Asked AI, Not Google.
Australian buyers are famous for researching everything before they call. Now that research happens inside ChatGPT and Gemini — and most local businesses aren't in the answer.

Australian buyers are famous for researching everything before they call. Now that research happens inside ChatGPT and Gemini — and most local businesses aren't in the answer.
Reckona works across very different markets — the constraints that actually shape a growth plan in Australia aren't the same ones that shape it in Dubai or Mumbai.
Google Ads click costs in the world for many trades, legal and finance categories — every paid click is expensive, but a free AI recommendation costs nothing
Cities, most of the population — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide carry most of the buying power, so category leadership in AI answers travels fast between them
Buyers who compare exhaustively before ever picking up the phone — reviews, credentials and case studies now get read out loud by AI before a human ever sees them
Agencies still selling SEO and social media the same way they did five years ago — almost none are actively managing how their clients show up inside AI answers yet
You don't need a Sydney postcode to get Sydney-grade output. What you need is a team still working while your local agency has already gone home.
You flag what you need before you log off for the day — a landing page tweak, a new campaign brief, an automation fix.
Our team is in its core working hours while most of Australia sleeps — build, QA and revisions happen in that window, not after it.
No local-agency lag, no "we'll get to it Monday." A local-sized team without a local-sized turnaround.
Three disciplines, one accountable team — discovery, conversion and automation working as a single system rather than three separate vendors.
Not every sector, and not by accident — these are the categories where AI-search visibility and digital experience already decide who wins the customer, and where paid-ad costs make owning the free answer worth the most.
Accountants, lawyers, migration agents and consultants — clients increasingly ask AI engines to shortlist who to call before ever opening a directory site. Being the answer, not just a listing, is the whole game here.
Highest ad costs of any category — the business that gets recommended for free wins the job before a quote is even requested.
Buyers ask AI to shortlist agents and developers long before they open a listing site.
Trust and credentials decide the booking — AI answers now summarise both.
International visitors research almost entirely through AI before landing.
High-value, high-trust decisions where being cited by name matters more than a click.
Course and provider comparisons increasingly happen inside a chat window, not a search results page.
Product recommendations inside AI answers are the newest, least-contested shelf space in retail.
Not someday — right now, before they ever open a directory site or call a sales line. Same question, four cities, four different local businesses that should be the answer.
Recommends a shortlist when asked to compare options in a category.
Surfaces named brands directly inside its answer, not just a list of links.
Cites sources and names companies it considers credible enough to mention.
Increasingly answers the query before a single blue link is shown.
Most Australian businesses have never actually checked. A free AI Visibility Score shows exactly where you stand across all four engines, today.
Check Your AI VisibilityNo local office, and no pretending there is one. Here's what working with Reckona from Australia actually looks like day to day.
A single accountable lead across GEO, web and automation — not three vendors passing you between them.
Calls and reviews scheduled inside your working day, even though build work happens on the other side of the clock.
Every engagement is quoted for your business specifically — no generic retainer menu.
Customer and lead data is treated with the same care Australian privacy expectations demand, wherever the team sits.
Reckona works on five retainer tiers, from a lighter entry point to a full enterprise program. For clients in Australia, every quote is written and invoiced in AUD, so there is no currency conversion on your side.
Our AI Marketing Department is priced at $4,000 per month (USD). It is one integrated team for strategy, content, SEO, GEO, LinkedIn, email, analytics, automation and landing pages, with human quality control and monthly reporting. A written quote in AUD is available on request. See what is included.
Other engagements, such as GEO programs, automation projects and custom retainers, are scoped after a free audit and quoted in writing.
Scope, retainer and any project fees are stated in AUD in the written quote, with taxes shown separately.
The audit sets the scope, and its fee is credited against your first invoice. No rate card to negotiate off.
You get three options at fixed scope, in writing, before any work starts.
Annual prepay earns two months free. See the full tier comparison.
No. Reckona AI works with Australian clients remotely and does not claim a local office.
Calls and reviews are scheduled inside your working day, while build work happens on the other side of the clock, so you can wake up to work done. Because the overlap is partial, a weekly rhythm of briefs and demos works best.
Australian dollars. Every quote is written and invoiced in AUD, with a free scoping audit first and a written quote before any work starts.
