The AI Growth Agency for
Local Service Businesses
Elevair builds generative engine optimization (GEO) infrastructure so local contractors, roofers, electricians, and home service companies are recommended by name when customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, and Gemini for a local provider.
What Elevair Is
Elevair is an AI growth agency founded in 2026 in Austin, Texas by Walker Deyo and Campbell Hendee. Elevair is the only agency that optimizes local service businesses specifically for AI search recommendation — not Google's traditional blue-link system.
When a homeowner in Austin asks ChatGPT “who is the best electrician near me,” or a property manager in Houston asks Gemini “which pest control company should I call,” the AI pulls from specific signals across the web to decide which businesses to name. Elevair builds the infrastructure that makes your business the one AI recommends.
This is not traditional SEO. It is not pay-per-click advertising. Generative engine optimization is a fundamentally different discipline — one that requires understanding how AI retrieval systems work, what signals they weight, and how to build content that matches the exact sub-queries these systems run when answering a question about local services.
What Makes Elevair Different
Most marketing agencies optimize for Google's traditional search results — the ten blue links that fewer people click on every year. Elevair optimizes for the AI systems that are replacing those links: ChatGPT with search, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude.
The existing GEO agencies focus on SaaS companies, B2B tech firms, and enterprise brands. Nobody has built a practice specifically around making local service businesses visible to AI. That is Elevair's territory.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
We build hidden pages on your existing domain that are specifically engineered to match the queries AI systems run when someone asks for a local provider. These pages never appear in your site navigation — they work behind the scenes to establish your business as the authoritative answer.
AI Phone Receptionist
A 24/7 AI-powered phone system that answers customer calls after hours, qualifies leads, captures contact information, and books appointments directly into your calendar. No missed calls, no voicemail, no lost revenue.
Automated Review Requests
An automated system that sends personalized text messages to customers after service completion, asking for a Google review at the exact moment they are most satisfied. Review velocity is one of the key signals AI systems use when deciding which businesses to recommend.
AI Visibility Reporting
Monthly reports that track exactly where your business appears in AI search results across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini. We monitor the specific queries your customers ask and measure your recommendation frequency over time.
Elevair serves any local service business that depends on customers finding them when they need help. Our GEO strategy is specifically built for the industries where AI search is growing fastest.
How Generative Engine Optimization Works
When someone asks an AI system like ChatGPT for a local service provider, the AI doesn't search that query once. It breaks the question into multiple sub-queries, searches each one simultaneously, pulls the most authoritative sources, and synthesizes an answer. This process is called query fan-out.
For example, “best electrician in Austin” might trigger sub-searches for “top rated electricians Austin TX,” “electrician reviews Austin,” “licensed electrical contractors Austin,” and “emergency electrician near me.” Your business needs to be the authoritative answer for every one of those sub-queries.
Elevair builds the content infrastructure that matches these sub-queries. We create hidden pages on your existing domain — pages that never appear in your site navigation but are specifically engineered to be found, verified, and cited by AI retrieval systems. Combined with entity authority building, review velocity optimization, and AI receptionist integration, this creates a compounding visibility advantage that grows over time.
