One sunrise · one sunset · AI knows you
dayto — AI Visibility for US home-service trades
dayto measures whether the AI answer engines that search the web name your local trade business when a nearby customer asks — then fixes your website so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and the rest can find and cite you. Any US metro, 14+ trades, from $249 per month. Run a free 60-second AI Visibility check to see your NVS score today.
When someone asks AI for a local pro, AI names one shop
When a pipe bursts at 11pm, AI picks one plumber. When a breaker pops at 2am, AI picks one electrician. Today, that shop probably isn't you — tomorrow, dayto makes it you. dayto deploys the machine-readable layers AI assistants depend on — Schema.org JSON-LD with the correct LocalBusiness subtype, /llms.txt, and FAQPage schema covering the 4 questions buyers ask built on the Princeton GEO recipe (quotation, statistic, cited sources) — so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and others can find, understand, and cite your business.
From invisible to cited — Day 0 to Month 1
Day 0, you're invisible to AI. Day 1, dayto deploys your Schema. Week 1, AI bots crawl your site. Month 1, your first AI-sourced call arrives. dayto watches every step and pings you when it happens.
Measure, fix, and prove your AI visibility
Measure
A free 60-second AI Visibility check puts your real local query — for example "plumber near {ZIP}" or "emergency electrician in {metro}" — to the AI answer engines that search the web live, and returns an NVS score from 0 to 100. Claude is not probed: it has no live web search, so its answer would come from memory rather than from today's web. dayto re-runs your weekly signals — crawler access, your completeness checklist, what AI says about you, which competitors got named — and emails you what changed on Monday, so a drop shows up in days, not six months later. The 9-signal NVS audit runs on demand, plus a stored re-measure once a month.
Fix
dayto deploys Schema.org JSON-LD, /llms.txt and FAQPage content for you — as plain files you paste with a free WordPress code plugin, or that your developer drops in once in about 15 minutes. No website yet? dayto's greenfield mode builds an AI-optimized one-pager, same $249/mo, no setup fee. dayto never needs your server credentials.
Prove
dayto tracks the calls and customers AI actually sent you with a crawl beacon, emails you the first time a real AI crawler — GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot — reads your site, real meaning its IP matched the range that vendor publishes, so a faked user-agent never triggers it, and shows your citation gap versus your top-3 local competitors — a live map of which brands each engine cites instead of you, and why.
The numbers we work from
Not opinions — citations. dayto's playbook is built on public research you can read yourself.
45% of US homeowners now ask AI to find local trade services
Up from 6% a year ago (BrightLocal 2026, 7.5× year over year). The front door for local-service discovery moved, and almost no one moved with it.
88% of US local businesses get zero citations from any AI engine
For roofers specifically, that figure is 100% (SOCi 2026, n=350K). Meanwhile conversion is 4.7× higher when AI sends the caller, because AI gives one answer and the homeowner doesn't comparison-shop.
Methodology grounded in peer-reviewed work
The Princeton GEO paper (arXiv:2311.09735) shows quotation + statistic + cited sources lifts AI citation rate 30–40%, and the Yext 2026 GEO study (n=17.2M citations) found FAQPage schema multiplies citation rate 4.7×. That approach holds across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and others.
What you get, each month
You sign up, your dashboard's AI helper introduces itself, asks 3 questions about your shop, then ships everything below. No developer needed — the AI helper files the changes, drops the static bundle for your dev, and walks you through deploy in plain English.
AI helper agent + dashboard · 24/7 status
Your in-dashboard AI agent deploys, monitors, retries failed crawls, drafts your Monday digest, and answers your "wait, what is llms.txt?" questions. Email mirrors everything important.
Standard audit report
An 11-section, share-ready HTML you can send your team Monday: 9 signals, the verbatim answer each web-searching engine gave your local query, and five prioritized growth points.
Schema.org JSON-LD + llms.txt
LocalBusiness with the right subtype (Plumber, Electrician — not generic), services, areaServed, reviews and license fields; a plain-markdown /llms.txt; and a per-business Model Context Protocol manifest AI agents can query for your hours, pricing and availability.
