Search is changing. Google now shows AI Overviews for many queries, and more people are asking tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity for recommendations. For small businesses, the question is simple: how do you stay visible?
The fundamentals still matter
AI tools draw on the same signals that traditional search uses: well-structured websites, clear information, trustworthy sources and consistent business details. Good SEO remains the foundation.
Answer real questions clearly
AI systems favour content that answers questions directly. On your service pages, include short, specific answers to the questions customers ask most, such as cost, timescales and what is included. FAQ sections are useful here.
Use structured data
Schema markup helps search engines and AI tools understand your business, services, location and reviews. LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage and Article schema are all worth setting up.
Build a consistent presence across the web
AI tools often cross-check information. Make sure your business name, address, services and contact details are consistent on your website, Google Business Profile, directories and review platforms.
Earn genuine reviews and mentions
Reviews on Google, Clutch, Trustpilot and industry sites, along with mentions in local news or trade publications, all help establish your business as a credible source.
Keep your content up to date
Outdated information can be repeated by AI tools. Review your key pages regularly, especially prices, services and opening hours.
