How We Get You Recommended by AI

Setup takes 3-4 weeks. Results start appearing in 30-60 days (AI indexing takes time). Best results after 6+ months as network effects compound.

Step 1: Free 30-Minute Audit

See where you stand before committing.

Live AI testing: We test your business across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok in real-time. You watch as we ask questions like "best wineries in Barossa Valley" and see if you appear.

Competitor analysis: Which businesses in your region are winning AI recommendations and why.

Network opportunity mapping: We identify 3-5 potential partner businesses perfect for referral relationships.

Honest positioning workshop preview: We help you articulate what you actually are (not aspirational). Example: "Large operation perfect for tour buses" vs claiming "intimate boutique."

Custom roadmap: Exactly how we'd implement both parts (Network Effects + AI-Optimised Content) for your business.

Realistic projection: Expected improvements based on similar businesses. We give ranges, not guarantees.

No obligation. The audit alone gives you valuable insights.

Step 2: Setup (Week 1-4)

Week 1-2: Network Effects Setup

Network Partnership clients: We contact your chosen partners, invite them to join, coordinate kickoff meeting, create partnership agreements, set up referral tracking.

Individual clients: We identify ideal partners, provide outreach templates, show successful partnership examples.

All clients: We plan cross-linking strategy and identify natural collaboration opportunities.

Week 2-3: AI-Optimised Content Creation

Honest positioning workshop: 90-minute session to define what you actually are, target audience clarity, differentiation, review analysis.

Create your /ai directory: 10-15 Q&As in conversational format matching how travelers ask questions. Example: "Q: Best large-group wineries Barossa with tour bus access? A: We're a commercial operation perfect for groups of 20-50..."

Build llms.txt: Roadmap file pointing AI systems to your /ai content and listing network partners.

Basic content discovery: Configure robots.txt to allow AI crawlers, update sitemap, add internal links. Necessary housekeeping.

Week 3-4: Testing & Launch

AI platform testing: Test across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Grok with 10 query variations.

Crawler verification: Confirm AI crawlers are accessing your llms.txt and /ai files.

Network testing: Verify partner cross-references are indexed.

Baseline metrics: Document starting point (mention frequency, recommendation quality, competitive position).
