The Person Behind the Brands

Mark McNeece, Founder of Press Forge Est. 2001

Mark McNeece

Founder & Lead Developer

Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, Mark is now based in Kettering, Northamptonshire. He founded BSolve IT Limited in 2001 and has spent over 25 years helping businesses get online and stay ahead of the curve.

His career spans the full evolution of the web. From the early days of hand-coded HTML and shared hosting, through the rise of WordPress and managed infrastructure, and now into AI visibility and machine-readable content.

Mark is a builder at heart. Rather than just designing websites, he develops the tools and plugins that make them faster, more secure, and ready for the future. His WordPress plugins are used on hundreds of client sites and available free on WordPress.org.

AI Visibility & Discovery Files

Mark creates the AI Discovery Files specification. A structured system of machine-readable files (llms.txt, ai.txt, identity.json, and more) that help AI systems understand and accurately represent businesses online.

Pioneering AI Visibility

Traditional SEO ensures search engines can find your website. AI Visibility goes further. It ensures AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can accurately understand and represent your business.

Mark created the AI Discovery Files specification: a structured system of machine-readable files that tell AI exactly who you are, what you do, and how your content should be used. It's the foundation for how businesses will be discovered in the AI era.
