Search Scope provides SEO, AI search visibility and Google account recovery services to established Australian businesses, delivered by its founder rather than through account managers.[1] It describes itself as a consultancy that sells services, not software.[1]

Named methods
Local Traffic System
Search Scope’s local SEO and Google Business Profile retainers are delivered as the Local Traffic System, which brings local organic SEO, AI search visibility and Google Business Profile optimisation together in one program, rather than billing each as a separate service.[1]
AI Entity Authority System
For AI search visibility, Search Scope uses the AI Entity Authority System, a five-part method whose parts are named Resolve, Cover, Evidence, Corroborate and Measure.[1] Progress is measured by Recommendation Share: across a fixed set of commercial prompts, the share of prompts in which an AI system actively recommends the brand.[1]
Network Visibility System
Franchise and multi-location networks are handled under the Network Visibility System, which runs in four stages, in order.[3]
- Govern: decide who owns the listings, the website and the lead data before any page work, with corporate owning the Google Business Profiles and each franchisee added as a manager.
- Structure: a single domain organised into location subfolders, with each location’s page carrying genuinely local material, so that locations stop competing with each other in search.
- Surface: profiles, reviews and local signals worked location by location, with pages structured so AI answers can quote them.
- Prove: reporting per location rather than a brand average, geo-grid coverage, and AI visibility tracked alongside rankings.
Reinstatement sequence
Search Scope’s reinstatement work on Google Business Profile, Merchant Center and Google Ads accounts always diagnoses before it appeals: the exact policy breach is pinned down first, the cause behind it is fixed, and only then is a documented compliance case lodged with Google.[1]
Trust Stack
Search Scope’s website presents its work as a Trust Stack of six connected layers, running from technical foundation through content authority, external validation, platform signals, and reputation and reviews, to AI and entity trust.[2]
Terms and pricing
Ongoing engagements run month to month, with 30 days notice and no lock-in contracts.[4] Search Scope publishes its pricing on its website. Its SEO, local search and AI search engagements are charged either as a monthly retainer or as a fixed fee for a project, agreed after a scoping call; the only work billed by the hour is advisory-only Google Business Profile consulting.[1]
What it does not offer
Search Scope does not provide social media management, web design or brand strategy, and describes its focus as SEO and AI search only.[4]
Free tools
Search Scope publishes free tools on its website: an Australian SEO glossary of 120 definitions, an AI Visibility Scanner, an 84-item generative engine optimisation checklist, an interactive 36-point Google Business Profile checklist, an SEO campaign ROI calculator, and a Chrome extension, the LLM URL Source Extractor, that lists the source URLs AI search engines cite.[1]
