TrendSpot Media Launches Specialized GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) Services to Help Companies Dominate AI-Driven Search Results

CHATTANOOGA, TN - February 5, 2026 - As Google's AI Overviews and SearchGPT transform how consumers find businesses online, a new analysis by TrendSpot Media reveals a troubling reality: 87% of small and mid-sized businesses remain unprepared for AI-powered search, potentially losing up to 60% of customer inquiries to competitors who are optimizing for generative engines.

Chattanooga Digital Marketing Agency Reveals Critical Digital Marketing and AI Search Gap: 87% of Small and Mid-Sized Businesses Unprepared for Google's AI-Powered Search Era

TrendSpot Media, a Chattanooga-based digital marketing agency specializing in AI-driven SEO and marketing automation, analyzed over 500 small and mid-sized business websites across the country and found that the vast majority lack the structured data, entity recognition, and authoritative content signals required to appear in AI-generated search summaries.

"Traditional SEO is no longer enough. When someone asks ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview for business recommendations, the algorithms are pulling from a completely different set of ranking factors," said Teodor Radovic, co-founder and Senior SEO & AI Specialist at TrendSpot Media. "Companies that dominated Google's traditional search results for years are suddenly invisible in AI-generated responses. We're helping them bridge that gap."

Founded in 2023, TrendSpot Media serves small and mid-sized businesses across the country, with a specialized focus on the Chattanooga metropolitan area. The agency combines 15+ years of enterprise-level SEO expertise with cutting-edge AI automation to deliver measurable results. TrendSpot Media's proprietary AI Growth Engine automates everything from content creation and SEO monitoring to lead generation and reputation management, allowing business owners to compete with larger regional and national competitors.

Key findings from TrendSpot Media's analysis include:

• 87% of analyzed websites lack proper schema markup for business entities
• Only 23% have optimized content that answers customer questions in AI-friendly formats
• 64% have insufficient E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) signals
• Businesses appearing in AI Overviews see an average 43% increase in qualified leads within 90 days

The agency's comprehensive service packages, ranging from $2500 to $11,999, include SEO optimization, content marketing strategy, technical SEO audits, and advanced AI search optimization (GEO) - services previously available only to enterprise-level clients.

"We're seeing a fundamental shift in how people search," added Teodor, "Voice assistants, AI chatbots, and generative search are becoming the primary way consumers find businesses. The companies that adapt now will dominate their markets for the next decade."

TrendSpot Media is currently accepting new clients and offers complimentary AI Search Readiness Audits to qualifying businesses in the Chattanooga area and beyond.
