The problem local businesses are about to face
Even great businesses are being silently excluded.
AI systems don’t “see” your business the way humans do. They rely on structured information, consistent signals, trusted sources, and clear entity definitions. Most local businesses do not meet that standard.
There is no ranking drop. No warning. Just absence from AI-driven answers, map suggestions, and voice recommendations.
How AI currently sees most small businesses
- Fragmented listings across Google, Facebook, directories, and maps
- Unclear or conflicting service and location definitions
- Websites that are visually fine but machine-invisible
- Weak trust and corroboration signals across the web
- Social-first visibility that AI cannot reliably verify
The consequence
When someone nearby asks AI: “Who should I use?”, your business may not even be considered as an option.
What the Local AI Visibility Engine is
Machine visibility engineering for small businesses.
The AI Visibility Engine is a system that:
- Diagnoses how machines interpret your business
- Identifies where AI discovery is breaking
- Repairs the signals AI relies on
- Engineers your business to be selectable by AI and voice systems
It is not marketing. It is not traditional SEO. It is the technical and structural work required so that AI systems can understand, trust, and select your local business.
Three core outcomes
- AI can clearly understand who you are and what you do
- Your services and locations resolve as a trusted local entity
- You become eligible for AI, map, and voice recommendations
1. Diagnose
We run an AI visibility diagnostic to surface entity clarity, signal consistency, machine readability, trust signals, and discoverability across AI and voice.
2. Repair
Fix what machines use.
We correct business identity, structure, schema, listings, location and service definitions, and the trust signals AI relies on – where visibility is really decided.
3. Prepare
Be selectable by AI.
We align your services to AI-friendly language, map real-world questions to clear answers, and stabilise your signals so AI can confidently recommend you.
What makes this different
Most visibility services focus on humans. We focus on machines.
The AI Visibility Engine works at the layer where AI decides who exists, who is trusted, and who is safe to recommend.
- How machines resolve entities (your business as a “thing” in the world)
- How AI systems verify that you are real, active, and reputable
- How trust is calculated from reviews, references, and corroborating sources
- How answers are assembled when someone asks for the “best” local option
AI is becoming a discovery layer.
Small businesses will not compete on websites. They will compete on machine interpretation. The question is no longer “Do you have a website?” but “Can AI understand, trust, and select your business?”

Questions
Common questions about AI visibility.
If you are not sure which option is right, start with the free Local AI Visibility Check and we will point you in the right direction.
Is this just SEO with a different name?
No. Traditional SEO focuses largely on ranking pages for human searchers. The Local AI Visibility Engine focuses on how machines interpret your business across multiple systems – AI assistants, maps, voice, and search – using structured data, entity clarity, and trust signals that those systems rely on.
Do I need this if I already rank well on Google?
Strong Google rankings help, but they are no guarantee that AI systems can confidently understand and recommend your business. Many high-ranking sites remain poorly structured for AI, with weak entity definitions and inconsistent signals across the wider web.
How long does a Local AI Discoverability Tune-Up take?
Most tune-ups for a single-location business complete within 2–4 weeks, depending on the current state of your listings, website, and supporting signals. We will give you a clearer timeframe after your initial visibility check.
Can you work with multi-location businesses?
Yes. Multi-location businesses benefit significantly from entity and listing clarity. Pricing for multi-location work is scoped separately after an initial diagnostic, to account for the number of locations and platforms involved.
Is the Starter Kit suitable if I’m not technical?
Yes. The Starter Kit is written for non-technical owners, with plain-language explanations, checklists, and copy-and-paste templates. You may still choose to involve your web developer for some implementation steps, such as structured data.
Let AI understand, trust, and select your business.
Stop leaving AI-driven calls, bookings, and visits to chance. Take the first step by checking how machines see you today.
The Local AI Visibility Engine exists to make sure the answer is yes.
