All Marketing

Someone in Joondalup just asked their phone for the best physio near them. They didn't get ten blue links. They got a map with three names and an AI-written answer that recommended two businesses by name. If yours wasn't one of them, you didn't exist for that customer. 📍

Here's the uncomfortable part we keep seeing in Search Console audits across Perth: businesses ranking page one, pulling thousands of impressions a month, recording zero clicks. The map pack and the AI answer above the results absorb the whole intent. The rank tracker says the SEO is working. The phone says otherwise.

The good news? There's no separate AI project to fund. The same six steps that win the map pack today are exactly what gets you named by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok tomorrow. Complete profile, review velocity, identical details, local schema, real photos, honest measurement.

What's your Google Business Profile looking like right now - infrastructure, or a formality you filled in back in 2019?

Here's a truth most Perth business owners haven't caught up to: your website isn't read mainly by people anymore. It's read by machines, and they decide what to say about you before a customer ever sees you.

When someone asks ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini or Google's AI Overview "who should I call?", the engine has already read you and either named you or skipped you. Most WA sites hand it a wall of text and hope it guesses right. It usually doesn't.

The fix isn't expensive or glamorous. It's schema markup - the small piece of code that hands your facts (name, hours, services, reviews) straight to the machine so it names you instead of a competitor it found easier to read. And almost nobody in Perth has done it yet, so the field is wide open.

We break the whole thing down in this week's blog post, and Charlie and Mark talk it through on the podcast (both on the same page). Have you ever checked what AI can actually read about your business?

Your customers have stopped scrolling ten blue links. They ask ChatGPT or Google's AI, get one written answer, and it names a handful of businesses. You're either in that answer or you don't exist.

That's Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), and this week's blog post breaks down exactly how Perth businesses get named - clear answers up front, FAQ schema, consistent business details, and proof from third parties, not just your own homepage.

The best part? Almost no WA business has done anything about it yet. The field is wide open. 🏁

Charlie and Mark also unpack it all on this week's podcast, embedded right on the post. Quick test tonight: ask an AI the exact question your best customer would ask. Are you named?

Your next customer might not be a person. It could be an AI agent doing the research, the shortlisting and the booking - and it feels nothing about your beautiful website.

For 20 years we've marketed to humans: emotion, hero images, persuasive copy. None of that touches an agent. It reads facts - your services, prices, availability, reviews - scores you against rivals in milliseconds, and moves on if it can't extract the answer. Hidden pricing and enquiry-only forms make you invisible to the machine choosing on your customer's behalf.

The upside for Perth businesses? Clarity beats budget. A smaller, clearer operator can beat a bigger competitor simply by being legible to the agent.

Could an AI agent actually find and recommend your business today?

Your next customer might never see your website.

They will ask ChatGPT for a recommendation, read the three-sentence answer, and act on it. If your Perth business is not in that answer, you do not exist in that moment 🤖

That is where llms.txt comes in: a tiny plain-text file you put at the root of your site that hands AI a clean, plain-English brief on who you are and what you actually do. No menus, no pop-ups, no jargon for the machine to trip over. For once the sharper, clearer operator beats the bigger budget.

This week Charlie and Mark unpack the whole framework on the podcast (and the full write-up is on the blog) - what llms.txt is, how it differs from your sitemap, and the seven steps to build your own in an afternoon.

Google just killed the search box. After the May 2026 update, Search is a conversational AI agent - and roughly 83% of searches now end without a single click.

That sounds like a death sentence for your traffic. It isn't. It's a filter. The Perth businesses that adapt to Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) are getting cited and recommended by the AI. The ones still pumping out keyword-stuffed blog posts are quietly disappearing.

This week Charlie and Mark break down exactly how local WA businesses stay visible in the new search - entity data, structured schema, and the kind of first-hand expertise a machine can't fake.

Some of your customers have quietly stopped Googling.

When a Perth local wants the best CBD cafe, how to structure a business loan, or which software to use, they're now typing it straight into TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn search bars. If your social strategy is still chasing "Monday vibes" captions and a lone rocket emoji, you're invisible exactly when buyers are looking.

Our latest piece breaks down the Social Media SEO framework we use to turn social content into a searchable, AI-citable asset - captions as metadata, keywords spoken in the first 3 seconds, and 3-5 intent-driven hashtags instead of 30 generic ones.

Working 60-hour weeks does not make you a better marketer. It just makes you a compromised one. 👇🏽

We have just published a deep dive on corporate burnout in digital marketing, and why your real currency is not time, it is cognitive function. When your brain is fried, your campaigns fail. It really is that simple.

Inside the article we cover the psychology of exhaustion, the warning signs most people miss, and a 4-step framework to protect your mind and your revenue.

There is also a Perth agency scenario showing how the same approach freed up 30 percent more team capacity in 60 days, with no new hires.

There is high-intent traffic arriving on your website right now that you cannot see.

People are no longer just Googling.

They are asking ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to research solutions, and clicking the citation links those tools hand them.

Until a few weeks ago, that traffic was invisible - bundled into Direct or Referral with no way to separate it.

On 13 May, Google quietly changed that. GA4 now has a native AI Assistant channel that classifies this traffic automatically. No developer needed.

Here is the part that matters for Perth businesses: AI-referred visitors are pre-briefed. The model has already vetted you, summarised your expertise, and recommended you as the answer.

They land warm.

In a typical setup they sit at a 74% engagement rate and convert more than double your organic search visitors.

This week's blog and podcast episode covers the full audit framework, the dark traffic problem most marketers miss, and a real Subiaco case study where 450 AI-driven sessions turned into twelve enterprise inquiries with no ad spend.

WordPress just stopped being a Content Management System.

With the release of WordPress 7.0 on 20 May, every WordPress site in Perth now has native AI infrastructure built into the core.
No more plugin soup.

No more API keys scattered across twenty different vendors. One unified AI Client, an Abilities API, and live cursors inside the editor so your copywriter and your SEO specialist can work on the same page at the same time.

Here is the brutal truth though. WordPress 7.0 is a Ferrari. If your positioning is fuzzy, all this will do is help you tell more people that you are mediocre, faster.

The new blog and podcast episode covers what the update actually means for Perth businesses, the four-step transition framework, and the three objections I keep hearing from owners (AI content and SEO, data safety, and whether you still need a developer).
