Your online presence is costing you business.

Most small businesses in Ohio are losing customers to competitors with better websites every single day — and they don't even know it.

A slow site, a broken mobile layout, or a page that doesn't show up on Google isn't just an inconvenience. It's customers walking out the door before they ever called.

Why AEO matters now

AI is the new search bar.

Millions of people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI who to hire and what to buy. If your site isn't structured for AI answers, you're invisible to that audience.

We implement structured data, FAQ schemas, and authoritative content signals so your business gets cited — not just ranked. That's the difference between a footnote and the answer.

Every site we build includes full AEO implementation: JSON-LD structured data, LocalBusiness schema, FAQPage markup, and content written for natural-language queries.

About b19.dev

Every project we take on gets our full attention from discovery through launch and beyond.
