03Why Get Found

A real team you can talk to, with no long contract.

22 Years getting local businesses found

We were doing local SEO when “near me” was a novelty. We’ve seen every Google update since, and we’re not rattled by AI search either. It rewards the same things we’ve always done well.

No long contracts

We keep clients by getting them results, not by tying them into paperwork.

05Questions

Common questions about local SEO, AI SEO and websites.

Rather just talk?

07811 415534

You’ll speak to someone who actually does the work.

General

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO (you’ll also hear GEO or AEO) is making sure AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews know who you are, trust you, and mention you when someone asks for a recommendation. It builds on good local SEO: consistent business details, genuine reviews, clear content that answers real questions, and a website AI crawlers can actually read.

Is AI search replacing Google?

No. Plenty of people still search Google and Maps, but more of them now ask an AI tool first, especially for “who’s the best…?” questions. The same signals help you in all three places, so you don’t need three separate strategies.

What’s in the free visibility audit?

We check where you appear for the searches that matter to you on Google, on Maps and in the main AI tools, compare you with the local competitors getting those enquiries, and list the fixes we’d make first. It’s yours to keep, whether or not you work with us.

Do you build websites too?

Yes. Web design is one of our three core services, alongside local SEO and AI SEO. We build fast, search-ready websites with SEO and AI search designed in from day one: clean structure, proper schema, pages AI crawlers can read and a clear route to a call or enquiry. You’re looking at one. And if your current site is doing its job, we’ll say so rather than sell you a new one.

How long before I see results?

It depends on your market and where you’re starting from. Some fixes, like sorting out your Google Business Profile or inconsistent business details, can make a difference sooner; competitive searches take longer. Your audit will give you an honest view, not a guarantee we can’t keep.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. We don’t do long contracts. If we’re not earning our keep, you shouldn’t be stuck with us, which is exactly why we work hard to make sure you don’t want to leave.

Do you only work with Worcester and Stockport businesses?

No. We’re based in Worcester, with a second office in Stockport, and we work with businesses right across the UK. Local SEO is about your town and your customers, not where we’re based: we research how people search in your area, who you’re up against in the Maps pack and what AI tools say about your trade there. If you’re nearby, you’re welcome to pop in; everywhere else, we work by phone and video.

What is local SEO?

Local SEO is getting your business found when people nearby search for what you do: in the Google Maps results, in “near me” searches and in the local results below them. It covers your Google Business Profile, genuine reviews, the same business details everywhere, and website pages for your services and the towns you cover. Google says local results are mainly based on relevance, distance and popularity.

How do I get into the top three on Google Maps?

Nobody can buy or request a place: Google says there’s no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. What helps is a verified, complete and accurate Business Profile with the right main category, a steady flow of genuine reviews, matching details across the web, and a website that says clearly what you do and where. Distance from the person searching also plays a part, and you can’t change that.

Do you need access to my Google Business Profile?

Yes, as a manager, not an owner. You stay the owner of your profile and add us as a manager with our own Google account, so you never share a password and can remove us whenever you like. Business Profile itself is free; you pay for our time.

Can you help if I don’t have a shop or office customers visit?

Yes. Trades and mobile businesses can hide their address on Google and list the areas they serve instead, as long as those areas are within about two hours’ drive of where they’re based. We set that up properly, and build pages for the main towns you cover that are genuinely useful, not copy-and-paste pages with the town name swapped.

How does ChatGPT decide which local business to recommend?

For a question like “best electrician in Worcester”, ChatGPT often searches the web, turns the question into something like “top electrician Worcester”, and names the businesses that websites, listings, reviews and “best of” pages back up. So the business it names is usually the one with the most evidence online, and most of that evidence is within your control.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google’s AI will mention my business?

No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. AI answers change with the wording of the question, the person’s location, the tool and the day, and nobody outside those companies controls them. What we can do is strengthen the signals these tools rely on, fix anything holding you back, and show you honestly how often you’re named over time.

Is AI SEO different from normal SEO?

Mostly, no. Google says optimising for its generative AI search is still SEO, and Bing says the same SEO best practices also support eligibility for AI-generated answers. A few checks are newer, such as making sure the crawlers AI tools use can reach your site, and asking the tools what they actually say about you.

How do you know if it’s working?

We agree a set of questions that match how your customers actually ask, always naming the town, run them repeatedly across ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, and record how often you’re named and which sources the answers cite. Because answers vary, we report the trend across many checks, alongside visits from AI tools in your analytics and the calls and enquiries that matter to you.

Will a new website lose my Google rankings?

It can if it’s done carelessly, which is why we plan for it. Before launch we record what your current site ranks for, keep the pages and content that are working, and redirect every old address to its closest new page. After launch we watch Search Console so anything that slips gets caught early. Google says to expect some temporary movement during a move, so be wary of anyone who promises nothing will change.

Who owns the website and domain name?

You do. Your domain name and the website we build for you belong to your business, not to us. If you ever decide to move on, they go with you.

What makes a website bring in more enquiries?

Saying clearly what you do and where in the first lines of the page, a phone number that can be tapped to call on a mobile, short forms with clear labels, one obvious next step on every page, genuine reviews and real contact details, and a site that’s quick on a phone. Then tracking calls and form enquiries from launch, so you can see what’s working.

Do I need a new website, or just some fixes?

Not every tired-looking website needs replacing. Sometimes better page titles, proper service pages, faster loading or clearer calls to action will do more good for less. The free audit shows which it is, and if your current site is doing its job, we’ll tell you rather than sell you a new one.
