Who this guide is for

It's written for Australian business owners, founders, general managers and marketing leads who've started to wonder whether AI tools are sending customers to someone else. You don't need to know what AEO or GEO means. Every idea is explained in plain English.

More customers now ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Claude who to hire, instead of scrolling through ten search results. The answer usually names a handful of businesses. The guide explains how those names get chosen, the signals that appear to matter, and how to check where your business stands.

If you're looking for a quick answer to why your business isn't being named, start with why isn't ChatGPT recommending my business? The guide goes further, with a self-assessment, common mistakes and a simple way to work out what it's worth to you.

Questions

Is the guide really free?

Yes. Enter your details and it arrives by email straight away. You can also choose our 9-part email series, but you don't have to.

Is this a DIY manual?

No. It explains what matters, why, and how to spot gaps in your own business. It shows what you can fix yourself and where specialist help tends to pay off.

Can you guarantee my business will be recommended by AI?

No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change between tools and over time. Clear, consistent, well-corroborated information can improve your chances, and it can be measured.

What happens after I read it?

If you want a measured view, our free AI visibility audit shows your current share of answer, which competitors are cited instead, and three quick wins. You can do it as a 15-minute call or in writing.
