People don't just scroll a list anymore
A fast-growing share of people now ask an AI to recommend a local business, or read Google's AI answer at the top of the results, instead of working down ten blue links. When that happens, you're either on the short list the AI reads out, or you're invisible.
The good news is you don't need a separate AI strategy. The signals these tools lean on are the same ones that win Google Maps and local search. Get them right and you show up in both.
What AI reads before it recommends you
AI recommends the businesses that look trustworthy, consistent and clear. We build all of it as an ongoing system.
Reviews AI can read
AI leans on what your customers actually write, not just your star rating. We build a steady flow of detailed, genuine reviews and reply to every one, so AI reads you as the trusted choice.
Details that match everywhere
Conflicting names, addresses and hours make AI hesitate. We keep your information identical across Google, directories, Apple Maps and the wider web so the models are confident naming you.
Structured data it understands
We mark up your business with schema so Google's AI and the answer engines can clearly understand what you offer and where, and surface you when locals ask.
Clear answers to real questions
AI answers questions rather than listing links, so we structure your content as clear answers: what you do, where you do it, and why you're the right pick.
AI visibility rides on the same foundations as Google Maps ranking and a well-run Google Business Profile, which is why we run them together.

AI SEO, answered
AI SEO is the work of making your business show up and get recommended in AI-powered search: Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. It's closely tied to Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), which is about being the trusted, cited answer rather than one link in a list.
Traditional SEO is about ranking a page in the list of results. AEO, or Answer Engine Optimisation, is about being the answer an AI gives back. The two overlap heavily: the reviews, structured data and consistent details that win local search are the same signals AI leans on to recommend a business.
Those tools lean on your Google Business Profile, your reviews and the structured data about your business, plus how consistent your information is across the web. We strengthen all of it, so when someone asks an AI for the best option near them, your business is on the short list.
No, it builds on them. The same foundations that win Google Maps and local search (a complete profile, genuine reviews, consistent details) are what make AI confident recommending you. We treat AI visibility as part of the same job, not a separate bolt-on.
It depends on how competitive your area is, how many locations you have and the scope of work. Foundly starts at £295 a month per location, with no contract. We start with a free visibility audit, show you where you stand, then recommend the right level of support.
It depends on your competition and starting point. This is a steady build rather than an overnight switch, usually measured in weeks and months, not days. Google rewards consistency, so we run it continuously and show you progress on a monthly report.
A lot of local businesses have. You're not tied into a long contract, the reporting is plain English, and every month you can see your ranking move. If it isn't working, you'll see that too, and you can leave. We start with a free audit so you can judge us before spending anything.
Yes, always. You stay the owner and we work as a manager on the account. If you ever leave, everything stays with you: the profile, the reviews, the photos and the rankings.
Not much. About 20 minutes at the start, manager access to your Google Business Profile, a bit about your services and best customers, and photos when you have them. After that we run it, and you approve what you want to.
