Be the business they pick.
Two things decide that now: whether your website turns the people who find you into customers, and whether the AI assistants they ask for a recommendation can find and quote you at all. I do both, personally.
Two services. Same goal.
Being picked is one outcome with two halves — getting found, then converting whoever turns up. You can buy either on its own.
AI Visibility
People ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI for recommendations now, and those answers name a handful of businesses. I request your site as each of the seven crawlers that matter, compare it against an ordinary browser, and tell you whether you’re readable, quotable, and realistically able to be named.
Audit free for the first 5 → 02 — Getting chosenWebsites
A custom site built around one job: turning the people who land on it into enquiries. Designed and built by the same person you spoke to, live in weeks rather than months, and yours outright once it’s paid for.
From $697 →Four steps. No detours.
No discovery decks, no six-week onboarding. A short, direct process built for businesses that need a site now, not next quarter. AI visibility work runs differently — it starts with an audit.
Discovery
A short call to understand the business, the customer, and what "success" actually looks like — more calls, more bookings, more sales.
Design
A custom design direction built around the brand — never a recycled template — signed off before a single line of code is written.
Build
Fast, clean development. Mobile-first, built to load quickly and hold up under real traffic, not just look good in a preview.
Launch & Handoff
Domain connected, site live, and a clear handover — either fully self-managed, or with Verde Web Design keeping it running.

The traffic didn’t move. It stopped arriving.
In a 2026 survey of more than 300 small and medium businesses run by LocaliQ, 40% reported losing traffic to Google algorithm changes and the rise of AI in search. Half said they were already watching referrals from AI answer engines.
Someone used to search, scroll, and click through to five sites. Now they ask once and get one answer naming three businesses. If you’re not in the answer there is no page two to be on.
The useful part is that this is new. Nobody has a decade of experience in it, so the businesses that sort it out now are early rather than behind.
