01 — Why this, here

B2B buyers in Cypress vet you through AI before they ever call.

Cypress runs on quiet industry — aerospace suppliers, light-industrial shops, logistics operators, and the family retail along Lincoln and near the college. A lot of that work is business-to-business, and B2B buyers have changed how they shortlist. A procurement lead or an operations manager now asks an AI model for "a precision machining supplier near Cypress" or "a third-party logistics partner in north Orange County" and treats the answer as a starting list. If a model cannot verify you, you are not on that list.

The audit shows you what the buyer actually sees. I run the prompts a real purchasing contact would use, against every model that matters, and hand back a black-and-white snapshot: where you get cited, where a competitor gets cited in your place, and where your category has a gap nobody is filling. For an industrial supplier, being absent from the AI answer is the same as being absent from the bid.

One thing up front. ORBT Labs is one person, working out of San Diego. My sister studio XALA handles clinics, dental, and real estate — if you fall in those, I will hand you off. Aerospace and light-industrial suppliers, logistics, education-adjacent services, and family retail in Cypress run through me.

02 — What we build

Free tool first. Paid engagement when the answer is ugly.

  • The free tool — run the audit yourself in about thirty seconds. Same model panel we use in client work; no email gate, no upsell prompt.
  • Paid engagement: a deepened prompt set tuned to your Cypress buyer, run against ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, with answers archived and diffed.
  • A gap report — where the models cite you, where they cite a competitor instead, and where the category has a vacuum nobody owns yet.
  • Schema, entity, and source-credibility fixes shipped directly to your site or handed off as a clean diff for your developer.
  • Day 30, 60, and 90 follow-up snapshots run on the same panel — you see what moved, in plain side-by-side English.
  • A short readout written for a non-technical owner, so the conversation with your marketing person stops being theater.

From Free tool, $1,500 paid engagement · 1 to 3 weeks · Owner-operated.

03 — What this looks like

Three composite scenarios from this market.

An aerospace machining subcontractor off Walker. Twenty years of program work, a referral pipeline that is starting to thin, no presence in Perplexity for the supplier queries that matter. The owner runs the free tool and gets nothing back. I do a paid engagement: a capabilities rewrite that names actual processes, tolerances, and certifications, one indexable Service page per capability, and a primary-source company history. By day 90 they appear in Claude and Perplexity for two of three target query shapes.

A light-industrial manufacturer near the Cypress College area. Strong shop, weak digital footprint, every model recommends a larger competitor. The free tool confirms the blind spot. We ship Organization and Service schema, rewrite the product pages to name materials and run sizes a model can lift, and seed two industry-directory listings. The day-90 panel puts them in the answer set for their core capability prompt.

A logistics and warehousing operator along Lincoln Avenue. Reliable regional player, invisible when a shipper asks ChatGPT for "fulfillment near Cypress CA." We rewrite the service pages around verifiable coverage area and capacity, add the right schema, and earn one credible trade-listing mention. Day-60 snapshot has the model naming them directly for the fulfillment prompt.

04 — Honest scope

This is an audit and a focused remediation, not a brand overhaul. I do not promise a specific citation count and I do not run paid ads. If structural issues are blocking AI crawlers entirely, I name them in the report and either fix the load-bearing pieces in scope or quote a separate rebuild. The free tool tells you most of what you need to know before you pay a dollar — which is exactly why it is free.

San Diego is studio headquarters. Cypress sits up in north OC, roughly two hours out, so the work runs mostly remote. The first conversation can be a call or in person if it earns its place; the audit does not change either way.

This page was drafted from a structured brief and hand-reviewed before launch. The work itself is custom, owner-operated, never templated.
