BECOME THE BUSINESS
AI SEARCH RECOMMENDS.
Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity who to hire. Those answers name a handful of businesses and skip everyone else. We do the work that puts you on that shortlist, and the local SEO that still wins the phone call.
Proof, not theory
WE TESTED THIS ON OURSELVES FIRST.
Before selling AI visibility to anyone, we did the work on our own studio and then checked whether it moved. It did.
The same method is what we run for clients: make the facts clear, structure them so machines can read them, earn proof outside your own website, then measure the same questions every month.
ChatGPT put us first of five.
"I run a small trades business in Sydney and need a logo, a new website and someone to run my Google Ads. Recommend 5 specific small studios or freelancers in Australia."
- Sumit Brands
- Four other Australian studios
Asked with web search on, 22 October 2026, with our brand name never mentioned in the question. A second run asking for affordable logo and brand identity studios in Australia put us first again. We cannot promise the same result for every business, and anybody who does is guessing. We can show you the method that got us there.
What changed
SEARCH IS TURNING INTO A SHORTLIST.
For twenty years the job was to rank a page. Now a growing share of people never see the ten blue links. They describe a situation, and an assistant hands back three to five names with a short reason for each.
That changes what matters. An assistant cannot quote a slogan or a stock photo. It quotes specifics: what you do, who you do it for, where you work, what is included, and what other people say about you. AI visibility is the unglamorous work of making those facts clear, structured and corroborated somewhere other than your own website.
It does not replace search engine optimisation. The same foundations feed both, which is why we do them together rather than selling AI visibility as a separate miracle.
WHAT THE WORK INVOLVES.
Six parts, run together. Skipping the last two is why most AI visibility work goes nowhere.
AI visibility baseline
A fixed set of buyer questions run across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, with a written record of where you appear today and who is being recommended instead.
Entity and schema work
Organisation, service, location and FAQ structured data so machines can state what you do, where you work and what you charge for, without guessing.
Pages built to be quoted
Clear, factual service pages with real detail, plain answers and FAQs. Assistants quote specifics, not slogans.
Local SEO foundations
Google Business Profile set up properly, consistent business details across the web, location pages and the local signals that still decide who gets the call.
Third-party proof
Reviews and credible listings, because assistants hedge on businesses that only talk about themselves. This is the step most people skip.
Monthly measurement
The same questions re-run each month in plain English reporting, so you can see whether you are being named more often, not just whether traffic moved.
WHO THIS IS FOR.
Businesses that already deliver, and are not being named when it counts.
Established service businesses
You already deliver well and have happy clients. The gap is that an assistant cannot find enough solid, checkable information to put your name forward.
Local businesses with competitors
Several firms in your suburb do the same thing. Being the one the assistant names, and the one the map pack shows, is the whole difference.
Businesses losing search traffic
Clicks have slipped while rankings held. That is often AI answers absorbing the question before anybody reaches your page.
Local SEO
THE SAME WORK WINS THE LOCAL SEARCH.
Verified profile, consistent details, real reviews, pages that name the suburbs you serve.
Assistants and map results read many of the same signals. A Google Business Profile that is verified, complete and consistent with your website tells both systems the same story. Scattered phone numbers, a half-finished profile and no reviews tell them you might not still be trading.
So the local work is not a separate line item. It is the foundation that makes you findable in maps, in search and in the answer an assistant gives, and it is usually the fastest thing to fix.
Need the groundwork first? Start with web design or the SEO service, and we will sequence it sensibly.
HOW IT RUNS.
Four stages, with a written baseline so progress is measurable rather than claimed.
-
Baseline
We ask the assistants what your customers ask, record the answers, and audit the site, schema and profile behind them. You get the starting position in writing.
-
Fix the foundations
Structured data, page content, business profile and the consistency of your details across the web. This is the part that makes you quotable.
-
Build the proof
Reviews, listings and content that other people can cite. Assistants trust corroboration more than claims, and so do customers.
-
Measure and repeat
The same question set every month, reported in plain English, with next month's priorities attached.
Straight answer
WHAT NOBODY CAN PROMISE.
Nobody can guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend you, and there is no placement to buy inside the answer. The assistants change, the sources they trust change, and results differ by industry and by how much third-party proof exists about you.
What is reliable is the method. Make the facts clear, structure them so machines can read them, earn proof outside your own site, then measure the same questions every month.
If a quote promises a guaranteed position in AI answers, ask them to put the measurement method in writing. Then ask us.
AI VISIBILITY FAQ.
The questions we get asked before this work starts.
What is AI visibility, and how is it different from SEO?
SEO gets your pages ranked in a list of links. AI visibility, also called answer engine optimisation or AEO, is about being named inside the answer when someone asks ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity for a recommendation. The work overlaps, but AEO leans harder on clear factual pages, structured data and third-party proof, because that is what an assistant can quote.
Can anyone guarantee that AI search will recommend my business?
No, and be careful with anyone who says otherwise. There is no placement to buy inside the answer. What you can do is make your business easy to understand, easy to verify and easy to quote, then measure whether the assistants start naming you. That is the honest version of this work.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We run a fixed set of buyer questions across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity, record whether you are named, in what position and which sources get cited, then repeat it monthly. The questions stay the same, so progress is comparable rather than anecdotal.
Do I still need local SEO and a Google Business Profile?
Yes. Assistants lean on the same signals that drive local search: a verified Google Business Profile, consistent business details, reviews and pages that say plainly where you work. Local SEO and AI visibility are the same foundations doing two jobs.
How long before anything changes?
Technical and profile fixes can show up quickly. Being named consistently in AI answers takes longer, because it depends on third-party sources and reviews catching up. You get a written baseline at the start so you can see movement rather than guess at it.
What do you need from me to start?
Access to your website and Google Business Profile, a short list of the questions your customers actually ask, and the names of a few happy clients who would leave a review. That is enough for a first baseline.
