AI Search Visibility — Get Your Venue Recommended by ChatGPT
Ask ChatGPT for the best [your venue type] near you. Does your venue come up? More customers than ever are asking AI where to go — and getting a shortlist of three. If you’re not on it, you’re invisible. We make you the answer.
The cost of being absent from AI search
When an AI recommends a competitor, the customer never sees you at all. There are no “other ten links” to scroll. Most venues are completely absent — because they’ve never been set up for it. This is the fastest-growing source of new customers, and almost no agency is working on it yet.
Proof, not promises
Real venues. Real #1 rankings.
See how we take real activity venues to the top of Google and the Maps pack for the searches that fill them.
What we deliver
We make your venue discoverable and quotable by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews — the structured content, schema, citations and local signals these systems read — so when someone asks an AI for the best place to climb, bounce or book a party in your area, your venue is in the answer. It’s the same groundwork that already has our clients ranking #1 on Google and across the Maps pack in their cities.
How we do it
- Make sure AI crawlers can read your site (GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended).
- Build your llms.txt so AI tools understand who you are and what you offer.
- Add FAQ and entity schema that answers the questions customers ask AI.
- Make your business information consistent everywhere AI tools learn from.
- Build the reviews and citations AI tools trust.
- Monitor monthly which AI tools mention you — and which name your competitors.
What is AI search visibility, in plain English?
It’s whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI recommend your venue when someone asks where to go. It’s becoming a major source of bookings, and most venues are invisible in it. We fix that — and we’re early, which means first-mover advantage that compounds.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools do you track?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini. We run the same set of local questions on each, repeat them to allow for variation, and report how often you’re mentioned, how often your own website is cited, and your share of voice against local competitors.
What is llms.txt, and do I need one?
It’s a short plain-text file at your site’s root that tells AI tools what your venue is, what you offer and which pages matter. It’s quick to add and helps AI read your site accurately. We add it as part of AI search work.
Is my website blocking AI crawlers?
Often, yes — without realising. A misconfigured robots.txt or firewall can block GPTBot and PerplexityBot entirely. We check this first.
How long until I appear in AI search?
Typically within four months, depending on your starting point and review base. We monitor and report monthly.
What is AI visibility?
How often AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews and Gemini mention and recommend your venue when people ask them for ideas, for example “best climbing wall near Bristol” or “where can I have a kids’ party in Leeds”.
What is generative engine optimisation (GEO)?
GEO is optimising your website and online presence so AI tools understand, trust and recommend you. It builds on SEO: clear pages about what you offer, structured data, consistent business details, strong reviews and mentions on sites AI tools cite. See our guide to GEO vs SEO.
How can I check my AI visibility?
Ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google the questions your customers ask, from your town, a few times each, and note whether you’re named and which sites are cited. Our free visibility audit does this properly across all four main AI tools.
How do I get my venue cited in AI search?
Make your own site the clearest source: a page per activity and audience with prices and details, FAQ and LocalBusiness schema, an llms.txt file, consistent listings, plenty of recent reviews, and mentions on local guides and directories that AI tools already cite.
Is AI replacing SEO?
No. AI answers lean heavily on search results, reviews and well-structured websites, so good SEO is the foundation of AI visibility. Venues need both: Google Maps and search for today’s bookings, AI answers for a growing share of tomorrow’s.
AI is the rising threat, but local search is still where the day-to-day bookings are. We always pair this with local SEO and Google Maps and booking-conversion work.
