Peak SEO Agency
More people are starting to ask tools like ChatGPT for recommendations instead of heading straight to Google.
Things like:
- “Can you recommend a good accountant near me?”
- “Which marketing agencies work with small businesses?”
- “Who should I speak to about SEO in Warwickshire?”
That doesn’t mean Google is suddenly irrelevant, but it does mean something interesting is happening. People want quicker, clearer answers. And those answers have to come from somewhere.
So how does a business get mentioned?
You don’t need to chase AI trends or learn anything technical. In reality, the same fundamentals still do most of the work.
Be very clear about what you do and who you help
If a website is vague, it’s hard for anyone to recommend it. Humans struggle with it, and AI tools do too. Clear services, clear locations, and plain language make a big difference.
Get mentioned in the right places
Reviews, local directories, industry websites, and genuine mentions all help build context and trust. It’s less about chasing rankings and more about being recognisable and credible online.
Keep your Google Business Profile in good shape
For local businesses especially, this is still one of the strongest signals you can control. Accurate details, recent activity, and real reviews all help paint a clearer picture of your business.
The reassuring bit
If you are already investing in local visibility, reviews, and clear messaging, you are not behind. In most cases, businesses do not need something new. They need the basics done properly and kept up to date. AI tools have not replaced good SEO. They have just made clarity and credibility more important.
