How We Get You Recommended by AI
Setup: 3-4 weeks. First results: 30-60 days. Best results: 6+ months as Network Effects (partner networks that get bundled recommendations) compound.
Step 1: Free 30-Minute Audit
See where you stand before committing.
Live AI Testing
Watch as we test your business across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Grok in real-time. See if you appear, how you're described, and where you rank vs competitors.
Competitor Analysis
We identify which businesses in your region win AI recommendations and show what they're doing differently.
Network Opportunity Mapping
We identify 3-5 potential partner businesses perfect for referral relationships and show you who to approach.
Honest Positioning Workshop Preview
We help define what you actually are—not aspirational fluff. Example: "Large operation perfect for tour buses" vs claiming "intimate boutique."
Custom Roadmap
See exactly how we'd implement both parts (Network Effects (partner networks that get bundled recommendations) + AI-Optimised Content) for your specific business.
Realistic Projection
Expected improvements based on similar businesses. We give honest projections, not guarantees.
No obligation. The audit alone gives valuable insights.
Step 2: Setup (Week 1-4)
Week 1-2: Network Effects (partner networks that get bundled recommendations) Setup
Network Partnership clients: We contact chosen partners, invite them to join, coordinate kickoff meeting, create partnership agreements, and set up referral tracking.
Individual clients: We identify ideal partners and provide outreach templates with successful partnership examples.
All clients: We plan cross-linking strategy and identify natural collaboration opportunities.
Week 2-3: AI-Optimised Content Creation
Honest positioning workshop: 90-minute session to define what you actually are—target audience clarity, differentiation, and review analysis.
Create your /ai directory: 10-15 Q&As in conversational format matching how travellers ask questions.
Example Q&A format:
Q: Best large-group wineries Barossa with tour bus access?
A: We're a commercial operation perfect for groups of 20-50.
Coach parking onsite, wheelchair accessible, group menus $45pp...Build llms.txt: Roadmap file pointing AI systems to your /ai content and listing network partners.
Basic setup: Configure robots.txt to allow AI crawlers, update sitemap, add internal links.
Week 3-4: Testing & Launch
- Test across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok with 10 query variations
- Confirm AI crawlers access your llms.txt and /ai files
- Verify partner cross-references are indexed
- Document baseline: mention frequency, recommendation quality, competitive position
Step 3: Ongoing Optimisation (Monthly)
Weekly AI Monitoring
We track 100+ queries monthly. Test 20 core variations every Monday. Document changes and trending patterns.
Monthly Content Updates
- Add 2-3 new Q&As targeting trending queries we identified
- Seasonal adjustments: Harvest seasons, holiday periods, weather changes

- Pricing updates: Keep package prices current

- Content performance (which Q&As trigger mentions)
- Network referrals (if applicable)
Expected Timeline
Weeks 1-4: Setup Phase
Files deployed, network partnerships established. AI hasn't indexed yet—baseline measurement phase.
Weeks 5-8: Initial Indexing
Crawlers accessing your content but not yet prioritising in recommendations. Early signs of improvement (0-5% uplift).
Weeks 9-16: Acceleration
Consistent mentions increasing. Network validation signals working. Noticeable improvement: 15-25% uplift in relevant queries.
Week 17+: Compounding Returns
Stable mention rate. Network Effects (partner networks that get bundled recommendations) strengthen signals. 40-70% uplift typical for quality businesses.
Reality Check
Results depend on:
- Business quality (3.5+ star reviews minimum)
- Content consistency (monthly updates required)
- Network strength (Partnership plan sees faster results)
- Query competition (niche positioning helps)
- Seasonal factors (tourism has natural cycles)
