About
About Rank4AI
Rank4AI Ltd is a specialist agency based in Colchester, Essex, founded by Adam Parker, Jimmy Connoley and Oliver Mackman. Our work draws on 1,400+ UK business audits and the Five Signal Model, our framework for understanding how AI platforms decide who to recommend.
We focus on how AI interprets businesses, classifies services, and decides who to recommend. This is sometimes called AI SEO, GEO or AIO.
Why Rank4AI Exists
Google traffic is shifting. Organic clicks down 17%. Paid clicks down 68%. That traffic moved to AI search. When AI recommends a business, one or two get named. The rest are invisible.
In our testing, Google rankings and AI answers rarely match. Page one of Google does not mean AI recommends you. Two different systems. Two different results. We close that gap.
Mission
To make AI search visibility measurable, understandable and achievable for UK businesses.
