LDZ Digital provides Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), local SEO, and website optimization for service businesses across Sarasota and Bradenton, Florida, helping clients become the business named when local customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI, or Perplexity who to hire.
Founded by Lance Ziegler, a CDMP-certified digital marketing strategist, American Marketing Association Professional Certified Marketer, and U.S. military veteran, LDZ Digital started as a traditional Sarasota SEO service and evolved the model as AI reshaped how customers find local businesses. SEO gets a business ranked. AEO gets it recommended. Most businesses today need both, and we build them together.
We work primarily with HVAC, roofing, plumbing, and landscaping companies. Lance brings 20 years of hands-on landscaping operations experience to that work, with additional focus on dental, med spa, and law firm clients.
Our method: Map the real questions customers ask AI about your business. Track whether AI names you, a competitor, or no one. Build the local content and structured data AI pulls from to answer. Fix the citation, review, and consistency gaps keeping you out of the answer.
Every client works directly with Lance. No account managers, no junior team. Engagement starts with a free AI Visibility Audit, followed by a full Forensic Audit and a month-to-month retainer with no long-term lock-in.
