You do not need more AI hype. You need to know what is worth doing.

Most of the business owners I talk to are not short of AI tools. They are short of a straight answer.

  • People now ask ChatGPT or Gemini for a recommendation. You have no idea whether your name comes up.
  • Your website looks fine from the front. Underneath, it may be hiding you.
  • You pay for three AI subscriptions and use one.
  • You have an idea for an app, but no clear first version.

I start with the problem. Sometimes the answer is a fix, sometimes a small tool, and sometimes a £30 subscription you already have. You will be told which.

01 · Be found

See what Google and AI assistants can find about your business. Then fix it.

An audit covers three things. How AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity answer when a customer asks for what you do. Your website's SEO, page by page. And your Google Business Profile. You get what is holding you back, in order, and what to do about each item.

If you would rather not do the work yourself, I do it for you, on the website you have or on a new one built to be found.

What an audit cannot do

Promise that an AI assistant will recommend you. Answers change with the platform, the wording of the question, the location and the week. The report shows what was asked, when, and what came back.

How it works, step by step

  1. Free check

    Is AI recommending your business? A short report, free, no card.

    Free

  2. Complete Report

    Around 60 pages about your business, not a template: three scores, an executive summary, five things to do this month and a roadmap. A Progress Report is included within 90 days, once the fixes are in.

    • Action Plan, £49. Every finding turned into a task, with the steps, who does it, and how to check it is done.
    • Growth reports, £11.99 each or all three for £29.
      What the three reports are
      • Business Strategist. One goal, such as doubling qualified enquiries within 6 to 12 months, turned into a focused plan: three to five priorities, experiments with clear decision rules, and checkpoints. A plan to test, not a promise.
      • By the book. A well-known business book applied to your business, turned into offers, pricing and experiments you could try.
      • Monetisation ideas. New ways the business could earn from what it already does.
    £99

  3. Fix what you have

    I carry out the Action Plan on your existing site, WordPress or plain HTML. The price comes from the plan itself, so you get a quote straight after the report.

    Quoted

  4. A new website, built to be found

    For when the old site is not worth fixing. WordPress if you want to edit it yourself, a fast static site if you do not. Priced by scope.

    Quoted

Go ahead with either within 60 days and the £99 comes off the price.

02 · Build something useful

Have an app idea, or not sure where AI fits? Start with the problem.

App Creation

From business problem to working AI application.

You may know the problem without knowing which AI model to use, what belongs in the first version, or whether AI is needed at all. I help you pin down the users and the essential features, then build the smallest version that tests the idea.

  1. Define. The problem, the users, and what a good result looks like.
  2. Plan. The first version's features, the data it needs, and what it will cost to run.
  3. Design. How it looks and works, including where a person checks the output.
  4. Prototype. A working link, early.
  5. Test. Accuracy, speed, cost and failure cases, with real users where possible.
  6. Refine. Then decide: stronger prototype, first live version, larger build, or stop.

You get a working link early, and the source code at the end. No builder platform in the middle.

Discuss your app idea

Consultancy

Find the right AI opportunity before you pay for the technology.

An independent look at where AI would help your business, which tools are worth keeping, and what should not be built. Useful before you commission a larger project, or when you want a second opinion on one.

You receive a short written plan: what to do first, what to leave, and roughly what it costs to run.

Every application on this site is one of my own, built and run day to day. I would rather show you those than invent client logos.

How a project goes

  1. Understand

    What the business does, who it serves, what is not working, and what a good outcome looks like.

  2. Assess

    Your website, your Google profile, your tools, and what AI answers say about you today.

  3. Prioritise

    What to do first, what can wait, and what should not be built at all.

  4. Create

    The fixes, the new website, the prototype or the application. Or a written plan you carry out yourself.

Not every conversation ends in a project. If a cheaper tool or a simpler fix does the job, that is the answer you get.

Jean-Luc Benazet, founder of Visual Network

The person doing the work

I am Jean-Luc Benazet. I have photographed people in and around Cambridge for more than 27 years, as Cambridge Photographers, and I run Cambridge Tours. That is 27 years of sitting across from clients, working out what they actually need, and delivering it by a date. I have also worked as a French translator since 1998.

I have used AI tools every day since early 2023, and I build the applications on this site myself, with Claude. Visual Network is one person. The person who reads your message is the person who does the work.

I am not an AI expert. Nobody is, after three years of this. I am an AI enthusiast who has shipped real tools with it, and I will tell you where they fall over.

Questions people ask

What does an AI visibility audit measure?

Three things. Whether AI assistants name your business when asked the questions your customers ask. How well search engines can crawl and understand your website. And how complete your Google Business Profile is. Each finding comes with what to do about it.

Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No, and nobody honestly can. Answers vary by platform, model, question, location and date. What I can do is remove the reasons you are being left out, and show you, dated and in writing, what the assistants said before and after.

Do I need a new website?

Usually not. Most sites can be fixed. A new one makes sense when the old one is slow, hard to change, or built on something that fights you. The report will say which.

What kind of AI applications can you build?

Focused tools that do one job well: research and reporting tools, document checkers, lead research, content support, dashboards, and small customer-facing utilities. Visibility Pilot and Lead Finder are two examples.

Do I need a full technical specification?

No. A clear description of the problem and who has it is enough to start. Working out the rest is part of the job.

What is the difference between a prototype and a finished application?

A prototype tests whether the idea works. It is not built to carry real customers or sensitive data. A live application needs proper sign-in, security, error handling and hosting. I will always tell you which one you are getting.

Do you work with businesses outside Cambridge?

Yes. Most of the work happens remotely, anywhere in the UK, in English or French.

How are prices worked out?

The Complete Report is a fixed £99. Website fixes are quoted from the Action Plan. Apps and consultancy are quoted after a first conversation, once the scope is clear.

How is confidential information handled?

Only the information the job needs, kept for as long as the job needs it. Please do not send passwords, API keys or client data through the contact form. The privacy notice has the detail.

  • I read every enquiry myself.
  • The first conversation is about the problem, not a product.

  • If Visual Network is not the right fit, I will say so, and where I can, point you to someone who is.
