Executive Summary
Bramley Electrical [name anonymised] appears in two of four major AI search engines when asked about commercial EICR work in their service area, but in neither of the two highest-volume engines (ChatGPT and Gemini). Their two largest competitors appear in three engines each. The single change that would have the highest impact is publishing a dedicated FAQ page on EICR testing for housing associations, structured for AI extraction.

How Your Competitors Are Doing
We ran the same four queries against your two largest commercial competitors. Here's where they appear and where they don't:
| AI Engine | Competitor A | Competitor B |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | ● Cited | — |
| Perplexity | — | ● Cited |
| Gemini | — | — |
| Google AI Overview | — | — |
Both competitors are partially visible but neither has built dedicated AEO foundations. With targeted FAQ pages and structured citations, you can move from partial visibility to consistent first-citation status across all four engines within 90 days.

Three Priority Fixes
Ranked by impact-to-effort ratio. The first is the single most important change for your business.
01
Publish a dedicated 'EICR testing for housing associations' FAQ page
AI engines preferentially cite FAQ-structured content when answering 'who can I hire for X' questions. A 12-question FAQ page specifically targeting housing association procurement managers would be quoted within 30 days based on our tracking of similar implementations.
Estimated impact: High
Estimated effort: 2–3 weeks
02
Add LocalBusiness and Service schema markup to your homepage and primary service pages
Your current site has no structured data. AI engines can't reliably parse who you are, what you do, or where you operate. Adding the right schema is a one-day technical fix with disproportionate compounding benefit.
Estimated impact: High
Estimated effort: 1–2 days
03
Build a Reddit and Quora citation footprint
AI engines (especially ChatGPT) heavily weight Reddit and Quora as authoritative sources. There are currently 14 unanswered Reddit and Quora questions about commercial EICR work where your business would be a credible answer. Targeted, helpful answers over 6–8 weeks would compound.
Estimated impact: Medium
Estimated effort: Ongoing — 1 hour/week

Four AI engines tested

04
Three fixes prioritised
From dozens of possible improvements, we identify the three that would move your AI visibility fastest — ranked by impact-to-effort.
03 — Who This Is For
This audit is for tradesmen who want to be findable.
It's particularly valuable if you're already getting some work through Google but you're invisible in AI search. Or if you've heard about AEO but don't know what it means in practice for your business.
Good fit if
- You're a UK tradesman with at least one year of trading
- You have a website (even an old one is fine)
- You serve customers within a defined area, not nationwide
- You're curious about AI search but unclear what to do about it
- You'd rather see proof than be sold to
Probably not a fit if
- You're not based in the UK
- You've launched in the last 30 days (give it a bit longer first)
- You only do work for friends and family — you don't need search visibility
- You're a high-volume national chain (we serve sole traders and small commercial operators)
04 — Questions
Audit questions, answered.
Is the audit really free?
Yes. There's no payment, no card details, no hidden upsell. We use the audit as our top-of-funnel marketing — about 30–40% of people who receive one end up working with us, but the other 60% take the PDF and implement the fixes themselves. That's fine. We'd rather give away genuinely valuable work and earn trust than chase prospects who weren't ready.
How long does it take to receive?
We deliver every audit within 5 working days of your request, usually faster. If we hit a busy week we'll email you with a confirmed delivery date within 24 hours of your submission.
Will you call me to 'discuss next steps'?
No. The audit is delivered as a PDF to your inbox. If you want to talk after reading it, you book a call at your own pace. We won't follow up by phone unless you specifically request it.
What if my website is terrible and I'm embarrassed?
Then this audit is especially for you. Most of the trades we audit have outdated websites with no schema, no FAQ pages, and no AI presence. That's not unusual — it's the starting point for almost everyone. The audit identifies fixes, not faults.
Do I need to know anything about SEO or AEO to read it?
No. The PDF is written for tradesmen, not for marketing people. Every recommendation is explained in plain English, with the 'why' before the 'how'. If anything in the audit doesn't make sense, just message us — we'll explain it.
What's the catch?
Honestly, none. The audit is genuinely valuable on its own and most people could implement the fixes themselves with enough effort. If after reading it you decide you'd rather we did the work, we have monthly packages from £150. If you don't, you keep the PDF and the time you saved researching this yourself.
