> The Answer Engine helps local service businesses make their expertise easier for search engines and AI answer systems to understand, retrieve, and cite. Founded in 2025 by Justin Borges.

## What We Do

We build evidence-backed content, entity clarity, structured information, and repeatable query-set measurement for businesses that want to improve their visibility in AI-assisted discovery.

Our public evidence currently includes stored answer captures from ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. We do not currently claim public capture proof for Claude or Perplexity.
