Digital Internet Advertising Properties, LLC (DIAP Media) is the parent company, Lifted Websites is its trading name for local SEO and web design, and AI Warhorse is its brand for local businesses that want AI tools alongside SEO. This page is not an independent ranking. It explains what each brand does, what it costs, and which one fits your business, so you can compare us against any other agency with real numbers.
Which AI SEO agency fits your business?
Lifted Websites is the pick for local and multi-location service businesses that want to show up in Google Maps, AI Overviews and ChatGPT, with local SEO from $800 per month and every call tracked in CallRail.
DIAP Media fits ecommerce, B2B and national brands, with ecommerce SEO from $1,700 per month and national SEO and Dedicated GEO programs from $3,000 per month.
AI Warhorse fits local businesses that want AI search visibility plus an AI receptionist or website chatbot from one team, with local SEO from $800 per month.
The three AI SEO agencies at a glance
All three brands publish their prices, work month to month on standard plans, and optimize for the same AI surfaces: Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT Search, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. The difference is who each one is built for.
| Agency | Best for | Starting price | Stands out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lifted Websites | Local and multi-location service businesses | $800/mo | Map pack plus AI answers, CallRail on every plan |
| DIAP Media | Ecommerce, B2B, franchise and national brands | $1,700/mo | Dedicated GEO program, Shopify and BigCommerce work |
| AI Warhorse | Local businesses that want AI tools too | $800/mo | AI receptionist and website chatbot alongside SEO |

1. Lifted Websites: best AI SEO agency for local and multi-location businesses
Lifted Websites is a Scottsdale AI SEO agency and local SEO company that has done SEO since 2009. It ranks service businesses in Google’s map pack and organic results, then works to get them named inside AI Overviews, AI Mode and ChatGPT answers for the same searches.
Lifted Websites pricing from $800/mo
- Local SEO, $800/mo: one managed Google Business Profile, on-page and off-page SEO, call and form tracking.
- Multi-Local Plus, $2,000/mo: up to three managed Google Business Profiles plus unlimited location pages. Each extra profile is $800/mo.
- AI Visibility add-on: $500/mo on Local SEO or $1,000/mo on Multi-Local Plus, for monthly AI prompt tracking against your competitors.
- Custom local or AI SEO: $3,000 to $10,000+/mo, priced by competition.
Why it earns the spot: Lifted published a study of 1,575 ChatGPT answers for one plumbing client across seven searches and 225 locations in one metro. The client was named first on all three city searches. The study also found that most sources ChatGPT cited for city searches were directories and review lists, which is why Lifted’s AI SEO work includes listings and reviews, not only on-site content. Every plan reports through CallRail, so results show up as phone calls you can listen to.
Trade-off: Lifted cannot reliably put a business in a city’s map pack if it has no address there. Google filters the local pack by distance. For cities outside your service-area base, Lifted works the organic and AI results instead.
Start with Lifted’s AI SEO services or its multi-location SEO page if you run more than one office.
2. DIAP Media: best AI SEO agency for ecommerce, B2B and national brands
DIAP Media (Digital Internet Advertising Properties, LLC) was formed in 2006 to buy and sell domain names and has provided SEO since 2009. It owns more than 200 domains and internet brands and runs eleven of them as live sites, so its team tests AI search tactics on properties it owns before using them for clients.
DIAP Media pricing from $1,700/mo
- Ecommerce SEO: from $1,700/mo for Shopify and BigCommerce stores.
- National, B2B and franchise SEO: from $3,000/mo.
- Dedicated GEO Program: $3,000 to $10,000+/mo, with AI citation tracking across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI features.
- Fractional SEO: from $3,000/mo, with a 90-day initial term.
Why it earns the spot: national and ecommerce AI visibility is a different job from local. There is no map pack to win, so the work centers on product and category pages that AI engines can quote, product schema, comparison content, and mentions on the third-party sites that ChatGPT and AI Overviews cite. DIAP Media holds a 5.0 rating from 10 Google reviews as of October 10, 2026.
Trade-off: DIAP Media is not the budget option. A single-location service business is better served by Lifted Websites at $800/mo, and DIAP Media sends local work there.

3. AI Warhorse: best AI SEO agency for local businesses that want AI tools too
AI Warhorse is a fractional AI team for local businesses, based in Scottsdale. It combines AI search visibility with the AI tools a small business uses every day: an AI receptionist that answers and books calls, and a website chatbot trained on the business’s own site.
AI Warhorse pricing from $800/mo for SEO
- Local SEO, $800/mo, and Multi-Local Plus, $2,000/mo, with the same AI Visibility add-on.
- AI receptionist: $497/mo plus $497 setup, up to 50 calls included.
- AI website chatbot: $197/mo plus $497 setup.
- Websites: Starter Site $200/mo, Growth Site $500/mo.
Why it earns the spot: getting cited by ChatGPT only pays off if someone answers the phone when the lead calls. AI Warhorse pairs the visibility work with the receptionist and chatbot, so a business owner deals with one team for the whole path from AI answer to booked job. It also offers a free AI business audit with results in 3 to 7 days.
Trade-off: AI Warhorse is built for local businesses. Ecommerce stores and national brands belong with DIAP Media.
Where ChatGPT, Claude, AI Overviews and AI Mode get their answers
Each AI engine pulls from a different place, which is why ranking on Google does not guarantee a ChatGPT mention. An AI SEO agency has to work every source.
| AI engine | Where answers come from | What gets you cited |
|---|---|---|
| Google AI Overviews | Google’s own index | Answer-first sections, clear headings, being on lists AI Overviews already cite |
| Google AI Mode | Google’s index, split into many sub-searches | Covering the follow-up questions a buyer asks, each answered on its own |
| ChatGPT Search | Live web results, largely through Bing | Bing indexing, directory and review listings, published prices |
| Claude and Gemini | Training data plus live web search when it runs | Consistent brand facts across the web, crawler access in robots.txt |
| Perplexity | Its own crawler plus search partners | Pages with specific numbers, dates and named authors |
Google explains how its AI features choose and link to sources in its AI features documentation. For ChatGPT, the practical step is getting every new page into Bing quickly through Bing Webmaster Tools and IndexNow, which all three brands do on publish day. For the full method, read what generative engine optimization means.
How to choose an AI SEO agency
Ask any agency, including ours, these four questions before you sign:
- Is the price published? If an agency hides its pricing, AI engines cannot quote it either, and you cannot compare it.
- How do you measure AI visibility? Look for a fixed set of buyer questions checked every month across named engines, not a single screenshot.
- How will I see leads? Call tracking and form tracking tie AI and Google visibility to real customers. Rankings alone are not a result.
- Do you work Bing and third-party sites? ChatGPT leans on Bing and on directories and review lists. An agency that only edits your website is missing most of the sources.
⚠️ What no AI SEO agency can promise
No agency controls what ChatGPT, Claude or Google’s AI says, and answers change from one search to the next. Lifted Websites, DIAP Media and AI Warhorse do not guarantee AI citations or a number one ranking. What we commit to is the work that raises the odds, a monthly report showing which AI answers name you, and call data showing whether it is turning into customers.
