AI Visibility Audit & Optimisation for Small Businesses

Is Your Website Ready to Be Found by AI Search?

Get a plain-English AI Visibility Audit showing how well tools like Google AI, ChatGPT-style search, Siri, and other answer engines can understand, trust, and recommend your business.

Our audit gives you a score out of 100, a practical PDF report, and clear recommendations to improve your AI visibility.

Tested First on Our Own Business Website

Before offering this service to other small businesses, we tested the process on our own website. The first checks revealed that although the website looked fine to visitors, AI crawlers and search tools were not seeing enough useful information. The early optimiser score was 38/100. The first AI Visibility Audit scored the website at 48/100, rated Needs Work. After implementing the recommended improvements, the follow-up audit showed a score of 89/100, rated Excellent.

Rated: Excellent

This is why the audit matters: it shows what AI-powered search tools can actually read, understand, and trust — not just what a human visitor sees on screen.

Clarity through a disciplined, data‑driven workflow

01

Discovery and goal alignment

I learn your business, audience, and the AI environments you care about. This sets the context for what it means to be understood by AI and how we’ll measure progress.

02

Audit and score

I run crawlability checks, assess content clarity, verify local information signals, and align schema and structured data. I issue a score out of 100 and a plain‑English report that explains what matters and why.

03

Plan and prioritize actions

I translate the audit into an actionable plan. The report becomes a prioritized list of tasks with value links and realistic timelines. This scales from quick wins in Starter Audit to deeper work in Growth and Done For You.

04

Implement, verify, and document

If you opt in, I implement the changes, track uplift against the score, and keep thorough documentation so you can see start and finish. The process stays collaborative, iterative, and transparent.

your website might look fine — but still be hard for ai to understand

many business owners assume that if their website looks good, search engines and ai tools can understand it.

that is not always true.

services are mentioned but not explained clearly

Listing a service without explaining what it includes makes it hard for AI to know what you actually offer.

important customer questions are missing

Common questions customers have (pricing, timelines, guarantees) should be answered on the page.

pages do not have clear headings

Clear headings help AI and people quickly understand the topic of each page.

content is hidden behind scripts or not easily crawlable

If important text isn’t in the HTML (or loads only via script), AI and search engines may miss it.

business name, address, and phone details are inconsistent

Inconsistent contact details make it harder for AI to verify and trust your business information.

faqs are missing or too thin

Good FAQs give direct answers that AI systems can surface in results and recommendations.

structured data is incomplete

Missing or incorrect schema (structured data) means AI can’t easily find key details like services or hours.

review signals are weak or underused

Reviews and ratings help AI assess trust and relevance; not using them limits visibility.

ai tools cannot confidently understand what the business does

If AI can’t identify your core services, it’s unlikely to recommend you to potential customers.

if ai systems cannot clearly understand your business, they are less likely to recommend it.

Pricing

I offer three clear options designed for small businesses with lean budgets and real constraints. Each package is built on verifiable clarity: a score out of 100, a plain-English report, and a prioritized plan that translates complexity into concrete steps. I don’t chase hype—I aim for small, disciplined progress that adds up. Most visitors begin with Starter Audit to establish a baseline and decide how far they want to go.

Frequently asked questions

I built AI Search Optimisation Solutions to help small businesses be understood by AI-powered search tools. This FAQ explains what I do, how the packages work, and what you can expect when you start with a Starter Audit.

01

What is AI Visibility Audit and what does it measure?

It is a diagnostic that scores how well your site’s content and data are read by AI systems on a 0–100 scale. It looks at crawlability, how clearly your content communicates, the presence of FAQs, the accuracy and usefulness of local business information, and the structure AI uses. You receive a plain‑English PDF report and a prioritized action plan to guide improvements.

02

What are the three packages and how do they differ?

Starter Audit (£149): baseline score, plain‑English report, and a prioritized plan for quick wins. Growth Action Plan (£495): deeper analysis with a staged set of improvements moving from quick wins to longer‑term resilience. Done For You Optimisation (£1,295): I implement the recommended changes, align data and content, and deliver measurable uplift with ongoing tracking.

03

Who should use this service and what outcomes can I expect?

Small businesses that want to be found by AI readers and trusted by users. The work focuses on clarity, crawlability, and accurate local information. Expect a higher score, clearer content, and a stronger signal to AI-powered results. Case examples include a 28‑point uplift for Local Café Collective, with improved AI snippets and more inquiries.

04

What is the process from discovery to optimization?

We start with discovery to understand your business and audience, then run the audit. You receive a plain‑English report and a prioritized plan that links tasks to value and timelines. If you choose it, we move into implementation in a collaborative cadence, with transparent checkpoints and a final review to verify improvements. Throughout, the score is tracked and documented so you can see the before and after.

05

What makes AI Search Optimisation Solutions different?

I combine practical audit discipline with an understanding of AI semantics, crawlability, and local information alignment. I translate technical issues into actionable steps small teams can execute. Values of clarity, rigor, and responsibility guide every recommendation, with a human in the loop to ensure relevance and usefulness. The service offers a clear path: baseline insight, actionable strategy, then hands‑on optimization anchored by measurable outcomes.

06

How do I start with Starter Audit?

Starter Audit is the entry point. It costs £149 and provides a baseline score, a plain‑language report, and a prioritized plan for quick wins. There is no heavy commitment—this gives you an immediate, practical roadmap. To begin, you can initiate the Starter Audit or contact me to discuss your goals.
