Is Your Brighton Business Ready for AI and LLM Search?
Brighton has always been a hub for creativity, innovation, and digital entrepreneurship — but the way people discover local businesses is changing fast.
As large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overviews become the gateway to information, your website needs more than keywords and nice design — it needs to be understood, trusted, and surfaced by AI systems.
At Brighton AI, we work with local organisations to make sure they stay visible, credible, and competitive in this new era of digital discovery.
Why This Matters for Brighton-Based Businesses
When people search for products, services, or answers today, they’re often interacting with AI — not just traditional search engines. AI platforms don’t show ten blue links anymore. They show summaries. Recommendations. Curated answers.
That means:
-
If your business isn’t part of what the AI understands — it’s not seen.
-
If your website lacks the right structure, trust signals, and content clarity — it’s ignored.
-
If your competitors are optimising for AI and LLM visibility — you’ll fall behind.
Being in Brighton — a city with thousands of creative agencies, consultants, restaurants, events, and retailers — makes this even more urgent. Visibility is competitive. Attention is limited. AI is the filter.
What LLMs Look For (And Why Most Sites Aren’t Ready)
AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini aren’t using your meta tags or backlinks in the traditional way. Instead, they’re looking for signals like:
-
Structured data (schema markup) to understand what your pages are about
-
EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) to determine credibility
-
Clear content formatting — headings, summaries, FAQs — to pull into AI summaries
-
Consistency across platforms, like your Google profile, social links, and third-party citations
-
Crawlability and technical clarity — no broken links, hidden content, or duplicate noise
Without these, your business may be effectively invisible to AI — even if your SEO seems fine.

Whether you’re a restaurant in the Lanes, a digital agency in Hove, or a retail brand in the North Laine, your audience is now being influenced by AI — whether you realise it or not.
Don’t Wait to Catch Up
AI search and recommendation platforms aren’t “coming” — they’re here. ChatGPT is being used by millions to find services. Google’s AI Overviews are replacing traditional search results. And Bing, Meta, and Apple are building their own AI discovery ecosystems.
