Generative Engine Optimisation

When AI recommends a business, is it you?

AI gives customers a shortlist of businesses to choose from. We make sure yours is on it.

For UK service businesses, professionals and local brands.

Track and improve how AI tools like ChatGPT understand and recommend your business to the customers choosing who to buy from.

AI Assistant
    Is your business here?

    Representative example. AI answers vary, but the pattern is the same: a few names, chosen for you.

    The uncomfortable bit

    AI doesn’t recommend the best business. It recommends the easiest to verify.

    Your reputation lives in referrals, reviews and years of good work, and most of it is invisible to a machine. AI builds its shortlist from what it can read, check and cite about you. So the recommendation doesn’t go to the best firm. It goes to the firm that’s easiest to verify.

    Which means being overlooked isn’t a verdict on your work. It’s a gap in what the engines can see, and a gap can be closed. First, the scale of the shift.

    The shift

    The change is measurable. So are the limits.

    We use named sources and state the population behind each figure. No vague “AI is taking over” claims.

    54%

    of UK adults say they use AI tools, up from 31% the year before.

    Ofcom 2026 ↗
    75%

    of online UK adults read AI-generated search summaries at least sometimes.

    Ofcom 2026 ↗
    8% vs 15%

    clicked a traditional result when a Google AI summary appeared, versus when it did not.

    Pew 2025 ↗

    Google still matters. But a growing share of your customers form a shortlist from an AI answer before they reach a results page, and that shortlist is decided by what the engines can access, understand and verify about you. Right now, hardly anyone is competing for the spot. So the shift is real. The question is whether it reaches a business like yours.

    Who it's for

    Built for businesses where one enquiry is worth real money.

    If customers choose you on trust, location, proof and expertise, then how AI describes you now matters. Fyndable is a strong fit for:

    Accountants
    Solicitors & law firms
    Estate & letting agents
    Mortgage & finance brokers
    Private clinics & dental
    Trades & home services
    Local professional firms
    Specialist consultants

    If one client is worth four figures, you don’t lose rankings when AI overlooks you. You lose enquiries you never knew existed. They don’t show up in any report, and nobody calls to tell you they chose someone else. The phone just rings slightly less. The first step is finding out whether that’s already happening to you.

    See how visible you are.

    Six plain questions, scored on the spot. It's a transparent self-assessment of your foundations, not a live ranking and not a claim we've already inspected your site. The full site inspection is the paid audit.

    Calculating…

    Here’s what that number can’t see

    This score is built from your own answers, so it shows where you think you stand. What it can’t show is how the engines actually read your site, which sources they trust about you, and who they name instead. That takes an inspection, and the inspection is the £99 Snapshot.

    Don’t take our word for it

    Open ChatGPT. Ask who it recommends.

    Use a signed-out session, or a fresh chat with history cleared. If AI has learned your firm from previous chats or your account, it may name you regardless. A clean session is the honest test.

    Ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to recommend a firm like yours, in your town, for the thing you’re best at. See who it names, and whether you’re there. That one prompt is the whole argument. What it can’t tell you is why those names were chosen, or what would put yours among them. That part takes an inspection.

    How the audit works

    What we actually do.

    Fyndable isn't an automated dashboard that spits out a number. It's a human-led audit: our team examines your business the way an AI engine does, then shows you exactly why you are, or aren't, being recommended. We assess your visibility across ten factors that determine whether AI can find, understand, trust and cite you.

    01

    Can AI read you?

    We check whether your site carries the structured information AI needs to understand what you do, who you serve and where, the foundation most businesses are missing entirely.

    02

    Do you answer the real questions?

    We look at whether your content directly answers what clients ask before they buy, the exact material AI lifts and attributes when it recommends a business.

    03

    Can AI trust you?

    We assess your credibility signals, credentials, experience, reviews and results, and whether they're presented in a form AI can actually read and cite, not buried in images.

    04

    How do you compare?

    We test the queries your customers use and see who AI recommends instead of you, then identify the positioning gap you can own that your competitors can't.

    What you receive

    A clear report scored against all ten factors, the specific fixes ranked by impact, and a prioritised plan to act on. Depending on your tier, that extends to competitor breakdowns, copy-and-paste technical templates, rewritten pages and a tracking dashboard. Everything is delivered remotely, with a real expert behind the analysis rather than an algorithm.

    The ten factors we score

    No black box. Here's exactly what we assess, tap any to see what it means.

