I need a roofing contractor in Franklin, TN. Which company should I call, and why?
“If you want one company to call first, I’d start with Three Stone Roofing and Exteriors. It’s listed as a Franklin-based exterior contractor, and the listing says it has a 4.9-star rating across 472 verified Google reviews — that’s a strong mix of local presence and a lot of customer feedback.”

THREE FREE CHECKS · ONE A MONTH PER BUSINESS
See what Google and the AI engines make of you — right now.
The same three checks we run before quoting a job. Each takes under a minute, asks for nothing but what it checks, and hands you the result whether you hire us or not.
01 / SCAN YOUR WEBSITE
85 checks on your site.
Technical SEO, speed on a phone, structured data, AI search readiness, and whether the page turns a visitor into a call — every finding with its fix, a PDF and its own link.
02 / ASK GOOGLE’S AI WHO IT RECOMMENDS
Does the AI name you?
We ask Google’s AI Mode for the best business of your kind in your city, live, and read the answer for your name — then check the map at your own address.
Takes about twenty seconds. It asks Google’s AI Mode live — not a cached answer — then checks Google Maps at your address. One check a month per business.
Finding your Business Profile…
03 / CHECK YOUR LINKS
How many of your links fail the rules?
Every site linking to yours, read by the audit’s written rules — how many fail outright, how many are borderline, the reasons, five examples, and a PDF. A bad link profile is a manual action waiting to happen.
Takes ten to twenty seconds. Every site the index finds linking to yours, read by the audit’s rules. One check a month per domain.

What we do / Three things, one team
Web design, SEO and marketing — built for how people search now.
The three things every agency sells, built for a results page that answers instead of listing.
01 / Web design
A hand-built website that gets the phone to ring
Custom, mobile-first, fast on a phone, accessible — and AI-ready from the first build: structured data, answer-first pages and FAQ blocks the engines can quote. Hosting and care included.
Web design in Nashville02 / SEO
Local SEO that earns the map pack, reported on calls
Google Business Profile, citations, city and service pages, technical health and reviews — the foundation every AI answer is built on, documented monthly and measured on calls and forms, not a ranking chart.
SEO in Nashville03 / AI search & AI integration
Be the business the AI engines recommend
AIO, AEO and GEO on top of the SEO, so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI name you — and AI put to work inside the business: instant lead response, a website assistant, missed-call text-back.
AI SEO — AIO, AEO and GEOThe specialization / What AI SEO is
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is search optimization for the engines that now answer questions instead of listing links: Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot. It combines three disciplines — AIO (making the business legible to machines), AEO (being the answer that gets selected) and GEO (being cited inside generated answers) — on top of classic local SEO.
| Discipline | What it is for | What it runs on |
|---|---|---|
| SEOSearch engine optimization | Rank in Google’s organic results and the map pack for the searches that produce work. | Technical health, Google Business Profile, city and service pages, citations, reviews, links. |
| AIOAI optimization | Make the business legible to AI systems: one entity, consistent facts, machine-readable pages. | Schema.org structured data, entity consistency, llms.txt, crawl access for AI agents, clean HTML. |
| AEOAnswer engine optimization | Be the answer that gets selected — in AI Overviews, featured snippets, voice and chat answers. | Answer-first pages, question headings, FAQ blocks with FAQPage schema, specific verifiable detail. |
| GEOGenerative engine optimization | Get cited and recommended inside generated answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot. | Citation-worthy specifics, corroboration across independent sources, brand and entity strength, freshness. |
How we do it / Six steps
Entity first. Answer first. Measured monthly.
Baseline what the engines say now
We ask Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot the questions your customers ask — by trade, by city, by problem — and record who is named, who is cited and who is missing. That is the starting line, in writing.
Fix the entity
One name, one description, one list of services and one service area, repeated exactly on your site, your Google Business Profile and every directory that matters. An engine that finds three versions of you trusts none of them.
Structure every page for machines
Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList schema on every page, validated rather than assumed; an llms.txt file; clean semantic HTML; crawl access for the AI agents. The page says what it is in a language a model does not have to guess at.
Write answer-first
Each page opens with a direct, self-contained answer under a question-shaped heading, then earns it with specifics an engine can quote — real project detail, timelines, process, service area. FAQ blocks on every page, marked up as FAQPage.
Get corroborated
Reviews, citations, directory profiles and the pages on our own trade network that repeat the same facts your site states. Engines recommend businesses other sources agree about; we build the agreement.
Measure, monthly, next to the leads
The same questions, asked again every month, with the answers recorded against the calls and forms the site produced and the visits your traffic dashboard attributes to AI assistants. Visibility you can see, in a report you can check.
What changed / The old work and the new
Search changed. Most agencies didn’t.
The ten blue links are still there. They are just no longer the first thing a customer sees.
| Area | SEO of the past | Nashville’s Web Design |
|---|---|---|
| What it optimizes for | A keyword and a position | A question and its answer — on Google and inside every AI engine |
| How the business is described | Whatever each page happens to say | One entity, identical everywhere, in structured data a machine can verify |
| The content | Blog posts by the pound, written for a crawler | Answer-first pages with specifics an engine can quote, FAQs marked up as FAQPage |
| AI crawlers | Blocked by default, or never considered | Invited on purpose — being cited is the point |
| The website | A theme, a page builder and forty plugins | Hand-built HTML served from the edge, fast on a phone |
| Reporting | A ranking PDF once a month | Calls, forms and AI mentions, live on a dashboard you own |
| The follow-up | Whenever you get off the roof | An assistant that answers in a minute and books the call |
| What you own | A login to someone else’s platform | Your domain, site, profile, rankings, data and automations |
Titles, links and a fast site still matter — the engines read them first. What changed is what sits on top of them.
AI integration / In the business
AI inside the business, not just the search results.
The call comes at 4:40 on a Friday while you are on a roof. The business that answers it in a minute wins the job.
01 / Instant response
Every form answered within a minute
A reply in your voice, with the qualifying questions asked and the appointment offered, before the homeowner has opened the next tab. The lead lands in your CRM with everything you need to call back.
02 / Website assistant
Search that is also your assistant — it books the call
It answers any visitor question from your own pages, cites the page, and takes the call-back request before they open the next tab. It is running on this site now. It introduces itself honestly and never invents a promise you did not make.
The website assistant03 / Missed calls
Missed-call text-back and follow-up that does not quit
A homeowner who reached voicemail is in a text conversation instead of dialing the next result. Estimates that went quiet get followed up until the customer answers or asks to stop.
04 / Reviews & reporting
Review replies drafted, dashboards that pull it all together
Google review replies drafted for your approval, never posted blind. Leads, calls, rankings, AI visibility and ad spend in one screen you own — connected to the CRM, calendar and phone system you already use.
What it produces / Exclusive leads
Exclusive leads for home service pros — what all of it is for.
Being the business the engines recommend produces calls and forms. They go to you alone, included in your monthly package rather than sold one at a time.
- Every lead is yours alone — never sold to a second business, in your trade or any other
- Leads come in as a direct call to your line or a form straight to your inbox and CRM
- Included in your monthly package: no per-lead charge, no bidding, no auction
- Homeowners in your service area only — filtered by the cities you actually cover
- Intake capped by trade and market, so nothing we build is ever split between rivals
- Full attribution on every lead: which page, which search, which campaign produced it
The proof / Client sites
The work, open to check.
Client sites we built and host. Open any of them on your phone; the case studies carry the numbers.

