Be the business that gets recommended.
When someone searches Google, pulls up the map, or asks AI who to call, I make sure your name is the one that comes back.
Can your buyers even find you?
Six real searches on ChatGPT and a map of where you rank on Google. About a minute, no account. The call after is free too.
Just me sitting in my client’s “Pet friendly apartments in Carteret NJ”.
The phone rings
Ads become optional

What is it costing you to be hard to find?
Your website went up and it looked fine. Photos loaded, pages worked, everything seemed handled.
But the phone is quieter than it should be. So you buy the traffic via ads, and that bill goes up every year whether the leads get better or not.
Meanwhile someone in your own town asks ChatGPT who they should call, and your name is not in the answer. Would you even know it happened?
You spend more, when you could be the one they are referred to.
None of that means you did something wrong. You hired people to build a website and they built one. Nobody mentioned that being found was a separate job.
I make local businesses the easy answer. I’m Mike Forgie.
Me and Honey visiting a client, a dog-friendly apartment community.
You did not get into this to become a marketer. You built a business on what you actually do, and now you need your community to know you have what they need.
I have spent 12 years on one thing: making businesses the answer when someone needs them.
Results clients have seen.
A brand new apartment building went from empty to 75 to 80 percent occupied in five months.
A contractor went from buried on the map to top three across his whole service area, in five months.
One building is now the first name Google’s AI gives when someone asks about apartments in its town.
I can do the same for you.
See what AI says about you
You get the questions word for word, who came back instead of you, and where you sit on the map around you. Then a free call if you want the why.
What happens when you work with me
Your business is recommended by name.
I do the work that decides who gets named when someone asks a search engine or an AI assistant who to call. That is not a ranking report you file away. That is your phone ringing.
Your lead cost stops climbing.
Every piece of this compounds. The pages, the local signals and the structured data keep working month after month, which is the exact opposite of how bought traffic behaves.
You keep what you paid for.
When the invoice stops, the work does not disappear. You end up owning something instead of renting attention.
Four steps, and the first one is free
01
Run the free check
Four questions and about a minute. You see what ChatGPT says when somebody asks who to call, and where you show up on the map around you. No email needed to start, and nobody rings you.
02
Book a visibility call
Twenty minutes, once you have your result. We go through it together and I tell you what is driving it, in plain language, before you spend anything. You find out whether you have a problem before you commit to fixing one.
03
I map it, then I build it
First I find out exactly where you stand: what people are searching, who is winning it, and whether ChatGPT names you at all. Then I fix the foundation, build the pages that bring people in, and show you exactly what changed. It runs about ninety days, and all I need from you is access and a few answers.
04
You become the one they are referred to
Calls come in from people who were referred to you rather than shown an advertisement. Your cost per lead flattens, then falls. And the work keeps producing after the project ends.
Start with step one, free
Four questions from you, six real searches from me, and a map of your own town. Step two is a free call to work out what to do about it.
In their words, not mine
“Three people called me in a couple of days and said ChatGPT or Google sent them, asking about new construction and first-time buying. It has me wondering why I am still paying for my most expensive Google ad.”
Rhonda Buckner
Buckner Homes Realty
“I have communicated with all of my clients’ SEO gurus and saw little to no results, until one of my clients introduced me to Mike and I saw him deliver on his return. He is personable and honest, and I am confident referring my clients to him because he consistently generates results.”
Mason O’Mara
Digital product agency owner
“First ChatGPT call today. It is for a professional business valuation. Great job.”
James Peake
Addiction-Rep
“Mike Forgie has always stayed one step ahead of the curve in his knowledge and execution to bring top notch results, growth, value, and return to his clients.”

What actually gets done
This is the work itself, once we are working together. The call is free and comes first, and nothing here is expected of you on it.
Every piece of it exists to answer one question: when somebody goes looking, does your name come back?
You stop guessing where you stand.
I check what people actually search for, who is winning those searches, and whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name you at all today.
The map starts sending you people.
Your Google listing gets run properly instead of sitting untouched for years. That map is where your neighbours actually look first.
People reach you on the first try.
Your name, address and phone stop contradicting each other across 45 and more directories, so nobody lands on a dead number.
You exist online the way you exist on the street.
Structured data and rewritten page titles, so search engines and ChatGPT can actually read what you do and where you do it.
You come up for what people actually ask.
Pages written around your customers’ real questions rather than around your service list. How many that takes depends on what is missing, which is part of what the first stretch of work decides.
You become the safer-looking choice.
More reviews, asked for properly. They are read by the person deciding and by the systems doing the recommending.
You can prove it worked.
Before and after, side by side, in numbers you can repeat to a partner, an owner or an investor without explaining them.
The questions everybody asks
Doesn’t my website company already handle this?
They built you a website, and probably a good one. Being found is a different job, and it is almost never included. I work on top of what you already have. Nothing moves and nothing gets rebuilt.
Is the AI part real, or is it a sales angle?
Ask ChatGPT about apartments in Carteret, New Jersey and two of the three it names are clients of mine. One of them had three people call in a couple of days who said ChatGPT or Google sent them.
Why should I trust another agency?
Fair. That is why the first thing I do is give you a straight read on where you stand, before you commit to anything ongoing.
What does it cost?
It depends on how much is missing, which is what the call is for. You will hear a real number on the call, not a proposal three weeks later. What I will tell you now is that this is a real investment rather than a small monthly fee, so if you are looking for something under a few hundred dollars a month, I am not your guy.
Who actually does the work?
The strategy is mine. I build it, and the process behind it took twelve years to work out. My team executes it, which is what lets me take work on without going quiet on you for three weeks at a stretch. You will still be talking to me.
Serving your community is how you grow your business. I just make sure people can find you doing it.
Find out whether you are the one getting recommended.
Find out where you stand
A minute of your time and none of your money. You keep the report either way, and the call after is free.
