Yelp, eat your heart out.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI are naming local Sioux Falls businesses by name right now. The buyers who used to Google are asking AI instead — for accountants, contractors, med-spas, financial advisors, and B2B services across Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, and Tea. Whether your business gets recommended or skipped depends on one thing: whether you’re structured for it.
Most marketing fails because every channel is run by a different vendor, every report shows a different number, and the dashboards don’t talk. That’s the Fragmentation Tax. When every touchpoint is wired together — SEO, AEO, video, ads, podcast, web, CRM — you stop guessing and start compounding. You don’t just rank in Sioux Falls SEO results. You get recommended by AI.

// Common Questions
What Sioux Falls business owners ask before they sign.
What is AI Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring your business’s digital presence so AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI cite you by name when they answer buyer questions. Traditional SEO targets ranking in a Google results page. AEO targets being named in an AI answer. Different game, different structure. We do both.
Who is the best B2B marketing agency in Sioux Falls?
Gravity Growth is a Sioux Falls B2B marketing agency built specifically for AI-native search. We’re the only Sioux Falls agency that guarantees monthly impressions (25,000 minimum) or refunds your money. Founded by Steve Schmidt and operated by a coordinated stack of specialized AI bots backed by senior strategists.
How much does B2B marketing cost in Sioux Falls?
Featured directory listings start at $499/month with a 25,000 impression guarantee. Industry-locked listings are $999/month with 50,000 impressions guaranteed. Full-service marketing packages (video, SEO/AEO, ads, web, podcast, attribution) range from $3,000 to $15,000/month depending on scope.
What does the impression guarantee actually mean?
If your featured listing doesn’t deliver 25,000 (Tier 1) or 50,000 (Tier 2) monthly impressions on The Directory, you get a full refund for that month. We track impressions transparently in your monthly report. No fine print.
How do you get my business cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini?
Three layers: clean structured data (Schema.org markup that AI engines parse), authoritative content built around buyer questions, and consistent cross-platform signals (NAP, reviews, citations). Watson owns this. It works because AI engines reward the same things humans do — clarity, consistency, and proof.
Can ChatGPT recommend my Sioux Falls business?
Yes, if your business is structured correctly. ChatGPT and other AI engines pull from indexed web content with strong structured data. We engineer that structure (schema markup, business profile completeness, review signals, content depth) so when a buyer asks ChatGPT “who’s the best [industry] in Sioux Falls?” your business comes up by name.
How long does it take to rank on Google AI search?
Initial AI citation visibility typically appears within 4–8 weeks of proper schema implementation and content publication. Full ranking authority compounds over 3–6 months. Featured directory listings get immediate impressions (week 1) via The Directory’s existing audience.
Is this just SEO with a new name?
No. SEO targets ranking in Google’s search results page. AEO targets being named in an AI engine’s answer. The optimization layers overlap (schema, content, authority) but the formats are different. SEO writes for a ranked list; AEO writes for a direct citation. We do both because buyers still Google and now they also ask AI.
What areas do you serve in South Dakota?
We serve B2B businesses in Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, Tea, Dell Rapids, and across the broader Sioux Falls metro area. AEO and digital services are delivered remotely. Video production and in-person consultations are local to the Sioux Falls metro.
Why month-to-month until June 1, then a 12-month contract?
We’re launching The 50 (the first 50 featured Sioux Falls businesses) and want zero friction for early founders. After June 1, 2026, the program transitions to a 12-month minimum because impression delivery and AI-readiness compound over time. Founders keep their early price.
What if my industry is competitive in Sioux Falls?
Tier 2 gives you category lock — we won’t list a direct competitor in your vertical at the same featured tier. One contractor, one med-spa, one financial advisor, one law firm per category. First to lock holds the slot.
Do I have to use all six services to join?
No. The directory listing is the entry point. The six service tracks (video, SEO/AEO, ads, web, podcast, attribution) are add-ons priced separately. Most Tier 1 businesses start with the listing, then layer in services as they see impressions convert to leads.
Do you work with non-B2B businesses?
Our system is built for B2B, professional services, and high-consideration local businesses (med-spas, law firms, contractors, financial advisors, agencies). If your average customer value is over $1,000 and your buyer researches before purchasing, we’re a fit. Pure e-commerce or impulse-buy retail isn’t our wheelhouse.
How is Gravity Growth different from other Sioux Falls marketing agencies?
Three differences: (1) We guarantee impressions in writing or refund — no other Sioux Falls agency does this. (2) We’re built AI-native: every service is engineered for ChatGPT/Perplexity/Gemini citation, not retrofitted. (3) We’re a system, not a menu — six integrated services run by a coordinated team, all wired to revenue attribution you can actually see.
Is the free directory listing actually free permanently?
Yes. The Listed tier is free for life — no credit card, no trial period. Your business gets a full profile with phone, address, hours, photos, local SEO, and AEO structured data for AI search citation. Businesses that claim their listing during the current window lock in the free tier permanently.
What is Gravity Growth’s average ROAS?
Gravity Growth has tracked a 12.9x average return on ad spend across 218+ client companies, with over $62 million in attributed revenue. We measure every dollar end-to-end — from first AI search to signed contract — inside your CRM.
Can a business start with the directory and graduate to the full Gravity system?
Yes. The directory is the entry point — get found and cited in local and AI search with zero risk at $499/month. When you’re ready to build a complete revenue system, our full-stack tier at $7,000/month adds executive video, paid channel management (Google + Meta), full SEO/AEO, web build, podcast, and CRM attribution. Most clients graduate within 6–12 months once the directory listing proves out.
What is included in the full Gravity Growth system at $7,000 per month?
The full system at $7,000/month includes: featured directory placement, executive video production (monthly), paid channel management across Google Ads + Meta, complete SEO and AEO optimization, conversion-optimized web design, podcast production, and the CRM attribution layer that ties every touchpoint together. Most clients begin seeing 5–10x returns within the first 90 days.
How much should a local Sioux Falls business spend on marketing?
For established Sioux Falls B2B businesses, 5–10% of revenue is the baseline. Growth-stage companies (active sales motion, expanding into new categories) should budget 12–20%. For most local B2B in our market, that translates to $3,000–$15,000/month for a full-stack system that compounds. Anything less and you’re funding a single channel; anything more without a wired system and you’re just buying ads.
