WildRun AI is an SEO, AEO and GEO studio in Bend, Oregon, founded by Thom Wilson, AI Search Specialist (SEO, AEO & GEO). The studio does the technical, local and AI-search work that gets a business found, and backs each recommendation with evidence a client can re-check.
Local SEO and Google Business Profile work, technical SEO, and AEO/GEO, meaning visibility in AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and others. Measurement and Python automation sit underneath all three, so audits are repeatable and every number is sourced.
Profile categories, services, hours and photos; name, address and phone across directories; “best of” lists; service and town pages that say something true; Maps rank grids measured from where customers actually search.
Listings and profile work →Crawls, indexation and sitemaps, redirects and canonicals, structured data, Core Web Vitals, rendering checks at phone size, and AI-crawler access. Fixes written so a web team can ship them without a meeting.
This site’s technical case →Fixed question sets across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Claude, repeated runs, citations recorded with their sources, and fixes aimed at what each engine reads.
The AI visibility method →Search Console (including the BigQuery bulk export), GA4 and Business Profile data tied to calls and forms where access allows. Dated baselines and re-measures instead of screenshots.
Search Console export guide →Crawlers, site graders, Maps grid collection, AI-answer sampling and report builders, so audits are repeatable and every number traces back to saved evidence.
Where it shows up in an audit →Every figure in a deliverable traces to a saved file. What was changed, what was observed and what is still uncertain are kept apart.
Maps and AI results move with place and time. Checks are dated, repeated and re-run against a baseline.
Fix lists say what to do first, how long it takes and who does it. No 80-item exports.
No promised rankings, AI placements or lead counts. No fake reviews, doorway pages or invented addresses.
Where a commercial tool is not needed, the studio writes its own: the site checker, the Maps grid collector and the AI-answer sampler used in the audit sample are Python.
