AI Usage Policy

Biz Builders may use artificial intelligence and automation tools to assist with activities such as:

• Research and information gathering
• Website planning and content development
• Local search and visibility analysis
• AI visibility monitoring
• Competitive research
• Content organization and refinement
• Search and keyword research
• Google Business Profile support
• Marketing strategy development
• Business and service positioning
• Data organization and analysis
• Workflow planning
• Drafting, editing, and summarizing information
• Identifying visibility gaps and opportunities

The specific tools used may vary depending on the project, service, technology available, and client needs.

AI-generated or AI-assisted information may be used as a starting point, research aid, analysis tool, drafting tool, or productivity resource.

Biz Builders does not rely solely on AI-generated output when making strategic recommendations or delivering client-facing work.

When appropriate, AI-assisted work is reviewed, evaluated, edited, or interpreted by Biz Builders before it is used in a client project.

Artificial intelligence systems may produce information that is incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, misleading, or incorrect.

AI systems may also interpret the same information differently depending on the tool, model, data source, prompt, location, timing, or other factors.

Clients should not treat AI-generated information as independently verified fact unless it has been specifically verified.

Biz Builders may help businesses strengthen the digital signals that search engines and AI systems use to understand, surface, cite, or recommend businesses.

However, Biz Builders does not control:

• ChatGPT
• Google
• Gemini
• Microsoft Copilot
• Perplexity
• Google Maps
• Search engines
• AI assistants
• Third-party recommendation platforms
• Any other external search or AI system

These platforms determine their own rankings, responses, citations, recommendations, and results.

Biz Builders does not guarantee that a business will:

• Rank in a particular search position
• Appear in Google Maps
• Be mentioned by an AI system
• Be cited in an AI-generated response
• Be recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, or another AI platform
• Appear for a particular prompt or search query
• Maintain the same visibility over time
• Receive a specific amount of traffic, leads, revenue, or business

Our services are designed to strengthen visibility signals and improve the quality, consistency, relevance, and accessibility of information about the business.

Results depend on many factors outside the control of Biz Builders.

When necessary to perform services, Biz Builders may use business-related information in AI-assisted tools.

This may include information such as:

• Public business information
• Website content
• Business descriptions
• Service information
• Location and service-area information
• Marketing content
• Public reviews
• Public competitor information
• Client-provided project information
• Draft content or working materials

Biz Builders will use reasonable judgment when determining what information is appropriate to use with AI-assisted tools.

Clients should not provide highly sensitive, confidential, regulated, or personally identifying information for use with AI tools unless Biz Builders specifically requests it and the parties have determined that doing so is appropriate.

Examples may include:

• Passwords
• Financial account credentials
• Social Security numbers
• Medical information
• Sensitive employee information
• Confidential legal information
• Authentication credentials
• Other information that should not be shared with third-party technology providers

Clients are responsible for identifying information that is confidential, proprietary, regulated, or subject to special handling requirements.

Biz Builders may use third-party artificial intelligence, automation, analytics, search, marketing, or technology platforms while providing services.

Those providers operate independently from Biz Builders and may have their own:

• Terms of service
• Privacy policies
• Data-retention practices
• Security practices
• AI training policies
• Processing practices

Biz Builders does not control the internal operation or data practices of third-party platforms.

Where appropriate, clients should review the terms and privacy policies of platforms they authorize Biz Builders to use on their behalf.

Clients are responsible for providing accurate business information.

Biz Builders may rely on information supplied by the client when developing websites, visibility strategies, business descriptions, service information, location information, or other materials.

Clients should review important factual information before publication.

Clients remain responsible for reviewing and approving final content, claims, business descriptions, offers, pricing, legal statements, and other materials when approval is requested.

AI-assisted drafting does not shift responsibility for the accuracy of business-specific information away from the client.

Some content produced during a Biz Builders engagement may be developed with assistance from AI tools.

AI may assist with drafting, organization, editing, brainstorming, summarization, or research.

Biz Builders may substantially review, revise, restructure, or combine AI-assisted output with original human work before it is used.

Biz Builders does not knowingly use AI tools to intentionally copy protected third-party material.

However, clients should understand that AI systems are trained and operated by third parties, and Biz Builders cannot independently verify every aspect of how those systems were developed.

AI-assisted information provided through Biz Builders should not be interpreted as legal, financial, accounting, tax, medical, or other regulated professional advice.

When a project involves those areas, clients should consult an appropriately licensed professional.

Biz Builders may help organize information, identify questions, or prepare materials, but does not replace professional advisors in regulated fields.

Artificial intelligence technology, search platforms, algorithms, ranking systems, and recommendation systems change frequently.

Features, capabilities, policies, and results available today may change or become unavailable in the future.

Biz Builders may adjust its tools, methods, recommendations, and service processes as these technologies evolve.

Biz Builders uses AI as a practical business tool, not as a substitute for judgment.

Our goal is to use technology where it helps improve research, efficiency, visibility, analysis, and client outcomes while keeping strategy and decision-making connected to the actual business.

Clients may ask questions about how AI is being used in their project at any time.

Biz Builders may update this AI Usage Policy as technology, services, business practices, or legal requirements change.

Any updated version will be posted on this page.
