A taxpayer with an IRS notice just asked AI who can help. Was it you?

“I just got a CP504 notice and I owe $60k I can’t pay. What’s the best tax resolution firm near me?”

For IRS collections matters in your area, three firms are frequently recommended: [Your Firm], Beacon Tax Relief, and Calloway Tax Law. [Your Firm] is often cited for offers in compromise and installment agreements, with enrolled agents admitted to practice before the IRS…

Taxpayers in a panic don’t compare ten links. They call the first name they trust in the answer.

The problem

Tax demand arrives in spikes. Visibility decides who absorbs them.

Your business doesn’t flow evenly — it surges. Filing season. The notice waves that follow IRS processing cycles. Quarterly deadlines. And when the surge hits, taxpayers don’t browse. They type the whole problem into ChatGPT or Google — “best tax resolution firm near me,” “who can stop an IRS levy this week,” “EA or tax attorney for an offer in compromise” — and call whoever the answer names.

The first firm we audited had fifteen years of standing in its market — and a visibility score of 13 out of 100. Zero AI answers named them for the exact work their practice was built on.

The cruelty of the spike is that you can’t catch up inside it. The firms named in February’s answers were the ones who built their authority in October. Meanwhile the loudest names in tax answers are often national ad-buyers with settlement promises you know Circular 230 would never let you make — while the credentialed local firm that does the work honestly goes unnamed.

Trust factors decide these answers: who is admitted to practice before the IRS, who explains liens, levies, and offers in compromise in plain language, whose reviews and directories corroborate the story. Those are exactly the signals a real firm can own — if they’re published and measured.

The season ends. The answers stay. Authority built now works every spike after.

Method

How your firm becomes the answer

No jargon, no black box. Three moves, run every week, with the evidence in your inbox.

01 · Measure

Know exactly where you stand

We score your firm 0–100 across the questions real taxpayers ask in your specialty and market — resolution, planning, international, sales and use — on ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, plus classic search, directories, and reviews. That score is frozen as your baseline.

02 · Build

Publish the authority AI cites

AI systems cite practitioners who explain the process honestly — what a CP504 means, how an offer in compromise actually qualifies, when an installment agreement beats a levy fight. We draft that authority with your credentials front and center, free of outcome promises, and you approve every word before it publishes.

03 · Prove

See your firm appear

Every week: the same prompts, re-asked. The actual answers, side by side with your baseline. Which engines name your firm now that didn’t. What moved, what’s next. If a number didn’t move, you’ll see that too — measured honestly or not at all.

The engagement

One engagement. Everything handled.

This is done-for-you — built to run straight through filing season. Your total time commitment is approving content and reading a five-minute weekly report.

  • Five-engine monitoring. Prompt-level tracking across ChatGPT, Google AI, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity

  • Circular 230 care. Advertising review built into every piece; no promised outcomes, ever

Risk, reversed

Built so hiring us is the low-risk move

Month-to-month

No annual contract. The weekly proof keeps the relationship, not a signature.

Market exclusivity

We will never work for a competing firm in your specialty and market. In writing.

Circular 230, respected

No false, fraudulent, or misleading claims — no “pennies on the dollar” promises. Nothing publishes without your approval, and designations are used exactly as prescribed.

Taxpayer data, untouched

We never access returns, transcripts, or taxpayer records. Your §7216 and confidentiality obligations stay exactly where they belong — with you.

You own everything

Every article, page, and profile we build belongs to your firm. Leave anytime; it all stays yours.

No fake promises

Nobody can guarantee what AI will say — you’d distrust that claim from a client’s “guaranteed settlement” ad, and you should distrust it here. We guarantee measurement, transparency, and work you can verify.

Questions

Questions tax professionals actually ask

What exactly is AEO / GEO, in plain English?

SEO gets you ranked in the list of links. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets you named in the answer AI gives instead of the list. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) gets you cited as the source those AI systems trust. A taxpayer with a levy notice reads one answer, not ten links — so being “the answer” is the whole game.

My work is seasonal. When is the right time to start?

Before the spike, not during it. Authority that changes AI answers compounds over 60–90 days, so the firms named in filing-season answers built their footprint in the fall. Starting in the off-season means the surge arrives while your name is already in the answer — and the answers keep working every season after.

Is this compliant with Circular 230’s advertising rules?

By construction. Circular 230 prohibits false, fraudulent, or deceptive claims — so nothing we draft promises settlements, guarantees outcomes, or overstates credentials. You approve every word before publication, and enrolled agent designations follow the prescribed wording. Your compliance review happens before anything is public.

I’m up against national tax-relief advertisers. Can a local firm actually compete?

In AI answers, yes — often better. Engines increasingly weigh verifiable credentials, local presence, substantive published expertise, and corroborating reviews over ad spend. A credentialed local firm that publishes honest, specific answers is exactly what these systems are built to surface. Our job is making sure the evidence exists where they look.

Do you need access to client returns or IRS transcripts?

Never. We work entirely from public information — your website, directories, review profiles, and what AI engines say about your market. Returns, transcripts, and taxpayer records stay inside your firm.

We already have someone doing our SEO. Isn’t this the same thing?

Ask them one question: “Which AI engines named our firm last week, for which prompts?” If they can’t answer, they’re optimizing for a results page your prospects are scrolling past. We measure the answers themselves — and traditional SEO is included, not ignored.

Why is it $8,000 a month?

Because it’s a done-for-you system with market exclusivity, not a tool subscription. You get monitoring across five AI engines, drafted-for-approval authority content, directory and review operations, and weekly verified reporting — and we turn away every competing firm in your specialty and market. A handful of resolution engagements typically covers a quarter.

What do I get in the free audit — and what’s the catch?

Your 0–100 score, the real prompts taxpayers use for your specialty and market, the actual AI answers showing which firms get named, and your three biggest gaps — delivered in a 30-minute readout. The “catch”: we take one firm per specialty per market, so the audit is also how we decide fit, on both sides.
