Buyers in your sector are asking AI this right now
Consultancy is built on expertise and reputation - and AI is becoming the fastest way to assess both. Business owners and executives facing a strategic challenge, an operational problem, or a major change programme now increasingly ask AI tools to identify and shortlist consultancies before making first contact. The firms that appear in those answers walk into the first conversation with credibility already established.
"Which UK strategy consultancy specialises in helping professional services firms scale?"
"Recommend a change management consultancy for a mid-market business undergoing digital transformation"
"Best operations consultancy for a UK manufacturing business looking to reduce costs"
"Which business consultant in the UK specialises in working with family-owned companies?"
These are the answers shaping your prospective clients' shortlists - before they ever visit your website.
What AI invisibility costs consultancies
Buyers research before they reach out
Business leaders commissioning consultancy work do significant due diligence before making contact. AI tools have become a key part of that process - helping buyers build a credible shortlist before they invest time in conversations. If your firm isn't surfaced in that research phase, you don't get the chance to win the work.
Broad positioning is invisible to AI
AI tools match consultancies to client problems by specificity. A firm that handles strategy, operations, and change but presents itself as a generalist consultancy will be systematically overlooked in favour of firms with clearer problem-specific or sector-specific positioning. The more precisely you articulate what you do and who you do it for, the more often AI recommends you.
Slow responses to inbound enquiries signal the wrong things
For consultancy buyers, how you handle first contact is itself a signal of how you operate. Firms that acknowledge and qualify inbound enquiries quickly - demonstrating responsiveness and professionalism - start every new client relationship with the right impression.

Key terminology
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of optimising a business's online presence so that AI-powered tools - such as ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews - recommend it in response to relevant queries.
AI search visibility is a measure of how frequently and prominently a business appears in AI-generated answers when relevant questions are asked.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) are both disciplines for improving online discoverability, but they target different systems: GEO targets AI-generated answers, while SEO targets ranked search results.
