Rated 4.9 on Google by the businesses we work with Ask AI who it recommends in your sector. Is yours one of the names that comes back?

For UK Businesses

AI Search Agency

Find you.Trust you.Choose you.

Your next customer is asking ChatGPT who to use, and it comes back with a handful of names. If yours is missing, the enquiry goes to someone else. We work with UK trades, construction firms and service businesses that are great at the work. Our job is making sure the AI knows it: we build the evidence these systems check before they recommend anyone, so the name in that answer is yours.

Proof you can type into ChatGPT tonight.

The two panels below replay a real pattern, and you do not have to take it on trust. Open any assistant and ask it who lays brick on major housing sites in Yorkshire. Bond Brickwork, our search client since 2018, is the name that comes back.

Best brickwork contractors for housing developments in Yorkshire?

Searching the web

Looking for contractors with residential development experience…

Checking capabilities, project history and locations…

Comparing evidence across independent sources…

The answer

Which ones would you actually recommend?

Answer

Based on the projects and coverage available, Bond Brickwork is a strong fit. They work on major residential developments across Yorkshire and their site sets out capabilities, packages and completed sites clearly.

That last part is the bit most contractors are missing.

Illustrative of the pattern we work on. Answers vary by wording, account and day, which is exactly why we report a dated snapshot rather than a ranking.

How it works

Find you. Trust you. Choose you.

That has been Halizona’s promise since 2018: the right people find you, trust you and choose you. AI search runs on the same three steps, just faster and with no second page. The model has to retrieve you, believe you, then say your name.

A fast, well-structured website built by Halizona
01

Be in the set it searches

Before an assistant recommends anyone, it pulls a shortlist from search indexes and what it already knows. If your pages are slow, blocked or vague, you are out before the answer starts. We fix the search foundations first: technical SEO, crawl access, indexing, site structure and the AI SEO groundwork that decides whether you can be retrieved at all.

  • Technical SEO
  • Crawl access
  • Indexing
  • AI SEO
  • Site structure
Reviewing how a business is described across the web
02

Give it evidence it can check

A model names a business confidently when independent sources agree about it. We make what you do unambiguous, then build the proof around it: entity optimisation, structured data, real reviews, case studies with named clients, and mentions on the sites these systems actually read.

  • Entity optimisation
  • Structured data
  • Reviews
  • Authority building
  • Citations

Be the name in the answer

People ask AI complete questions. Who are the best commercial flooring contractors in Yorkshire? Which brickwork firms work with major housebuilders? Through GEO and AEO we build content that answers the exact questions your buyers ask, so the reply carries your name. And once they click through, your website still has to win the work. We look after that part too.

  • GEO
  • AEO
  • Buyer questions
  • Comparison content
  • Conversion
A straight word about GEO

There isn’t a magic GEO switch.

AI search has created a lot of new terminology. GEO. AEO. AI SEO. LLM optimisation. Some of it is useful. Some of it makes a fairly sensible job sound more complicated than it needs to be.

If an AI system is going to recommend your business, it needs to find useful information about you, understand exactly what you do, and have enough evidence to be confident in it. That starts with the things good search work has always relied on: a technically sound website, clear services, real projects, reviews, and credible sites talking about you. AI search adds a layer on top. That layer is where we spend our time.

Nobody can force ChatGPT to recommend you, and anyone promising that is guessing or selling. What we do is remove every reason for it to leave you out, then measure whether your visibility changes.

AI search is still search.

What does AI currently know about your business?

Before changing anything, we find out where you stand.

We check the sort of questions your customers could genuinely ask across ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Then we look at what comes back.

  • Are you mentioned?
  • Which competitors are appearing?
  • Which sources are being used?
  • Is your business being misunderstood?
  • Are important services missing completely?
  • Does the information match what you want to be known for?

That gives us something much more useful than saying you need “more GEO”. It tells us what needs fixing.

The work behind better visibility.

Every business starts in a different place, so we do not sell the same checklist to everybody. Depending on what we find, the work can include:

AI Visibility Audit

Testing the questions that matter to your business across ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, and recording who comes back.

AI SEO

Improving the search foundations that AI-powered search still relies on.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)

Making your business easier to discover and use within generated answers.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)

Content built around the questions prospects ask and the answers they need before making a decision.

Entities & Structured Data

Making the people, services, locations and clients connected to your business clearer and more consistent, on the page and in the markup machines read.

Authority & Measurement

Strengthening the evidence around your business through genuine reviews, projects and third-party coverage, then tracking visibility against visits, enquiries and revenue.

Case studies

We were building businesses for search before AI search had a name.

A lot of the work that helps a business appear in AI search starts with making it clearer and more credible online in the first place. Here are three examples.

Bond Brickwork

We have worked on Bond Brickwork’s search presence since 2018. Rather than chasing broad traffic, the focus has been the work Bond actually wants from developers and main contractors. Major housing developments, masonry packages, project locations, capabilities and evidence from real sites. That has helped Bond rank at the top of Google for valuable commercial searches and build the sort of online presence that AI search can understand and recommend.

