Businesses often use different names for the same service across their website, listings and marketing material.

One page may call it a consultation.

Another may call it an assessment.

A third may describe it as a strategy session.

These variations may all be accurate, but they can make the overall service offering less clear.

A practical AEO approach establishes:

✅ One primary service name
✅ Clear explanations of alternative terms
✅ Consistent wording in navigation and headings
✅ Matching descriptions across key business profiles
✅ Internal links connecting related terminology

This does not mean removing the language customers naturally use.

It means showing how those different terms relate to the same service.

Clear naming helps customers navigate your offering and gives AI systems stronger context about what your business provides.

Traditional searches may look like:

“Melbourne accountant”

An AI-search prompt may be much more specific:

“Which Melbourne accountant could help a growing professional services business improve cash flow and reporting?”

That difference matters.

A practical AEO strategy should create content around the complete customer situation, including:

✅ The problem they are experiencing
✅ The type of business or person involved
✅ The outcome they want
✅ Their location
✅ Their concerns or limitations
✅ The factors influencing their decision

Keywords still provide useful signals.

But conversational search requires enough context to connect your business with a more detailed need.

The clearer your content is about the situations you support, the easier it becomes for AI search to understand when your business may be relevant.

Digital Marketing A to Z: Y is for You. 👋

As AI-generated content becomes more common, one of the strongest ways to differentiate your business is something competitors cannot simply copy:

You.

Your experience, perspective, personality, opinions and the way you work with customers all help make your brand distinct.

For service-based businesses, people are not only choosing a company. They are also deciding whether they trust the people behind it. 💡

That means showing more of the human side of your business through:

✅ Authentic photos of you and your team
✅ Video content where customers can hear directly from you
✅ Genuine opinions and industry insights
✅ Real customer stories and testimonials
✅ Content written in a recognisable brand voice

AI can generate information quickly. But it cannot replicate the lived experience, relationships and perspective behind your business.

As AI search increasingly looks for trustworthy and distinctive brands, being authentic matters more—not less.

Don’t become digital wallpaper. Give people and AI a reason to remember who you are.

Adding location names throughout a page may help indicate where a business operates.

But useful local AEO content should provide more than repeated place names.

It should clearly explain:

✅ Which locations the business serves
✅ Whether customers visit you or you travel to them
✅ Which services are available in each area
✅ What local customers commonly need
✅ Whether service conditions differ by location

This gives AI-driven search systems more meaningful context when someone asks a local question such as:

“Who provides this service near me?”
“Which business serves this suburb?”
“Where can I find help with this problem?”

Local visibility is stronger when your location information is specific, accurate and genuinely useful.

DID YOU KNOW? 💡

In one study, visitors referred by ChatGPT converted at 15.9%, compared with just 1.76% from Google Organic — nearly 9× higher.

Why the difference?

People arriving through AI may already have spent time asking questions, comparing options and narrowing down what they need before clicking through to a website.

That means they can arrive further along the decision-making journey — with stronger intent and a clearer idea of what they are looking for.

It is still early data, and results will vary between businesses, but it highlights an important shift:

AI is influencing the quality of the traffic reaching your website.

As search continues moving from simple rankings towards recommendations and conversations, businesses need to think about how visible and credible they are across AI-driven search as well as traditional Google search.

Statistics and industry claims can make content more useful.

But they should also be current, accurate and supported by a credible source.

AI-generated answers may draw information from multiple websites. When your content clearly identifies where a claim came from, it becomes easier for readers and search systems to understand the basis of the information.

Good practice includes:

✅ Linking to the original study
✅ Naming the organisation behind the research
✅ Including the year the data was published
✅ Explaining what the statistic actually measures
✅ Updating or removing claims that are no longer current

A statistic without context can sound impressive while providing limited value.

A well-sourced insight gives customers a clearer reason to trust the information.

Colm MacGowan, Founder & CEO of 80/20 Digital, recently had the privilege of speaking at the MFAA Conference about how AI is reshaping the way mortgage brokers are found, trusted and chosen.

One of the key messages from the presentation was this:

Google is the library. AI is the librarian.

For years, digital visibility was mostly about ranking well in traditional search.

Now, AI-driven platforms are increasingly helping people narrow down their options before they ever visit a website. That means the question is no longer only:

“Can people find your business?”

It is also:

“Will AI recommend your business?”

Some of the biggest takeaways from the session were:

✅ AI is looking for proof, not just claims
✅ Clear positioning matters more than sounding like everyone else
✅ Trust signals are becoming more visible in search
✅ Being visible is not the same as being chosen

For mortgage brokers, that means strong marketing is no longer just about keywords and rankings. It is also about credibility, clarity and giving AI enough evidence to understand what makes your business the right choice.

Thank you to the MFAA for having Colm on stage to share these insights.
