Get recommended by name in AI search.
A growing share of local searches now go through an AI answer instead of a list of blue links. If your business isn't structured for AI to read and trust, you're invisible in those answers — even if you rank well in traditional Google search.
At a glance MarketingWithCameron structures your business's data — schema markup, consistent details across every platform, and directly-quotable FAQ content — so local UK businesses get cited by name in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI Overviews.

How does AI search actually decide who to recommend?
AI answer engines lean heavily on structured, verifiable data rather than persuasive copy. That means schema markup (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage) that accurately describes what you do and where, consistent business details across your Google Business Profile, review platforms, and directories, and content written as clear, directly-quotable statements of fact rather than vague marketing language. An AI system needs to be confident it's citing something accurate — inconsistent or vague information gets filtered out in favour of a competitor whose data is cleaner.
We audit every place your business's information appears, fix inconsistencies, add correct schema across your site, write FAQ content that directly and specifically answers the questions customers actually ask, and set up an llms.txt file — a direct, structured summary AI crawlers can read without needing to interpret your full site. This builds directly on the structure of your free website and complements local SEO.

AEO FAQ
Questions about AI search visibility.
What actually is AEO, in practical terms?
It's making your business easy for AI systems to find, verify, and confidently recommend by name. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google's AI Overview 'who's a reliable electrician in Leeds', the AI pulls from structured, consistent, fact-checkable information about local businesses — Google Business Profile data, review platforms, schema markup on your site, and sometimes your site's own content directly. AEO is making sure that information exists, is accurate, and is consistent everywhere it appears.
How is this different from normal SEO?
Traditional SEO optimises to rank a page in a list of links. AEO optimises to be the answer itself — often without a click at all, since the AI just states your business name and number. The two overlap heavily (good structured data and clear content help both), but AEO puts extra weight on things SEO can treat as optional: FAQ schema with genuinely useful answers, consistent NAP data across every platform, and content written in clear, directly-quotable statements rather than marketing language.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews will recommend my business?
No — no one controls what a third-party AI system chooses to surface, and any agency claiming otherwise isn't being honest with you. What we can do is make sure every factual signal about your business (schema, reviews, citations, on-page content) is accurate, consistent, and structured the way these systems are built to read — which is the entire set of factors actually within anyone's control.
Do I need a special 'llms.txt' file or is that a gimmick?
It's a genuinely emerging standard, not a gimmick — a plain-text file that gives AI crawlers a direct, structured summary of what your business does, without needing to parse and interpret your full rendered website. It's low-effort to set up and costs you nothing if it turns out not to matter much yet, so we include it as standard rather than treating it as optional.
Will this help even if I don't show up in ChatGPT specifically?
Yes — the same work (clear structured content, consistent NAP, real FAQ schema, review platform accuracy) also directly improves Google's AI Overviews and traditional local search rankings. AEO isn't a separate track from SEO and Maps ranking; it's the same foundational work applied with AI retrieval in mind, so nothing here is wasted even as the AI search landscape keeps shifting.
