Be the Manufacturer AI Recommends.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini now shortlist suppliers before buyers ever reach Google. We structure your capability content, schema, and llms.txt so AI quotes you - with attribution that turns into RFQs.
The shortlist moved. Most industrial sites didn't.
A growing share of procurement research now starts with a prompt, not a search box. Models answer from structured facts and trusted citations - exactly what most manufacturing websites fail to provide.
-
Thin pages give AI nothing to quote
AI answers cite specific, structured facts. A 200-word Services page with no processes, materials, or numbers gives models nothing to lift - so they cite your competitor instead.
-
AI crawlers hit a locked door
No llms.txt, patchy schema, content buried where machines cannot parse it. Human visitors cope; answer engines move on to a site they can read.
-
Mentions without attribution
Being named is not the same as being recommended with a link buyers can follow. We earn named citations on the industry sources, directories, and publications that answer engines treat as authoritative.
-
Buyers ask AI first
Procurement shortlists increasingly start in ChatGPT or Perplexity, not Google. Ranking first means little if the answer box names someone else.
AI visibility, built on SEO - not sold as a trick.
Answer engines reward the same foundations as search engines: structure, specifics, and corroboration. We build all three, then measure what the models say.
Pairs with: SEO for Manufacturing · Content Writing
AI-readable site structure
Clean semantic HTML, crawlable pages, and sitemaps machines parse first time. If an AI crawler cannot read it, it cannot cite it.
Capability content models quote
Process, material, and sector pages written as citable facts: capacities, tolerances, lead times, certifications - the specifics answers are built from.
llms.txt and schema layer
A machine-readable front door for your site plus structured data on every page. We ship llms.txt on every build - most competitors have never heard of it.
Named citations and PR
Get your business named, quoted, and linked on the industry sources buyers trust - the references answer engines check before they recommend.
AI visibility tracking
We monitor what ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini say about your business and your competitors, and report movement in plain English.
Reviews buyers trust
Structured review collection on the platforms procurement actually checks. Third-party proof carries weight with humans and models alike.

What is AI search optimisation (GEO) for manufacturers?
It is the work of making your business the one AI answer engines cite when buyers ask who to shortlist. That means structured capability content, machine-readable pages, schema, llms.txt, and named citations - the same foundations as SEO, aimed at a new reader: the model.
How do ChatGPT and Perplexity choose which manufacturers to cite?
They favour specific, structured, corroborated facts: clear capability pages, consistent business information across trusted sources, and named mentions on authoritative industry sites. Vague marketing copy gets skipped; detailed capability content gets quoted.
Can our current website appear in AI answers without a rebuild?
Sometimes. If the structure is sound, an audit will show whether targeted additions - capability pages, schema, llms.txt, citations - are enough. If the site cannot be parsed reliably, no amount of optimisation will make models trust it, and we will tell you so.
What is llms.txt and does our site need one?
It is a plain-text map of your site written for AI crawlers: what you do, where the key pages are, how to cite you. Every site we build ships one. Without it, models guess from whatever they can scrape - usually badly.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
We track which models cite you, for which buyer questions, against which competitors - and report it alongside RFQs, not vanity counts. If citations do not turn into enquiries, the strategy changes.
Is AI search replacing Google for industrial buyers?
No - it sits in front of it. Buyers shortlist in AI, then verify on Google and your website. You need both: citations to get shortlisted, rankings and a credible site to close. That is why our AI work is built on SEO foundations, not sold as a separate trick.
When buyers ask AI who to shortlist, your business is not named - your competitors are.
Models cite structured facts and trusted sources, not the loudest marketing. Most industrial sites give them neither.
Capability content written as citable facts, machine-readable structure, llms.txt, and named citations on sources buyers trust.
Your business quoted in AI answers with attribution buyers can follow - straight to your RFQ form.