RB Electrical

RB Electrical did not need thousands of meaningless visits. They needed people looking for specific electrical services and EV charging work. We built the search strategy around those services and gave each one enough useful information to stand on its own. The organic work has averaged around two leads a week over five years and delivered roughly £5 back for every £1 invested.

Results that matter

We don’t pretend an AI answer is a fixed ranking.

Ask the same AI question on different days and you can get a different response. So we do not turn that into a fake position number and tell you that you have moved from fourth to third. Instead, we monitor the things that actually tell us whether your visibility is improving.

  • Are you being mentioned?

    We track whether your business appears for the questions that matter and how often competitors appear alongside you.

  • What is being said?

    Being mentioned for the wrong reason is not a win. We look at how the business is described and whether important services, locations and strengths are understood correctly.

  • What sources are appearing?

    When sources are shown, they give us useful clues about where AI search is finding its information and where the gaps are.

  • Is anybody visiting the website?

    Where referral data is available, we look at traffic coming from AI search alongside ordinary organic search.

  • Is it producing enquiries?

    Visibility is useful. Revenue is better. We keep the commercial outcome in view rather than stopping at another dashboard metric.

One joined-up approach

AI search works better when the rest of your marketing is doing its job.

We are not an AI Search Agency that stops at a spreadsheet of prompts.

If the website needs fixing, we can fix it. If your positioning is unclear, we can work on it. If you need stronger project photography, case studies, video, SEO, social content or paid marketing, that can all sit within the same plan.

The aim is not to collect marketing services. It is to get the right parts working together so more of the right people discover your business and have enough confidence to contact you.

One team. One direction. No passing you between different suppliers.

AI search FAQs

Straight answers about AI search.

What is an AI Search Agency?

An AI Search Agency works on how businesses are discovered and represented within AI-powered search and answer platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity.

The work usually overlaps heavily with SEO, content, technical optimisation, digital authority and brand visibility.

Our approach is to improve those foundations rather than pretend there is a secret method for forcing an AI system to mention you.

What are GEO and AEO?

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation. AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation.

Both describe work aimed at increasing visibility in systems that answer questions directly rather than simply returning a traditional list of search results.

We use the terms because people search for them, but we are more interested in the work than the acronym.

Is AI SEO different from normal SEO?

Yes and no. Strong traditional SEO remains an important foundation for AI search.

The difference is that we also look at how clearly your business is understood, the questions people ask conversationally, the information available away from your own website and whether your wider online footprint supports what you claim.

Good SEO and good AI search optimisation should support each other.

Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No. Neither can anybody else.

There is no legitimate button we can press to force ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or another model to recommend a particular company.

What we can do is improve the factors we can influence and measure whether your visibility changes afterwards.

Do I need special AI schema or an llms.txt file?

There is no magic file or markup that guarantees an appearance in AI search.

We still use appropriate structured data, because it helps machines understand what is already on the page. But there is plenty of noise around new tags and technical tricks whenever search changes, and we would rather spend your time on things with a stronger reason to exist.

Which AI platforms do you monitor?

Our AI visibility work can cover ChatGPT, Google AI search experiences, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity.

The exact mix depends on your audience and where your customers are most likely to search.

What if my industry is traditional?

Then test it. Ask an AI assistant who it would recommend for the service you sell.

If it names competitors, directories or other businesses and leaves you out, there is already something worth investigating.

You do not have to wait for everybody in your industry to start talking about GEO.

How quickly can AI search visibility improve?

It depends on the problem. A technical issue can sometimes be fixed quickly.

Building stronger content, authority and third-party evidence takes longer.

We would rather give you a realistic picture after looking at the business than invent a three-month promise before we have seen anything.

Where is Halizona based?

We are based in Halifax, West Yorkshire.

Our AI search work can be delivered across the UK because most of it takes place across your website, search presence, content and wider digital footprint.

What does AI search optimisation cost?

It depends on what is already in place.

Some businesses mainly need an audit and a handful of changes. Others have technical problems, weak content or very little authority around them and need more work.

We start by looking at the current position and then recommend what is actually worth doing.

UK AI Search Agency

Based in Yorkshire. Working with businesses across the UK.

Halizona is based in Halifax and works with businesses throughout Yorkshire and further afield. AI search itself is not particularly interested in where our desk is. So whether you are in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Glasgow, Bristol, Sheffield, Newcastle or somewhere considerably smaller, we can work on the same problem. What matters is where your customers are and what they ask when they are looking for a business like yours.

  • Manchester

See where you stand

Ask AI who it recommends. Then ask why you aren’t there.

Try the question your best customer might ask. If your competitors come back and you don’t, send us what you asked. We will look at your website, your wider search presence and what the AI is using, then tell you where we think the gaps are. No promise of magic rankings. Just a proper look at what is happening and what we can improve.
