Search is changing faster than ever before.
While Google remains the world’s largest search engine, more people are now asking questions directly in AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude and Perplexity to find businesses, products and services.
That means online visibility is no longer just about ranking well in Google. It’s also about ensuring your business is understood, trusted and recommended by AI-powered search platforms.
At Need More Clicks, we’ve been helping businesses improve their online visibility since 2002. As an Otterly Agency Partner, we combine more than two decades of SEO experience with specialist AI Visibility tools to help businesses understand how they appear in AI-generated search results and identify opportunities to strengthen their online presence.
AI Visibility is the process of improving how your business is understood and referenced by AI search platforms.
Unlike traditional search engines, AI assistants don’t simply display a list of websites. They analyse information from multiple trusted sources before generating an answer.
If your business isn’t well understood, consistently referenced or recognised as an authority within its industry, it may not appear in those recommendations.
Improving AI Visibility helps businesses strengthen the signals that AI platforms use when deciding which companies to mention.
Need More Clicks is proud to be an Otterly Agency Partner.
Otterly is one of the leading AI visibility platforms, helping agencies monitor how businesses appear across leading AI search platforms.
The platform allows us to understand how businesses are being represented within ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, monitor changes over time and identify opportunities to improve AI-generated visibility.
Combined with our SEO experience dating back to 2002, Otterly gives us valuable insight into how search is evolving beyond traditional rankings.
AI Visibility doesn’t replace SEO.
It builds upon it.
The strongest businesses in AI-powered search are usually those with strong websites, authoritative content, recognised brands and good visibility in traditional search.
That’s why our approach combines technical SEO, content strategy, Google Business Profile optimisation, entity development and AI Visibility into one long-term strategy.
Rather than treating AI as something separate, we help businesses build the authority that benefits both Google and AI search platforms.
AI Visibility is ideal for businesses that rely on trust, expertise and recommendations to generate enquiries.
Whether you’re a local business serving Doncaster and South Yorkshire or a company operating nationally, understanding how AI platforms describe your business is becoming an increasingly important part of digital marketing.
If potential customers are asking AI assistants questions about your industry, your business should be part of the answer.
