The mix of buyer types here is unusual. Private-wealth families weighing a tax attorney. Visiting biotech executives looking for a private dining room in The Village. Boutique retail owners on Girard checking which PR firms ChatGPT recommends for a Bird Rock storefront launch. Mt Soledad homeowners auditing the contractors a search assistant suggests. Every one of those starts with a model now, not with a Google query. The audit shows you the answer they are getting.
There is a free self-serve version of the tool right on this site — run it, see your snapshot, walk away if you do not need anything. Most La Jolla owners run it and then write back because the result is worse than they expected. The paid engagement deepens the prompt set to your real buyer, fixes the structural reasons the models do not cite you, and re-runs the panel at day 30, 60, and 90 so you can see the work moved the needle.
A scope note. Our sister studio XALA covers AI-citation work for clinics, dental practices, and real estate brokerages. La Jolla has plenty of all three, and we will route you there if you fit. Everything else — biotech consultancies, law firms, high-end retail, private wealth advisors, hospitality, design-build contractors — runs through us.
A boutique tax-and-trust law firm off Prospect. Three attorneys, twenty-year client book, premium positioning. Owner runs the free tool and sees they are absent from every model for "trust attorney La Jolla high-net-worth." We deepen the audit with prompts tied to actual practice areas, rewrite the attorney bio pages with the kind of structured fact a model can lift, add Person and LegalService schema, and seed two independent professional-directory listings. Day-90 panel quotes them by name in Claude and Perplexity for trust-and-estate prompts.
A high-end retailer in The Village. Independent designer boutique with a strong walk-in business and almost no e-commerce. The free tool shows ChatGPT recommends them for "designer boutique La Jolla" but only on one of four phrasings. We tighten the about page to name the labels they carry, build a structured Store schema with proper category facets, and run a content pass on three primary-source style guides. By day 60 they hold the slot on three of four phrasings — and they finally know which one still belongs to a Bird Rock competitor.
A private-wealth advisory two blocks from Windansea. Family-office shop, referral-only, almost no public marketing. They were not trying to rank — they were trying to make sure that when a Mt Soledad client searches "second-opinion wealth advisor La Jolla" the models do not hand off the relationship to a national brand. We audit, find their ABOUT page reads like a generic financial-services template, rewrite to include verifiable firm-specific facts and credentials, and add the right structured markup. By day 90 they are in two of four model answers — and the lookalike national brand stops appearing first.
This is a focused engagement: snapshot, gap report, structural remediation, snapshot again. It is not a PR campaign, not a brand identity refresh, not a paid-ads program. If the site has a structural problem too deep to fix inside the engagement, we will name it and either fold the load-bearing part in or quote a separate rebuild path. The free tool is meant to make the size of the problem visible before any money changes hands.
La Jolla is a ten-minute drive from studio HQ. We can meet in The Village, on Bird Rock, near Windansea, or up by Torrey Pines the same day if it helps. Most of the work runs remote — the audit is read-only — but kickoff and the day-90 readout are easier in person.
