Be the Citation, Not Just the Blue Link
When someone asks Google or ChatGPT who to call in Wilmington, answers cite what’s already true. Map Pack, NAP, and real job proof still come first.
Owners don’t ask for an “AEO strategy.” They want to show up when someone asks Google or ChatGPT who to call in Wilmington. Those answers don’t invent a business. They cite what’s already public, consistent, and easy to trust.
That floor is still Map Pack and entity consistency. Same name, address, phone, and services across your Google listing and your site. Real proof you do the work here: photos from jobs, service pages for towns you actually book, reviews that name the job.
Magic files and silver-bullet “AI SEO” checklists don’t replace that. Optional markup won’t fix a dead phone number or a listing that doesn’t match your website.
Be the citation. Not just another blue link that looks the same as everyone else’s.
If you want a check on whether AI answers and Maps tell the same story about your firm, Delaware Digital can run that with you.
