# Signal Forge
> AI visibility engine for local businesses in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Signal Forge installs structured data layers — llms.txt, Schema.org markup, and neighbourhood content matrices — that make local businesses citable by AI search engines including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. Once deployed, the engine works 24/7 without ongoing effort, compounding citations every month.

## What We Do
Signal Forge solves a specific problem: local businesses are invisible to AI search. When a potential customer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity "best HVAC contractor in Edmonton," the AI cites structured, machine-readable sources. Businesses without llms.txt, Schema.org markup, and authoritative local content simply do not appear — regardless of their Google Ads spend.

## Services
- AI visibility audits: we scan ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview to show exactly where a business stands
- llms.txt deployment: machine-readable identity file for every major AI crawler
- Schema.org structured markup: full niche vocabulary (HVACBusiness, LegalService, DentalBusiness, MortgageBroker, Restaurant, and more)
- Neighbourhood content matrix: 50+ programmatically generated pages targeting every city neighbourhood + service type
- Monthly citation monitoring and ROI reporting
- Ashkelon Iron Gate verification: cryptographic badge proving AI recommendations are authentic, not hallucinated
