Who
Ryan Bolden, Sacramento, California. Phone (916) 518-8057, answered around the clock by an assistant that can book the same calendar. Email ryan@ib365.ai. Hours for calls: Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm Pacific.
What
Two things. First, consulting for owner-run local businesses that are getting fewer calls: we make the business readable to search engines and AI answer engines, fix what blocks them, complete the listings, help earn reviews and mentions, write the pages that answer customers' questions, and re-check the engines' answers every month. Second, a build studio that partners with people who can sell: we build the app, platform or store and share ownership instead of billing agency prices.
Where
Sacramento and the region: Rocklin, Roseville, Folsom, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Davis, Lincoln, Loomis. Remote clients anywhere in the United States.
How much
The first 30-minute call is free. Work after it is quoted in writing before anything starts. Partner builds carry a founding fee and shared ownership; details are on the partner path.
Proof
We run the same software on our own properties first. On October 8, 2026 we counted 1,505,556 unique lines of application code across 38 repositories under management, and 14 live properties scanned monthly. riscent.com went from 3 to 96 on our AI visibility scanner after one fix; ryanbolden.com scored 95 on October 9, 2026. The builds are listed with their numbers on the client page.
How the engines choose, in one paragraph
A local AI answer names about two to four businesses, drawing most on the Google Business Profile (28.63% of citations) and the business website. Google's own guide says optimizing for AI search “is still SEO”. We do the SEO, then the parts the answer engines add: readable to crawlers, stated plainly, talked about by others. Google itself says it “doesn't accept payment to rank pages higher”
(How Google Search Works), which is why the work is the work.
