Big claim. What’s the evidence?
Indy / Asking better questionsQuery Journey
Search has moved. The job is to move with it.
Users no longer just click ten blue links—they prompt AI engines, read Overviews, and compare brand summaries before making decisions.
AI Answer Engines
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini synthesizing entity facts and user recommendations in real time.
Google AI Overviews
Generative snapshots placing cited brand summaries directly above traditional organic listings.
Structured Knowledge Graphs
Machine-readable schema and verified public facts that prove who your business is and what you offer.
Conversational Intent
Long-tail, decision-stage prompts asking AI engines to recommend the best UK solution for specific needs.
"Your customers may meet your brand in an AI summary before they ever visit your homepage."
The serious work is not chasing every new AI tool—it is ensuring your brand's facts, authority, and value are undeniable.
Scope
What AI search work includes
Retrievability review
Check whether the brand, products, services, and key entities are indexed, parsed, and retrievable by AI crawlers.
Entity clarity
Align public facts, founder signals, structured data, and entity references so search engines understand who you are.
Source content
Build pages and resources that answer real questions, establish original research, and earn natural citations.
Citation readiness
Improve internal linking, structured data markup, and technical clarity so AI answer engines pull exact facts. Read be retrievable before being cited.
SERP & answer tracking
Monitor where the brand appears, where competitors are cited instead, and what sources AI tools trust in your category.
Governance
Help teams decide what to publish, refresh, or prune to prevent hallucinations and maintain brand authority.
Principle
AI visibility begins with being understandable.
Before an AI system can cite you, it has to understand you. There are no responsible guarantees here—only durable engineering, original authority, and clear entity representation.

FAQ
AI search questions answered
What is AI search consultancy?
It is work that helps a brand understand how it is cited across AI engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, and fixes retrievability barriers.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT or AI citation?
No. Responsible AI search work cannot guarantee citations because LLMs update probabilistic outputs. We optimize the underlying data, authority, and retrievability.
Is AI search separate from SEO?
Not entirely. Technical SEO, structured data, entity authority, and high-quality content form the bedrock of AI search retrievability.
Should we create lots of AI SEO pages?
No. The work should start with real user needs and original insights, not low-quality AI content spam.
