The shift that changes everything

Google used to be the first call.
Now it is ChatGPT.

For twenty years, a strong Google ranking and a tidy Google My Business profile were enough to keep the enquiry line busy. That world has changed — and it changed quickly.

More than a third of homeowners now begin a service search by asking an AI assistant rather than typing into a search engine. They ask: "Who is the best plumber near me?" or "Which HVAC company should I call?" — and they act on whoever the AI recommends.

"The plumber who showed up was the one ChatGPT told me to call. I never even looked at Google."

Traditional SEO and Google My Business optimisation were not built for this. They are optimised for search engine crawlers, not AI language models. A business that ranks first on Google may not appear at all when an AI answers the same question.

What is actually changing

AI assistants now answer trade queries directly ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity give named recommendations — they do not return a list of blue links. One business gets the call.
AI trains on a different data set to Google The signals that put you at the top of Google search — backlinks, click-through rates — have little bearing on what an AI model recommends. The data sources are different.
Your competitors are beginning to notice A handful of trade businesses have already engaged specialists to build their AI presence. The window to get in early — while the field is still open — is now.
This is not going to reverse AI-assisted search is growing quarter on quarter. Businesses that establish presence now will compound that advantage as adoption increases.

Business gets named. AI assistants give a recommendation — not ten blue links. Be that business.

In their words

“
We were getting good Google rankings but the phone had gone quiet. A customer told me she found us through ChatGPT. Six months ago I had no idea what that even meant for my business. Now it is our second biggest source of new enquiries.

Marcus Webb — Owner, Webb Heating Solutions, Manchester

"I thought it would take ages to see any difference. The first monthly report showed we were already being mentioned by name on Perplexity. By month three, we had two clients who specifically said an AI recommended us."

How we work

A specialist service,
not a generalist agency

We focus exclusively on AI visibility for trade businesses. That focus means we understand the platforms, the data sources, and the queries that matter to HVAC engineers, plumbers, and electricians — not restaurants or law firms.

Trade-specialist

Built for the trades, not adapted for them

Every query pattern, every citation source, every AI platform we monitor is chosen because it is where homeowners ask about HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services.

Done-for-you

You will not need to learn anything new

No dashboards to check, no content to write, no platforms to log in to. We handle everything and send you a plain-English report at the end of each month.

No long contracts

Results earn your continued business

Month-to-month. Cancel with 30 days notice. We do not lock clients in because a service worth keeping should be kept on its merits.

Transparent reporting

You see exactly what has changed and why

Your monthly report shows your AI recommendation rate, which platforms mention you by name, and the specific queries your business appears in response to.
