N°01 Search has changed
Customers now ask AI. Is it recommending you?
More and more people ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI Overviews for a recommendation, and get one answer, not ten blue links. If that answer isn’t you, it’s a competitor.
Page two is a ghost town
Almost nobody scrolls past the first results on Google or Maps.
Thin signals get skipped
Few reviews, sparse pages and messy listings make AI tools overlook you.
Reports, not results
Long contracts and jargon-filled reports that never turn into enquiries.

SEO & AEO FAQs.
Still wondering? Ask Nova, our AI assistant (bottom right), or get a free audit.
What’s the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO (search engine optimisation) helps you rank in Google and Maps results. AEO (answer engine optimisation) helps AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews understand, trust and recommend your business. They share foundations, so we plan them together.
How long does SEO take to work?
Quick wins such as Google Business Profile fixes, technical issues and schema often show within weeks. Content and authority keep compounding over the following months, which is where the biggest gains come from.
Can you guarantee a #1 ranking?
No honest agency can guarantee rankings, because Google and AI tools decide. What we guarantee is the work, transparency and plain-English reporting on the results that matter: enquiries and calls.
How do you get a business recommended by ChatGPT?
AI assistants recommend businesses they can clearly understand and trust. We make your services, locations and expertise easy to read with answer-first content and structured data, strengthen your reviews and listings, and earn mentions on trusted sites.
Do you do local SEO and Google Business Profile?
Yes. Local SEO is at the heart of what we do: Google Business Profile optimisation, reviews, local citations, service and area pages, and Maps rankings.
Is your content written by AI?
It’s AI-assisted and human-led. AI speeds up research and drafts; our specialists edit, fact-check and add real expertise, following Google’s guidance on helpful content.
How much does SEO & AEO cost?
You get a fixed monthly price after your free audit. Because we’re AI-first, it’s a fraction of a typical agency retainer, with no long contract.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No. Plans are monthly and you can cancel anytime. We keep you because of results, not paperwork.
How do you report results?
A clear monthly report showing enquiries, calls, rankings, Google Business Profile activity and where you appear in AI answers, plus what we’re doing next.
Do you work with businesses outside London?
Yes. We work with businesses across the UK and can target any town, city or region you serve.