    01Structured data

    Whether your site carries the machine-readable information that tells AI what your business is, what you offer, and where, the single foundation most businesses are missing.

    02Answer readiness

    Whether your content directly answers the real questions customers ask, in the plain language they use, so AI can lift and attribute it.

    03Content depth & substance

    Whether there's enough genuine written content for AI to read and quote, rather than a largely visual site it can't interpret.

    04Content structure

    Whether your pages are organised with clear headings and logical structure that AI can parse and pull from accurately.

    05E-E-A-T signals

    Experience, expertise, authority and trust, whether your credentials, qualifications and track record are stated in readable text, not just implied.

    06Citation worthiness

    Whether your site gives AI clear, quotable, attributable statements it can confidently cite as a recommendation.

    07Reputation & reviews

    Whether your proof, reviews, results, testimonials, is surfaced on your own site in a form AI can read, not locked on third-party platforms.

    08Local relevance

    Whether your site makes your location and service area unmistakable, so AI recommends you for the right "near me" and town-specific questions.

    09Active authority

    Whether you show signs of being a current, active expert in your field, rather than a site that went quiet years ago.

    10Competitive position

    How you compare to the businesses AI names instead of you, and the specific positioning gap you can own that they can't.

    Results

    Real audits. Real missed opportunities found.

    Used Car Dealership · Dorset
    Current4.0→Projected after fixes7.0 /10

    A new dealership scoring bottom of its local market in AI search. Our audit found a positioning angle no rival could claim.

    The unlock: the only AA-accredited dealer in the affordable segment, a claim AI could cite and competitors couldn't match.
    Prestige Car Finance Broker · UK
    Current6.0→Projected after fixes7.5–8.0 /10

    An established broker invisible for the high-value queries that mattered most. We found an entire audience no competitor was targeting.

    The unlock: a "blue ocean" of complex-income buyers no rival owned in AI search.

    Projected scores are estimates against our own 10-factor framework, not guaranteed rankings in ChatGPT, Google or Perplexity. They reflect the improvement we'd expect once our recommendations are implemented.

    Who's behind Fyndable

    We understand how AI actually works.

    The work is done by a team of people with genuine AI and computer-science expertise alongside practical marketing experience, not by an automated tool dressed up as consulting. Recommendations come from how these systems actually select and cite sources, not from hunches. Every recommendation should be understandable, traceable to evidence and useful to the person implementing it.

    We know the mechanics

    We understand how large language models find, weigh and cite the sources behind their answers, the technical reality that decides who gets recommended.

    We turn it into results

    Technical understanding only matters if it moves the needle. We translate how AI works into specific, practical changes that make your business the one it names.

    We stay ahead

    AI search is changing fast. We track how the major engines evolve so your visibility is built on how they work now, not how they worked last year.

    Questions

    The honest answers.

    Do you guarantee AI will recommend my business?

    No, and anyone who promises that isn't being straight with you. Answers vary by engine, prompt, location and time. We improve the signals these tools rely on, identify gaps and make your business easier to understand and verify, but no credible provider can guarantee inclusion or a position.

    Can I check this myself in ChatGPT?

    Use a signed-out session or a fresh chat with history cleared, otherwise AI may name you from previous chats or your account. Once that's set: yes, and you should. A single prompt is useful evidence, but it doesn't explain why a business was included, how results vary across prompts and engines, or which underlying fixes deserve priority. The audit provides that diagnosis and records the scope and limits of the testing.

    What exactly is GEO?

    Generative Engine Optimisation is the work of making a business easier for AI-assisted search and answer engines to access, understand and support with evidence. In practice, much of it rests on sound SEO, clear content, consistent business information and credible third-party signals.

    Is this different from SEO?

    It's an extension of good search practice, not a replacement for it. Google states that its AI features don't require special optimisation or special schema. So we assess the same strong foundations, then add prompt-level testing, answer readiness, source consistency and visibility across the relevant answer engines.

    What does the free score measure?

    Your answers to six foundation questions about your site. It's a transparent self-assessment, not a live ranking and not a claim that we've already inspected your website. The full site inspection is the paid audit.

    How is the free score calculated?

    Deterministically. Each question maps to a factor in how AI reads a site, and your answers produce an indicative score on the spot. The same answers always give the same result. It's a guide to where you likely stand, not a measured ranking.

    What happens when I request an audit?

    You send your website and chosen package. We confirm the scope and price before starting, so no payment is taken on this page. You then receive the report described in the package, with limitations and recommendations stated clearly.
