Your Website Is About to Disappear
And most Big Island businesses don’t know it yet.
AI is changing how customers find local businesses. When someone asks “Where should I eat in Hilo?” or “Who fixes WordPress sites on Big Island?” they don’t see search results anymore. They see AI-generated answers.
If your business isn’t in those answers, you’re invisible.
What’s Happening Right Now
Google and other search engines are replacing traditional results with AI summaries. Your website that’s been on page one for years? It might not matter anymore.
Local businesses are already seeing:
-
- Website traffic dropping 40-70% overnight
- Phone calls disappearing
- Competitors showing up in AI answers while they don’t
- Years of SEO work becoming irrelevant
Why This Matters for Hawaii Businesses
Big Island businesses face unique challenges:
-
- Limited local tech resources – You can’t just hire the next consultant
- Tourism-dependent visibility – Visitors rely entirely on AI recommendations
- No time to wait – By the time you notice the problem, you’ve lost months of business

For 40 years, I’ve been solving technology problems that others said were impossible. Former Microsoft Certified network architect. Built systems for Fortune 500 companies. Now I’m focused on keeping local businesses visible and thriving.

Common Questions
Q: How do I know if AI is affecting my business? A: Check your website analytics. Sudden traffic drops, especially from Google, are the first sign. Also try searching for your business using AI tools like ChatGPT or Google’s AI overview.
Q: What’s the difference between SEO and AI optimization? A: Traditional SEO focused on keywords and links. AI optimization requires structured data, clear answers, and authoritative content that AI can understand and trust.
Q: How quickly do I need to act? A: The changes are happening now. Every week you wait is potential business lost to competitors who adapted faster.
Q: Can’t I just do this myself? A: You could try. But while you’re learning, your competitors are already implementing. I’ve been doing this for 40 years and stay current with the changes.
