dayto — AI Visibility for US home-service trades

dayto measures whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and other AI engines name your local trade business when a nearby customer asks — then fixes your website so they do. 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, /.well-known/mcp.json, and 12 FAQPage entries 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 probes ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and others with your real local query — for example "plumber near {ZIP}" or "emergency electrician in {metro}" — and returns an NVS score from 0 to 100. dayto re-audits weekly across 8 structural readiness signals and sends a Monday digest, so a drop shows up on Monday, not six months later.

Fix

dayto deploys Schema.org JSON-LD, /llms.txt, /.well-known/mcp.json and FAQPage content for you — through a WordPress plugin (5 themes tested: Avada, Divi, Astra, GeneratePress, Hello) or a one-time static drop your developer applies 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, alerts you by email and Telegram the moment GPTBot, ClaudeBot, GeminiBot or PerplexityBot first reads your site, 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 mcp.json?" questions. Email mirrors everything important.

Standard audit report

A 28-section, share-ready HTML you can send your team on Monday: 8 signals, probe transcripts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and others, and 10 prioritized fixes.

Schema.org JSON-LD + llms.txt + mcp.json

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

Email + Telegram alerts on the first AI-bot 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 finds buyer-intent questions in your metro's Facebook groups, Nextdoor and Reddit and drafts a ready answer for each. 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: weekly NVS audit + Monday digest across 8 signals, Schema.org JSON-LD, /llms.txt and /.well-known/mcp.json deployed, 12 FAQPage entries, Citation Gap vs top-3 local competitors, 12-check security audit, WordPress plugin, 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, /llms.txt and /.well-known/mcp.json 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 — per-business MCP servers, content and lead-gen agents, an in-dashboard AI helper, and Angi/Yelp/Thumbtack/BBB citation coverage baked in.

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-audits weekly, so when something shifts you see the drop on Monday, not in six months.

Do I need to switch hosting?

No. dayto deploys via a WordPress plugin (5 themes tested) or a one-time static drop applied in about 15 minutes, and never needs your server credentials.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, no contract. Standard is month-to-month USD or annual USDT TRC20. Cancel from your dashboard, and dayto keeps your access until the period ends.

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 ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and others 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.
