The problem

Your next customer is asking AI.
Is your name in the answer?

Ask ChatGPT for a dentist, an accountant or a plumber in Birmingham and it typically names a handful of businesses. Everyone else is invisible in that answer. Plenty of people still search Google, and even when they reach your website they may leave without getting in touch.

From the Jewellery Quarter to Digbeth, Edgbaston and the city centre, Birmingham businesses deserve clear, practical advice on getting found online. This initiative is designed to give 1,000 of them a place to start.

01 / AI VISIBILITY

Get recommended by AI

See whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name you, who they name instead, and which sources they trust.

02 / SEARCH

Get found on Google

Find the technical, content and local issues holding back your Google visibility.

03 / CONVERSION

Turn visits into enquiries

Spot the friction that stops visitors booking, buying or contacting you.

The offer

Real research. A practical plan. Expert guidance.

Not a generic website score. Your Playbook puts 10 buyer questions you review and approve to 8 AI experiences including ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity: 160 live AI searches, every question checked twice, with human reviewed priorities.

SearchScore assesses more than 300 signals across AI search visibility, Google search and website conversion. Keep the reports, share them with your team or existing agency, and decide for yourself what to implement.

Why it's free

Built by SearchScore.
For Birmingham businesses.

SearchScore brings together website auditing, AI search research and practical improvement recommendations. We're pledging over £350,000 worth of these services and expert consultations to help 1,000 Birmingham businesses understand how to compete more effectively online.

We want to support local businesses while introducing them to SearchScore's tools. We also offer optional paid implementation and ongoing services, but buying anything is not a condition of participation.

The initiative is organised by SearchScore. It is not an endorsement by Birmingham City Council, the mayor's office or any media organisation.

Questions answered

Questions about the initiative

Is it really free?

Yes. Businesses that take part receive the Playbook, audit, Fix-List and 30-minute consultation at no charge, with no obligation to purchase implementation services.

Who can take part?

Businesses in Birmingham and the surrounding area with a working business website. One package per business, while places last. The first round opens on 12 November and closes on 30 November 2026.

What is an AI Visibility Playbook?

Personalised research into the questions customers ask AI assistants, how competitors appear, which sources influence answers and what you can do to improve visibility.

What happens in the consultation?

We'll discuss your findings, business goals and three high-priority actions. You can implement recommendations yourself or ask about optional support.

Can I use my existing marketing agency?

Absolutely. You can share the reports and recommendations with your existing agency or team.

Will you change my website?

Not as part of the free package. Implementation is optional and separate from the free research and consultation.

How quickly will I receive my reports?

We'll email your delivery date when we confirm your place. Your consultation is booked once your reports are ready.

Are improved rankings or sales guaranteed?

No. The reports identify opportunities and suggested actions, but search positions, AI recommendations and commercial outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
