Ranking and being cited inside AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude.
AI search is no longer a future trend. ChatGPT alone serves billions of conversational queries a month, and a steadily growing share of those queries are about specific local businesses, products and services. Where Google would have shown ten organic results, an AI engine picks one or two and cites them by name. The cost of being absent from that shortlist is far higher than being page-two on Google.
Our AI Search articles cover what actually wins citations: AI Discovery Files at the root, LocalBusiness and Organization schema on every page, content with first-hand experience that no SERP-summarising model could produce, and speed that lets the engine fetch and parse the page cleanly. Every article is grounded in real client work and real measurements, with the dates and the AI engine names intact.
Two months after launch on a brand-new domain, a one-man locksmith ranks page one of Google and gets recommended unprompted by ChatGPT, in one of the most competitive local niches there is. Here is the dated data across Google organic, the map pack, Google's AI Overview and ChatGPT, and the exact E-E-A-T and non-commodity content decisions that earned it.
In April a Brewood removals firm had 220 of its 272 pages refused by Google. We rebuilt it from scratch, then asked ChatGPT to score the result against the best removals sites in the UK. It put the village firm on 99/100, ahead of Pickfords. Here are the three build decisions that earned the marks, and why none of them were the things SEO blogs obsess over.
Google confirmed the May 2026 core update finished rolling out on 2 June, a twelve-day run. Completion is not a finish line. Here is what it did to a real UK client site we run, why the long-tail won first while the head term did not, and what Google says you should do this week.
On 8 April 2026 we launched a new custom-built site for a Brewood locksmith. Nineteen days later it was the #1 result on ChatGPT and Gemini for "brewood locksmith", with mobile PageSpeed 100/100/100/100, no backlinks, no reviews and no domain authority. Here is exactly what we built and why it worked.
