That is a real search, and a client of ours sits on page one of Google for it. This is the shape of the answer your next customer gets. Our job is to make sure your business is the one those tools can read and cite. An illustration, not a captured answer.

You built this on skill and referrals. The next stage runs on data.
Referrals built most service businesses in this country. That is the right way to start. The catch is referrals arrive on their own schedule. So the calendar swings, and the owner ends up filling the gaps by hand. Nobody handed you the numbers on your own market. Nobody built the follow-up. That is the part we do.

I'm not going to tell you I worked your trade for 20 years. I didn't.
Here's what I actually do. I run the growth side of local service businesses. Think of it as the numbers guy your business never had. I spent years inside a Melbourne agency helping hundreds of small business owners get more leads and more sales. I run my own businesses. And for the last few years I've put that to work for service businesses that customers search for before they call.
When my pay aligns with your performance, we both win. That's how I work.
You deal with me directly. Not a sales rep. Not a junior. A direct line.
The call you just booked was set and confirmed by the same system we install on your business. You felt it work before you ever paid for it.

What we can and can't control in AI search.
We build a site Google and AI assistants can read. We make your services and service area clear, and keep your details consistent across the web. We check what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI say about your business and log it. We can't control who those tools recommend. Nobody can. So we measure calls, forms and booked work, not screenshots.
Every row in your log: platform, date, location, the exact prompt, and the sources the answer cited.
The honest answers.
No. Coaching is one piece of it. The core is the lead system we build inside your business and run for you. The price is on the page. You see the numbers every week.
I run the growth side of local service businesses, and I run my own. You want an operator who can fill your calendar, not someone who used to do your trade.
You see the numbers every week, so you know inside the first month whether it is working. We make no guarantees and never have. Coaching-Led and the 1:1 coaching add-ons are month to month. Every other monthly plan has a 3-month minimum, then month to month.
Good. You shouldn't have to be. We set it up and run it for you. You close the jobs.
What Growth Recon AI does, what it costs, and who owns what.
Growth Recon AI builds and runs the growth side of local service businesses: a website built around the searches and questions customers type, Google and Meta lead generation, a follow-up and booking system in the owner's own CRM, and owner coaching. Painting contractors are where we have done the most work. Roofers, med spas, CPA and bookkeeping firms, pest control and other home services use the same build.
Answer engine optimization is the work of getting a business named when a customer asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI who to hire. A business that is not in the answer never gets the click, the call or the chance to quote. We build what those tools can read and log what they say. Nobody can guarantee a mention.
Most builds land between $2,500 and $5,000. The price moves with the number of services and service areas you cover. Extra service, area or question pages are $100 each. You see the number before you pay anything. After launch, Care is $399 a month and Search + Care is $999 a month. Both have a 3-month minimum, then month to month. Neither is required.
Every price is public. Coaching-Led is $597 a month. The Growth Engine is a $1,500 build then $2,500 a month, ad spend separate. Done-For-You Premium is $3,500 a month. Coaching-Led is month to month. The Growth Engine and Premium have a 3-month minimum, then month to month.
Most sites go live within 21 days of content sign-off. Ads and the follow-up system produce leads in the first two weeks. AI search citations usually show first movement in 30 to 60 days once Bing indexing, structured data and answer-first pages are in place. A reliable presence for a city takes three to six months and tends to hold once it lands.
Yes, all of it, from the first day. The domain, the hosting account, the website files, the Google and Meta ad accounts, the tracking number, the CRM and the customer list are in the client's name. Growth Recon AI is added as a manager where it needs access and removed the day the client says so.
Growth Recon AI is run by founder Adam Bonola and serves established local service businesses across the United States. The work is done remotely, with a weekly working call for coaching clients and a monthly owner call for done-for-you clients.
