Find Me Media

Get found on Google, Maps and in AI answers

Why customers can't find you, and what it's costing

01 / 24
  • Speed01 / 24

    Did you know more than half of mobile visits are abandoned if a site takes over 3 seconds?


    53% of mobile site visits end before the page loads. Those people don't call. They go to the next result.

  • AI search02 / 24

    Did you know your competitors might be showing up in ChatGPT, and you're not?


    AI assistants now recommend businesses by name. If yours isn't set up to be understood, it doesn't exist to them.

  • Google Maps03 / 24

    Did you know an unclaimed Google listing leaves your business details out of your hands?


    Until you claim it, you can't fix your hours, add photos or reply to reviews. Customers see whatever happens to be there.

  • Speed04 / 24

    Did you know a 5-second load makes a visitor almost twice as likely to leave as a 1-second load?


    From 1 to 3 seconds, the chance of a bounce rises 32%. At 5 seconds it's up 90%. At 10 seconds, 123%.

  • AI search05 / 24

    Did you know ranking on Google doesn't mean ChatGPT will recommend you?


    87% of ChatGPT's search citations match Bing's top results, against 56% for Google. Most businesses only compete on one of them.

  • Google Maps06 / 24

    Did you know one wrong phone number online can quietly hurt your ranking?


    Google compares your details across the web. When your name, address or number don't match, it trusts your listing less.

  • AI search07 / 24

    Did you know a site can score 100/100 for SEO and still be invisible to AI search?


    An engineering client's site scored SEO 100 on Google's test, and Perplexity didn't name the business at all. That score only checks the basics.

  • Google Maps08 / 24

    Did you know many customers decide from your Google listing without ever opening your website?


    Your hours, photos and reviews on Google are often the only impression you get to make.

  • Speed09 / 24

    Did you know the BBC loses an extra 10% of visitors for every extra second its site takes to load?


    If one of the world's biggest brands can't afford a slow site, neither can a local business.

  • Google10 / 24

    Did you know one line of code can make your website invisible to Google?


    It's called robots.txt. Set up wrong, it tells Google not to look at your site at all.

  • AI search11 / 24

    Did you know Perplexity mostly describes your business using other people's websites?


    Only about 13% of its citations point to a business's own site. Directories, review sites and news do most of the talking.

  • Google Maps12 / 24

    Did you know your reviews affect where you rank, not just your reputation?


    Google says review count and rating feed into local ranking. More good reviews, answered, means more visibility.

  • Speed13 / 24

    Did you know your website can look perfect and still be losing you customers every day?


    Design is what people see after the page loads. Speed decides whether they wait that long.

  • Google Maps14 / 24

    Did you know a Google listing with no photos can look like a business that's closed?


    Photos show customers you're real and active. A bare listing sends them to the competitor who looks open.

  • Google Maps15 / 24

    Did you know choosing the wrong category on Google can hide your business from searches?


    Your category tells Google who to show you to. Get it wrong, and you disappear from the searches that matter.

  • Google Maps16 / 24

    Did you know Google ranks local businesses on three things?


    Relevance, distance and prominence. Everything we fix feeds one of those three.

  • Google17 / 24

    Did you know a perfect-looking website can still be unreadable to search engines?


    Looking good to people and being readable by Google are two different jobs. Most sites only do the first.

  • Google Maps18 / 24

    Did you know customers can call, message or book you straight from Google?


    The buttons on your Google profile turn a search into an enquiry without a single website visit. Is yours set up?

  • Our results19 / 24

    Did you know a well-run business can have a website that takes 5.5 seconds to show its main image on a phone?


    That's what we found on an engineering client's site. Desktop looked fine. Mobile didn't. Google's target is 2.5 seconds.

  • Our results20 / 24

    Did you know one homepage was making every visitor download 12.5 MB?


    29 full-size photos, all at once, with nothing cached. On mobile data, your customer pays for your slow site.

  • Our results21 / 24

    Did you know a website can get twice as fast on a phone in one release?


    After our fixes: mobile score 65 → 79, desktop 85 → 97, and the page looked complete on a phone in 4.1 seconds instead of 8.4.

    PageSpeed Insights, Sep 2026

  • Speed22 / 24

    Did you know most slow websites are slow for the same five reasons?


    Oversized photos. No caching. Fonts that block the page. Broken images. Nothing loading in priority order. None of them needs a redesign.

  • How we work23 / 24

    Did you know you should get a before-and-after report when someone "fixes your SEO"?


    We test before we touch anything, then re-test 4 weeks after. Same tools, same pages, real numbers.

  • Google + AI24 / 24

    Did you know a faster site is only half the job?


    Speed keeps visitors. Being found on Google and in AI answers brings them in the first place. We fix both.

    How long does your website take to load on a phone?


    Most owners don't know. The free Visibility Audit tells you in seconds, plus what Google and the AI assistants say about you.

Search has split in two

Google and Google Maps still drive the phone calls. But more and more buying research now happens inside AI assistants that give one answer, not ten links. If you only show up in one of those places, you're losing the other half.

Google & Maps

Where people compare and call.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the audit really free?

Yes. There's no cost and no obligation. You get the scores, the report and a 20-minute call to walk through it.

What do you need from me for the audit?

Your business name, your website address (if you have one) and a phone number. We do the rest.

How long does the audit take?

Usually 1–3 working days, then we book a 20-minute call to go through it.

Do you test AI assistants for real?

Yes. We ask ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot the questions your customers would ask, and record what they say word for word.

What's the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO gets you found and ranked on Google and Maps. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) makes sure AI assistants understand, trust and recommend you. Most businesses need both, which is why the Combo exists.

How long before I see results?

The fixes take about 4 weeks. We re-test 4 weeks after go-live and show you the before and after. Rankings and reviews keep building after that.
