01 — Context

The way customers discover businesses is changing.

Customers now discover businesses through a mix of Google Search, Google Maps, AI-powered answers, review platforms, websites and social media. They may search by your name — but just as often by need, location, preference, occasion or a very specific requirement.

The question is no longer simply whether you have a website. It is whether your digital presence gives enough clear, reliable information for you to be found and considered in the searches that matter.

02 — Scope

What we investigate.

01

AI search and recommendations

What AI-powered platforms say about you, and whether you appear when customers ask for businesses like yours.

02

Google Search visibility

Observed results for branded, category, service and location searches in your markets.

03

Google Maps and business profiles

Completeness and accuracy of your public listing information.

04

Website SEO and technical accessibility

Indexability, structure, structured data, performance and language versions.

05

Website clarity and customer journey

Whether a first-time visitor understands your offer and knows how to act.

06

Business information and online presence

Accuracy and consistency of the public information customers rely on.

07

Business insights and opportunities

What the evidence means for your visibility — and where the opportunities are.

08

A practical, prioritised action plan

What to do now, next and later — with exact steps.

The exact scope depends on the purchased audit and the data available for your business.

Most important findings

  1. Absent from tested queries such as “quiet guesthouse Évora old town” in the UK English market.
  2. AI answers describe the property as having a pool — not confirmed by the website (verified inaccuracy).
  3. Google listing links to a booking platform rather than the direct booking page.
