The Local Growth Engine — AI Visibility

Is Your Business Invisible to AI?

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity are now where customers discover local businesses.

AI referral traffic has grown 778% year-over-year and converts at 23x the rate of traditional organic search. Yet 60% of searches now result in zero clicks to traditional results. The question isn't whether AI search matters — it's whether your business is being cited.

The Search Paradigm Has Shifted. Has Your Strategy?

We've moved from the click economy to the citation economy. Being ranked on Google is no longer enough — you need to be cited by AI.

The Old World (Click Economy)

  • Rank on Page 1 of Google → get clicks → generate leads
  • Success measured by keyword rankings and organic traffic
  • Content optimised for search crawlers
  • Volume of content = competitive advantage

The New World (Citation Economy)

  • Be cited in AI-generated answers → earn trust before the click
  • Success measured by Share of Model — how often AI cites you
  • Content optimised for machine legibility — structured for LLM extraction
  • Knowledge depth + authority = competitive advantage (748% ROI)

What's Included

Your AI Visibility Audit & Optimisation

A comprehensive assessment of how your business appears in AI-generated answers — and a clear action plan to get cited.

Share of Model Measurement

We query ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity with your target search terms and measure how often your brand is cited vs competitors. This becomes your AI visibility baseline.

Machine-Legibility Audit

We analyse your site's structured data, entity definitions, heading hierarchies, and content architecture to determine how easily AI systems can extract and cite your information.

Answer-First Content Strategy

Re-engineer your key pages with concise definitions at the top, clear H1-H3 hierarchies, and "definitive answer" formats that AI systems prefer to cite. 90% of ChatGPT-cited pages rank position 21+.

Schema & Structured Data

Implement JSON-LD semantic schema, FAQ markup, entity typing, and organisation data that gives AI systems clean, structured information to work with.

llms.txt Optimisation

Create and optimise your llms.txt file — a structured document that tells AI systems exactly what your business does, who you serve, and what makes you authoritative. The AI equivalent of robots.txt.

Monthly AI Citation Tracking

Ongoing monitoring of your Share of Model across AI platforms. Track improvements, identify new opportunities, and stay ahead as the AI search landscape evolves.

Who Needs an AI Visibility Audit?

This service is for businesses that understand the ground is shifting. You've invested in traditional SEO and it's working — but you're seeing zero-click searches increase, AI Overviews appearing for your target keywords, and competitors being cited in places you didn't know existed.

You need this audit if:

  • You want to know exactly where your business stands in the AI citation landscape — before your competitors figure it out.
  • You've noticed declining organic CTR despite stable rankings — AI Overviews are absorbing your clicks.
  • You want first-mover advantage in GEO — most agencies in Buckinghamshire don't even know what this is yet.
  • You're investing in content and SEO but want to future-proof your strategy for the citation economy.

This is a genuine first-mover opportunity. The businesses that optimise for AI citation now will compound their advantage over the next 2-3 years. Those that wait will be playing catch-up.

AI Visibility & GEO FAQs

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of optimising your website content so that AI systems — like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity — cite your business in their generated answers. It's the evolution of traditional SEO for the AI era. While SEO focuses on ranking in search results, GEO focuses on being cited and recommended by AI. Research shows that 90% of pages cited by ChatGPT rank position 21+ in traditional search — meaning GEO success requires different techniques than traditional SEO.
What is "Share of Model" and why should I care?
Share of Model measures how often your brand is cited by AI systems when users ask questions related to your industry and location. It's the AI equivalent of market share. If a potential customer asks ChatGPT "Who is the best web designer in Buckinghamshire?" and your business isn't mentioned, you have zero Share of Model for that query. AI referral traffic has grown 778% year-over-year and converts at 23x the rate of traditional organic search.
Does my local business really need to worry about AI search?
Yes. AI-powered search is no longer a future trend — it's happening now. Google AI Overviews appear in an increasing percentage of searches, causing a 61% CTR decline for traditional results when they appear. ChatGPT now sources local business data via Foursquare. Perplexity is gaining significant market share. Businesses that optimise for AI citation now will have a compounding first-mover advantage.
What does a GEO audit include?
Our GEO audit measures your current Share of Model across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity for your target queries. We then analyse your content's machine-legibility — structured data, entity definitions, answer-first architecture, and topical authority depth. The output is a prioritised action plan showing exactly what to change so AI systems start citing your business.
