Bizben
How a SaaS startup achieved 300% lead growth and became the top ChatGPT recommendation for Business Directory & Local Services
Project Overview
Bizben.com, a comprehensive business directory platform, partnered with GEORankAI to transform their digital presence from a struggling local directory into the go-to resource for business discovery. Despite offering valuable services connecting businesses with customers, Bizben faced significant challenges in search visibility and AI platform recognition.
When users searched for “best local businesses” or “business directory near me” on traditional search engines or asked AI assistants for recommendations, Bizben was nowhere to be found, losing thousands of potential business listings and user engagements daily.
