Get found on Google.
Get recommended by AI.

You are not imagining it. You search your own trade and your own town, and there is a firm three streets away sitting above you that you know for a fact is neither busier nor better than you are.

There is usually a reason, and usually more than one. The free Google listing that decides whether you show up on the map was filled in the week you opened and never touched since. Your website describes the job the way you say it, not the way a customer types it. Your phone number is different on four different websites, and one of them is a directory you never signed up to.

None of it is mysterious. It is just nobody’s job, so nobody does it.

We publish the nine reasons that cover most of it. Free to read, and every one comes with a check you can run on your own phone tonight.

Somebody in Fenham needs an electrician tonight. A few years ago they typed it into Google and got ten links and a map. Now plenty of them open ChatGPT, or read the AI summary sitting above Google’s own results, and get one short answer with three or four firms named in it.

You are either in that answer or you are not. There is no page two of a sentence.

And when you are not in it, somebody else is — usually a firm whose details are clear, consistent and easy to check. Not necessarily a better firm than yours.

We check ChatGPT, Google’s AI answers, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. That is the whole list and it does not change month to month, so you can count them against your report. You will see this work called AI visibility, AI search optimisation, GEO, AEO or LLM SEO — all the same job.

Nobody can promise you a recommendation, and you should walk away from anyone who does. There is no list to join, and nobody selling this has a line into OpenAI or Google. What we promise is narrower: ask an assistant about your business by name, and it describes you correctly. Everything we find, you see — including the answers that do not flatter us.

Why ChatGPT names somebody else → How the AI search work is done →

Most firms bolted the letters “AI” onto an existing search page last year. The two overlap, but they are not the same job, and doing one well does not do the other.

Google puts you in a queue. Being eighth still puts you on the page, and somebody scrolling will still find you.

An assistant writes one sentence with a few names in it. Being eighth puts you nowhere at all.

That is why we do not sell them separately. One fee, one piece of work, both jobs.

The Google and local search work →

The usual order in this trade is that you pay first and find out what is wrong afterwards. We do it the other way round: the looking is free, and the fee starts when you ask us to fix it. If you take the answers and do nothing, that is a perfectly good outcome and you owe us nothing.

That list is the whole free check and it does not grow or shrink. The first six are about whether machines can read you at all. The next three are your own public records and your own listing, checked field by field. Three turn on other people — who mentions you, whether they have your details right, and whether they describe you the way you describe yourself, and that group is usually what decides whether an assistant will say your name. The last two are your Facebook and Instagram profiles, because the same systems read those and a stale one argues with the rest of you.

What is not in the free check, said plainly: the AI questions. Those are your own questions, in your customers’ words, put to all five assistants — and they start when the work starts, rather than before you have decided anything.

We ran the first one on ourselves before selling it to anybody, and we will give you both halves of what came back. Meeri Systems Ltd was incorporated in July 2026. Within weeks, with no clients, no reviews and no press coverage, ChatGPT could already name the company, say what it does, say where it works and say that it was new — from the website and the public registers alone. In the same set of answers it got our pricing wrong, and told somebody they would have to ring us for a number when every price has been published since the first day. That is the honest half, and it is the better argument. Being known is reachable by the technical work. Every last detail being right takes the source work, which is what the monthly fee is, and it is why the first commitment is written down rather than hoped for.

Any agency can guarantee you number one. It takes about a minute. Pick a search term nobody types, rank you for it, screenshot the result and put it in a monthly report. The ranking is real. The customers are imaginary.

So before you sign anything with anybody, ask one question: which exact search term, in writing, before we start? It is a fair question to put to us as well, and the answer to it belongs in writing rather than on a phone call.

Now think about what a promise like that would mean if it could actually be kept. If the top of Google could be bought, it would go to whoever paid the most for it. A national chain with a five-figure monthly budget would take every search worth having, and a two-van firm in Byker would never appear above them for anything, ever.

The only reason you can compete at all is that the position is not for sale. It goes to whoever answers the question best — and on a local search that is very often the small business that actually does the work, has the reviews from people down the road, and knows which street the customer means. When somebody offers to sell you a ranking, look at the system they are describing. You would lose in it every time.

