1Profile missing services and recent photosAdvisory
The fix

List every service you offer and add new photos each month. Complete profiles are shown for more searches, and to more people nearby.

2Not in the top three for “emergency plumber E17”Fail
The fix

Give emergency call-outs their own page for E17 and the streets around it, and get the business listed on the local directories Google already trusts.

3ChatGPT names three rivals, not this businessFail
The fix

Answer the questions people ask ChatGPT, on your own site, in plain sentences it can quote. Then get mentioned on the sites it already cites.

4Takes 4.1 seconds to load on a mid-range phoneAdvisory
The fix

Shrink the large photos and only load them when they scroll into view. That alone usually halves the wait.

How it works

  1. Test

    We run your Search MOT across Google, Maps, AI answers and your site’s health. You get the sheet, free.

  2. Fix

    We fix the Fails first, then the Advisories, starting with whatever will bring you customers soonest.

  3. Re-test

    Every month we test again on the same sheet, so you can see exactly what moved and what didn’t.

Your copy. Every month.

No dashboards you have to decode. You keep the same sheet, re-tested, showing what moved from Fail to Pass and what we did to move it.

Rewrote the emergency plumbing page. Added 14 services to the Business Profile. Fixed 3 slow images. Next: get cited on two local guides.

Illustrative example, not a real client

No case studies yet. We’re new, and we won’t invent them.

What we can show you is your own business: a before sheet now, and an after sheet every month. Judge us on that.

Questions owners ask

What is a Search MOT?

A plain-English check of how findable your business is. We test your Google rankings, your Google Maps listing, whether AI assistants like ChatGPT mention you, and the technical health of your site. Every item is marked Pass, Advisory or Fail, with what to do next.

Is it really free?

Yes. The first Search MOT costs nothing and you are under no obligation. If you want us to fix what failed, we will quote for it.

What does “AI search” mean for my business?

More people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews who to call. Those answers cite a few businesses. We test whether you are one of them, and make your site easier for them to quote.

How do you report progress?

Every month you get the same sheet, re-tested: what moved from Fail to Pass, what still needs work, and what we did. No jargon and no 40-page PDF.

Do you only work with London businesses?

We are based in London and know local search here well, but we work with businesses across the UK, including online shops that sell nationwide.
