Your customers are asking AI who to use

When someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation, it names only a handful of businesses. Generative engine optimisation, or GEO, is the work of making sure yours is one of them. It builds on good SEO, so you stay strong on Google too.

Signs AI may be passing you by

You ask ChatGPT for a business like yours in your town, and competitors appear instead.
Your website has never been checked for AI crawler access.
Your address, phone number or description differ across directories.
Your pages take a while to get to the point.
You have no way of telling whether AI mentions you at all.

If two or more sound familiar, an audit is a gentle, low cost place to start.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been working with Phoenix Marketing this year to help improve not only ticket sales to our Mud Monsters Run event that happens every year but to improve all aspects of our marketing from the website, to social media, local awareness, paid advertising and beyond. The team could not have been more welcoming and positive, I trusted them and had total confidence in them from day one! Both Stuart and Tommy have gone above and beyond at every stage and their ideas have been game changing. The website updates and changes to boost the SEO have made a world of difference, our traffic is up and the number of customers quoting ‘Google’ as the place they found us has never been this high. Our runner numbers are up, social interaction is much higher and the website is performing better than ever. Not only that, the run has become even more meaningful thanks to initiatives from the team with their contacts and local network.  We are helping schools to fundraise and working with local charities such as the Sussex Cancer Fund which is such a wonderful charity to be able to help and has grown our presence even more. I cannot fault Phoenix Marketing and I look forward to continuing our journey, I am so excited about what could happen next, I only wish we had started working with them sooner.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Phoenix Media Marketing has been a genuinely positive and valuable experience for our business. We engaged Stuart and his team to manage and develop our social media presence, and from the outset they brought fresh ideas, clear structure and a strong understanding of how to position our brand within the local community. What really stood out was their focus on promoting our team and the people behind the business. This helped us present a more personal and approachable image, which is incredibly important in financial services where trust and relationships matter so much. The content felt authentic, professional and aligned with our values. Phoenix also encouraged us to get more involved in community activity, charity campaigns and interactive content such as competitions, which significantly increased engagement and local visibility. These initiatives not only strengthened our brand presence but also contributed to generating new enquiries and client relationships over time. Stuart and the Phoenix team were proactive, creative and very easy to work with. They took the time to understand our business, our goals and our culture, and tailored their approach accordingly. It felt like a true partnership rather than a supplier relationship. I would happily recommend Phoenix Media Marketing to any business looking to improve their marketing, strengthen their brand and build meaningful connections within their community.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results I've seen since working with Phoenix Marketing. As a life coach and RTT Therapist specializing in helping overwhelmed and exhausted women, I knew I needed to improve my online presence to reach more potential clients. My website's SEO was in dire need of attention, and that's where Phoenix Marketing came in. From our initial consultation, the team at have been professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They took the time to understand my business goals and the specific challenges I was facing. Their comprehensive SEO strategy included a thorough audit of my website, keyword optimization, and content enhancements that were tailored to my niche. Within just a few months, I noticed a significant improvement in my website's search engine rankings. My site traffic increased, and most importantly, I began attracting more clients locally who were genuinely interested in my coaching services. The personalized approach Stuart and his team took made all the difference. They didn't just apply generic solutions but crafted a strategy that resonated with my target audience. Their expertise in SEO has not only boosted my online visibility but also enhanced the overall user experience on my website. I now receive consistent inquiries and have successfully converted many of these leads into long-term clients. The boost in client engagement and the steady growth in my business are direct results of Phoenix Marketing's exceptional work. I wholeheartedly recommend this fantastic team to any business owner looking to improve their SEO and Social Media to attract more clients. Their dedication, expertise, and results-driven approach have been invaluable to my business growth. Thank you, Phoenix Marketing, for helping me reach new heights!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Phoenix Marketing supported the launch of our new practice in Peacehaven. Stu clearly knows his stuff and has surrounded himself with a team of great people. I really enjoy working with him, and find his enthusiasm and energy infectious. It was fascinating to see the statistics building and changing, as they got stuck in, and the reach we achieved was beyond my hopes. Can't thank you enough, guys. Dr Julia Mewes, The Mewes Vets

SEO questions we are often asked

How long does SEO take to work?

Most businesses start seeing measurable movement within three to six months, with results building steadily as technical fixes, content and authority compound over time. Anyone promising overnight rankings isn’t being straight with you.

Do I need all four pillars, or just one?

It depends on where your site currently stands. A full technical audit in the discovery phase tells us exactly where the real opportunity is — sometimes that’s one pillar, often it’s a combination.

Is SEO better than paid advertising?

They serve different purposes. PPC gets you instant visibility while SEO builds; run together, they tend to outperform either alone. We can advise on the right balance for your goals and budget.

We don't run one strategy for every client. Your approach is built around your business, your market, and a full audit of where your site currently stands - not a templated checklist.

Not at all. We regularly manage multi-location strategies, ensuring each area you serve gets the visibility and structure it needs to rank in its own right.

What do I get in reporting?

A clear, jargon-free monthly update covering rankings, traffic and what’s coming next – the same reporting principle that runs through everything we do.
