🧰 Before you start
- Access to edit your website
- A Google Business Profile (free)
- A few happy customers willing to leave reviews
🪜 Step by step
- 1☐
Test where you stand
Ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok the questions your buyers ask, e.g. 'best property investment firm in KL for UK property'. Note who gets mentioned.
- 2☐
Let AI search tools read your site
Ask your web person to check your robots.txt (a file that tells robots what they may read) doesn't block OAI-SearchBot (ChatGPT's search robot) or other AI crawlers.
- 3☐
Write plain answer pages
Create pages that answer common questions directly: services, prices or price ranges, areas served, how it works.
- 4☐
Claim your Google Business Profile
Fill in every field, add photos and keep opening hours correct.
- 5☐
Collect genuine reviews
Ask happy clients to review you on Google and relevant directories.
- 6☐
Get mentioned elsewhere
Local news, partner sites, case studies and directories all help AI trust you.
- 7☐
Re-test monthly
Repeat step 1 each month and track if you appear more.
💬 Copy-paste prompts
Tap Copy prompt, paste it into your AI (Grok, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini), then replace the [yellow bits] with your own details.
I run [business] in [city] serving [customers]. List the 20 questions potential customers are most likely to ask an AI assistant before choosing a business like mine. Group them by stage: just researching, comparing options, ready to buy.
Write a clear web page answering "[question]" for [business]. Use a question-style heading, a 2-sentence direct answer first, then details, prices in MYR where relevant, a short FAQ (5 questions) and contact details. Plain British English, no hype.
⚠️ Tips & common mistakes
