few companies. If yours isn't one of them, that job was decided before you ever had a chance to compete.
What the agents do

One bundle. Three jobs.

The full stack that makes you the answer — run end-to-end by the agent runtime, not an account manager.

AEO · Answer engines

Get recommended

We make your business the named, trusted pick when a homeowner asks AI who to hire.

GEO · Generative search

Get read & quoted

Schema, structure, and entity signals so engines can read, trust, and quote you accurately.

SEO · Local search

Get found

The local fundamentals — profile, service-area structure, content — still done, just by agents.

How it works

From a free grade to agents that fix it.

Three steps. Start with an honest snapshot, see exactly where you stand, then let the agents close the gaps.

Median traditional agency retainer for trade contractors runs roughly $4,200/mo. Surgio starts at a fraction of that — and the agents run continuously.

Why Surgio

Built against everything you hate about agencies.

The savings are structural

Delivery is an agent runtime, not a retainer team — that's why we run 30–50% below the agencies.

You operate nothing

Other tools hand you a dashboard and you still do the work. Surgio agents do it — no software to learn, no posts to write.

You're not locked in

Open pricing, no multi-year contract, and you keep your site, data, and accounts.

Depth a generic tool can't fake

Purpose-built for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical — local signals, service-area structure, trade content.

Common questions

Answers, not marketing copy.

01

Who is Surgio for?

+
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing and other home-service contractors doing $1M–15M in revenue, typically covering one metro. If you're already spending on Google Ads and an SEO agency and wondering why your leads are getting more expensive every quarter, you're who this is for.
02

How is this different from SEO?

+
SEO is ranking links. AEO and GEO are getting cited inside the answer ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI hand back to your buyer, before they ever see a link. Different surface, different rules, different work. We run all three so they reinforce each other, but the AI layer is where the leverage is in 2026.
03

What results can I expect?

+
Our targets: first AI citation within 90 days, measurable visibility lift within 6 months. We're early and won't pretend otherwise. No inflated case studies. What we will do is run your real audit and show you exactly where you stand before you commit to anything.
04

Why is the founding tier so cheap?

+
Twenty founding contractors get the rate locked for 12 months in exchange for product feedback. We're funding the playbook with real operators. After the 20 spots fill, founding closes and Growth ($497/mo) becomes the floor.
05

Can I see a demo?

+
The audit at the top of this page is the demo. Run your domain. See your grade. If it's an F, that's the problem we fix.
