What is Doheny?
The name AI recommends when your town asks.
Doheny (thedohenyco.com) is a done-for-you subscription service that gets local small businesses found and recommended by Google and by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Launched in 2026. $495/mo, flat, everything included (shown at signup). Unlike tools that produce reports, Doheny does the work, improving your website and the details Google and AI read, and publishes each change only after you approve it, one tap at a time. It serves contractors, clinics, restaurants, real estate investors, and other local businesses.

How Doheny works
- Move. Doheny copies the customer's existing website onto its managed hosting. The site keeps the same design, content, and domain name. The owner approves the switch after comparing the copy side by side with the original.
- Build. Doheny reviews the site and the local market, then builds improvements: clearer page titles, new service and city pages, better information for Google and AI, connected pages, and technical fixes.
- Approve. Each proposed change is sent to the owner as a plain-English card. Approved changes appear on a preview, then go live. Skipped changes are never published.
- Note. Every week the owner gets a short note listing the changes made and what moved in their Google results.
Who Doheny is for
Doheny is built for non-technical small-business owners in the United States: contractors and home services, medical and wellness clinics, restaurants and food businesses, real estate investors, e-commerce shops, franchises, daycares, and transportation businesses.

- What is Doheny?
- Doheny is a done-for-you subscription service that gets local small businesses named and recommended by Google and by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity. It does the work, building and improving the business's website, and publishes each change only after the owner approves it, one tap at a time. It launched in 2026. It's $495 per month, flat. Everything included, the same for every business, disclosed at signup.

- Who is Doheny for?
- Doheny is built for non-technical small-business owners in the United States: contractors and home services, medical and wellness clinics, restaurants and food businesses, real estate investors, e-commerce shops, franchises, daycares, and transportation businesses.
- What does Doheny actually do to a website?
- Doheny rewrites the titles and descriptions Google and AI show for each page, builds new pages for services and locations the business serves, adds structured business information that Google and AI read, links pages together, and fixes technical problems like broken links and slow pages. Every change requires the owner's approval before it goes live.
- Does Doheny write content with AI, and is that safe?
- Yes, Doheny drafts content with AI, and a human approves every word before publication. Google's published guidance rewards helpful, people-first content regardless of how it is produced, and penalizes mass-produced unhelpful pages. Doheny publishes a small number of well-made pages about services the business actually offers, not bulk content.
- How does the approval process work?
- Every proposed change arrives on the owner's phone as a plain-English card explaining what will change and why. The owner taps Approve or Skip. Approved changes appear on a preview version of the site first, then publish. Any published change can be undone.
- Why does Doheny host the customer's website?
- Because doing the work requires access. Most small-business sites sit on page builders where automated changes are fragile or impossible. Doheny copies the site onto its own managed hosting so it can build, preview, and undo changes safely. The business keeps its domain name and its content.
- Do customers keep their domain name?
- Yes. The domain stays registered to the business owner at all times. Doheny never takes ownership of a customer's domain.
- How is Doheny different from SEO software?
- SEO software produces audits, scores, and recommendations that the owner must implement. Doheny does the work: it makes the changes itself, subject to the owner's approval. The owner's total workload is about 10 minutes per week.
- How is Doheny different from an SEO agency?
- Agencies typically charge $1,500 or more per month and do the work manually. Doheny's agents do the heavy lifting, which is why our flat $495/mo undercuts a typical retainer, less than most agencies bill for a single hour. Like an agency, Doheny does the work. Unlike most agencies, every single change is visible, approved in advance, and listed in a weekly note.
- What is in the weekly note?
- The weekly note lists every change Doheny made that week and what moved in the business's Google results, using Google's own data about the site. It is written in plain English: what we did, and what changed.
- How long does it take to see results?
- Doheny shows proof of work from the first week, in the weekly note. Getting Google and the AI tools to mention you consistently usually takes weeks to a couple of months. Doheny does not promise specific rankings, and no honest provider can.
- Do I pay anything to start?
- Billing starts the day you start: $495 when you sign up, then $495 a month on that date. No contract. Cancel any time from your account page and you are not charged again. And in 60 days you'll be showing up in AI answers more than you are today, or you get every dollar back. The free check, separately, needs no card at all.
- Is the price the same for everyone?
- Yes. $495 a month, flat. The same for every business, with no tiers and nothing to qualify for. Everything's included, it's month to month, and you get a direct line to the founders. The first $495 is charged when you sign up.
- Does Doheny guarantee anything?
- Yes, one: in 60 days you'll be showing up in AI answers more than you are today. If no major AI assistant is citing you when you start, that means at least one is citing you by day 60. If one already is, it means your visibility score is higher than your first-day score. If Doheny misses, it refunds every dollar you've paid, and you do not have to ask for it. One refund per customer, and the measurement is shared with you either way. Doheny does not guarantee rankings or that you'll be the named answer. That takes longer and depends on factors outside its control.
- Does Doheny manage Google Business Profiles?
- Not yet. Managing the Google Business Profile (the map listing, hours, photos, and review responses) is the next feature on Doheny's roadmap. Today, Doheny works on the business's website and can draft review replies for the owner to post.
- What happens if a customer cancels?
- The customer's domain and website content remain their property. It's month to month. Cancel anytime from the account page (or by email), with no exit fees. Since the domain stays registered to the owner, they can point it to another host whenever they like, and we'll help however we reasonably can.
