About Webiyo

The system behind getting local businesses found.

Webiyo gets local businesses found on Google and named when customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude or Meta AI who to hire. Every plan runs on our own AI visibility tracking, so you always know where you stand and what changed.

Our mission

Help good local businesses get found, get chosen and get the call.

We combine web design, SEO and AI visibility so a business shows up where people are already looking, then make sure that attention turns into calls. Not more traffic for its own sake. More customers.

"Ranking on Google gets you found. Getting named by AI gets you chosen."
Why it matters

Search has changed. Most marketing hasn't.

Customers still search, but more of them now ask an AI tool and take its word for it.

The new reality

  • People ask AI for a recommendation. "Who's the best plumber near me?" goes to ChatGPT or Google's AI instead of a page of links.
  • AI names a few businesses, not ten pages. If you aren't one of them, that customer never hears of you.
  • Google's AI answers sit on top. The regular listings get pushed further down the page.
  • Ranking first isn't enough. A competitor can be the one AI names, even when you rank above them.

How Webiyo handles it

  • We check what AI says about you, every week. The questions your customers ask, in the AI tools they use.
  • We fix what's stopping you from being named. Starting with whatever will bring in calls fastest.
  • We build what AI tools rely on. Clear service pages, accurate listings, schema and trusted links.
  • We show you what changed. Every report lists what we built and what moved.
What we do

How we get you found

One plan covers every place Google and the AI tools look before they recommend a business.

AI visibility audit

Your site, listings, reviews and what each AI tool says about you, turned into a ranked list of fixes.

Weekly AI tracking

Real customer questions, asked in ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Meta AI, with the competitors named instead of you.

Google Business Profile and listings

Your profile and listings cleaned up and kept accurate, so every source tells the same story.

Technical SEO and schema

The problems that stop Google and AI crawlers reading your site get fixed, and your pages get clear structured data.

Service and service-area pages

Pages built for what people search and ask, for each service and each area you cover.

Answer-ready content

Pages written so an AI tool can lift a clear answer straight from your site.

Trusted links and mentions

Mentions and links from sites Google and the AI tools already trust.

Clear reports

What we built, what moved, and what's next. No vanity numbers.

Our system

The tracking behind every decision

Most agencies guess at what to work on next. We measure it first.

  1. 1

    The questions your customers ask

    We build a panel of real questions for your trade and your area.

  2. 2

    Asked in the AI tools, every week

    ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Meta AI, the way a customer would ask.

  3. 3

    Who gets named, and why

    You, a competitor or no one, plus the sources each answer leaned on.

  4. 4

    A ranked Fix List

    The gaps become a list ordered by what will bring in calls fastest.

  5. 5

    Built, checked, reported

    We build the next fixes, a person checks every one, and the report shows what changed.

Meet the founder

The person behind the work

Ethan Ross, founder of WebiyoEthan RossFounder

Ethan Ross founded Webiyo after five years building websites and doing SEO for local businesses, learning what brings in customers and what doesn't. Over the last two years he has gone deep on AEO: how ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Gemini decide which businesses to recommend.

He has talked with hundreds of business owners along the way, and the same thing kept coming up. A good website isn't enough if people can't find you, and more traffic doesn't mean much if it never turns into a call. Webiyo is built around fixing both.

He also believes you should know exactly what you're paying for. No vague monthly reports, no services you don't need, and no promises of overnight rankings. Just a clear plan, work you can see, and results we can measure.

Webiyo is small on purpose. Ethan stays in the work himself, keeps overhead low so prices stay fair, and puts the time into the details that matter. Nothing goes live until it's right.

  • Five years in web design and SEO
  • Two years focused on AI search
  • Hundreds of business owners talked to
  • Built the Webiyo tracking system
The team

How Webiyo works today

It's a small team, and I'd rather tell you exactly how small than dress it up.

I run it

I take the client calls and do a lot of the work myself. When you have a question, you talk to me.

Rajesh, part time

Rajesh works alongside me to get tasks finished. Without him I couldn't keep up with demand.

AI agents do the legwork

They handle research, audits, code and first drafts. We have put hundreds of hours into training them to work the way I would.

A person checks everything

None of it runs on autopilot. Every audit, page and report gets reviewed by a person before you see it.

Our own audit system

We built the tool that checks what ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Gemini say about a business. It is how we know what to fix first.

Growing on purpose

We're adding people for sales and project work. The way we check work won't change. See open roles and apply

Why Des Moines

I live in Iowa and I love working with Des Moines businesses. Owners here are welcoming. I haven't had a bad conversation with one yet.

I do a lot of visits in person, because showing up says more than a sales call does. And I won't blow up your phone when you're busy running your business.

We work with businesses across the U.S. too. Des Moines is home.

  • I'll come to your shop or office if you're in the Des Moines area.
  • You'll hear from me, not a ticket queue.
  • If you don't need us yet, I'll tell you.
  • Month to month. No contract.
