AITECHNIC · Search & AI Visibility

Get found on Google — and inside ChatGPT

Your customers no longer stop at ten blue links. They ask ChatGPT, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews for a recommendation — and take the answer. We run classic technical SEO, local search and AI-answer visibility as one program, and report every task we complete with the live URL attached. No jargon, no lock-in, just results.

  • Month-to-month after the first 90 days
  • Weekly activity sheet with live links
  • Reported on leads, not vanity rankings
  • Sydney-based · Australian businesses

What the off-site work actually is

Most agencies list "backlinks" and leave it there. Here's the plain-English version of each activity type, so you can judge the work rather than just count it.

Brand profile creation

What it is
Creating your business profile on established platforms and communities — name, description, contact details and website link, consistent everywhere.
Why we do it
Search engines and AI models weigh how widely and consistently a brand appears across the web. Consistent profiles are evidence the business is real, active and the same entity everywhere.
What it does for you
Strengthens brand-entity recognition, gives Google and the language models a coherent picture of who you are, and adds crawlable references to your site.

Local citations

What it is
Listing your business on trusted Australian local directories and location-based platforms with matching name, address, phone, category and description.
Why we do it
Google cross-checks your NAP details against local sources to confirm where you operate. Inconsistencies actively suppress map-pack visibility.
What it does for you
Improves local search and Google Maps rankings, and makes you findable on the directories customers still use.

Business listings

What it is
Adding your business to industry and general business directories with full category, service and contact information.
Why we do it
Category-accurate listings help search engines classify what you actually do, not just where you are — which matters for service-intent searches.
What it does for you
Broader discovery surface, stronger category relevance, and more verified references pointing at your site.

Editorial link acquisition

What it is
Earning links from real publications, industry bodies and local media through outreach, expert commentary and genuinely useful content.
Why we do it
This is the category that moves competitive rankings. It's slower and there are fewer of them — which is exactly why it works.
What it does for you
Real authority transfer, referral traffic from qualified readers, and the third-party sources AI models tend to cite.

Google Business Profile

What it is
Ongoing optimisation of your GBP — categories, services, hours, photos, Q&A, weekly posts and review responses.
Why we do it
For most local service businesses the map pack drives more calls than the organic results below it, and GBP is the single biggest lever on it.
What it does for you
More map-pack impressions, more direction requests, more phone calls straight from search.

AI answer visibility

What it is
Tracking the real questions customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and AI Overviews — then doing the structured-data, entity and content work needed to be the cited answer.
Why we do it
A growing share of buying research never reaches a results page. If the model doesn't know you, you're not in the shortlist.
What it does for you
Presence at the point where the recommendation is made, and early warning when a competitor takes your spot.

You see every task, every week

No black box. Two live sheets, updated as the work happens.

Weekly sheet

Activity log

Every placement completed that week, with the live URL and a status you can click and verify yourself.

Master sheet

Running record

The full engagement history — audit, keyword sheet, action plan, approved content pipeline and competitor set, all in one place.

Monthly

Dashboard + summary

Looker Studio on GA4 and Search Console, plus a written plain-English read of what moved and what's next.

Approval

Nothing published blind

Content titles go to you for approval before they're written. You always know what's coming.

One-off projects and add-ons

Not ready for a retainer, or need something specific done once? These stand alone.

AI Discoverability Audit

$1,250 one-off

How visible are you to ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity today? Scored report, gap list and a prioritised fix plan. Credited back in full if you start a retainer within 30 days.

Technical SEO Sprint

$1,750 one-off

Four weeks of concentrated fixes: speed, indexation, schema, internal linking and Core Web Vitals. Ends with a re-crawl and a before/after.

Interactive Lead Tool

from $1,750 per build

A symptom checker, quote calculator or eligibility quiz on your site — the kind of asset that earns links, gets cited by AI models and captures leads that a contact form never would. Full event tracking included.

Migration & Replatform Cover

from $2,250 per project

Pre-launch crawl, redirect map, staging QA and a 60-day post-launch watch. Protects the rankings you already have.

Google Ads Management

from $475 / month + ad spend

Search and Performance Max campaigns built on the same keyword research, sharing conversion tracking with your SEO so you can see which channel actually produced the booking.

Content Sprint

$600 per month

Four extra researched, optimised articles on top of your package — useful when you're pushing into a new service line or suburb.

Extra Location

$325 per location / month

Additional Google Business Profile, suburb landing page, citation set and review workflow for each extra site.

Automation Retrofit

from $1,000 one-off

The AITECHNIC speciality: wire the leads SEO generates into your CRM, quoting tool or booking system so nothing sits in an inbox.

What the first six months look like

Indicative, and it varies with how much technical debt we inherit — but this is the usual shape.

Weeks 1–4

Baseline & fixes

Audit, keyword sheet, tracking that actually works, schema deployed, the obvious technical blockers cleared.

Months 2–3

Impressions move

Long-tail and secondary terms start ranking, local pack visibility lifts. First AI citations typically appear here.

Months 4–6

Commercial terms

The keywords that actually pay start climbing, and lead volume becomes measurable in your CRM.

Month 6+

Compounding

Content and authority stack. Cost per lead falls while volume rises — that's the whole point.

What we won't do

  • We don't guarantee rankings. Anyone who does is either guessing or picking keywords nobody searches for.
  • We don't dress up citations as authority links. Foundational placements build entity trust and local consistency; editorial links move competitive rankings. We report them as two separate numbers, because they do two different jobs.
  • We don't buy links. Editorial placements are earned through outreach, or we don't count them.
  • We don't lock you in. There's a short minimum term so the work has time to land — after that, month to month on 30 days' notice.
  • We don't hand you to a junior. The person in the discovery workshop is the person running the work.
  • We don't report on vanity metrics. Rankings are a means. Calls, form fills and booked jobs are the report.

Common questions

Is "AI search optimisation" actually different from SEO?

It overlaps heavily — good technical foundations and genuinely useful content help in both. But the extra work is real: structured data and entity definition so models can identify you, content shaped as answers rather than essays, presence on the third-party sources models cite, and monitoring prompts rather than keywords. We run them as one program because doing them separately duplicates about 60% of the effort.

Why do you separate "foundational placements" from "editorial links"?

Because they aren't the same product and pretending otherwise is how clients get burned. A profile on a business directory helps confirm your details and category — useful, cheap, and necessary early on. A link from a genuine publication is far harder to get and is what actually shifts a competitive ranking. If an agency quotes you "50 backlinks a month," ask them which of the two they mean.

Why a minimum term if there's no lock-in?

The first 30–60 days are front-loaded with audit and technical work that doesn't show a return yet. A three-month minimum means you see the outcome of what you paid for rather than cancelling mid-build. After that it's month to month with 30 days' notice.

How does this compare to the bigger Sydney agencies?

Similar price, different shape. Larger agencies scope everything custom and typically bolt AI visibility on as an extra. Our packages are fixed-scope so you know exactly what you're buying, AI-answer visibility is in from the first tier, and we can automate what happens to a lead after it arrives — which is a different business from most SEO shops.

What if my site needs rebuilding first?

We'll say so in the discovery workshop rather than take a retainer that can't work. In some cases a build or replatform is the correct first spend, and we can do that too.

Do you work outside Australia?

These packages are built around Australian search behaviour, Google Business Profile and local competition. We take international work case by case.

Start with the audit, not the invoice

A free discovery workshop and a look at where you actually stand in both Google and AI answers. If we can't see a path to a return, we'll tell you that.
