Local SEO and AI visibility strategy session for a local business
Local SEO and AI visibility for lead generation

Get a steady stream of new customers from Google and AI.

I help local businesses get more leads, calls and booked jobs, by making you the business customers find first on Google, the Map pack and AI tools like ChatGPT.

What I believe

Marketing that gets you customers, not just clicks

Rankings and traffic are nice. Leads pay the bills. Everything I do is tied to enquiries, calls and booked work.

Get found

If customers can't find you, they can't choose you.

Get chosen

Reviews, authority and trust decide who wins the click.

Get leads

Visibility only counts when it turns into enquiries.

Local and human

Real strategy from a real person who picks up the phone.

The way people search changed

Your customers don't just Google any more. They ask AI.

More people find local businesses through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews, and act on the single answer they are given. If the AI does not name you, you are invisible at the exact moment someone is ready to buy.

  • Google alone is not enough. Ranking on page two means customers never see you.
  • The Map pack wins the calls. Three local businesses get most of the clicks. I get you into that three.
  • AI is the new shop window. The businesses building AI visibility now will be impossible to catch later.
A customer asks ChatGPT
"Who's the best [your trade] near me, and can I trust them?"
"Based on reviews and reputation, Your Business is widely recommended...", That sentence is what I engineer.
What I do

Visibility, engineered to bring you leads

Three layers that work together, so you win the searches happening today and the AI answers coming next.

How it works

A clear path from invisible to in-demand

Free lead audit

I map where you stand on Google, the Map pack and AI, and pinpoint where customers are slipping to competitors.

Get found

I build the local SEO, content and trust signals that both Google and AI models reward.

Convert to leads

Rankings and AI mentions grow month on month, and we tie every gain back to real enquiries and booked work.

Results

Real businesses, getting found and getting booked

A few recent wins from businesses I work with. Kept anonymous to respect my clients, but the numbers are real.

Now booked out weeks ahead

A nurse-led aesthetics clinic in the North West pulled 1,500+ more monthly visits than a local rival, and turned that search demand into a full diary.

Visibility you can measure

See exactly where you stand in Google and AI search

I don't guess. I track your visibility across Google, the Map pack and AI tools, watch which sources the AI engines cite in your market, and tie every gain back to enquiries. Your growth is measured, not assumed.

  • Google and Map pack rankings for the searches that bring you work
  • AI visibility and mentions, tracked every month

An independent expert, on your side

I'm Sarah McDonald. I help local businesses get found and chosen online, and turn that into real leads. You work directly with me, not a faceless agency or an offshore team. I only take on businesses I know I can get results for, and everything I do comes back to one question: is this bringing you customers?

Questions

The things business owners ask me

What do you actually do?
I help local businesses get found on Google and AI, and turn that visibility into real leads. That means local SEO, the Google Map pack, AI visibility and the tracking to prove it drives enquiries. See my services.
What types of business do you work with?
Any local business that relies on customers finding them: trades and home services, salons and clinics, restaurants, gyms, dentists, vets and professional services.
What is AI visibility?
It is making sure AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews recommend your business when people ask who to use, alongside your Google and Map pack rankings. Read how local businesses get found on AI.
How quickly will I see results?
Most businesses see compounding movement within 3 to 6 months. Quick wins like your Google Business Profile come sooner, and the gains keep building the longer we work together.
Do I work with you directly?
Yes. You work with me, not a junior or an offshore team. I only take on businesses I am confident I can get results for.
