Where to start

Which of these is happening to you?

Bradford businesses usually come to GEO with one of three complaints. An AI tool was asked for a recommendation and named someone else. A rival keeps landing above them on Google. Or the map pin is missing altogether. Pick the nearest one and the guide behind it answers the question properly before it says anything about us.

Find you. Trust you. Choose you.

Where GEO sits in Find you, Trust you, Choose you

GEO is the finding part. It only works when the trust and the choosing are in place too, because an AI tool recommends the business it can read about and believe. Here is what sits under each of the three.

Find you

Found by Google and by the AI tools

When someone in Bradford asks Google, ChatGPT or Gemini who to use, the answer comes from what has been written about your business online. We make sure the plain facts are there to be read: what you do, where you do it, and who you have done it for.

Trust you

Believed once they look you up

An AI answer leans on the same things a careful buyer checks: reviews with detail in them, projects with names and photographs, and other websites mentioning you. We film, photograph and write that evidence, then put it where it can be found.

  • Google reviews
  • Written case studies
  • Video case studies
  • Project photography
  • Helpful guides
  • PR and mentions
Choose you

Chosen when they land on your site

Being recommended is worth nothing if the page they arrive at is vague or the form is buried. Clear wording, an obvious next step and tracking on the enquiries turn the mention into work.

  • Messaging
  • Calls to action
  • Enquiry forms
  • Conversion tracking

Businesses near Bradford that Google and AI already point to

Three firms we work with, one of them filmed in Bradford itself, and what changed for each.

A Jack Lunn construction site filmed from the air by Halizona Main contractor · Flower Meadows, Bradford · Drone, video, strategy

Jack Lunn

Business
A long-established Yorkshire construction and property business trading under the family name, with Flower Meadows in Bradford among the developments we have filmed for them.
Problem
The firm has been building for decades and hardly any of it could be seen online, so anyone looking Jack Lunn up found far less than the work deserved.
Work
Drone and video of the live sites, Flower Meadows included, plus a marketing strategy that puts named projects where people, Google and the AI tools can all read about them.

LinkedIn growth and engagement, with marketing that now looks like the family firm behind it.

“Dave has provided a great service for our business as a main contractor, drone footage & marketing consultation. We’d highly recommend his services to others!”

Bond Brickwork bricklayers at work on a housing development Commercial brickwork · Brighouse · Search work since 2018

Bond Brickwork

Business
Brighouse brickwork and masonry contractors whose gangs lay brick for the national housebuilders on large housing sites across Yorkshire.
Problem
Housebuilders looking for a brickwork subcontractor search for exactly that, and Bond needed to be the firm those searches turned up, on Google and now in AI answers too.
Work
We have looked after the website and the search work since 2018, adding named developments, capabilities and locations as the business has grown, so there is always something current for a search engine or an AI tool to read.

At the top of Google for the commercial brickwork searches that count, and recommended when AI search is asked the same question.

Fay of Dolphin Heating, a Gas Safe engineer in Huddersfield, on a boiler job Gas engineer · Huddersfield · Website, SEO, AI search

Dolphin Heating

Business
Fay Dolphin is a Gas Safe registered engineer with more than 25 years in the trade, running Dolphin Heating from one van in Huddersfield.
Problem
A good share of her customers specifically want a female gas engineer, and nothing online said so in the words those customers actually type.
Work
A website and positioning built around that exact phrase, then the search and AI search work to make sure it is the page that gets found.

First on Google for female gas engineer Huddersfield, and named in the AI answer.

“David created me a new website. He was easy to talk to and understood exactly what I wanted. I was very impressed with his knowledge and he was always on hand if I had any questions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend David and Halizona. Excellent service.”

About Halizona

The Halifax marketing company behind this page

Halizona is a marketing company based in Halifax, West Yorkshire, working with established businesses across the county, Bradford included. We help them get found by the right people, give those people reasons to trust them, and win more of the work they actually want.

Websites, SEO, AI search, content, social media, photography, video and marketing strategy all come from the same small team. That matters for GEO in particular, because the evidence an AI tool needs, the filmed projects, the reviews, the written-up jobs, is the same evidence a customer needs, and it is far easier to produce when one firm handles all of it.