The check is free. Then, if you want the faults fixed rather than just listed, £150 starts the work — access set up, your listing corrected, and a first pass at the faults, starting from the top of the ranked list in your check. The first month’s plan is agreed at the same time. After that it is £300 a month for one location to carry it on: the corrections that take longer than a first pass, the AI questions asked and captured month after month, and the report. Two locations is £300 to start and then £550 a month. A website, an app, or both is £0 upfront for a standard Meeri system and £39 a month, with standard online booking inside it where you use it — and if you take visibility, its monthly replaces the £39 rather than being added to it. No VAT to add, because Meeri Systems Ltd is not VAT registered.

Three or more locations is the one price not on this website. It is quoted for you instead, because what moves it is how far apart the branches are rather than how many there are — and you get the figure in writing before you commit to anything. That is not the same as a price being kept back until somebody gets you on a call.

Where that fee stops, so you are not guessing. It buys a first pass, not every fault on the list — the check ranks them, we start at the top, and whatever does not fit carries into the monthly work rather than being forgotten. Anything only you can authorise, like a directory login that is yours or a change on a site somebody else controls, is named for you and waits rather than being counted as done. And anything outside the agreed work, such as new pages, is quoted in writing before it starts, never afterwards.

Ask the last three agencies that emailed you for their prices and see how long it takes to get a number. Most will not put one in front of you before a call, and the ones that do tend to publish a single monthly retainer with a minimum term attached to it. Everything here is published, there is nothing underneath it, and the service runs on a 30-day rolling notice basis — which is the simplest way to prove nothing is being kept back until you are on a call.

Every price, what each one buys, and what is excluded →

We are on Wingrove Road in NE4 — not a national firm with a Newcastle upon Tyne landing page and a London phone number. The address is on the contact page and it is a real one.

The city’s name is also one of the cheapest fixes on this list. If your website says “Newcastle” and never says “Newcastle upon Tyne”, the word on its own is ambiguous — there is a Newcastle in New South Wales, ten thousand miles away, a Newcastle-under-Lyme in Staffordshire and a Newcastle in County Down. Writing it in full removes the ambiguity for search engines and AI models alike, and it costs nothing.

We cover Tyneside and the wider North East — Gateshead, Sunderland and County Durham — and we take work anywhere in the UK. It happens over email, phone and shared documents, so where you are makes no difference to it.

SEO in Newcastle upon Tyne →

Our main work is Google and AI search. But businesses need a new site for the same handful of reasons every time — the last agency has gone quiet, the login is not theirs, updates break things, or there is simply nothing there. So websites get built here as one-off projects, and they get built so that search engines and AI assistants can read them properly from the first day rather than as a retrofit eighteen months later.

Websites → Online booking and quotes → Starting a business →

One director, one company number, one phone. No account manager translating your business to somebody you never meet. No junior learning on your account. The person who answers when you ring is the person who did the work, and if it was wrong they cannot pass it along a corridor.

This will not stay a one-person firm, and growing it is the plan rather than a wish. What it will not do is grow for the sake of a longer About page. Anybody who joins will be a specialist with the same determination to get your business the customers it deserves — and until somebody like that turns up, every job stays with the director whose name is on the company.

And the incentive points the same way as yours, which is rarer than it sounds. A firm that has promised you a ranking needs a number to show you at the end of the month, and there is always a search term that will produce one. Somebody who has promised you the work needs your phone to ring, because that is the only thing that makes you want to pay again next month.

Who does the work at Meeri, and how →

No photography and no video. No text generated wholesale and sold to you as content, and no AI-generated images of you or your premises. No national campaigns and no e-commerce search work — both are a different specialism and a different budget. And we never handle your advertising money: you pay the platform directly and we take nothing from it, ever, nor do we run or manage a budget. Setting a campaign up correctly is something we will do for a business already on a monthly service, quoted in writing before it starts — it is not sold on its own. We do not grow social accounts or make content for them either; what we do is check that your profiles say the right thing, because the AI assistants read those too.
