Artificial intelligence is redefining online discovery in 2025, with SMEs who embrace the change well-positioned to outperform their rivals. Kent-based SEO and AI optimisation experts, Level Up Leads, are enabling smaller businesses to appear in prime positions within Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT’s business recommendations – unlocking premium lead generation potential.
In the past, SEO success meant securing a spot at the top of Google’s search results. Now, AI-led platforms like Google AI and ChatGPT play a central role in buying decisions, delivering direct answers and highlighting businesses that score high on trust, relevance, and authority.
This evolution means SMEs that act now can become go-to recommendations for their target audience – while others risk fading from view in this new AI-driven marketplace.
These recommendations aren’t random; they’re driven by data, content quality, reviews, online authority, and location relevance. Level Up Leads specialises in positioning SMEs so they’re the ones being recommended. This involves:
- Optimising content for AI platforms so it’s clear, relevant, and structured in a way AI understands.
- Building authority signals through backlinks, press coverage, and citations that AI algorithms recognise as trustworthy.
- Embedding local SEO strategies so that when AI looks for nearby businesses, clients are the first choice.
- Adding technical SEO enhancements like schema markup to help AI platforms identify services and location quickly.
- Analysing AI search patterns for their industry and location.
- Creating content and assets that directly answer high-intent search queries.
- Building credibility signals such as 5-star Google reviews, consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data, and mentions in reputable online publications.
- Integrating AI-focused SEO alongside traditional Google optimisation, ensuring visibility in both search and AI Overviews.
- Get ahead of competitors still focusing solely on traditional search rankings.
- Reach customers faster by appearing in the exact moment they’re ready to buy.
- Build trust instantly by being endorsed by leading AI platforms.
- Future-proof their marketing as AI adoption continues to grow across industries.
