Become Found By AI makes your local business legible, trusted, and selectable by AI and voice systems before your competitors catch up.
We don’t just 'add code'; we engineer a semantic foundation. Our system deploys advanced LocalBusiness, PostalAddress, and ProfessionalService schema nodes that resolve your business as a singular, verified entity. By nesting your specific service definitions within the Schema.org vocabulary, we provide the 'Data Confidence' Siri and ChatGPT require to recommend you over a competitor.
Google is like a Librarian:
Siri is like an Advisor.
Old SEO optimised for a list of links. We optimise for the recommendation.
If the "Advisor" doesn't know who you are, you don't get the customer.
Local discovery has changed. People are no longer just searching Google. They are asking Siri, ChatGPT, Alexa, Google AI, and in-car assistants who to trust, who to call, and where to go. These systems don’t browse websites. They select businesses.

Why Some Firms Are Quietly Underrepresented
You are open for business.
But to Siri and AI, you are closed
You spent years building a reputation in the city. But search has changed. When a local customer asks Siri for a recommendation, it doesn't look for the 'best' business—it looks for the most machine-readable one.
When digital signals are fragmented or unclear, AI systems may defer to firms with stronger structural corroboration.
Why Some Firms Are Quietly Underrepresented
Many established firms have strong reputations, but their authority is not always structurally declared in a way AI systems can interpret with confidence.
When regulated status, service definitions, and trading relationships are not clearly aligned, AI systems become cautious about recommending the firm.
There is no penalty. No alert. Just omission.
Why the 'Advisor' ignores you:
Confused Location: Google Maps and Apple Maps have conflicting data about where you are.
Invisible Services: AI doesn't know you offer 'Emergency Repairs' because it's buried in text, not code.
Weak Trust: No 'Digital Passport' to prove you are a legitimate, verified entity.
Social-first visibility that AI cannot reliably verify
The Structural Visibility Gap
Many well-established firms have strong reputations but fragmented digital authority signals.
When service definitions, regulatory status, and trading relationships are not structurally aligned, AI systems become cautious about recommending them.
There is no penalty. No alert. Just omission.
The consequence
When a customer in your city asks their phone: 'Who is the best nearby?', your competitor gets the mention. You don't just lose the click—you lose the client forever.

THE MISSING LINK
Our website is for humans. Your "Digital Passport" is for the machine.
You spent money on a beautiful website, but Siri and ChatGPT don't care about design. They care about data confidence.
Most agencies just polish the surface. We engineer the invisible code under your site that tells AI agents: 'This is the most trusted business in town.'

From Search Results to Trusted Recommendations
Local discovery is evolving. Increasingly, potential clients are asking AI-driven systems who they should trust, who they should instruct, and who they should contact.
These systems do not assess websites visually. They evaluate structured signals, regulatory clarity, and entity consistency.
Identity: We define exactly who you are so Google never confuses you with a competitor.
Verification: We sync your name, address, and phone number across the entire web to prove you are real.How trust is calculated from reviews, references, and corroborating sources
Reputation: We translate your 5-star reviews into the specific trust signals that AI uses to rank you.
Selection: We explicitly tell the algorithms why you are the best answer for local questions.

FAQ
You have questions. We have answers.
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 optimizes for a list of links (Google). We optimize for the direct answer (Siri/AI). SEO focuses on keywords and blog posts. We focus on structured data and "Entity Resolution"—the code that proves to machines you are a real, trusted business.
Do I need this if I already rank well on Google?
Yes. Being #1 on a search result list does not mean Siri can "read" your business. If your data isn't structured correctly, AI agents will skip you and recommend a competitor they can understand. You need a "Digital Passport," not just a high ranking.
How quickly will I see results?
The technical fix is immediate. Once we install your Entity Card, machines can read your site instantly. However, it takes 2–4 weeks for directories (Apple Maps, Bing, Google) to update their trust signals and for your "Found Score" to rise.
Is the £27 DIY Toolkit enough for me?
If you are comfortable editing your website's header code and managing business listings, yes. The Toolkit gives you the exact same schemas we use. If you want it done perfectly without touching any code, the £150 Engineer Build is the better choice.
Do you work with businesses outside of Edinburgh?
Yes. While we specialize in UK visibility, the "Digital Passport" standards (Schema.org) are global. We can optimize any English-speaking local business.
