The Shift in Search
Search Has Changed. Most Businesses Haven't Caught Up.
Your customers aren't just typing keywords into Google anymore. They're asking ChatGPT for recommendations. They're scanning AI-generated answers before clicking a link. They're using LLMs as research assistants.
Being found across all of that takes a different approach than SEO alone. It's not about chasing more keywords. It's about becoming the kind of source AI systems trust and cite when someone asks a question in your industry.
Who Epifore Works With
Small Businesses and Early-Stage Founders Who Are Passionate About What They Do
The businesses that win in AI-powered search aren't the ones trying to be found for everything. They're the ones with clarity — about who they serve, what they do, and what makes them distinctive.
That clarity doesn't have to be polished. Most small business owners know exactly what they do and why it matters — they just haven't put it into words yet. Drawing that out and translating it is part of the work we do together.
How This Actually Works
More Than Just a Website
Being found online isn't just about your site — it's about how clearly your business is presented everywhere search and AI tools look for you. Your website, your Google Business Profile, your directory listings, the language you use, the consistency between all of it.
01
Structure & Clarity
Making your site, and the way you describe your business, easy for both customers and AI to understand.
02
Consistency Across the Web
Making sure your business shows up the same way everywhere search and AI tools find it.
03
Ongoing Visibility
Keeping things working as search changes, through content, monitoring, and adjustments.
Where you start depends on where you are. Some businesses need to rebuild their foundations; others have a solid site but need their wider presence pulled into shape. The first conversation is about figuring out which — and where you'll see the most return for the work.
On Ongoing Work
A Website Isn't a One-Time Build
Search rewards businesses that keep showing up — through fresh content, updated information, and adjustments as the landscape shifts. That ongoing work can be yours or mine, but it needs attention to keep seeing the benefits.
What This Looks Like in Practice
Helen Phung Celebrant
Melbourne, Australia
Helen's website had generated zero organic traffic and zero enquiries in seven years of operation. A full rebuild — site structure, copy, technical foundation, and content built for both traditional and AI search — delivered three organic enquiries nine weeks after launch, including referrals from people who found her through ChatGPT.

&BROWHAUS — The Build
London
&BROWHAUS had a strong local reputation but no digital presence they controlled. Bookings were flowing through Treatwell (which took a cut of each one) and a similarly-named competitor that had closed during Covid was still outranking them on Google. A full website build, paired with the foundational digital presence work to support it, gave them a site they owned and customers could find directly.
&BROWHAUS — Ongoing Optimisation
London
Nine months on from launch, &BROWHAUS continues to grow steadily across both traditional and AI search. As of March 2026, organic search users reached an all-time high of 1,185 per month, and the site is now cited 25 times across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google's AI Mode. Domain authority, Google Business Profile performance, and map rankings have all improved month over month. Recent work has included a platform migration, an expanded backlink profile, and ongoing content development to capture the treatments customers are actually searching for.
Why Work With Epifore
Built for Small Businesses
Right-sized recommendations, real outcomes, no enterprise overhead.
Recommendations That Make a Real Difference
Every project starts with figuring out what'll actually make a difference for your business — not a checklist of everything that could technically be done.
Explained Clearly
You'll always understand what's happening with your digital presence and why. No jargon, no guesswork.
Behind Epifore
I'm Courtney, an SEO and digital strategist based in London. I started Epifore because I kept hearing the same thing from small business owners and early-stage founders: they're proud of what they offer, but they're not getting the leads they want from search — and they're worried they're not ready for what AI search is becoming.
Search is more complicated than it looks, and it's changing fast. Getting indexed, managing your backlinks, keeping your information consistent everywhere your business shows up, adapting as AI changes how people find services — there's a lot to it.
What Clients Say
"Courtney's professionalism, technical knowledge, and ability to deliver measurable results have been outstanding. She not only improved the site's performance but also gave me confidence that my online presence is on the right path for long-term success."
Helen Phung
Helen Phung Celebrant — Melbourne
"Instagram brought in loyal clients, but it couldn't help new customers find me when they were searching for brow lamination or lash lifts. Courtney changed that — now people are finding &BROWHAUS on Google for the exact treatments they're looking for."
