- Named team and a clear AI visibility service
Cons

AI visibility service
Sells it as its own serviceWork to get your store named in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
AI SEO / GEO. Measures citation share, rewrites source pages, adds structured data, so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews cite you
Client proof: No client result from AI search shown on the site.
Read their service pageOur take: The safest pick in Australia on evidence, especially if a replatform is part of the job. Its own AI visibility lags its reputation, which is worth asking about if AI search matters to you.
