AI visibility audit · UK firms
AI just handed your next client to a competitor.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini to recommend a firm like yours, it returns a shortlist of names — and they act on it before they ever open Google. We show you whether you're on that list, who's beating you, and exactly how to get named.

The lost revenue you can't see
A lost Google ranking shows up in your reports. This doesn't.
There's no alert when an AI assistant skips your name. No drop in a dashboard, no missed call, no bounced enquiry. The client simply asks, gets three other firms, and hires one of them — and you never knew the conversation happened. The loss is silent, and it compounds every week you don't check.
The new front door
Search didn't disappear. It moved into a conversation.
When someone needs a professional services firm, more and more often they ask an AI assistant for a recommendation and trust the shortlist it returns. There's no page two. If you're not named, you're not considered.
Recommendations, not links
AI doesn't return ten blue links — it returns a short list of names. Being on it is the whole game.
Invisible by default
Most firms have never been checked. The AI assistant has already decided who it trusts in your area — usually without you.
Fixable signals
What AI cites is concrete: profiles, reviews, structured data, the words on your site. All of it is within your control.
What it's costing you
Put a number on the silence
Two figures you already know your way around. Drag them to see the annual value of AI-driven demand you're not currently in the running for.
Illustrative estimate — a conservative floor, not a forecast. BrightLocal's 2026 research (US panel, n=1,227) found 8% of consumers start their local-business search with an AI assistant; this treats that share as demand you're not currently in the running for if you're invisible there. Broader AI adoption for local search already runs far higher — this is a floor, not a ceiling. Your real figures will differ. Source: BrightLocal, 2026 (US data)

A clear verdict, the competitive picture, and a ranked action plan to get into the answers that matter.
The full audit
A report built on your market, not just your results
Even if AI never names you, you get a substantial report — because most of it draws on the competitive field: who wins, how they win, and what the national players are doing.
Verdict
A plain-English headline on exactly where you stand and why.
Visibility scores
How often you appear, per platform, across every question tested.
Share of voice
Across every firm AI recommended, how the recommendations split between you, your local rivals, and the national brands — the single clearest picture of the gap.
Who wins (and how)
The local firms AI recommends — and the specialisms and phrases it attaches to them.
The national ceiling
Where big national brands cap local visibility, and where they don't.
Gap analysis
The specific signals separating you from the firms getting named.
Action plan + copy
A ranked fix list, plus rewrites of your own page copy.
Technical readability
Three checks on whether AI can even read your site, with plain-English fixes.
Who's behind this
I've spent 30 years building finance and data analytics systems for large organisations, in the public and private sector.
I use several AI assistants to find goods and services I want to buy, and I realised the same pattern kept appearing: a handful of firms named again and again, dozens of good ones left out entirely.
I built myaivisibility to give those firms an honest, independent read on exactly where they stand and what to fix — no jargon, no retainer, just the facts and a plan.