Questions, answered straight
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is search optimization for the engines that now answer questions instead of listing links: Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot. It combines three disciplines — AIO (making the business legible to machines), AEO (being the answer that gets selected) and GEO (being cited inside generated answers) — on top of classic local SEO.
What does it cost?
A website is a fixed-scope project with one written price, hosting and care included. SEO, AI SEO and AI automation are flat monthly retainers, month to month, with no long-term contract and no per-lead charge. We quote specific figures on the first call, after we have looked at your market and what the engines currently say about you.
How long before it shows results?
Structured data, entity cleanup and answer-first rewrites can change what an engine says within weeks, because the engines fetch live pages. Being consistently recommended in a competitive market takes months of corroboration — reviews, citations, real project detail — just as the map pack does. We report on it monthly rather than promising a date.
Are the leads exclusive?
Yes. Every lead goes to one business rather than into a shared pool. We limit how many businesses we take on in each trade and market, and once a category reaches its limit in a city it closes to new intake — so nothing we build is ever split between two rivals bidding on the same job.
Do you also build the website?
Yes — the website, the brand, the hosting, the local SEO, the AI SEO, the ads and the automation. Lead generation is the product; those 8 layers are how it is made, and the same people build and run all of them. Most clients start with the site or the SEO and add layers as they need them.
What areas do you serve?
Nashville and Middle Tennessee, with dedicated coverage for Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Smyrna, Spring Hill, Gallatin, Lebanon, Columbia, Clarksville, plus Belle Meade, Berry Hill, Forest Hills, Oak Hill and the surrounding communities — and only businesses based in that region, in the home trades or any other line of work. A business based anywhere else is a client of Zorva Labs, our parent company, which works nationwide.
