Get your business found and recommended by AI assistants

AI assistants now recommend specific businesses to buyers; generative engine optimisation (GEO) makes sure yours is the one they name.

AI visibility is whether AI recommends your business

AI visibility is how often, and how favourably, AI assistants mention your business when a buyer asks for a recommendation. It is the new shelf position: when someone asks ChatGPT, Google Gemini or Perplexity "who should I use?", one business gets named, and AI visibility decides whether it is yours. Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the practice that earns it.

This matters now because buyers have changed how they decide. AI assistants answer with a single recommendation instead of a page of links, so the business AI names often wins the customer before competitors are even seen. That makes AI visibility a lead generation channel in its own right: the recommendation reaches the buyer at the exact moment they choose who to contact.

Buyers now ask AI instead of scrolling search results

The buying journey has collapsed into a single question. Rather than searching, opening five tabs and comparing, people ask an assistant "who's the best near me?" and act on the answer. That is a zero-click decision: no results page, no comparison shopping, just a recommendation the buyer trusts.

For your business, the implication is stark. Ranking on page one still matters, but if AI names a competitor in its answer, the buyer may never reach a search result at all. Being the recommendation is the new front page.

AI recommends businesses it can identify and trust

AI decides who to name by drawing on three things: its training data, live retrieval from the web, and the citations that corroborate a business. It then names the businesses with a clear entity, consistent details and credible third-party mentions. How AI recommends businesses explains the mechanism in full.

The businesses AI recommends are the ones it can read without ambiguity. A confused or contradicted entity is the most common reason a good business is left out, which is why so many businesses are invisible in AI despite doing everything else right.

Buyers use ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity to choose

No single engine owns the buyer. Your customers ask ChatGPT, Google Gemini and AI Overviews, and Perplexity, with Microsoft Copilot and others growing fast. Each sources answers differently, so real AI visibility means being recommended across all of them.

Generative engine optimisation makes AI name you

GEO is the work that turns your business into the answer. We run an AI visibility audit, then fix your entity, earn citations, and publish content the models can quote, the same levers, tuned to your business.

It is not a one-off. Engines change, competitors move, and answers shift, so we monitor your visibility and keep you the recommended name over time, or hand you the whole thing done-for-you.

We help trades, professional services and local businesses

From roofers to solicitors, dentists and beyond, we make AI recommend businesses across the UK. The GEO foundations are consistent; the buyer prompts and trust signals are tuned to each industry.

Frequently asked questions

Does ChatGPT recommend local businesses? +
Yes. When asked for a local provider, ChatGPT and other assistants name specific businesses, favouring those with consistent details, strong reviews and clear citations.
How long does GEO take? +
Most businesses see movement in AI mentions within weeks to a few months, depending on their starting point and market.
Is this different from SEO? +
Yes, though they complement each other. SEO earns rankings on a results page; GEO earns a mention inside the AI's answer. See GEO vs SEO for the comparison.
