2nd Brick Studio suddenly received 100 custom LEGO set order requests. After asking around, the owner realized ChatGPT was recommending the studio as the top pick for "custom AI LEGO set builder" — listing its photo-to-3D-model workflow and $25/month Studio Pro pricing.
A concrete GEO/AEO case: a single ChatGPT recommendation now directly drives real conversions, making AI-assistant visibility a genuine acquisition channel for niche custom services.
