This is your nine-step, do-it-today playbook for shipping one AI-ready local service page that AIs love and humans trust. Follow it in order, publish this week, and turn answer boxes into calls and texts. Steal this format, ship fast, and reclaim visibility before competitors cement habit with AI summaries that never need your site.
1. Choose one market and job.
WHY IT MATTERS: Focus effort, capture intent – Pick a single service in a single area. Define the urgent moment you want to win, for example, “after-work water heater repair in Greenpoint.” Keep scope tight so copy is specific and quotable.
2. Write a 7-word loss-aversion headline.
WHY IT MATTERS: Stop scrolls, frame urgency – Exactly seven words, combine two triggers like loss aversion plus urgency. Examples, “Stop Losing Brooklyn Emergencies After 6 PM,” “Avoid Costly Floods With 90-Minute Response.” Put it above the fold.
3. Add the one-sentence positioning take.
WHY IT MATTERS: Clarifies offer, reduces friction – One crisp line that states job, area, speed, and price expectation. Template, “Same-day [service] in [neighborhoods], upfront pricing, arrival in [time window].” This becomes the page’s lead.
4. Build 5–7 skimmable FAQs.
WHY IT MATTERS: Answers fast, fuels summarizers – Write one-sentence answers buyers can read in twenty seconds total. Cover radius, arrival time, price range, warranties, insurance, after-hours, and how to book fast. Example, “How fast can you get here? We hold two emergency windows daily and reply by text in ten minutes.”
5. Seed geo cues and specifics.
WHY IT MATTERS: Grounds trust, improves attribution – Name 3–5 neighborhoods plus 2–3 landmarks or transit notes, include access tips and any insurance or financing notes. Use natural language like a local, “alley parking is fine,” “near the L train at Bedford.”
6.Add proof buyers can verify.
WHY IT MATTERS: Builds credibility, accelerates decisions – Include one short testimonial with name plus neighborhood and one forty-second before or after clip with a caption showing outcome and time, “From leak to dry in three hours.” Keep both authentic and specific.
7. Implement schema that AI prefers.
WHY IT MATTERS: Structured data, quotable clarity -Add JSON-LD for Local Business, FAQ Page, and a Review snippet. Populate name, phone, address, hours, area-served, each FAQ pair, and one real review. Validate in a structured data testing tool before you publish.
8. Place one concrete CTA with timing.
WHY IT MATTERS: Removes hesitation, triggers contact – Use a single action, stated plainly with response time. Example, “Text a photo for a price, ten-minute response, seven days a week.” Repeat once at the end, do not add competing buttons.
9. Launch, measure, iterate weekly.
WHY IT MATTERS: Learn quickly, compound advantage – Ship one page per market each week. Track calls or texts per hundred visits and average time to first response for seven days. A/B test headline plus CTA copy. Keep the winner, replicate to the next market.
