How much does AI marketing cost for a small business?

Our services start from $97/month for website hosting, $300/month for social media management, and $550/month for Google Maps optimisation. Setup fees vary by service. There are no long-term contracts — cancel any time with 30 days notice.

How long does it take to set up AI marketing for my business?

Most services go live within 48–72 hours of your kickoff call. A professional website typically takes 1–2 days. Social media content is scheduled within 24 hours of approval. AI chat and voice systems are configured and live within 48 hours.

What types of businesses do you work with?

We specialise in local service businesses including dentists, plumbers, hair salons, gyms, restaurants, real estate agents, and other trades and health professionals. Any small business that depends on customers finding them online can benefit from our services.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract?

No. We operate on a month-to-month basis. You can cancel any service with 30 days written notice. We believe our results speak for themselves — we don't need to lock you in.

What is an AI chat widget and how does it help my business?

An AI chat widget is a smart assistant that lives on your website and automatically answers customer questions, qualifies leads, and books appointments — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It means you never miss an enquiry, even at 2am on a Sunday.

How does Google Maps optimisation work?

We optimise your Google Business Profile with keyword-rich descriptions, photos, and service listings. We build consistent local citations across directories, manage your customer reviews, and publish weekly posts to your profile — all the signals Google uses to rank small businesses.

What is an AI voice receptionist?

An AI voice receptionist answers your phone calls automatically, handles common enquiries, takes messages, and books appointments into your calendar — for a fraction of the cost of a human receptionist. Every call gets answered, and every lead gets followed up.

Will my business appear in ChatGPT and AI search results?

AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews draw from businesses with strong, consistent online presences — active Google profiles, regular content, authoritative websites, and positive reviews. Our full marketing system is designed to build exactly this kind of visibility.

How is AI Agency different from other marketing agencies?

We focus exclusively on AI-powered systems for small businesses. Unlike traditional agencies, we don't just run campaigns — we install automated systems that keep working around the clock. You get transparent monthly reporting, no long-term contracts, and a dedicated team that only takes on clients we know we can help.

How quickly will I see results from AI marketing?

Most clients see measurable improvements within the first 30 days. AI chat widgets typically generate new enquiries within the first week. Google Maps rankings improve within 4–8 weeks. Social media engagement builds over 60–90 days. SEO campaigns compound over 3–6 months.

Why Your Business Needs to Be Visible on AI Search — Not Just Google

The Search Landscape Has Changed

For over two decades, Google has been the front door to every local business. But something massive is shifting — and most business owners haven't noticed yet.

AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity are rapidly becoming the first place people go when they need a recommendation. Instead of scrolling through ten blue links, users are now asking AI assistants questions like:

"What's the best plumber near me?"
"Find me a dentist in Austin that's open on Saturdays"
"Which HVAC company has the best reviews in my area?"

And here's the critical part: AI doesn't show ten results. It shows one or two.

Why This Matters for Your Business

If your business isn't structured in a way that AI can find, understand, and recommend — you're invisible to a growing segment of your market.

The Numbers Are Staggering

ChatGPT has over 200 million weekly active users
40% of Gen Z now prefers TikTok or AI over Google for search
Perplexity processes millions of queries daily, growing 50% month-over-month

This isn't a future trend. It's happening right now.

What AI Search Engines Look For

AI search engines pull from different sources than traditional Google results. They prioritise:

Structured data — Schema markup, JSON-LD, and clean metadata
Consistent NAP — Name, Address, Phone across every directory
Review signals — Volume, recency, and sentiment of reviews
Content depth — Detailed, authoritative content about your services
Local citations — Presence in trusted directories and data aggregators

What You Can Do Today

1. Claim and Optimise Your Google Business Profile

This is still the single most important local asset. Make sure every field is filled, photos are recent, and you're responding to reviews.

2. Add Structured Data to Your Website

JSON-LD markup helps AI understand your business type, location, services, and hours. This is non-negotiable for AI visibility.

3. Build a Content Hub

Create detailed service pages and blog posts that answer common questions in your industry. AI pulls from authoritative content.

4. Get More Reviews — Consistently

Don't just ask once. Build a system that generates a steady stream of fresh reviews across Google, Yelp, and industry-specific platforms.

5. Ensure NAP Consistency

Your business name, address, and phone number should be identical across every platform. Even small discrepancies can hurt your AI visibility.

The Bottom Line

The businesses that act now will dominate AI search results for years to come. The ones that wait will wonder why their phone stopped ringing.

AI search optimisation isn't optional anymore — it's the next frontier of local marketing.
