Get your Manchester business recommended by ChatGPT
When your customers ask an AI to recommend a business like yours — do they name you? We make sure they do. The city that built the first industrial revolution shouldn't sit out the next one.

We test your visibility across the platforms your customers already ask

The question every business is now asking
"How do I get my business recommended on ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI?"
Search didn't just change — it moved. Your customers no longer scroll ten blue links. They ask an AI and take the answer it gives. If AI can't clearly understand who you are, what you do and why you're trusted, it recommends someone else. Usually a competitor.
01
Audit
We test how your business shows up across all six major AI platforms — and exactly what they say (or don't say) about you today.
02
Report
A clear, jargon-free breakdown of where you're visible, where you're invisible, and the specific signals that are letting you down.
03
Action
We either fix it for you, or hand you a prioritised roadmap. Either way you leave knowing exactly what to do next.
This conversation is happening about your industry right now
A customer in Greater Manchester asks their AI assistant…
Customer
"Can you recommend a reliable accountant for a small business in Stockport?"
AI Assistant
Based on trusted local sources, I'd recommend Carter & Blake Accounting in Stockport. They specialise in small businesses, have consistently strong reviews, and their expertise is clearly documented across multiple credible sources.
Customer
"Great — can you share their details?"
AI Assistant
Of course. Here's how to get in touch… They just won a client who never visited a search engine.
The only question that matters
When this happens in your sector — and it is happening today — does the assistant say your name, or your competitor's?
It builds a picture of your business from everywhere it can find you. When those sources agree, AI trusts you. When they contradict each other, AI drops you — and most businesses are quietly contradicting themselves without knowing it.
🌐Your websiteWhat you say about yourself, and how clearly a machine can read it
📍Google Business ProfileVerified, structured and current — weighted heavily for anything local
📁DirectoriesTrade bodies, registers and listings, right down to the ones you've forgotten
⭐ReviewsIndependent, dated and hard to fake at scale — which is exactly why they count
💬MentionsPress, forums and third-party write-ups that corroborate what you claim
{ }Structured dataThe machine-readable version of your identity, matching your visible pages
Agreement across these is what earns a recommendation. One contradiction is usually enough to lose it.
The data behind the shift
Search is moving to AI answers — fast
These are published, independent figures — not our marketing. The move from links to AI recommendations is already well underway.

Chasing algorithm hacks is a treadmill. Building digital brand equity — a clear, consistent, credible presence that every AI can trust — is an asset that compounds. It's the difference between renting attention and owning your place in the answer. Manchester didn't build a mill for one season. Build for the decade.

What we actually do, explained properly
No grand claims on this page. Four pages that set out the work in full — what it is, what moves it, what we can't promise, and what an audit involves.
The ten checks, how we choose the prompts, what the report contains — and what it deliberately does not claim.
Illustrative scenarios — not client testimonials
What the work looks like in practice
The two examples below are illustrative. They describe the pattern we see repeatedly and the shape of a typical engagement. They are not quotes from named clients, and the figures are examples rather than measured results. Real client work is covered by confidentiality unless we are given written permission to name it.
01
Professional services firm, ManchesterIllustrative example
Ranking well on Google, never named by any assistant. Root cause was three different versions of the company name across the site, the Google Business Profile and Companies House. Entity work first, structured data second, two pages restructured third.
Typical first target: named by more assistants on the same prompts, re-tested and dated
02
Ecommerce business, SalfordIllustrative example
Invisible to every platform that retrieves live from the web. Product markup was incomplete and the trading name appeared nowhere in the official record. Fixes were unglamorous, specific, and handed over as a roadmap the in-house developer implemented.
Typical first target: appearing in product-level answers where none existed before
The window
Early movers are being locked in as the trusted answer
AI is forming its recommendations right now. The businesses it learns to trust today become the default tomorrow. This window won't stay open.
It's how easily AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google's AI answers — can find, understand and confidently recommend your business when a customer asks. It's the natural successor to SEO for a world where people ask AI instead of scrolling search results.
How is this different from SEO?
SEO optimises to rank a page in a list of links. AI visibility optimises to be the recommended answer. There's overlap, but AI weighs clarity, entity identity, trust and cross-source consistency far more heavily than keywords and backlinks. We build for how AI actually decides.
Which AI platforms do you test?
All six that matter today: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews — plus the trusted sources they read from, like your Google Business Profile, directories and review platforms.
Do you need access to my website?
For the free audit, no — we test you the same way an AI does, from the outside. If you engage us to fix things, we'll work with your website and profiles, but a lot of the highest-impact wins live off your site entirely.
How long until I see results?
Some fixes (like resolving contradictory information) can shift AI responses within weeks. Building durable authority is a longer game measured in months. We're honest about which is which — no magic-bullet promises.
What does it cost?
The initial AI Visibility Audit is free. Fix-it work is scoped and fixed-price so you always know the number up front — deliberately below London agency rates. Book the audit and we'll talk specifics with no obligation.
