Getting found, in Google and in AI answers

Search stopped being ten blue links. A growing share of questions get answered before anybody clicks anything, and being invisible there is a new way to lose.

For a local business the highest-value search result is not your homepage. It's your Google Business Profile: the map listing with your hours, photos and reviews. It's free, most businesses have never properly filled it in, and it's the first thing we fix.

After that comes the site itself. Can Google read it. Does it load on a phone on a patchy connection. Does it answer the questions people actually type. And increasingly, whether an AI can quote it. When someone asks ChatGPT for a restaurant in Sea Point, something gets recommended. We work on that being you.

SEO is slow. Anyone promising page one in a month is selling you something. What we can promise is that the fundamentals get done and that you can see the difference in enquiries, not just in ranking screenshots.

What we work on

Google Business Profile

Categories, services, hours, photos and weekly posts. It carries a lot of weight in local visibility and is the most commonly neglected.

Reviews

Automated requests to every customer, and replies to the ones you get. Volume and recency both count in local search.

Technical fixes

Speed, mobile, crawlability, structured data. The unglamorous half, and the half that stops everything else working.

Local landing pages

A real page for each area you serve, with content specific to it rather than the same page with the suburb swapped.

AI search optimisation

Structuring answers so AI Overviews and ChatGPT can quote you. Clear questions, direct answers, verifiable facts.

Content that answers questions

The things customers actually ask, written properly, linked to the pages that sell.

How we work

  1. Audit

    Where you rank now, what's broken, and which fixes are worth doing first. You get the list whether or not you hire us.

  2. Fix the foundations

    Profile, reviews, technical issues, tracking. Usually the first six weeks, and usually where the first movement comes from.

  3. Build and measure

    Content and local pages, monthly, with reporting against enquiries rather than ranking alone.

Common questions

How long before I see anything?

Google Business Profile changes can move within weeks. Site and content work generally takes three to six months to show clearly, and longer in a competitive city. Anyone giving you a shorter number is guessing.

What is AI search optimisation?

Structuring your content so AI systems can extract and cite it: clear questions with direct answers, facts stated plainly, proper markup. It overlaps heavily with good SEO, which is why we don't sell it separately.

Do you guarantee rankings?

No. Nobody can, and a guarantee is a reliable sign the person offering it is either buying links or measuring something meaningless. We report on enquiries.

Can you fix a site somebody else built?

Usually. WordPress, Shopify, Wix and Squarespace are all workable. Occasionally a site is built in a way that makes SEO uneconomic to retrofit, and we'll tell you if rebuilding is cheaper than fixing.
