AI search visibility for small businesses
More customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews to recommend a business. I improve the information and signals that help search engines and AI platforms understand your business, trust it and show it to people.
Search is becoming a conversation.
- "Who are the best accountants for a small business near Birmingham?"
- "Which local company can help me improve my website?"
- "Is there a good independent physiotherapist in Solihull?"
Instead of typing "accountant Birmingham" and comparing ten websites, people increasingly ask a question and get a single answer, often with only a handful of businesses named in it.
That answer is built from information the AI platform can find and trust: your website, your Google Business Profile, directories, reviews and what others say about you. If that information is unclear, inconsistent or missing, you're less likely to be mentioned.
Traditional SEO still matters a great deal, because many AI tools draw on search results. But clarity, consistency and structure matter more than ever.
What I set up, and what I look after
I set up
- Review of website structure and service descriptions
- Business information and listings consistency
- Structured data (schema) for your business, services and FAQs
- Expertise, author and About content
- FAQs that answer real customer questions
- Test questions across leading AI tools
Each month
- AI and search visibility check
- Business information updates
- New FAQ and content opportunities
- Competitor monitoring
- Findings included in your monthly report
An honest note: no one can guarantee that ChatGPT or any other AI tool will recommend your business. I improve the signals you can influence, which also strengthens your Google visibility.
Four simple steps
Test
I ask leading AI tools the kinds of questions your customers ask, and record whether and how your business appears.
Review
I assess your website, structured data, Business Profile and wider presence against the signals AI platforms rely on.
Fix
I make the priority improvements, or brief your web developer.
Monitor
Each month I re-test, update information and look for new opportunities.
Five things that influence how AI understands your business
Clear business information
Search systems can tell exactly what you do, who you serve and where.
Machine-readable structure
Key information marked up with schema so machines can read it reliably.
Consistent trust signals
Your name, details and reviews match across Google, directories and social profiles.
Useful expertise
Your site shows real knowledge, experience and credentials.
Question-led content
Your pages answer the questions customers actually ask, directly and clearly.
Better Google results too
Almost everything that helps AI search also helps traditional SEO.
AI Search Visibility: common questions
What is AI search visibility?
It's how easily AI-powered platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews can understand, trust and mention your business when people ask for recommendations or information.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No, and nobody honestly can. What I can do is improve the information and signals that AI platforms rely on, so your business is easier to understand and verify.
Is this different from SEO?
It builds on SEO. Most of what helps AI platforms (clear information, structured data, consistent listings and useful content) also helps you rank on Google. That's why it's part of every package rather than a separate project.
How do you measure AI visibility?
I run a consistent set of test questions across leading AI tools each month and record whether and how your business appears, alongside your normal search and Google Business Profile data.
