A growing share of your customers never see ten blue links. They ask ChatGPT for 'a good plumber in Penrith' or read Google's AI Overview and stop there. AI SEO is the work of becoming the source those systems quote. That means answers written in extractable form — a direct response in the first two sentences, then the detail. It means entity clarity, so the machine knows exactly which business you are, where you operate and what you do. And it means being cited on the third-party pages assistants lean on: directories, reviews, trade bodies and local press. We track how often you appear across four assistants for the prompts your buyers actually use, and report the change month on month.
What's included
- AI visibility baseline across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews
- Prompt set built from real buyer questions in your towns and sector
- Answer-first content restructuring for machine extraction
- Entity and knowledge-graph clean-up (schema, sameAs, consistent NAP)
- llms.txt and crawler access configuration for AI user agents
- Citation seeding on the sources assistants quote most
- Review-signal strategy — volume, recency and topic coverage
- Monthly AI mention and citation-share reporting
Why Cumbrian businesses are invisible to AI right now
- Assistants lean heavily on aggregators and directories; if your listings are thin or wrong, you are simply not in the answer set.
- Rural queries pull in results from Lancaster, Preston and Glasgow when no clear Cumbrian source exists — an open door for whoever fills the gap first.
- Long, meandering copy without a direct answer near the top rarely gets extracted.
- Almost no local competitor is measuring this yet, so the cost of entry is still low.

Our approach
How we deliver ai seo
Baseline
We run 30–60 real buyer prompts across four assistants and record where you appear, where a competitor does, and where nobody does.
Fix the entity
Schema, NAP, sameAs links and business descriptions get aligned so every system agrees on who and where you are.
Write for extraction
Key pages get rebuilt answer-first, with clear definitions, comparison tables, prices where possible and tight FAQs.
Seed and re-test
We strengthen the third-party sources assistants cite, then re-run the same prompt set to show movement.
Realistic timeline
What this looks like in month 1, 3 and 6

Honest fit
Who this is — and isn't — right for
We'd rather tell you now than three months into a retainer that was never going to work.
A good fit if…
- Your buyers ask assistants for recommendations before they search
- You're happy to publish real prices, coverage and specifics
- You want to be quotable — data, process, honest comparisons
Probably not for you if…
- You want to keep pricing and coverage deliberately vague
- You expect a guaranteed slot in an AI answer — nobody can sell that
- You aren't willing to maintain content as your services change
FAQs
AI SEO: your questions answered
Is AI SEO different from normal SEO?
It overlaps but isn't identical. Classic SEO wins a ranking position; AI SEO wins a citation inside a generated answer. The extra work is answer-first structure, entity clarity and third-party source coverage.
Can you actually measure whether ChatGPT mentions us?
Yes. We run a fixed prompt set on a schedule and log which businesses are named. It's sampled rather than exhaustive, but the trend is reliable and you see the raw responses.
Will appearing in AI Overviews cost me clicks?
Some informational clicks, yes. But being the cited business on a 'best X in Kendal' answer sends far higher-intent traffic than the blog visits you lose.
Should I block AI crawlers instead?
For a local service business, almost never. Blocking them removes you from the answers your competitors will happily fill.
