About · PACO AI

A small company that does the unglamorous work.

Hermosa Beach, California · Updated April 18, 2026

PACO AI is the company behind GEO. We help local businesses show up when their customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude for recommendations. We are small on purpose. We keep the price at $149, one time, because the work is finite and repeatable.

Where we started

The founder, Emmad, is a solo operator in Hermosa Beach. He started PACO AI after watching AI answer engines change the shape of local search in real time. Small businesses were ranking fine on Google and still losing to the neighbor who had a complete Foursquare listing. The levers were different. Almost nobody was pulling them.

The product began as an experiment. A scanner that queried four AI models with the same buyer-intent prompts a customer would type. The results were bleak. Ninety-eight point eight percent of local businesses were invisible to ChatGPT. The deployable fixes were boring, cheap, and exactly the kind of thing a solo shop could automate end to end.

What we build

PACO GEO is a done-for-you AI visibility service. You pay $149 once. We run a multi-model visibility scan, deploy LocalBusiness, FAQPage, and Service schema to your site, optimize your Foursquare listing, set up Bing Places, walk you through Google Business Profile, audit NAP consistency across the web, check for hallucinations, seed content in the formats AI actually cites, and set you up with monthly monitoring and score-drop alerts.

That is the whole product. No tiers. No add-ons. No subscription.

What we believe

  1. i.
    Real data beats decoration.Every number on this site is from a published source or our own tooling. If we do not have a statistic, we do not invent one.
  2. ii.
    The work, not the recommendation.Most AI visibility products produce a PDF. We ship the actual changes. Schema deployed, listings updated, content published.
  3. iii.
    One price, no surprises.$149 one-time. No hidden recurring fee, no upsell. Monthly monitoring is included.
  4. iv.
    Boring is a feature.The levers that move AI visibility are unglamorous: schema, directories, NAP, citations. Boring is what works.
  5. v.
    Small and honest.Solo founder. One phone. One inbox. If you need to reach us, hello@pacoai.co gets a real reply, usually the same day.

How we work

Most of the delivery pipeline is automated. The minute you pay, we begin running the scan. Schema is generated and packaged for your site. Directory drafts are queued for your approval. A competitor analysis is produced. We notify you when each stage is ready. Most setups complete in under 72 hours.

For Google Business Profile specifically, we walk you through setup rather than connecting directly. Google's OAuth verification for third-party GBP access takes two to six weeks, and we would rather have you in-market in three days than in limbo for a month.

Why the name

PACO is short for "personal AI company operator." The first product was an AI ops tool for solo founders. When it became clear that AI visibility for local businesses was a bigger, more tractable problem, we pivoted the company toward GEO and kept the name. Same team. Same values. Different product surface.

Where this is going

The arbitrage window on GEO is wide open today because eighty-seven percent of websites still have no structured data, and a majority of local businesses have never touched their Foursquare listing. That gap will close. When it does, the businesses that moved first will own the AI citations in their market for years.

If you want to see where your business stands, the free scan takes thirty seconds. If you want us to fix it, you can start here. Either way, hello@pacoai.co reaches a real person.
