AI Search Optimization and AI Visibility Services for Charleston Businesses
Get Recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude and Google AI
Most websites were built for traditional search engines.
AI tools work differently.
We turn your business into THE business AI tools recommend when people ask, “Who is the best [plastic surgeon / lawyer / coach] in Charleston?” The AI Recommendation Positioning Program aligns your positioning, content, and structure so tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s AI actually choose you, not just list you.
If your site isn’t structured for that, it won’t get mentioned, even if it “ranks.”

TaG Makes, owned by Therese Grittner is a Charleston-based AI Visibility and Search Optimization specialist, serving businesses throughout the South Carolina Lowcountry and beyond. TaG Makes local businesses get referred when potential clients search for their services across the complete AI search ecosystem: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, Bing, Copilot, and Google AI Mode; not just Google.
The Problem Most Charleston Businesses Face
- Your website might be beautiful.
- You might rank well on Google.
- Your social media is active.
But when someone asks ChatGPT or Claude: “Who’s the best [your service] in Charleston?”, you don’t show up.
That’s a problem.
More people are using AI tools to find and recommend businesses than ever before, if you’re not visible there, you’re losing leads to competitors who figured this out first.
Proof, Not Promises
We make AI tools clearly understand and recommend your business. Before optimization, AI tools inconsistently understood TaG Makes.
After AI Visibility optimization:
• AI tools correctly classify services and location
• Business is recommended in relevant queries
This same process is used for client work and agency partnerships.
You’re no longer invisible.
You’re the recommendation.

What is AI Search Optimization?
AI Search Optimization (AI SEO) and AI Visibility are the processes of making your website and online presence understandable and recommendable by AI chatbots, LLMs, and AI search engines. This includes optimizing structured data, content clarity, entity mapping, and trust signals so AI tools can confidently suggest your business to users.
How is AI Search Optimization different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO focuses on Google rankings and AI Search Optimization focuses on:
- ChatGPT
- Claude
- Perplexity
- Comet
- AI agents and assistants
Instead of keywords, we optimize entities, schema, clarity, and verifiable signals so AI tools trust and recommend your business.
Businesses leveraging AI-driven SEO strategies can better position themselves in the digital marketplace, attracting more relevant traffic and generating higher-quality leads.
