Answer Engine Optimization for small business
AI is already answering your customers. Is it recommending you?
Onomaris.AI measures how accurately ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI search understand your business—then closes the gaps that keep them from sending customers your way.
Search stopped being a list of links
Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking. AI optimizes for confidence. If an assistant is not certain what you do, where you do it, and whether you can be trusted, it recommends someone it is certain about.
AI assistants return a single recommendation. Being on page one of Google no longer guarantees you are in the answer.
Customers ask ChatGPT and Perplexity who to hire before they ever open a search results page.
Most small businesses have never been optimized for AI retrieval, so AI hedges instead of recommending them.
The Authority Index™ — a credit score for AI visibility
One number from 0 to 100 that says how confidently AI platforms can recommend you. Like a credit score, it is measurable, comparable, and improvable.
Seven factors, one score
Every point in your Authority Index™ comes from one of these. The weights are published, so nothing about your score is a mystery.

Measure, fix, track
No retainers for work you cannot see. Every engagement starts with a number and is judged by whether that number moves.
Step 1
Measure
We audit your citations, structured data, content, and authority signals, then score them as one Authority Index™ number out of 100.
Step 2
Fix
You get the gaps ranked by how many points each one is worth, so the cheapest high-impact work happens first.
Step 3
Track
We re-score monthly and watch how AI platforms actually answer questions in your category, so progress is visible.
“A Buffalo real estate agent went from 23 to 67 in 90 days — three extra qualified buyer leads a month from AI search, worth $30K-45K in potential commission.”
The work was not exotic: consistent citations, real structured data, and answers written for the questions buyers actually ask.
