AI SEO services at a fixed price, not a retainer.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Siri or Gemini for a recommendation, the assistant does not scroll a results page. It retrieves business facts it can read and verify, then names a business it trusts. AI SEO is the work of making yours that business. We productised it: one fixed price, one clean machine-readable fact layer, no jargon and no monthly invoice.
What AI SEO actually is
Search is splitting in two. Classic search still matters: pages compete to appear in a ranked list, and traditional SEO fights for those positions. But a growing share of buying questions now goes straight to an assistant: "find me a reliable roofer near me with clear pricing", "who can rewire a kitchen in Reading this week". The assistant answers with one or two names, not ten blue links.
To pick those names, AI systems send retrieval bots to read pages, extract facts and check them for consistency. If your services, coverage area, hours and contact details are stated in machine-readable formats, you are quotable. If they are buried in images, sliders and marketing copy, the assistant moves to a competitor it can actually verify. That is the whole game, and it is why the discipline goes by names like GEO (generative engine optimisation) and AEO (answer engine optimisation): you are optimising to be the answer.
What we build for £549
- A Digital Fact Sheet: a purpose-built, machine-readable page stating who you are, what you do, where you cover and how to reach you. Your existing website stays untouched; the fact sheet sits alongside it as the clean source of truth.
- llms.txt: the fact file AI systems look for first, written from your verified details.
- Full structured data: schema.org markup for your business, services, pricing and FAQs, so assistants can answer specific questions about you correctly.
- Retrieval-friendly setup: robots rules that welcome the bots assistants use to read and cite pages, while blocking pure training scrapers if you prefer.
- Hand-verified facts: we check your details before publishing them, because assistants downrank businesses whose facts disagree across the web.
- Engineering quality: every build scores 100 across Google Lighthouse. Speed and accessibility are ranking signals in both worlds.
Fixed price versus agency retainer
AI SEO agencies typically sell monthly retainers, and for large brands fighting for visibility across thousands of queries, that can be the right model. For a local business or trade, most of the value is in the foundations: publish your facts in the formats machines read, keep them consistent, keep the site fast. That is a build, not a subscription, which is why we charge for it once. If your situation genuinely needs ongoing content and authority work, we will say so plainly rather than fold it into a fee you did not need.
How we prove it, before you pay anything
Our free AI visibility checker scans any website the way assistants read it and scores five things: the llms.txt fact file, structured data, crawler permissions, readable content and meta tags. You get an honest verdict and a downloadable report. If your site already passes, the results page says exactly that and sells you nothing; if it does not, you will see precisely which facts machines cannot read, and the fix is the £549 build above.
We hold ourselves to the same standard: scan oneup.uk and you will find our own llms.txt, complete structured data and passing scores on every check. If we could not pass our own audit, you should not hire us.
Who this is for
- Trades and local services: the businesses assistants get asked about most. See our dedicated website design for tradesmen page.
- Small businesses with a good site already: the fact sheet sits alongside what you have; nothing gets rebuilt.
- Anyone with one page and big questions: our guide to SEO for a one page website covers what a single page can honestly achieve.
Straight answers about AI SEO
What is an AI SEO agency?
An AI SEO agency optimises a business to be found, understood and cited by AI systems: chat assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini, voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, and AI answers inside Google search. Traditional SEO targets ranked lists of links; AI SEO targets being the answer itself, which depends on machines being able to read and verify your business facts.
How much does AI SEO cost?
Agency AI SEO is usually sold as a monthly retainer, commonly several hundred to several thousand pounds a month. OneUp productised the core of it instead: £549 one-off builds your verified machine-readable fact layer, with hosting included for 12 months and a £249 yearly renewal. No retainer, no contract.
Is AI SEO different from normal SEO?
They overlap. Clean structure, fast pages and clear content help both. The difference is the audience: normal SEO persuades a ranking algorithm to list you; AI SEO makes your facts retrievable and verifiable so an assistant can safely name you as the answer. That adds specific work: llms.txt, complete structured data, retrieval-bot access and consistent facts everywhere you appear.
What is AI SEO called? GEO? AEO?
You will see GEO (generative engine optimisation), AEO (answer engine optimisation), AI search optimisation and LLM SEO. They describe the same discipline: making your business readable, verifiable and quotable by AI systems that answer questions directly.
Can you guarantee my business gets recommended?
No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. Assistants weigh many signals and re-scan on their own schedule. What can be guaranteed is the input: your business facts published in the formats machines read, verified and consistent. That moves you from unreadable to recommendable, which is the part you control.
