"Who's a good plumber near me?" People now ask AI, not just Google.
Millions of people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI for local recommendations every day. When someone asks about your trade in your town, your business needs to be the answer. We make sure it is.
AI assistants don't guess. They read.
When an AI recommends a local business, it pulls from what it can find and understand: your website, your Google Business Profile, your reviews, directories, and how clearly it all says who you are, what you do and where you work. Businesses with messy or missing information simply never get mentioned.
Structured data
Schema markup on every page tells AI systems your services, prices, area and opening hours in a language they read natively.
Consistent facts everywhere
Same name, address, phone and services across your site, Google profile and directories, so AI trusts what it finds.
Content AI can cite
Clear plain-English pages that answer the questions customers actually ask: the exact material AI assistants quote from.
One visibility engine: Google + map pack + AI.
The good news: the work that gets you recommended by AI is the same work that gets you into Google's map pack. We build it once and you get found everywhere.
- Local business schema markup across your entire website
- Google Business Profile tuned so AI systems (and Google) trust it
- Service and location pages written to answer real customer questions
- Review strategy, because AI assistants weight reputation heavily
- Listings cleaned up so every source tells the same story
Every £200 website we build includes this foundation as standard. Already have a site? We can retrofit it.
Asked and answered
How long before ChatGPT or Gemini start recommending my business?
It takes time, usually a few months, not days. AI assistants pull from your website, your Google Business Profile and your reviews, and it takes a while for that information to be indexed, trusted and then actually surfaced in an answer. Anyone claiming instant results is not being honest with you.
Do I still need a Google Business Profile for AI search?
Yes, if anything it matters even more. AI assistants lean heavily on Google Business Profile data (category, reviews, description, photos) as one of their main sources of truth about local businesses. Without one, or with a thin one, you are far less likely to be mentioned at all.
Do reviews actually affect what AI assistants recommend?
Yes. AI assistants weigh reputation heavily, so more reviews (and more recent ones) signal a real, trusted business worth recommending. Asking every happy customer for a review is one of the most useful things you can do, for AI visibility and the map pack both.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No. Nobody can guarantee what an AI model says, and we would not trust anyone who claims otherwise. What we can guarantee is that we structure your site, profile and listings the way these systems actually read, which gives you a real chance where a messy or missing online presence gives you none.
Is this different from normal local SEO?
Mostly it is the same foundation done properly: schema markup, a strong Google Business Profile, consistent details everywhere and genuine reviews. AI search visibility and the map pack are built from the same groundwork, so the work we do serves both at once.
