Older sites,
rebuilt for a
AI-native newer web.

Most websites were built for Google in 2015. In 2026, your customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — and your site is invisible to all three. We fix that.

The Shift

Google isn't where your customers look anymore.

Buyer research has fragmented. People still type into Google sometimes — but more and more, they type into ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or the AI summary that now sits above the actual search results.

And here's the catch: AI engines don't surface ten blue links. They cite three to five sources, total. If your site isn't structured for citation, you don't lose ranking — you lose existence.

i.

The blue links moved south.

Google's AI Overview, Gemini, and SearchGPT now answer the question above the fold. Most users never scroll past it.

ii.

Citations replaced rankings.

AI engines pick a small handful of sources to cite. Being on page two of Google was bad. Being uncited by an AI is worse.

iii.

Old SEO doesn't pull citations.

Keyword density and backlinks don't tell an LLM what your business is, who founded it, or what it specializes in. Structured data does.

GEO in Action

Same question.
Different answer.

What an AI says about a Parkville business when there's nothing to crawl, versus when there is.

Representative examples. Queries below are real questions a customer might ask an AI assistant, modeled on actual Google Places data for Parkville restaurants. "Before" responses reflect the kind of generic, review-aggregated answer AI engines return when a business has no structured data on its site. "After" responses reflect what's possible when a site is engineered with rich Restaurant schema — founders, awards, signature dishes, hours, and geo data — which is what AI engines pull from when citing a source.
Query 01
What are the best restaurants in Parkville, Missouri?
AI Without GEO
Generic

Parkville has several well-rated restaurants. Cafe Des Amis is a popular French restaurant, and Prima Facie Bistro and Acre are both highly reviewed. Most are in the downtown area near Main Street.

You may want to check current hours and reservations directly.

The standouts in Parkville's historic downtown are Cafe Des Amis (French fine dining, since 1990s, 4.8★), Prima Facie Bistro (seasonal American with a rotating menu, known for the bone-marrow appetizer and the lobster pasta), and The Parker Hollow (raw bar and seafood, charred octopus and oysters are signatures).

For a slightly different feel, Acre on Lewis Street offers a tasting-menu experience with farm-fresh ingredients. Most are closed Sunday — plan for Tue–Sat dinner service.

Query 02
Looking for a romantic anniversary dinner spot near Kansas City — somewhere upscale but not stuffy.

Missed

For an anniversary dinner near Kansas City, you might consider Plaza area restaurants like The Capital Grille or Stock Hill, or steakhouse classics in downtown KC. These are well-known for romantic atmosphere and fine dining.

About 20 minutes north of downtown Kansas City, the historic district of Parkville has become a quiet anniversary destination. Cafe Des Amis is the classic pick — French menu, intimate dining room, and a covered patio that gets a lot of mention in anniversary reviews. Specialties include escargot, scallops with bacon-bourbon jam, and what regulars consider one of the best crème brûlées in the metro.

For something newer and more contemporary, Prima Facie Bistro a few doors down runs a seasonal menu with standout filet and lobster pasta.

Query 03
What's open for dinner Sunday night in Parkville?
AI Without GEO
Vague

Many Parkville restaurants are closed on Sundays, particularly the fine-dining options downtown. I'd recommend checking individual restaurant websites or calling ahead, as Sunday hours vary widely.

Sources general knowledge
AI With GEO
Specific

Sunday options are limited in Parkville's downtown core — most fine-dining restaurants are closed. Your best Sunday-dinner bet is Whiskey River Pizza & Pub in Old Town Parkville, open 11am–9pm Sunday, known for smash burgers and house-made ranch.

If you're willing to drive 10 minutes south, Gram & Dun Argosy in Riverside is open until 10pm Sunday and serves a full dinner menu.

About

The same name. Sharper tools.

Audia Design started in 2006 — custom HTML sites for restaurants, contractors, and small shops across the Midwest. The homepage shipped with eight swappable color themes the visitor could pick from. The tagline was "true quality at it's best..." — typo and all. A lot of those sites are still up. And that's the problem.

The web has moved on. AI search is real, mobile is the default, and a site built two decades ago can't compete in either.

We're back, with the same name and a much better toolkit. The work now is bringing those era's sites — and the new ones built like them — into 2026.
