You just opened. Can people find you?
When someone needs a business like yours, they search Google or they ask AI. AI tools often answer with a short list of names. A brand-new business may have little for Google or the AI to read yet. That is normal. It is also fixable.
The check is free. We ask 5 questions a customer would ask, in Claude, ChatGPT and Perplexity. That is 15 answers. You see who the AI named and which websites it read, usually within about half an hour. No card needed. AI answers change from day to day, so one check is a sample, not a verdict.
The problem, in one line
A new business with no website and no Google Business Profile gives Google, and the AI, nothing to read.
What we do for new businesses
- We build you a simple website with your name, phone, hours and the area you serve.
- We set up your Google Business Profile so you can show up on the map.
- We list you on the main map and directory services, like Bing Places and Apple Business Connect.
- We check what AI says about your trade in your town, before and after, the same way both times.
Your domain is always in your name. If we set up your Google profile, it is yours. With the Launch Kit and the starter website, the site is yours too, and you can take it with you. With the $39 monthly website, your words, photos and logo are yours; the design stays ours until you have paid for 12 months, and then it is yours too.
See what you get
These are example sites for made-up businesses, built with the same Launch Kit you would get. Open one on your phone; that is how most customers will see yours.
Each one works on a phone and puts a way to reach the business at the top. Each one states who the business is, what it does and where it works, in a form Google and AI tools can read.
How it works
- You pay and send your details. Business name, phone, hours, services, the area you serve, and a few photos if you have them. Email is fine.
- We send your first draft. We tell you the date when you order. You ask for changes (2 rounds are included) or approve it. For the Launch Kit and the starter website, your setup fee is fully refundable until you approve. If we hear nothing for 30 days after we send the draft, it counts as approved.
- We go live. We connect your domain. If your plan includes them, we set up your Google profile and listings and walk you through Google’s verification step.
- We check what AI says. Before and after, the same questions in the same AI tools, so you can see what changed.
Why you can trust us with this
- We run real businesses on the same tools. Mark Griffin runs a boarding kennel with his family in Oregon and was a school administrator.
- We publish our research, every answer kept. We asked ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity the questions a puppy buyer types, 735 times across 27 states, and published every count. It is a dog breeder study, but it is the same method we use for you. See the Breed Study.
- You own everything, always. Your domain, your Google profile and your accounts stay in your name. We never hold them to make you stay.
- Low risk on setup fees. The Launch Kit and starter website fees are refunded in full until you approve the first draft. The Google profile setup is refunded if we cannot get your profile submitted to Google. Monthly plans cancel any time.
- A real business you can reach. Direct-Me LLC, an Oregon company. Call 833-736-1991 or email admin@direct-me.org.
One example you can check yourself
This is what being found looks like, with the date it was measured. It is not a promise for your business. North Star Tutoring is a reading tutor in Gresham, Oregon. On September 9, 2026, we searched “dyslexia tutor gresham oregon”, set to Gresham. North Star was first in the regular results. It was the first business named in Google’s AI Overview. It was second in the map listings. Anyone can search it. Rankings move, so the date matters.

- Oregon new business checklist: the first 30 days, yearly deadlines, and getting found.

- Annual report reminders: tell us your state and the month you registered at admin@direct-me.org and we try to email you before it is due, with the link to your state’s own filing page. Free. Your state is the authority, not us, so do not rely on our email alone. We never file for you.
What we will not promise
No one can promise that AI will name you, or that Google will put you first. What we promise is honest work and an honest count, before and after, from the same questions in the same AI tools.
