Home / USA
American buyers read the reviews, compare three options and decide before they ever fill in a form. Now that comparison happens inside ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity — and most US businesses aren't in the answer.
The US is the most crowded and most expensive market Reckona works in. The pressures that shape a growth plan here are not the ones that shape it in Dubai, Sydney or Mumbai.
Paid clicks in the world for categories like legal, insurance, home services and software — every ad click is expensive, while an AI recommendation costs nothing
Different licensing, advertising and privacy rules from state to state — content has to be accurate for the state you actually serve, not generic national copy
Google ratings, Yelp and industry directories are what AI engines read when they decide who to recommend — a thin review profile is a visibility problem, not just a reputation one
Every category already has agencies selling SEO and ads — very few are managing how their clients show up inside AI answers, which is where the gap is
Buyers who research heavily and compare several providers before making contact
High customer acquisition costs, where a lead lost to a better-positioned competitor is real money
Local intent, like “near me” and city-plus-service searches, that AI engines now answer directly instead of listing ten links
Lean teams who need qualification, follow-up and reporting automated rather than hired for
Regulated sectors, like healthcare, finance and legal, where claims and data handling have to be careful
B2B and SaaS buyers who ask an AI to shortlist vendors before a sales rep is ever contacted
Fast AI adoption on both sides of the sale, so the customers evaluating you are already using these tools
India is roughly 9.5 to 13.5 hours ahead of the US depending on your time zone and the season. That gap isn't something to hide. It is how a small team gets a full working day of output done while you are offline.
You flag what you need before you log off: a landing page change, a campaign brief, an automation fix, a report question.
Our team is in its core hours while the US sleeps. Build, QA and revisions happen in that window, not after it.
Calls sit in a fixed window in your morning, which is our evening, so decisions are made live and the work goes on overnight.
Reading first? Our guide GEO for US businesses covers how AI search visibility works for American companies.
Three disciplines, one accountable team — discovery, conversion and automation working as a single system rather than three separate vendors.
Not every sector, and not by accident — these are the categories where AI-search visibility already decides who wins the customer, and where paid-ad costs make owning the free answer worth the most.
Law firms, CPAs, consultants and agencies. Clients ask an AI engine to shortlist who to call before they open a directory. These are also among the most expensive categories to buy clicks in, so being the recommended name is worth the most here.
HVAC, roofing, plumbing and cleaning. “Near me” searches are now answered by AI with a short list, and the business on that list wins the call.
Buyers ask an AI for a vendor shortlist before a demo is booked. Category and comparison visibility decide who gets the call.
Patients compare clinics by reviews, credentials and insurance accepted, and AI answers now summarise all three. Marketing claims need care here.
Buyers and sellers ask AI which agents and brokerages to trust in a given city or neighbourhood before opening a listing site.
High-value, high-trust decisions where being cited by name inside an answer matters more than a paid slot.
Product recommendations inside AI answers are the newest and least contested shelf space for direct-to-consumer brands.
Course and program comparisons increasingly happen inside a chat window, not a search results page.
Not someday — right now, before they ever open a directory site or call a sales line. Same question, four cities, four different local businesses that should be the answer.
Recommends a shortlist when asked to compare options in a category.
Surfaces named brands directly inside its answer, not just a list of links.
Cites sources and names companies it considers credible enough to mention.
Increasingly answers the query before a single blue link is shown.
Most US businesses have never actually checked. A free AI Visibility Score shows exactly where you stand across all four engines, today.
Check Your AI VisibilityNo US office, and no pretending there is one. Here's what working with Reckona from the United States actually looks like day to day.
A single accountable lead across GEO, web and automation — not three vendors passing you between them.
Calls and reviews are booked in a standing slot in your morning, whether you are on Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific time.
Every engagement is quoted for your business specifically — no generic retainer menu.
We scope around the rules that apply to you, such as state privacy laws, HIPAA-adjacent data and consent for SMS outreach, and tell you up front what we will and won't touch.
Reckona works on five retainer tiers, from a lighter entry point to a full enterprise program. For clients in the US, every quote is written and invoiced in USD.
Engagements, such as GEO programs, automation projects and custom retainers, are scoped after a free audit and quoted in writing.
Scope, retainer and any project fees are stated in US dollars in the written quote, with taxes shown separately.
The audit sets the scope, and its fee is credited against your first invoice. No rate card to negotiate off.
You get three options at fixed scope, in writing, before any work starts.
Annual prepay earns two months free. See the full tier comparison.
Prefer an ongoing team instead of a scoped project? One integrated AI and human marketing team for a single monthly fee, from $4,000 per month (USD).
