What an AI SEO Agency Does for a London Business
AI SEO is normal SEO plus one extra goal: getting cited inside AI answers. A London buyer asks ChatGPT for “the best accountant in Shoreditch” or Google's AI Mode for “a solicitor near Canary Wharf”. The tool reads the web and names a few businesses. Your agency's job is to make sure your business is one of them.
Google is clear on how this works. Its guide to AI features says “There are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode, nor other special optimizations necessary.” The same SEO basics apply: crawlable pages, useful content and clean technical health. Google also notes that AI Overviews “often don't trigger”, because they only show when Google decides they add something.
ChatGPT is different. OpenAI says its OAI-SearchBot crawler is “used to surface websites in search results in ChatGPT's search features.” Sites that block it “will not be shown in ChatGPT search answers”. So a good London agency checks your robots.txt on day one. Many sites miss this.
The core work is the same for a café in Hackney or a law firm in the City:
- Technical health, so Google and AI crawlers can read every page.
- Pages that answer real buyer questions in plain language.
- Real backlinks and brand mentions on sites AI tools trust.
- Tracking, so you can see rankings and AI citations move.

AI SEO Agency London: A Buyer's Checklist
London has hundreds of SEO agencies, and most now say “AI” on their homepage. Use these checks to cut the list fast, or claim your free SEO strategy session and we will run them with you.
1. Ask how they track AI citations
Rankings are easy to report. AI citations are harder. Ask which prompts they track, in which tools, and how often. A clear answer is a good sign.
2. Ask about link building
Links still drive both Google and AI visibility. Google's spam policies list “Buying or selling links for ranking purposes” as link spam. Ask how the agency earns links. Goldie Agency uses manual outreach and no PBNs, and Julian wrote the best-selling Amazon book “Link Building Mastery” on the subject.
3. Watch for guarantees
Google's own hiring guide says “No one can guarantee a #1 ranking on Google.” The same is true for AI answers. Any agency that promises a ChatGPT mention is selling something it cannot control.
4. Give read access, not write access
Google advises giving a new SEO read access to Search Console at the audit stage. That protects you while you test the relationship.
5. Ask for their own results
An agency should rank its own site. Julian's Search Console data for aiprofitboardroom.com shows growth from 328 clicks a month in October 2025 to 22,443 clicks a month in October 2026. The keyword “best AI SEO community” reached #1 on Google on its first day, 22 September 2026.

Do You Need an Agency With a London Office?
Not for SEO. Google and ChatGPT do not care where your agency sits. What matters is that your agency understands your London market: the boroughs you serve, the terms your buyers use and the local competitors you face.
Remote work also widens your choice. You can hire the team with the best systems, not the one with the closest office. Goldie Agency runs calls, reports and audits online for clients across the UK and abroad.
For local businesses, your Google Business Profile still matters. Keep your name, address and hours accurate, and keep your service pages consistent with it. If you serve customers across Greater London, build a page for each area you really serve, with real detail. Google's spam policies warn against “scaled content abuse”, so avoid hundreds of thin borough pages.
How Goldie Agency Works With London Clients
Here is the usual flow:
- Strategy session. A free call to look at your rankings, your AI visibility and your top competitors.
- Audit. Technical health, content gaps, robots.txt rules for AI crawlers and your backlink profile.
- Plan. The pages to build or fix, and the links to earn.
- Build. Content, technical fixes and manual outreach for real backlinks.
- Track. Google rankings and AI citations, reported in plain English.
We also use AI in the process. Much of our research and reporting runs through the free Agent OS we use to automate SEO tasks. We test which AI models handle SEO work best on Goldie Bench, where we test AI models.

No. Goldie Agency works with London clients remotely. Calls, audits and reports all happen online, and the SEO work is the same as it would be for a local team.
