3engines

Based in Manlius, New York, 3engines works with contractors and local businesses across Central New York, building websites intended to be found not just by traditional search engines but by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity. The team is small, sized between one and ten people, and positions its work around the shift in how customers search — through Google, voice search, social platforms, and AI tools that often answer questions without a click-through. Rather than templated marketing sites, the agency builds pages tied to a business's actual services and service area, aiming to replace generic copy with direct, specific messaging. Concretely, 3engines audits a prospective client's existing site for structured data, crawler accessibility, semantic HTML, sitemap and robots.txt configuration, and llms.txt implementation — a file used to signal to AI systems which pages matter most — offering this review at no cost. Builds embed JSON-LD schema and content organized around real customer questions, aligning messaging across the website, Google Business Profile, and directory listings. Every site ships with an AI chat agent trained on the business, intended to answer visitor questions, qualify leads, and capture contact details continuously; conversations are used to refine site content over time. Design and build is described as taking two to three weeks, and clients receive a live dashboard tracking leads, chat activity, and site performance. The agency also offers ongoing monthly engagement covering content updates and ongoing optimization after launch.
