GoClearcut is an AI marketing partner for Australian small businesses. We review your entire digital presence — website, SEO, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, social media, and AI search visibility — and manage the marketing system that helps your business get found and grow. Founded in 2001 by Jo McAuliffe, we bring 25 years of real marketing experience to every client.

What is the AI Marketing Snapshot?

The AI Marketing Snapshot is a personalised report that reviews your business across six key areas: your website, SEO, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, social media, and AI search visibility. It identifies what's working, what's costing you customers, and what to fix first — with a prioritised action plan you can act on immediately. It costs $95 and is delivered within 3 business days.

What does AI search visibility mean for my business?

AI search visibility refers to how your business appears in AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and voice assistants — which are increasingly the first place customers look for local businesses. If your business isn't structured in a way these tools can understand and confidently recommend, you're invisible to a growing number of potential customers. The AI Marketing Snapshot assesses this and tells you exactly what to do about it.

How is GoClearcut different from a traditional marketing agency?

Traditional agencies typically manage one or two channels in isolation — a website, or social media, or SEO. GoClearcut reviews and manages your entire digital presence as a connected system. We use AI tools to work more efficiently and consistently, guided by real human strategy and 25 years of marketing experience. You get a genuine marketing authority, not a supplier managing a single channel.

What is AEO and why does it matter?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation — the practice of making your business the one that gets recommended when AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and voice assistants answer relevant questions. Where SEO helps you rank in traditional search results, AEO helps you get cited and recommended in AI-generated answers. GoClearcut builds AEO into everything we do.

Do I need to understand AI to work with GoClearcut?

Not at all. You focus on running your business — we handle all the AI tools, strategy, content, and optimisation. Our job is to make AI work for your business without adding to your workload or requiring you to become a technology expert.

How does the process work?

It starts with the AI Marketing Snapshot ($95). You receive a personalised report reviewing your entire digital presence. We then schedule a discovery call to walk through the findings together, answer your questions, and map out what support makes sense for your business. From there, your marketing plan is built around what the Snapshot found — not a pre-packaged service.

What size businesses does GoClearcut work with?

We work with small and medium businesses across Australia — trades, health and wellness, retail, professional services, hospitality, and more. Typically businesses with one to twenty staff who are serious about growth but don't have the time or in-house team to run their own marketing effectively.

Does GoClearcut work with businesses outside Melbourne?

Yes. While GoClearcut is Melbourne-based, we work with small businesses across Australia. All services are delivered remotely, so location is no barrier.

How quickly can I expect to see results?

It depends on where you're starting from and what needs to be fixed. Google Business Profile improvements can show results within weeks. SEO and website changes typically take one to three months to index and gain traction. AI search visibility — appearing in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and voice search — is a three to six month build. We're transparent about timelines because we'd rather set honest expectations than overpromise.

What does ongoing marketing management include?

Ongoing management is tailored to your Snapshot results, but typically covers some combination of: SEO monitoring and optimisation, content creation and publishing, Google Business Profile management and posts, social media strategy and scheduling, Google Ads management, and monthly reporting. Everything is reviewed and adjusted monthly based on what's working.

How much does it cost to work with GoClearcut?

The AI Marketing Snapshot is $95. Ongoing marketing management plans start from $750 per month, tailored to the specific gaps and goals identified in your Snapshot. There are no lock-in contracts — we work month to month because we'd rather earn your business every month than hold you to a contract.

Your marketing, reviewed. Your growth, managed.

AI powered marketing for Australian small businesses with a human who tells you the truth.

Most small businesses have a website, a Google profile, some social media, maybe ads — and no clear picture of whether any of it is actually working. We fix that.

Services.

Every business is different. Your marketing plan should be too.

There's no one-size-fits-all package here. Once you receive your AI Marketing Snapshot, we can sit down together in a discovery call to walk through what it found.

That conversation shapes everything.

We review your results across every key area — your website, SEO, Google Business Profile, Google Ads, social media, and AI search visibility — and map out exactly what needs attention, in what order, and to what level of investment makes sense for your business right now.

From there, we put together a plan that's built around your actual gaps and goals — not a pre-packaged service that may or may not fit.

Some businesses need a new website first. Others need their Google presence fixed before anything else. Some are ready to run content and ads. We'll tell you honestly where the biggest opportunity is and how to get there.

It starts with your free AI Marketing Snapshot.

You're busy. Your marketing is scattered. And no one's giving you straight answers.

You've invested time and money across your website, SEO, Google, social media, maybe ads. But it's been built piece by piece, by different people, with no one ever looking at the whole picture.

You're not sure what's working.
You're not sure what to fix first.
And you definitely don't have time to figure it out.

That's exactly the gap we fill.

what our clients say.

“Working with the team at GoClearcut to rebuild our website was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire process was incredibly smooth and well-organised. From our first conversation, they took the time to really understand what makes Camberwell Floorworld unique — not just as part of the larger Floorworld franchise, but as a long-standing family business that's proudly rooted in the local community." - Camberwell Floorworld

How to Get Your Business Found on ChatGPT and AI Search

AI powered search tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, Perplexity, and voice assistants on phones and smart speakers don't return a list of links. They synthesise an answer. They recommend. They say "here's what you should know" or "here's who you should call."
