Be the answer
ChatGPT gives.
Not the link below it.
We bolt a small set of fast, AI-discoverable answer pages onto your existing domain in two weeks, from £1,200 — no rebuild, no CMS changes, no risk. Your existing WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Webflow site stays exactly as it is. The new pages get cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
Why isn't your business cited by AI search yet?
Three reasons most businesses we talk to haven't fixed their AI-search problem yet. The AEO Hub is built around all three.
ChatGPT and Perplexity cite their sites — not yours.
AI search is becoming the new front page. If your site isn't structured for LLMs, you're invisible to a fast-growing share of buying intent — even if you rank #1 in classic Google.
Quoted £8k for a rebuild you don't actually need.
Most agencies sell rebuilds because rebuilds are bigger projects. But if your existing site works — visitors navigate it, forms submit, staff can update it — you don't need to start from scratch to fix AI visibility.
Touching the live site feels too risky.
Your CMS runs your business. Listings, forms, integrations, the way the team updates content. Last thing you want is a five-week rebuild project, a new system to learn, and the fear of something breaking on the way.
Where should you start — AEO Hub, full AEO, or rebuild?
Most clients start with the AEO Hub — bolt-on AI-citable pages on your existing domain, no rebuild, no risk. The other services exist for when you outgrow it.

How we work
Four stages, two weeks for an AEO Hub. Full rebuilds run on the same process but with deeper Plan + Build phases (3–5 weeks).
Audit
We test your current site against Lighthouse, schema validators, and live queries on ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. You get a written report telling you whether the AEO Hub or a full rebuild fits — yours to keep, no obligation.
Discovery
A 45-minute call to define the five answer-engine queries the Hub will target — the questions your customers actually ask AI tools. No content writing required from your end.
Build
We build your answer pages in Astro — sub-second, schema baked in, llms.txt published. Hosted on Vercel, routed to your domain via Cloudflare (subfolder) or CNAME (subdomain). Your existing site stays untouched.
Ship + monitor
Cutover, citation testing baseline, sitemap submission. We track citations across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for 30 days post-launch as standard. Optional retainer takes over from there.
Why work with Version Zero?
Four things that make Version Zero different from a generic agency.
Local, not faceless
Bolton-based, serving Greater Manchester. We can sit at the same table as you, not just send Loom videos.
Astro specialists
We don't dabble. Every site we ship is Astro — the framework that scores 100/100 on Lighthouse without tricks.
AI-native workflow
We use AI tools heavily in our build process, which is why we can ship an AEO Hub in two weeks (not months), and why we understand AEO better than agencies that don't actually use the tools they're optimising for.
Founder-owned
You work directly with Will, not an account manager and a delivery team. Faster decisions, no Chinese whispers.