Alerts, security, content and lead-gen
An email on the first IP-verified AI crawl; a 12-check passive security audit (HSTS, CSP, SPF, DMARC, DKIM, SSL, exposed paths, subdomain enumeration); 12 AI-search-optimized blog drafts and 30 social posts; and a lead-gen agent that drafts ready answers to the questions buyers actually ask about your trade, for you to post on Reddit yourself. Content and lead-gen are included your first month, then a single $99/mo add-on you keep or drop.
Trades dayto supports
Plumber, electrician, HVAC, roofer, mechanic, welder, landscaper, painter, handyman, locksmith, mover, cleaning crew, general contractor and interior designer — 14 verticals, plus AI auto-detection of the right Schema subtype from your site, and an "other trade" option. dayto works in any US metro, coast to coast — not just three cities.
Pricing — two tiers
Less than one shared Angi lead. Today is that day.
Standard — $249 / month (USD)
One location, one trade, full deploy plus the in-dashboard AI helper: the 9-signal NVS audit on demand, a stored re-measure once a month, and a Monday email digest of what changed, Schema.org JSON-LD, /llms.txt and /.well-known/FAQPage schema covering the 4 questions buyers ask, Citation Gap vs top-3 local competitors, 12-check security audit, first-crawl alerts, greenfield mode, and content + lead-gen free the first month. PHCC / NECA / ACCA members get 20% off with a member ID. Prepay a year for $1,790 in USDT (TRC20) instead of $2,988. Stripe card payments incoming. Cancel any month, no contract.
Enterprise — multi-location, white-label
Everything in Standard per location, Hub-Spoke parent-org Schema, a per-location MCP runtime server, a one-time premium deep-research audit, phone-tracking (CallRail / Twilio), API access, and white-label to remove dayto branding for +$99/mo. Volume pricing usually runs $90–150 per location.
Common questions
Will my existing SEO investment still work?
Yes. dayto adds Schema.org and /llms.txt as independent layers. Your Google rankings, Google Business Profile work and link-building keep running — dayto doesn't touch your sitemap or your content.
How is dayto different from BrightLocal, Profound or Frevana?
BrightLocal is local-SEO directory syndication; Profound serves enterprise marketing teams at $499+; Frevana is e-commerce. dayto is the only AEO product built specifically for blue-collar trades — content and lead-gen agents, an in-dashboard AI helper, and Angi/Yelp/Thumbtack/BBB citation coverage baked in.
Which AI engines does dayto actually probe?
The ones that really search the web when they answer. Today that is Perplexity, Google Gemini and OpenAI's web-search model: the free 60-second check runs Gemini and Perplexity, and paid audits add OpenAI. Claude is deliberately not probed — it has no live web search, so its answer would come from memory instead of from today's web, and dayto will not sell you a guess. Claude still matters on the deploy side: ClaudeBot crawls your site, and your Schema.org and /llms.txt are built for it. Every probed engine gets localized prompts ("plumber near {ZIP}", "emergency electrician in {metro}") and dayto records which brands it cites back — that is your Citation Gap.
What if AI engines change their algorithms?
dayto's methodology is grounded in the Princeton GEO paper — quotation, statistic, cited sources — which holds across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and others. dayto re-runs your weekly signals — crawler access, completeness, what AI says about you, which competitors got named — and emails you what changed.
Do I need to switch hosting?
No. Your Deploy Pack is plain files: two go in with a free WordPress code plugin, the rest upload to your site root. dayto never needs your server credentials.
Can I cancel anytime?
There is nothing to cancel — that is the point. dayto never takes a card and nothing auto-renews. You prepay one month or one year in USDT, that period runs, and then it stops unless you top it up. Your dashboard shows the date your access runs to.
How does dayto measure success?
Three metrics, all live in your dashboard and measured, not promised: your NVS score re-audited every 4–6 weeks; your mention rate across the web-searching AI engines dayto probes, with an honest ± range; and real AI-sourced arrivals counted by your beacon. dayto doesn't quote traffic multipliers — you watch your own numbers move.
