What makes this industry different
The problems specific to professional services
- 01
Expertise is invisible to machines
A firm's value lives in judgement, specialisms and track record, usually described in general language AI cannot tie to a specific question. Full service reads as no service in particular.
- 02
Referrals now start with a search
Even a warm referral gets checked. The client asks AI about the firm, and what comes back decides whether they call.
- 03
Every profession has its own rules
Lawyers, accountants and financial advisers each work under their own conduct rules on claims, testimonials and specialisation. Generic marketing breaks them.
Chosen before the first call
Professional services have always been bought on trust, and trust used to be built in meetings. Now much of it forms before the first call, in a conversation with an AI assistant about who is good at a specific thing in a specific place.
The firms that come up are not always the best. They are the ones whose websites say clearly what they do, for whom, and who does it.
What we build
A website organised around the problems you solve and the people who solve them. Each specialism, practitioner and relevant piece of experience is published so a machine can match it to a client’s question. Then the AI visibility work that puts the firm in the answer, written within the rules your profession sets.
The rules for this industry
Professional services carry their own advertising rules. Legal practitioners are bound by their state's conduct rules on advertising and claims of specialisation, tax agents by the Tax Practitioners Board and financial advisers by ASIC. We write within the rules of your profession, and anything describing a specialisation or an outcome is checked with you before it is published.
Answers
Professional services, answered
Is AI visibility relevant for a professional services firm?
Increasingly so. Clients ask AI assistants which firm to use for a specific problem in a specific place. The firms named are the ones that publish their specialisms, people and experience in a form a machine can match to the question.
We get most of our work from referrals. Why does this matter?
Because referrals are now checked. A client given your name looks you up, often by asking AI, and what comes back either confirms the referral or sends them elsewhere. A clear, readable site protects the referrals you already earn.
Can you help if our work is mostly business to business?
Yes. Business buyers research the same way, just with more steps. We structure the site around the problems you solve and the sectors you serve, so an assistant can match you to a specific question rather than a generic category.
Do you know the advertising rules for our profession?
We work within them, and we will ask you about any that are specific to your registration. Claims about specialisation, outcomes and testimonials are the usual trip points, and we check anything in those areas with you before it goes live.
