When customers ask ChatGPT for a recommendation, does it name you?

No, the Snapshot includes your first fixes, ready to use. You get the AI question targets your sector should be answering (your content roadmap) and schema markup written for your business that you can paste straight into your site the same day. Diagnosis and the first round of treatment, not just the diagnosis.

No and that's the point. Our research across UK sectors found that AI tools recommend businesses based mainly on Google review volume and third-party "best of" mentions, not website quality. A traditional SEO audit inspects your website; an AI visibility audit inspects what ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini actually say about you, then works backwards to why. Different question, different method, different fixes. (If your site also needs a conventional SEO audit, we offer that separately, we'll tell you honestly if the Snapshot suggests you need one.)

Possibly more than anyone. In our testing, the four AI tools showed minimal overlap in who they recommend and strong Google rankings frequently did not translate into AI mentions. If you've invested in SEO, the Snapshot tells you whether that investment is carrying over into AI answers or whether there's a gap competitors are exploiting.

AI visibility, sometimes called AI search visibility is simply whether AI tools name your business when customers ask relevant questions. The industry uses several overlapping terms: AI SEO, ChatGPT SEO, AEO (answer engine optimisation), GEO (generative engine optimisation). They all describe roughly the same discipline: making your business the answer AI gives. The Snapshot measures where you stand today and hands you the starting fixes; the jargon doesn't matter, the result does.

There's no submission form or paid listing, you can't buy your way in. AI tools decide who to recommend based on publicly visible signals, and our research shows the strongest are Google review volume and recency, mentions in third-party "best of" articles and directories, and clearly structured business information (schema markup). Getting recommended means strengthening those signals over time. The Snapshot shows you exactly which ones you're missing versus the businesses AI already recommends in your sector, so you work on the right things in the right order.

No and be cautious of anyone who says yes. Nobody controls what AI tools output; they're trained and updated by OpenAI, Google and others. What we can do, based on documented research, is identify the signals those tools demonstrably reward, show you your gaps against recommended competitors, and give you the specific actions most likely to close them. What we guarantee is the work itself: delivered in 48 hours or fully refunded.

Honest answer: it varies, and anyone who gives you a fixed timeline is guessing. Schema markup can be picked up within days to weeks. Review-building compounds over weeks to months. Third-party mentions depend on outreach and publication cycles. The realistic frame is a 3-6 month improvement project, not a light switch, which is exactly why your Snapshot includes dated baseline evidence, so progress is measurable rather than a matter of opinion.

The Snapshot is yours to act on, the question targets and schema markup can be implemented the same day by you or your web person, and the action plan is written so a non-specialist can follow it. If you'd like us to go deeper, content optimisation, a full site audit, hands-on implementation - that's our Growth & AI Audit, and we'll only mention it if your results show it's genuinely worth your money. No obligation, no follow-up sales sequence.

Yes. It arrives as ready-made code with plain-English, step-by-step instructions for adding it via a free WordPress snippet plugin - typically a 20-minute job. If your site isn't WordPress, we tailor the instructions to your platform (Squarespace, Wix, Shopify and others all support it). And if you get stuck, that's what the included call is for.

No. We're based in Bristol and know the South West market deeply, our original research covered Bristol sectors in detail, but the Snapshot works for any UK business. The AI tools are queried using your real location and sector, wherever you are.

Just the five-minute form after booking: business name, sector, location, main services, and optionally up to three competitors to watch for. We don't need logins, website access, or analytics, everything we assess is publicly visible, which is exactly the point: we see what the AI sees.

When you pick your slot in the calendar above, you'll be taken straight to secure card payment, processed by Stripe, the same payment infrastructure used by millions of businesses. Your booking is confirmed the moment payment completes, with an email receipt. Prefer an invoice? Email marketing@ukcreativeventures.co.uk and we'll arrange it.

Then congratulations, you'll have dated proof of it, a baseline to defend, and you'll know exactly which signals are working so you don't accidentally stop doing them. In our research that outcome is rare (the four tools disagree too much for anyone to sweep the board), but if it's you, the Snapshot becomes your evidence, not your alarm bell.
