Home Industries
Any business whose customers ask AI who to choose.
The work is the same in every sector: find out what AI says, fix what it reads, show what changed. What differs is the questions people ask, the sources AI relies on and the rules you work under.
Sector guidesfor six kinds of business.

Dentists and orthodontistsDental practicesPatients ask AI for a gentle dentist, an Invisalign provider or a same-day appointment, and the answer names a short list.

What changes from sector to sector
- 1
The questions
A patient asks about nerves and finance; a landlord asks about fees and management; a diner asks about gluten-free options; a buyer asks for alternatives to a named product. We write your question set in your customers' words.
- 2
The sources
Local firms are often cited from their own websites and Google profiles. Trades may be cited from directories; B2B firms from comparison articles and review platforms. Your first check shows which.
- 3
The rules
Healthcare regulators, the SRA, property law, Gas Safe, the CAP Code. We work to the rules that apply to you and flag anything risky before it's published.
