SGO · Search Growth Optimization · Managed by RyanAI

When a customer asks an AI where to spend money, does it mention you? 

SGO is how a business shows up when someone asks an AI assistant a buying question. RyanAI tracks it across all five major engines, scores it in one number, and runs a daily autopilot that drafts fixes — held for human approval before anything ships. It's a managed retainer we operate for restaurants, dental and medical practices, skincare and beauty studios, and similar local and regional businesses that compete on being recommended.

A managed retainer. Operated by RyanAI, approved by you.

01 — What we watch

One question, asked five ways, every day. 

We track buying-intent questions specific to your business and your city — 'best burgers in Los Angeles', 'same day dental crown austin' — across every engine a customer might ask.

AI Visibility Score
71/100
90 days agoToday

A score you can explain to your team in one sentence. 

Out of every 100 times a customer asks an AI assistant about your category, this is how often it mentions you. 

Tracked daily across all five engines, on the same questions
Standing against named competitors: mentions, average position, sentiment, share of voice
All of it over time, on the same chart — no cherry-picked snapshots
03 — Daily autopilot

The system drafts. A person decides. 

Every day, the autopilot drafts fixes — schema markup, FAQ content, citation outreach, IndexNow pings. It auto-executes the reversible ones and holds everything else for explicit human approval.

Nothing publishes without a person clicking Approve.

Append-only action log, exportable
Every draft tied to the question it's meant to win

  • Schema markup — menu pageAUTO-SHIPPED
  • FAQ content — 'gluten-free options'AWAITING APPROVAL
  • Citation outreach — local directoryAWAITING APPROVAL

Reversible fixes ship themselves. Everything else waits for a person.

In the product, not just on this page

No fake reviews. No astroturfing. No undisclosed edits. Automation that can't get your clients penalized.

This banner ships inside the console. It's how the system is built, not how it's marketed. FTC fines for undisclosed AI-generated review activity run up to $53,088 per violation — the autopilot is designed so that never becomes your problem.

04 — The console

Proof it does the work. 

Real screens from the Burnside Burger Co demo workspace — a fictional LA burger restaurant used to show the product without exposing client data. The third view is what week one looks like for a new client: honest, not a flaw.

Where a new client starts: the exact questions being tracked, waiting on the first daily measurement.

Clients watch it happen

Every SGO client gets their own seat in this console — the daily score, the approval queue, the exportable log. Screenshots stop where your workspace begins.

05 — It proves its own work

You never have to take our word for it. 

Client report page

A standing report of score, share of voice, and every action taken on your account.

Public shareable link

A no-login link you can hand to a partner, an owner, or a board.

Website report

Ties published content to actual citations — what's live, what's crawled, what's cited.

Append-only action log

Every drafted, approved, rejected, and shipped action, exportable. Nothing overwritten.

06 — What a scan looks like

Five engines, one question, one score. 

This is the measurement SGO runs every day, played out on the Burnside demo workspace. Your version uses your business and your city — and the first one is free.

07 — Questions

Asked before you did.

Every retainer conversation starts with the same handful of questions — cost, lock-in, how this differs from the SEO agency you already tried. Here they are, answered the way we'd answer them on a call.

SGOA typical SEO agency

CommitmentMonth-to-monthUsually 6–12 months

A flat monthly retainer, scoped to your market and how many questions we track. You'll get the exact number in writing before anything starts — fixed price is the house rule, and a retainer is no exception. Month-to-month, no long-term contract.

An SEO agency optimizes for ten blue links. SGO optimizes for the one answer an AI assistant gives out loud — a different target, measured differently: a daily score across five engines instead of a monthly ranking PDF. And there is no account team. The person who builds the system is the person who runs it.

Week one is a baseline: what the engines say about you today, measured daily. Most local categories show first movement in four to eight weeks. If your category is one where customers don't ask AI assistants yet, the free check will show that — and we'll tell you.

Enough to add structured data and FAQ content, yes. The autopilot auto-executes only reversible changes; everything else waits in an approval queue until a person — you — says yes. Every action is logged, and the log is exportable.

No. Month-to-month, cancel with a month's notice. Everything built on your account — the content, the schema, the tracking history — stays yours.

That's the common case, and it's fixable. Wrong hours, an old menu, a competitor's description attached to your name — the autopilot drafts the correction, you approve it, and we track the engines until they pick it up.

Who this is for

Restaurants, dental and medical practices, skincare and beauty studios — local and regional businesses that compete on being recommended. 

If customers don't ask AI assistants about your category yet, we'll tell you that too.