We have been working with websites and digital marketing for approaching 20 years, across West Yorkshire and nearby areas, including Halifax, Huddersfield, Bradford, Leeds, Keighley and Skipton.

Find you.Trust you.Choose you.

Help the right people find you. Give them genuine reasons to trust you. Make it easy for them to choose you.

Common questions

GEO in Bradford, in plain English

What is GEO, in plain English?

GEO is short for generative engine optimisation, which is a long name for a simple job: making sure that when somebody asks an AI tool for a recommendation, your business is one it knows about and mentions. The American guides spell it generative engine optimization, and you will see both online.

The AI tools, Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and the rest, build their answers from what is already published about you: your website, your Google profile, your reviews and the other sites that mention you. GEO is the work of making that material clear, consistent and convincing enough to be picked.

Is GEO just SEO with a new name?

Mostly, yes, and anyone selling it as a separate kind of magic is overcomplicating it. The AI tools lean heavily on the pages Google already ranks, so good SEO is the foundation and there is no skipping it.

The difference is in what gets read. A search engine matches words on a page. An AI tool tries to understand what the business is and whether it can be vouched for, so plain descriptions, reviews with detail in them, named projects and mentions on other websites carry more weight than they used to.

How do I check what AI says about my business?

Ask it the question a customer would ask. Open ChatGPT, or search Google for the service you offer with Bradford after it, and type something like who is a good commercial electrician in Bradford. Read who gets named and why.

Then ask about your own business by name and see whether the description matches reality. If it is wrong, out of date or empty, that is the starting point, and it tells you a lot about what is missing online.

Can you actually influence what ChatGPT and Google’s AI recommend?

Yes, within limits. Nobody can buy a place in an AI answer or promise one, and you should walk away from anyone who says they can. What can be done is to fix the reasons a tool has for leaving you out: an unclear website, a thin Google profile, few reviews, no named projects and no mentions anywhere else.

Bond Brickwork and Dolphin Heating are both recommended in AI answers for the searches that matter to them, and neither got there by trickery. They got there because the evidence was put where it could be read.

How long does it take to show up in AI answers?

For a business with the basics in place, usually a few months. Changes to a website or a Google profile tend to be picked up by Google within a few weeks. The AI tools refresh at their own pace, some of them live from search results and some from snapshots taken months apart, so it is normal to be named in one before another.

We measure it monthly by asking the same set of questions and recording who is named, so you can see it move.

Will I need a new website for this?

Not always. If the current site can be edited, says what you do in plain words and has a page for each service, most of the work goes on top of it. If it is a single page with a logo and a phone number, or nobody has the login, a rebuild is usually cheaper than fighting it.

We will tell you which one you have before any money changes hands.

Do you work with construction and trades businesses in Bradford?

They are most of our work. Bond Brickwork, Jack Lunn, RB Electrical, Standeven Flooring and Dolphin Heating are all construction, property or trades businesses, and the jobs we have filmed include a Jack Lunn development at Flower Meadows in Bradford.

Trades and contractors suit this work well, because the proof is physical. A site, a van, a finished job and a happy customer are easy to photograph and easy for an AI tool to read about.

Are you actually based in Bradford?

No. Halizona is based in Halifax, a short drive from Bradford, and we have no office in the city. We are over regularly for filming, photography and meetings, and most of the work on this page is done at a desk anyway.

If you would rather see us in person before deciding, we will come to you.

Where we work

Which parts of Bradford do you cover?

All of them, from the city centre out to Shipley, Bingley and the villages towards the moors. The Jack Lunn development we filmed is at Flower Meadows in Bradford, Bond Brickwork is over in Brighouse and Dolphin Heating is in Huddersfield, so the whole patch between them is familiar ground.

  • Bradford city centre
  • Shipley
  • Saltaire
  • Bingley
  • Baildon
  • Idle
  • Eccleshill
  • Thornton
  • Queensbury
  • Wibsey
  • Low Moor
  • Wyke
  • Keighley
  • Halifax
  • Brighouse
  • Leeds

Want the right Bradford customers to find you and choose you?

You probably do not need more marketing. You need the parts you already have, the website, the Google profile, the reviews, the jobs you have done, to agree with each other and say the same clear thing.

Tell us what you are trying to win more of and we will tell you what the AI tools say about you today, and where the gaps are.
