01 · Competitive intelligence
See who is winning, and why
We identify which businesses are recommended for the customer questions worth most to you, and investigate the evidence behind those recommendations.
Managed AI search optimisation
Your competitors are being recommended. Make sure your business is considered.
We identify where your competitors have stronger AI search visibility, uncover the information and authority gaps holding your business back, and implement ongoing improvements to strengthen your position.
A customer asks
Can you recommend an accountant in Leeds who understands construction firms?
AI recommends
- Practice A
- Practice B
- Your business: not considered
Why they were chosen
- Practice AA construction sector page naming CIS and the VAT reverse charge
- Practice AListed for construction in a professional body directory
- Practice B38 Google reviews that mention subcontractors and CIS
The gap holding you back
Your website says “small business accounts” and never states that you act for construction firms, so nothing connects you to the question.
AI recommends the businesses it understands best.
Customers no longer type “accountant Leeds”. They ask “which accountant in Leeds understands construction firms?” and get two or three names back. The businesses named are the ones whose expertise AI can find, understand and confirm.
02 · Information retrieval optimisation
Make your expertise unmistakable
We structure and improve the information that establishes your expertise, services, applications and authority, so AI systems can retrieve it, understand it and trust it.
03 · Continuous improvement
Keep strengthening your position
We monitor changes, implement prioritised improvements every month, and show you the work completed and what has changed as a result.
Our method
Built on information retrieval, not guesswork.
AI assistants retrieve and compare information about businesses before they recommend one. We build yours around what they match against.
- Entities
- Your business, your people, your locations and the bodies that vouch for you.
- Services
- Each one stated clearly, with its scope and who delivers it.
- Problems
- The situations customers are in when they ask.
- Applications
- Who and what each service is for.
- Decision conditions
- What customers weigh up: experience, accreditation, timescale, cost.
- Supporting authority
- Reviews, memberships, directories and third-party mentions that confirm it.
Implementation is the work
Most of the value is in what we change, not what we measure. Typical work includes:
- Service and problem pages built around how customers ask
- Structured data that defines your business, services and locations
- Consistent business facts across the profiles and directories AI checks
- Accreditations, case studies and reviews made explicit and connected
- Competitor movements watched, and answered
The exact scope is set in your proposal, matched to your market.
Progress you can check.
No artificial visibility score. Each month you see real answers, repeated observations, how you compare with named competitors, the work completed, and the enquiries AI search brought in where they can be attributed.

Questions
How is this different from an AI visibility tool?
A tool tells you whether you were mentioned. We find out why your competitors are recommended instead, then change the information that decides it: how your services, expertise, applications and authority are stated and confirmed. Monitoring supports that work; it is not the product.
How is this different from SEO?
SEO competes for a place in a list of links. AI assistants compare what they can find and trust about each business, then recommend a few. We apply information retrieval methods so your expertise is easy to retrieve, understand and confirm.
How do you report progress?
With evidence you can check: examples of real answers, repeated observations over time, comparisons with named competitors, the work completed, and enquiries that came through AI search where they can be attributed. We do not reduce it to an artificial visibility score.
Can you guarantee we will be recommended?
No. Nobody controls what an AI assistant says, and anyone who promises otherwise is not being straight with you. We show you where you stand, change what decides it, and report what has changed.
How is the price set?
Monthly management from and implementation from are starting prices. Yours depends on the number and complexity of your services, the areas you cover, how competitive your market is and how much your current information needs. It is set after your consultation and confirmed in a written proposal.
Do you work alongside our current SEO agency?
We prefer not to. We work directly with businesses, and splitting the same work between two agencies blurs who is responsible for it. If you have an agency, we will talk through the handover in your consultation.
What happens after I apply?
We review your business and your competitors and prepare a tailored mini-report. We talk it through in a consultation. If we can help, you receive a proposal with the scope and the price.
