A website that Google and AI assistants can find
Some customers now ask ChatGPT or Gemini who to call. We build websites those tools can read and trust.
For local businesses that customers find online: trades, clinics, salons, shops and services.

Who’s a good plumber in the inner west?
Here are some well-reviewed local plumbers:

17 of 20 local businesses we tested were never recommended by AI assistants
Who are the best plumbers in Parramatta?
We picked 20 ordinary local trade businesses with websites from Google Maps. None of them are Bludge customers. We asked ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok everyday questions like “Who are the best plumbers in Parramatta?” Only 3 of the 20 were ever recommended.
How we tested, and its limits
Our own test in November 2026: 20 businesses, 4 assistants, 2 questions each, so 160 answers. We did not measure why a business was or was not named. A small sample, not a survey of every business.
One of our test questions. Each answer named a few businesses, blanked out here.
No one can promise that an AI assistant or Google will recommend your business. We make your website easy to find, read and trust, and show you how it is doing.

Free check, then every month
See what to fix first
Your free check uses the same four scores you see here: Speed, Accessibility (easy for everyone to use), SEO (Google basics) and AI visibility, plus basic site health such as broken links. A person from Bludge checks the results and emails you the fixes that matter most. Once we build your website, we run these checks every month.

Questions about websites
Can’t see your question? Ask us directly.
What does it cost?
The website plan is A$99 a month + GST. That covers your website, hosting, web chat and monthly checks. There is no setup fee, and the first 30 days are free from the day your website goes live, with no card needed. Stop before then and you pay nothing. After that, the minimum term is 6 months, then month to month.
Can you make ChatGPT recommend my business?
No one can promise that. Assistants choose from what they can find and trust. We make your website easy for them to read, show the business details they look for, and check it every month.
I already have a website. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Start with the free check. It shows what to fix on the website you have, so you can fix it yourself. If a new website would help more, we can build one and connect your web address to it.
Can I use my own web address?
Yes. Connect the address you already own, and we guide you through the settings. The address stays yours. You can also use an address we provide.
What is the AI visibility score?
It is a score out of 100 from named checks in four groups: access, readable content, business facts, and trust and freshness. Every point comes from a check you can see. It does not come from asking ChatGPT about your business.
Who writes the words?
We draft them with you from what you tell us and the material you already have. You check every page and approve it before it goes live.
