On Top Marketing is an AI SEO agency in Manchester. We do not just get you ranking on Google, we get your business found and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, where more and more of your customers now start their search. Founded by Dan M. Jones, an SEO specialist focused on AI search visibility, we pair classic SEO with AI optimisation (GEO and AEO) and a team of specialists who make real results happen. We are Manchester based and work with clients across the UK and around the world. If you want to stay visible as search moves to AI, get in touch today.
Search is changing faster than at any point in the last decade. Google now answers many queries with an AI Overview before anyone clicks a link, and hundreds of millions of people use ChatGPT and other AI assistants to decide what to buy and who to hire. Being ranked on Google is no longer the same as being seen. An AI SEO agency makes sure your business is understood, trusted and recommended by these AI systems, as well as ranking in traditional search. That is exactly what we do, and the numbers below show why it matters.
We hold a 5.0 star rating on Google. Here is what some of the people we have worked with had to say.

We will definitely continue using On Top Marketing for all our future SEO requirements."

Search is no longer just about ranking on Google. Here is what the data shows, and why being visible in AI answers now matters as much as classic SEO.
How often people click a website link when Google shows an AI summary, down from 15% without one.
Of US Google searches now end without a single click to another website.
Of consumers have used AI to shop online, over half of them to research products.

The predicted drop in traditional search volume by 2026 as people shift to AI chatbots.
Everything we do is built to bring you more of the customers who are ready to buy.
Get found by nearby customers in Google Maps and local search across Manchester and the M postcodes.
Get your business recommended when people ask AI assistants like ChatGPT who they should use.
Fix the behind the scenes issues with speed, structure and indexing that quietly hold your rankings back.
Create pages that answer your customers' questions clearly, and rank for them.
Earn the trusted links that tell Google your site deserves to rank.
Drive qualified, ready to buy traffic to your product and category pages.
AI optimisation gets your business recommended by AI tools such as ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews, not just listed in the traditional blue links. It matters because more people now ask an AI for a recommendation instead of scrolling through Google, and the businesses that are not set up for those answers simply never get mentioned. Most Manchester agencies are still only thinking about old fashioned rankings, so you can be one of the first in your industry that AI actually points new customers towards.
We are a results first SEO agency. We do not chase vanity rankings, we grow the traffic and enquiries that actually make you money, and we show you the proof inside your own Google account.
198.54% more Google traffic in 3 months. Almost 3x the traffic, in a single quarter.

Every one of these is a real screenshot from a real client account. When you work with us, you can log in and check the numbers yourself. That is what transparent SEO looks like.
A specialist team who live and breathe AI search, and make amazing results happen.

We practise what we preach. Ask your favourite AI assistant to research On Top Marketing and tell you what it finds.
Dan M. Jones is the founder of On Top Marketing Ltd, the AI SEO agency behind this site, which he incorporated back in 2020. With over a decade in search, Dan built his practice around one big shift: AI is changing how people find businesses, and being ranked on Google is no longer the same as being recommended. Known to clients and followers as the "AI Optimisation King", he focuses on the technical clarity and structured content that help both search engines and AI assistants understand and cite a business. He shares what he knows through his free "SEO Demystified" course on YouTube, which covers influencing AI alongside SEO fundamentals, and works alongside a specialist team on every client campaign. Dan is Manchester based and works with businesses across the UK and around the world.
