  • Then, by email: who ChatGPT, Claude and Google Maps name for your trade and suburb
  • No ranking promises. The work, and your real numbers, every week

Free, no account. We read your home page, robots.txt and sitemap now. We keep your answers to send you the result and to count what we find across many businesses. We never sell your details; email creativebyjake@gmail.com and we delete them. Privacy.

Who it is for

Is Appear for me?

It is for a local business with a website that is not bringing in the calls it should. Celebrants, plumbers, electricians, landscapers, painters: anyone whose customers search before they ring. If you need a website built first, creativebyjake does that too, on its own site.

You already have a site

Keep it

Appear works on the site you have. We make it easier for Google and the assistants to read, and we leave the design alone.

Customers search first

Be where they look

A customer types "electrician near me" into Google Maps, or asks an assistant who is good in their suburb. We work on those exact searches.

You are busy

Nothing changes for you

Your phone, your email and your socials stay yours. Customers still reach you directly; we never answer them for you.

What you get

What does Appear actually do?

It does the slow, unglamorous jobs that decide whether a nearby customer sees you: a Google listing that is complete and active, details that match everywhere, a site Google can read, and a steady trickle of honest reviews.

  1. First, we look.A short report on how customers find you right now: your Google listing, the directories for your trade, your site, how you rank on Google Maps today, and if any AI assistant mentions you yet.
  2. Then we fix the foundations.Your listing completed (website, category, hours, services), your details made identical on every directory that matters, a Bing listing too, and your site tidied so machines can read it.
  3. Then we keep it moving, monthly.Google posts drafted from your real work for you to approve, fresh photos, a new page on your site every second month, and a check that nothing has drifted.

The whole list, month by month

What you see

How will I know it is working?

You get a private page that updates every week. It shows the numbers that matter to a local business, and it shows them when they go down too.

Enquiries

this month against last month, counted from your own form

Google reviews

how many, the rating, and how recent

Google Maps

where you sit for the searches we agreed, read weekly

AI assistants

What your private page shows. No numbers here, on purpose: they are yours, and we only show real ones.

The price

How much does Appear cost?

$250 + GST a month, which is $275 a month all up. There is no contract: stay month to month, and give two weeks' notice when you want to stop. Anything we set up for you, from your listing to your Search Console, stays in your name.

Appear never promises a ranking. Google Maps shows three businesses and an assistant names a handful, so nobody honest can promise a spot. We promise the work, done every month and shown plainly.

Before you decide

Compare us, then choose

We read the pages of every website and local SEO provider the AI assistants named for celebrants and tradies in October 2026, and put their prices and packages side by side, ours included and disclosed.

What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?

GEO means making your business easy for AI assistants to find and name. Local SEO is the same idea for Google and Google Maps. In practice they share most of the groundwork: an accurate listing, consistent details, a readable site and real reviews. Appear does both.

Do I need a new website?

No. Appear is built for the site you already have. If your site cannot be read by Google at all, the free check will say so and we will tell you plainly what it needs.

Can you promise where I will rank?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We agree the searches that fit your business, work on them every month and report what happens, good or bad.
