Get more Columbus customers from Google and ChatGPT
Columbus keeps adding residents, and each new family looks for a doctor and a mechanic it has never used before. We build your website and Google listing so these people can find your business on Google, on Google Maps and in ChatGPT, and call you.
Most of our clients are in Metro Vancouver, where Licheo is based. The work is the same for a business in Columbus.
VanPlex, Vancouver, BC: VanPlex transforms Vancouver single-family lots into profitable multiplexes, pairing address-first feasibility data with a builder to developer team that carries each project from the first zoning check all the way to a finished, income-producing building.

New Columbus residents are still choosing their businesses
Columbus had 933,263 residents on July 1, 2024, 27,241 more than in April 2020. Franklin County grew to 1,356,303, and Grove City and Hilliard grew as well. Every new household has to pick a pediatrician, a hair salon and a plumber with no old habits to guide it.
When one of them searches on a phone, your website has to say in a few seconds what you do, where you are and how to book. Put your address and hours on every page, make the phone number something a visitor can tap, and keep the same details in your Google listing.
Health care, home care and child care in Franklin County
In 2024 Franklin County averaged 3,277 ambulatory health care locations, 1,018 of them offices of physicians. It also had 482 home health care services locations and 548 child care services locations. People choose these with great care, because the service is for a parent or a child, and they read before they call.
Give them what they look for: who works there and what training they have, the insurance you accept, the ages you take, how a first visit works. Use real photos of your rooms and your team. Then write down the questions families ask you on the phone, and answer them on a page they can read at night after the children sleep.
Columbus families speak many languages at home
Of the 846,196 Columbus residents aged 5 and over, 47,994 speak Spanish at home, 8,420 speak Arabic and 8,180 speak French, Haitian or Cajun.

Statewide, 33,669 Ohioans speak Nepali, Marathi or another Indic language, and 33,472 speak Amharic, Somali or another Afro-Asiatic language.
If someone on your team speaks one of these languages, say so where a visitor looks first, and add it to your Google listing. For the community that brings you the most customers, write a page in its language with the help of a fluent speaker, so a parent can read about your services and call without worry.
Franklin County grew from 1,323,819 to 1,356,303 residents over the same period. Grove City grew from 41,248 to 44,019 and Hilliard from 37,168 to 38,832. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Vintage 2024 population estimates.

Questions Columbus owners ask us
Why does a Columbus competitor appear on Google before my business?
Compare its website and Google listing with yours to see which one makes the answer easier to find. Franklin County averaged 39,104 private business locations in 2024, and a Columbus customer compares several of them for each search. A page for each service, recent reviews and correct hours help. Our free Get Found Check shows what your competitor's site has and yours lacks.
Should I write pages for Columbus areas like Clintonville or Franklinton?
Yes, for each area where you have customers. The City of Columbus map shows 21 area commissions, and residents know names like Clintonville, Franklinton and the Near East. A good area page shows jobs you finished there and how far you travel. Leave out areas you never serve, so the calls you get are calls you can take.
Do I need a Spanish, Arabic or Nepali page for my Columbus business?
If those families are your customers, a page for your main services in their language helps. 47,994 Columbus residents speak Spanish at home and 8,420 speak Arabic. Across Ohio, 33,669 people speak Nepali, Marathi or another Indic language. Have a fluent speaker write each page, and name your team's languages in your Google listing.
I run a home care agency in Columbus. How do families find us?
Through Google search and Google Maps, so your website and listing must answer their questions. Franklin County averaged 482 home health care services locations in 2024, so a Columbus family has a list to compare. Explain who your caregivers are, how you train them, which areas you cover and how the first visit works, and ask families you serve for Google reviews.
Will ChatGPT name my Columbus business when people ask it for a recommendation?
It can, when it finds plain facts about you in many places. ChatGPT and the AI answers in Google read your site, your Google listing, your reviews and any other page that names your Columbus business. We write your services, your areas and the answers to common questions clearly, keep your details the same on every site, and check each month whether ChatGPT names you.
Can my Columbus business keep its website and design?
Yes. We move your site to our platform with its design, its pages and its web address, so your Columbus business keeps what Google already knows. Your Columbus site is running on the new platform two weeks after we begin. From there we add the pages that are missing, for services, areas and common questions, and keep improving the site every week.
How do I know if more Columbus customers find me after the work?
You get a short monthly report in plain words. It counts the calls, form requests and bookings from your website and shows where each Columbus customer came from: Google search, Google Maps, ChatGPT or another site. You see your own numbers month after month, and you can ask us about any of them.
What does the free Get Found Check look at for a Columbus business?
It reads your Columbus website in under a minute and gives a letter grade. You see how ready your site is for Google and for AI answers such as ChatGPT, which quick fixes matter most, and how you compare with competitors.

Columbus is growing. When should a new business set up its Google listing?
As soon as you have an address and a phone number. Columbus grew by 27,241 residents between April 2020 and July 1, 2024, growth of 3.01%, and each new resident needs services close to home. A Google listing with your services, hours and photos, and a simple website behind it, let these people find you from your first week.
