— Probably Genius Relocates to St. Petersburg With AI Visibility Services
ST. PETERSBURG, FLA., August 18, 2026 — Probably Genius, the AI visibility company founded by Jacquie Baker and Christopher Shaw, has relocated its home base to St. Petersburg in the Tampa Bay area. The company arrives with a newly launched AI visibility services offering, built for established, expert-led businesses that want to be found, verified, and recommended when buyers ask AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Grok who they should hire.
Probably Genius is a done-for-you operator, not a self-serve tool. The company maps a business’s real expertise, structures it so AI systems can verify it, and builds the public record that makes the business recommendable — humans do the work at every step. From its new Tampa Bay home, the company serves expert-led businesses locally, continues to work with its Austin, Texas clients, and operates nationally across the United States.
The move places the company inside one of the country’s fastest-growing tech corridors — anchored by the ARK Innovation Center and the St. Petersburg Innovation District — and in a market dense with the established, expert-led businesses it exists to serve.
The destination was also chosen the way the company believes decisions now get made: by asking an AI. When the founders went looking for a new home city, they fed an AI assistant everything that mattered to them — business opportunity, the way they like to work, life near the water — and gave it free rein across the whole country. St. Petersburg came back the first pick. They ran the same question past a second AI. Same answer. The humans agreed.
Engagements begin with the 109-Point AI Visibility Diagnostic, also called the Recommendation Check: a hand-scored assessment across eight zones, from identity and trust signals to how readily a business’s answers can be extracted and reused by AI systems. The company also runs a recommend-test panel that asks five AI engines the questions real buyers ask and scores what comes back. The Recommendation Check is offered at no cost as the starting point for any engagement, and the full offering is live at probablygenius.com/ai-visibility-services/.
“We tell clients to build authority where the ground is open instead of shouting in a crowded room, and we took our own advice,” said Jacquie Baker, technical co-founder and CEO of Probably Genius. “Austin is full of AI companies and a lot of noise that looks like momentum. Tampa Bay has real business liquidity, a fast-growing tech scene, and a harbor full of world-class expert businesses that almost nobody is making sure AI can verify. That is exactly where we should be — and being able to see the water doesn’t hurt.”
“You’re probably a genius at what you do,” Baker added. “Our job is to make sure AI gets the memo — and now we do it from St. Pete.”
Baker and Shaw bring more than 40 combined years of translating expertise for the audiences and systems that decide who gets chosen. Their position is that AI visibility is a matter of readiness: a business cannot control what an AI assistant says, but it can control whether its expertise is structured, verifiable, and on the record when the question is asked.
