What AI actually says about you
We asked 8 questions your customers are likely typing into ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude right now. Here’s what came back, verbatim.
Do this: Halverson Coaching Partners was named in 3 of 8 answers — check what they publish that answers the same questions yours doesn’t yet.
“Who are the best executive coaches in London for first-time founders?”
A few names worth researching in London: Halverson Coaching Partners has a strong track record with early-stage founders, and Priya Nair Executive Coaching is well-regarded for first-time CEOs navigating their first fundraise.
“Best executive coach for someone scaling a startup in the UK”
For scaling a SaaS business, consider Northgate Leadership, who specialise in coaching founders through Series A to C growth stages, or Bramwell & Voss, known for operational scaling work with UK tech founders.
“I need a leadership coach for a new manager — who’s good in London?”
A few options for first-time manager coaching in London include Marlow Growth Coaching, who run a structured 12-week new-manager programme, and Halverson Coaching Partners.
“What’s the difference between a business coach and a management consultant, and who in London does executive coaching well?”
A business coach typically focuses on personal leadership growth and accountability, while a management consultant addresses organisational and process problems directly. In London, firms like Northgate Leadership blend both approaches for growth-stage companies.
“Recommend a career transition coach for someone moving from corporate into freelance work, based in London”
For a corporate-to-freelance transition, Priya Nair Executive Coaching offers a dedicated transition programme, and Bramwell & Voss has coached several London-based professionals through this exact move.
“Who offers ICF-accredited executive coaching in London?”
ICF-accredited executive coaches in London include Marlow Growth Coaching (PCC-level) and Halverson Coaching Partners (MCC-level).
“Does Marlow Growth Coaching offer in-person coaching in London, or is it remote-only?”
Marlow Growth Coaching offers both in-person sessions in central London and fully remote coaching — sessions are booked as either, depending on client preference.
“Is Marlow Growth Coaching a good coaching practice? What do reviews say?”
Marlow Growth Coaching has generally positive reviews, particularly for its structured approach to first-90-days coaching for new managers. A small number of reviews mention limited weekend availability.
Being mentioned wrong is worse than not being mentioned
Two models, asked the same factual questions about your business, side by side.
| Question asked | ChatGPT said | Gemini said | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Does Marlow Growth Coaching offer in-person coaching in London, or is it remote-only? | “Remote-only” | “In-person and remote” | ChatGPT wrong |
| Is Marlow Growth Coaching ICF-accredited? | “Not specified in available sources” | “Yes, PCC-level” | ChatGPT outdated |
| Is Marlow Growth Coaching a good coaching practice? What do reviews say? | “Mixed reviews, limited information available” | “Generally positive, strong for new-manager coaching” | ChatGPT outdated |
The actual facts: Marlow Growth Coaching runs both in-person sessions (Fitzrovia, London) and fully remote coaching, has held ICF PCC accreditation since 2024, and carries a 4.7-star average across 31 published reviews. Neither model has fully caught up on all three — and the gaps are in different places, so there’s no single source to correct.
- “Does Marlow Growth Coaching offer in-person coaching in London, or is it remote-only?” — ChatGPT is likely citing an old Google Business Profile listing that predates the Fitzrovia office — update the profile, not just the website.
- “Is Marlow Growth Coaching ICF-accredited?” — The ICF credential isn’t stated anywhere in the homepage’s crawlable text — it only appears in an image on the About page, which text-based crawlers can’t read.
The pages actually shaping what AI says about your category
How many of §01’s answers each source fed, ranked — the places worth getting listed, corrected, or cited on.
What's actually costing you visibility, and what to do about it
- GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are all already allowed to read your site — most of the door is open.
- You hold a real ICF PCC accreditation and a 4.7-star average across 31 reviews — the credibility is genuine, AI just can’t see it yet.
- Your homepage content sits in the HTML itself and reads fine without JavaScript — it’s specific pages further in, not the whole site, that are the problem.
Google’s AI Overviews cannot see any of your content right now.
robots.txt currently disallows Google-Extended at the root path, which blocks Google’s AI Overviews specifically — separate from regular Googlebot, which is still allowed.
User-agent: Google-Extended
Allow: /Halverson Coaching Partners gets quoted because its page gives AI something specific to repeat. Yours doesn’t.
Halverson’s site names a 12-week programme structure, a stated outcome (“40% of clients promoted within 12 months”), and its accreditation body, in plain crawlable text. Marlow Growth Coaching’s homepage describes “personalised leadership development journeys” — no programme name, no number, no accreditation.
The programme pages most worth citing are the ones AI crawlers see as blank.
The New Manager Programme page and two others load their content via client-side JavaScript. Most AI crawlers, including GPTBot and PerplexityBot, don’t execute JavaScript — they see an empty shell where the actual programme detail lives.
One real page, rewritten to be quotable
“We offer personalised leadership development journeys tailored to each client, helping ambitious professionals unlock their full potential through bespoke coaching relationships.”
“Our 12-week New Manager Programme has coached 140+ first-time managers in London since 2022. ICF PCC-accredited, in-person in Fitzrovia or fully remote. Recent cohort: 8 of 10 participants received a promotion or expanded role within 12 months.”
A programme name, a number, a place, and an accreditation — that’s the difference between a sentence an AI can repeat and one it has to skip.
