Frequently Asked Questions
Who AIVisCity Is For
Q1. Who is AIVisCity created for?
AIVisCity is designed for small UK business owners, freelancers, and independent creators who have noticed that being “found online” feels harder than it used to be. If your website, shop, or service used to attract customers through search or social media but now feels invisible, you’re exactly who we built this city for.
Q2. Do I need to understand AI or technology to take part?
Not at all. AIVisCity is being built for business owners, not tech experts. Everything we do aims to explain AI visibility in plain, human language — the same way you’d talk about your business to a friend.
Q3. What stage of business is this for?
From hobbyists testing their first online shop to specialists running established local practices — AIVisCity focuses on helping small and growing businesses adapt to how discovery works in the AI era.
Q4. Why do you call it a city?
Because visibility isn’t built in a day. AIVisCity uses a “city-building” metaphor to show progress — one district, one improvement at a time.
Why AI Visibility Matters
Q1. What does “AI visibility” mean in simple terms?
AI visibility is how clearly AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity can recognise and describe your business when someone asks a question — even if they never visit your website. It’s the next layer of being discoverable online.
Q2. Why are small businesses struggling with visibility now?
Because customers increasingly get answers directly from AI assistants instead of browsing websites. That shift means many great local businesses aren’t being shown — not because they lack quality, but because AI systems don’t yet understand or connect their content properly.
Q3. Isn’t this just SEO under a new name?
No — it’s related, but different. SEO focuses on ranking in Google or Bing results. AI visibility focuses on how AI systems interpret and summarise your business. Both matter, but the new challenge is that AI assistants often don’t show links — they just give answers.
Q4. Why is AIVisCity focusing on this now?
We believe this change is too important to ignore. Many UK small businesses will lose digital reach without even realising why. AIVisCity was created to make this issue visible — and to explore simple, practical ways to fix it together.
Q5. What’s the link between AI visibility and local search?
AI assistants often use local data to answer “near me” or service-based queries. Businesses that keep their online information consistent and trustworthy will be better understood — and more likely mentioned — by these AI systems.
What AIVisCity Is Building
Q1. What is AIVisCity actually developing?
We’re currently developing simple tools and stories to empower small businesses see how AI understands them — and how to improve that view step by step through a fun and gamified experience.
Q2. What can I access right now?
Right now, you can join as an early subscriber to get updates, early previews, and first access to the upcoming beta tools. Think of it as being part of a project still under construction — where your feedback helps shape the finished city.
Q3. Will AIVisCity be free?
Joining us now as an early subscriber is free and without any future purchase commitment. We’ll offer priority access to early trials and beta materials. To keep the project sustainable, future toolkits will have an affordable one-time cost — never subscriptions.
Q4. How much time will this take?
Our approach is designed for busy business owners — short, practical actions that can fit into your daily routine. When the toolkit launches, the goal will be something achievable like 30 minutes a day.
Q5. What makes AIVisCity different from agencies or online courses?
Agencies do things for you, and courses talk about theory. AIVisCity aims to sit in between — helping you understand and act on your own visibility, without jargon, pressure, or big fees. We’re still building, but that’s the north star guiding everything we do.
What AIVisCity Is Not
Q1. Is AIVisCity an SEO or marketing agency?
No. We don’t sell marketing services or run ads. AIVisCity aims to empower small UK businesses to navigate the new AI discovery landscape.
Q2. Is AIVisCity a software tool or AI platform?
No — not in the traditional sense. We don’t process your data or act on your behalf. Our focus is helping you understand what’s changing and giving you guidance to take control yourself.
Q3. Will you guarantee results or rankings?
We’d love to promise guaranteed results — but that wouldn’t be honest. Visibility depends on many moving parts, and AI systems evolve quickly. What we can guarantee is clarity and direction.
Q4. Is this a commercial product yet?
Not yet. We’re still in the building stage — testing our first materials and collecting feedback. Joining as an early subscribers means you’ll be part of the early journey as the city grows street by street.
