AI search visibility consultant working with a local business

AI Search Visibility & Digital Strategy · Saffron Walden, Essex

Your customers are already asking AI where to find you. Are you showing up?

Most local businesses aren't. And there's no ad to buy your way in.

Person searching for local services using ChatGPT

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are becoming the new Yellow Pages

When someone asks an AI assistant to recommend a local business — a plumber, an accountant, a consultant nearby — it gives them a name. Either yours comes up, or it doesn't.

Based in Saffron Walden, I work with small businesses across Essex, Cambridgeshire, and the UK to help them appear better in search and show up in AI-generated results from tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. More visibility means more traffic. More traffic, handled right, means more customers.

There's no sponsored slot. No shortcut. You either appear in the answer — or you don't.

Practical AI implementation for small businesses

AI that actually gets used — not just installed

Most small businesses don't need a six-figure AI transformation. They need practical tools that save time and reduce friction, built around how they already work.

I help businesses use AI sensibly — keeping the blog ticking over, handling the daily email load, creating calendar events, automating the small admin tasks that quietly eat an hour a day. Most people don't realise AI can already do this stuff reliably. It can.

  • Keeping your blog and content up to date
  • Managing email volume and standard responses
  • Calendar, scheduling, and admin automation
  • Building simple tools your team will actually use

No account managers. No discovery phases. No playbook downloaded last month.

Grant Dain

Saffron Walden, Essex

Just me. No team. No layers.

I've been doing this for 28 years. Long enough to have seen every trend arrive, get hyped, and settle into something more modest — or disappear entirely. AI isn't disappearing.

I work directly with every client. There's no account manager who'll be briefing me later. When you explain what you need, I'm the one who actually does the work.

Who do I work with? Mainly founders and owner-managers of small businesses who know their digital presence matters but haven't had time — or the right guidance — to get it properly sorted.

Based in Saffron Walden. Work UK-wide, remotely. I've been doing this long enough to know that most businesses don't need more strategy — they need someone to get on with it.

The questions people usually ask first

Who do I actually speak to?

Me. Always. There's no team to be handed off to.

How long before we start?

Straight away, if we're both ready.

Is the first chat free?

Yes, always. No obligation.

What if you can't help?

I'll tell you honestly and point you somewhere better if I can.

Do you work outside Essex?

UK-wide. Most of my work is done remotely.

Built anything with AI yourself?

Yes — my own apps. I don't just advise on it.

If you know this matters but aren't sure where to start

Let's just talk. No agenda. No pitch deck. Half an hour on a call to see if it makes sense.
