Does AI know
your business exists?

We at Smooth Turtle do two things: help small businesses implement AI solutions that are right for them specifically, and help your business get found and recommended by AI.

What’s changing in search

Your customers are changing how they find you. Make sure they still do — by using Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
The work of getting your business named and recommended inside AI answers — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity — when a customer asks who to hire. A search engine hands back a list of links; an AI hands back one answer. GEO is about being that answer.
to get found by AI. We can help — and first you need to find out: does AI know your business?

See how we can help → See if AI already knows you →

To help small businesses we also do the foundational work of building websites, bots and agents to meet the needs of our clients.

Website Mobile-ready, search-ready — converts visitors into calls
Bot Answers questions & captures leads 24/7 — talks, doesn't act
Agent Connects to your systems, takes action, files reports — acts
What we do

Four ways we help your business grow

GEO is the time-sensitive one — the open ground in AI recommendations won't stay open for long. The rest builds and protects your digital foundation.

Live demo — Agents
Definition
Agent
Connects to your real systems and takes action without you. Logs leads, responds to reviews, monitors competitors — does the work, not just the talking.
  ⚡ Try Me

The bot answers. The agent acts.

Each agent connects to real systems — Google, email, your spreadsheet — and completes tasks without you in the loop. Choose one below and watch it work.

🛡️ Answers driven by AI — stays on topic. Each bot and agent is configured with a system prompt that restricts it to the client's business. It will redirect off-topic questions ("I'm set up to help with plumbing — can I answer a question about that?") and never give advice outside its scope. This is both a user experience feature and a liability safeguard.
