## Plain-English summary
The Choice helps New Zealand businesses become clear, trusted and recommendable enough that AI assistants and search systems can confidently understand who they help, where they work, what they do and why they are a credible option.

The work strengthens the business information AI and customers can rely on: clear services, local relevance, specific examples, useful answers, customer proof, structured content and sound technical foundations.

## Main service packages
1. Visibility Check
   A clear first report showing what AI can understand, where the business appears, what is missing and what to fix first.

2. Fix the Foundations
   Service page, location, FAQ and website structure improvements so AI and customers can understand the business.

3. Build the Evidence
   Proof stories, local landing pages, answer-led service pages and visible trust that make a business easier to compare and recommend.

4. Ongoing Watch
   Monitoring important AI and search questions over time and improving unclear business information.
