Score overview from a real report.
If you're not at the top of Google, you're losing jobs you never knew existed.
When someone searches “[your service] near me,” they call one of the first businesses they see — usually from the Google Map results. If that’s not you, those customers are calling a competitor instead. It’s rarely about being the best. It’s about being the one that’s easy to find.
You know your work is better — but the other guys keep showing up above you.
Your website looks fine, but it barely brings in calls.
You’ve got great customers, but hardly any of them leave reviews.
We make you the obvious choice when locals search.

Meet Jim Gilbert.
Jim Gilbert, MBA, has spent 20+ years running SEO, advertising and web teams. Before that, he led digital transformation at one of the largest publishing companies in the world.

From there, you decide whether you want help, and with what: SEO, digital marketing or website design, delivered by the experts at Evolve, LLC, our parent company. Plans run month to month, and pricing is flexible, built around what your business actually needs. No long contract: we earn the work every month.
Who is Findability Experts?
A local-visibility team based in New York’s Capital Region, operated by Evolve, LLC, and working with local businesses nationwide.
Jim Gilbert built it after 20+ years running SEO, advertising and web teams, because small businesses kept getting templates and junior staff while bigger clients got the real attention. Our job is simple: when someone nearby searches for what you do, on Google, Maps or an AI assistant, they should find you.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Local, service-based businesses: home services, medical and wellness, professional services, retail, and more. If your customers search for what you do plus “near me,” or ask an AI assistant who to call, findability matters to you.
Not sure you’re a fit? Run your free score. It works even if you don’t have a Google listing or a website yet, and it’ll show you who’s taking those customers instead.
How soon will I see results?
It depends on where you’re starting. Some fixes can move quickly, like completing your Google Business Profile or correcting listings that disagree with each other. Broader visibility, the kind that comes from better pages, steady reviews and other sites linking to you, builds over the following weeks.
Your Findability Score gives you a baseline, so you can see what changed instead of taking our word for it. We’ll set honest expectations on the call.
Do I have to get on a call?
No. Your report is emailed to you, and there’s no sales call required. We may follow up by text or phone about your report, and you can reply STOP at any time.
If you’d like help reading it, book a free strategy call. In about 15 minutes we’ll show you where you’re winning, where you’re invisible, and the fastest wins to get more local calls.
Does it check AI search, like ChatGPT?
Yes, it’s part of every score. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google’s AI who to call, it can only recommend a business it can read and trust.
Your report scores your website on six AI-readiness factors, like structured data, trust signals and whether AI crawlers can access your site at all, and flags it right at the top if they’re blocked.
Your next customer is searching right now. Make sure they find you.
