Happy Friday,
So AI just quietly ate Google's lunch and most businesses have no idea it happened.
Let's talk about it.
In Todays Edition, TL;DR
An agency that gets your business recommended by ChatGPT and Perplexity
The birthday gift that basically fulfills itself

Google can now turn your sketches into real UI
The Friday Idea
💡 An LLMEO Agency that makes ChatGPT, Claude, etc. recommend your clients
The Problem: Did you know over 60% of Google searches end without a click now? ChatGPT crossed 400 million weekly active users. Perplexity crossed 100 million monthly.
Lets be honest, we’re asking AI for recommendations instead of Google. Like give me "best dentist in Austin," or “best startup newsletter” (hint hint its The Grey Market)
Anyway AI usually gives one answer. Maybe three. Most businesses aren't in it and have no idea they're not.
(The business owner who ranks #1 on Google but doesn't exist to ChatGPT is about to feel it.)
Solution: You run an LLMEO service. you help businesses get referenced by AI when someone asks for what they do. AI models pull from publicly available content across Reddit, forums, review sites, and Q&A platforms when forming answers.
The Business Model
Retainer: $1,500–$3,000/mo per client. Target local service businesses with real margins: lawyers, dentists, med spas, financial advisors.
5 clients = $7,500–$15,000/mo. One person can run this solo.
Reporting add-on: $500/mo for a monthly AI visibility report. Clients love receipts. This is your retention play.
The Exit: Companies like Semrush and Moz built billion dollar businesses on SEO tooling and will want a stake in whoever proves out this category first. Service agencies typically sell at 1–2x annual revenue. Get to 20 clients at $2,500/mo and you're looking at a $600K–$1.2M exit. Scale to 50 and that number hits $2–3M.
How To Build This (In A Weekend)
🧰 How to Build it:
The good news is this is really a zero technical build required. However if you want the full build breakdown check out our notion doc: ReadMe
Base44 or Lovable: This is simply to build a storefront for the business
CrowdReply: your backend engine. Learn the dashboard, understand the targeting, know what it measures.
AI Visibility Audit template: a simple doc showing a prospect exactly where they appear (or don't) when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for what they do. This is your entire sales weapon.
The Business Model:
The market's is pretty much untrained. Nobody's pushing back on pricing. This market is the wild west.
Retainer: $1,500–$3,000/mo. Target local businesses with real margins: lawyers, dentists, financial advisors. They already pay for SEO and Google Ads.
One time Audit: $500–$750. For prospects not ready to commit. Converts to retainer at a high rate once they see the gap.
Reporting add on: $500/mo. Branded monthly report showing exactly where they appear across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews vs. competitors. Clients love receipts.
Some scratch math for fun here,
5 clients = $7,500–$15,000/mo. Solo, no employees.
20 clients = $30,000–$60,000/mo.
Scale it:
0–5 clients: Run everything manually. You do the CrowdReply work, pull the reports, send the updates.
5–20 clients: Hire a VA for reporting, a second operator for outreach. Get off the tools.
20+ clients: Productize the audit into a self-serve lead gen tool. Prospects check their own AI visibility, see the gap, book a call. That's when the agency starts feeling like a software business.
Napkin Note Ideas
The Idea: A personalized, AI generated letter or newspaper that tells the story of the exact day someone was born. What was happening in the world, what the weather was like, what was #1 on the charts, what a dollar bought you.
💵 The business model:
Consumer: $35–45 per order, print on demand fulfillment via Printful or Gelato, margin around 50–60% at volume
Gifting bundles: "Send directly to them" option with a gift message increases AOV, removes friction for the buyer
Corporate gifting tier: employee milestone gifts, bulk pricing
One time purchase. $35-45. No subscription. No churn. Very Simple.
How to Build and run this: (Basically a money printer you can leave alone)
Lovable/Base44 for website
Stripe for payments, set up in an afternoon
Claude API generates the personalized letter from the birth date, engineer the prompt once, use it forever
Printful or Gelato for print and ship automatically, you never touch inventory
N8N— connects everything. Order in → Claude writes the letter → Printful fulfills → confirmation email to buyer.
Once it's built, running this business is basically running one Facebook ad campaign. Start at $30–50/day
Between holidays, the business runs itself. Fulfill orders, monitor ad performance, refresh creative every 4–6 weeks. That's the whole job.
