What a website does for AI visibility
A website is the source Google and AI assistants read about your business: what you do, where and for whom. Google's generative AI features rely on its core Search ranking and quality systems; from Google's perspective, optimizing for them is still SEO. That is why every package starts with clear service pages, structured data and Search Console.
Your Google Business Profile works next to the site. Google says Merchant Center feeds and Business Profiles can help products and services appear in AI responses, so the profile is part of every package. We also add an llms.txt file as a reference for AI tools. Google Search ignores llms.txt: it neither helps nor harms visibility there.
AI answers draw on many sources beyond your own site: reviews, directories and articles. In our study of 77 companies from the public ESA BIC Noordwijk incubatee and alumni listings, only 1.2% of 1,798 logged citations pointed to the companies' own websites. To grow that wider presence, AI visibility is the next step, and the Free AI Visibility Check shows where you stand today.

FAQ
How much does a small business website cost?
Start is from €690, Plus from €990 and Local from €1,590, one-time, excluding VAT. Custom covers larger sites, online shops and integrations, and is priced after a call. The final price depends on pages, languages and features and is fixed in your proposal.
Will my business show up in ChatGPT or Google's AI answers?
Your site and Google Business Profile give Google and AI assistants a clear, readable source about your business. Google's generative AI features rely on its core Search ranking and quality systems, and Google says Business Profiles can help products and services appear in AI responses. The engines choose what they show, and reviews and other sites also shape the answer.
Who owns the domain, the code and the Google profile?
You do. The domain is registered in your name, on your account, and your Google Business Profile and all third-party accounts belong to you. After full payment, the code goes to your GitHub account as a copy of the repository.
What do you need from me to start?
Your logo, services and prices, photos of your work, trust details such as certificates or warranties, and your address and opening hours. We structure and edit what you give us; copy written from scratch can be added in your proposal.
How long does a project take?
We set the timing in your proposal. It starts once we have your materials, access and the first payment.
Can you rebuild or move an existing site?
Yes. We can rebuild your current site or move it to a new platform. Larger rebuilds and migrations usually fall under Custom.
What about Google Ads and social media?
Google Ads is a separate service with its own scope, and you pay media spend directly to Google. Our work covers websites, search, Maps and AI visibility; social media management, Meta campaigns, email marketing and LinkedIn outreach are outside our services.
