AI authority for founder-led service businesses
Be the expert AI recognises.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity who to trust in your field, the answer comes from whoever AI can read and verify. We set you up to be that person.
5 spots open this month. We take 5 spots every month. Next intake opens monthly.
A client with an established website had no AI-readability results and no idea why. After qualifying with Correm Digital, they became an expert in their industry, and AI can now read them.

The problem
You're easy to find. You're hard to verify.
Your website may rank on Google. Clients may already know your name. But when AI answers a question in your field, it doesn't rely on reputation. It relies on what it can read, understand and confirm.
For most founders, that's very little. The website describes the business, not the person. The expertise is written in paragraphs, not structured so a machine can understand it. So AI is left to guess who the expert is behind the company, or it points to someone else.
The three layers
Your business has been through two stages. The third decides whether AI knows who you are.
Physical
Your business exists in the real world. People find you through word of mouth, referrals and relationships.
Digital
Your business exists online. People find your website, your profiles and your posts.
Virtual
Your business and your expertise are understood by AI. It can read who you are, what you’re an expert in, and verify it.
A world where physical and digital presence coexist.
By "virtual," we mean machine-readable and verifiable. AI understands you without guessing.
Most founders are physical and digital. Almost none are virtual.
And writing "digital authority" on your website is not the same as setting it up. Saying you're an expert is a claim. Setting it up is an identity: your name, your expertise and your credentials defined in a way AI can read and confirm. Most founders have the claim. Very few have the identity.
What we do
We set up your virtual identity.
We build you as a named expert in your field, not as a company name with a person somewhere behind it. Your expertise, credentials and work are attached to your name, linked to your business, and structured so AI can read them, and then validated with Google's own tools.
The business is the vehicle. You are the authority.
QualifyProof
Proof, not promises.
An established website with no AI-readability results became an A+, and the founder became an expert in their industry. Validated by Google’s Rich Results Test and SEOptimer.
Our own site reached first place in search for our company name, Correm Digital, using the same method we build for clients.
We never promise a recommendation. No one can guarantee what AI says. We build the authority and structure that makes you the person it has the evidence to recommend.
Who this is for
Built for one kind of business.
This is for you if:
- You founded the business.
- You deliver the work yourself.
- You sell a service, such as expertise, advice or delivery.
- Clients choose you because of you.
Examples
Consultants, business and executive coaches, boutique agency owners, attorneys, financial advisors, architects and private-practice specialists.
This is not for you if you sell products or software, or your business runs without you at the centre. We say so up front because the work only makes sense when there's a person to build around.
Why we limit the spots
We take 5 spots every month.
Every build is set up by hand and validated individually. We don't run a queue and we don't mass-produce it. When the spots for the month are filled, we close the intake.
We take 5 spots per month.
The next intake opens monthly.
Three reasons not to wait
- The spots are limited. If this month’s five spots fill, you wait for the next monthly intake.
- AI is forming its picture of who the experts are right now. The founders who are structured and readable first are the ones AI has evidence for when people start asking.
- Every month unstructured is a month AI guesses. It fills the gaps with assumptions, or with someone else's name.
How it begins
Three steps. The first is a conversation.
- Book a call. A 20 to 30 minute call. No pitch deck.
- We show you what AI currently understands about you. What it detects, what it misses and what it gets wrong.
- We decide together whether to build. If it's a fit, we confirm your spot. If it isn't, you keep what you've learned.
Questions
Good questions.
Do you guarantee AI will recommend me?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Recommendations depend on factors nobody controls. We build the authority, the structure and the identity that gives AI the evidence to recommend you, and we validate it with Google's tools.
Why only founder-led service businesses?
Because the method builds authority around a person. If there's no single person at the centre, there's nothing for us to build around.
How long does it take?
Set-up takes 48 to 72 hours (2 to 3 days).
What's a GEO score?
It's a measure of how readable and verifiable your website is to AI systems. It's how we show where you stand now and what changed after the build.
Services
Authority, set up properly.
Every founder wants to be the name in their field. The person clients seek out, other experts refer to, and AI points to by name.
Wanting it isn't the same as having it. Authority online is something that's set up: defined, structured and verified. This is how we do it.
The method
Built around you, not around the business.
Most websites describe a company. We build around the person. Three things have to be true for AI to treat you as an authority:
You're defined as a named expert.
Not "the team." You, as your own entity, linked to your business.
Your expertise carries your name.
Your credentials, your thinking and your work, attributed to you.
It's consistent everywhere.
The same identity on your website, your profiles and wherever you appear.
We then validate all of it with Google's own tools, so it's confirmed, not assumed.
The three stages
One direction, in order.
Authority Audit
A full read of how AI currently sees you: what it detects, what it misses and what it gets wrong. You see your GEO score and the gap between the authority you claim and the identity that exists.
For the founder who wants to know exactly where they stand.
Authority Build
The complete set-up of your virtual identity: you defined as a named expert, your expertise and credentials attached to your name, your pages structured, and the whole build validated and tracked.
For the founder ready to be the named authority.
Authority Upkeep
Monthly monitoring and refinement. AI systems keep changing, so your identity is checked, adjusted and kept current, and your GEO score is tracked month to month.
For the founder who intends to stay the authority.
5 spots open this month.
QualifyOur standard
Every build is validated with Google's Rich Results Test and measured with a GEO score, before and after. We show you the result and the evidence behind it. We don't promise what we can't control.

QualifyResults
What the work looks like.
From no results to an A+ on AI-readiness, validated by Google’s Rich Results Test and SEOptimer.
Case study: no results to A+
Who: An e-commerce art studio.
Where they started
An established website with no AI-readability results. Nothing about the business or the expert behind it could be read.
Where they ended up
An A+, validated by Google’s Rich Results Test and SEOptimer.
What we did
We ran an Authority Audit, then repositioned the business with expertise and structured data for AI readability.
Our own site
We used the same method on correm.digital. It reached first place in search for Correm Digital.
An honest note: these results show a measurable improvement in how readable and credible a site is to AI and search systems. We don’t claim, and no one can guarantee, that AI will recommend a specific person.
About
Two founders. One belief: the person is the asset.
Correm Digital is a Cape Town company built on a simple idea. People trust people, and so does AI. A founder’s name carries more weight than a company name, and it stays with them whatever happens to the business.
We practise this ourselves. You’ll find us here, not a faceless team.
