Easy Biz Ankeny is one of the fastest-growing cities in Iowa. New residents are searching for a business like yours online right now.
New families moving into Ankeny start every search on Google, or increasingly ask an AI assistant for a recommendation. If your website is outdated or missing the local signals search engines and AI tools look for, you're invisible to exactly the people who just moved in. The $297 AI Tools Assessment finds out whether your Ankeny business shows up, and what's blocking it if it doesn't.
Based in Altoona, Iowa. Serving Ankeny and small businesses across the region.
Why Ankeny businesses go unseen online
Most owners already know their site isn't pulling its weight. They just don't have time to dig into why, or what to do about it. That's the job.
An outdated website
If your site still looks like a placeholder or hasn't been touched in years, it tells potential Ankeny customers something you don't mean to say.
Not showing up in Google
When someone in Ankeny searches for what you do, your competitors show up and you don't. That's a fixable problem, not bad luck.
Invisible to AI search
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews are answering the same questions Ankeny customers used to type into Google. If your site isn't built for AI crawlers to read and cite, you're not in the running.
No local SEO signals
Search engines and AI tools both look for consistent local signals: your name, address, phone number, and service area. Missing or inconsistent signals push your business down the list.
Slow or not mobile-friendly
Most Ankeny searches happen on a phone. A slow site or one that doesn't work well on mobile loses the visitor before they ever see what you offer.
No schema markup
Schema markup is the behind-the-scenes code that tells Google and AI tools exactly what your business does, where, and for whom. Without it, they're guessing, and usually guessing wrong.
The website and search fix is the headline. It's not the only thing we can plug in.
A website and SEO/AI-visibility fix is the main job. Once we're already in there, it's often worth also plugging in the day-to-day leaks: missed-call text-back, AI chat and SMS booking, and automatic review requests, so nothing else is quietly costing your Ankeny customers.

A $297 session where Ted looks at your Ankeny website, your Google visibility, and whether AI search tools can even find you, then hands you a plain-English report on what's actually worth fixing.
Install what the assessment finds
A rebuilt or repaired website, schema markup, local SEO fixes, and AI-crawler access, whatever the assessment turned up. While we're in there, Ted can also plug in missed-call text-back, booking, and review requests. Many businesses keep Ted on afterward on an ongoing retainer.

- If you want help fixing it, Ted can build or repair the site himself
One person, not a call center
Easy Biz Tech is run by Ted Gaunt, based in Altoona, Iowa. Ted spent 30 years running his own small businesses before turning to this work, so he's not selling software he's never used, he's solving problems he's actually run into himself.
His clients so far are the kind of small local businesses that find him by word of mouth: the businesses people already know and trust, plus churches, ministries, and musicians. He's not a big agency with a sales team. He's one person who listens first, then builds what actually fits, including for business owners in Ankeny.
