When AI is asked to recommend a business like yours, it should say your name.

AI search visibility is how often, and how favourably, your business is named inside AI-generated answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. Classic SEO competes for a place in a ranked list of links; AI search visibility competes to be the recommendation inside a single written answer. It's earned through clear entity data, structured markup, content written in a directly quotable form, and third-party mentions the model already trusts.

SEO earns rankings in a list of blue links. AEO earns the direct answer slot — featured snippets, People Also Ask, voice results. GEO earns a mention or citation inside a generated AI answer.

They share foundations like technical health and authority, but GEO adds entity consistency, passage-level citability and off-site brand mentions that language models draw on. We run all three as one programme rather than three separate retainers, because splitting them wastes budget on duplicated work.

Buyers increasingly ask an AI assistant for a shortlist before they ever open a results page — “best emergency plumber in Leeds”, “reliable dental clinic near Manchester city centre”. The AI returns two or three names. If yours isn't one of them, you're not in the consideration set at all, however good your website is. AI answers compress the shortlist, so being absent now costs far more than a low ranking used to.

Technical and entity fixes — structured data, business-profile consistency, citable content formatting — can start showing up in AI answers within roughly 4 to 8 weeks, because AI systems re-crawl and re-index frequently. Authority-led gains from digital PR and brand mentions typically compound over 3 to 6 months. Timelines vary by niche competitiveness and starting point, and we set expectations against your actual baseline audit rather than a generic promise.

Yes — across the whole UK, including Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Bristol, Liverpool, Sheffield and Cardiff, plus multi-location and nationwide service businesses. Everything is delivered remotely with scheduled review calls, so your location doesn't limit the work.

Three things:

• AI answer engines are the primary target, not an afterthought bolted onto an SEO retainer.
• Delivery is automation-assisted. Our AI workflows handle monitoring, entity auditing and content structuring at a scale manual teams can't match, so strategists spend their time on judgement.
• Reporting shows AI answer share of voice — which prompts mention you, which mention a competitor — alongside the familiar rankings, traffic and enquiry numbers.

We test a set of real buying prompts for your niche and location across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity, record whether you or your competitors get named, and audit the entity, structured-data and content-format gaps causing the difference. You get a written report plus a walkthrough call. It's genuinely free, specific to your business, and there's no obligation to buy anything.

Engagements run rolling monthly after an initial 90-day foundation period — that period exists because entity and authority work genuinely needs that long to show measurable movement. Beyond it there's no long lock-in, and you own every asset we build: content, markup, profiles and documentation.

Yes. Google and Meta ads, social media management, and web design and development are all delivered in-house. Most clients start with AI visibility and SEO, then consolidate the rest with us once they've seen the reporting — but you can bundle from day one if you'd prefer a single accountable partner.
