seora.one for Coaches and consultants
Recognised as an expert – by Google, AI assistants and clients
Nobody buys coaching or consulting on the strength of a single search result. Clients describe a problem – “new manager conflicts in the team”, “succession in a family business” – read articles, check references and ask AI assistants for experts. The people who become visible are those with a clear topic who back it up in many places: on their own website, in articles, podcasts and profiles.

What a finding for Coaches and consultants looks like
Every finding names the evidence on your website and what to do – exactly as it appears in your report.
Example with made-up values – your report names the findings for your website.

Where websites in this industry typically lose customers
No recognisable topic
“I support people through change” fits countless websites. Without a clear topic and target group, there’s no search for which this page would be the best answer – and AI assistants can’t assign you to any field.
Methods instead of concerns
Certificates and method names take centre stage, while clients’ questions are pushed into the background. People searching describe their problem, not the method that might solve it.
Expertise only in the LinkedIn feed
Good posts appear on LinkedIn and are gone after two days. Collected and expanded on your website, they could be found, linked to and cited as a source.
References without substance
Client logos or anonymous quotes like “Very helpful – M. K.” prove little. Short case studies with the starting situation and approach say far more to prospects and search engines.

What the audit checks for you
Topics and search terms
Which topics your website is found for today, where there are gaps compared with your offers and which competitors own these searches.
Named as an expert in AI answers
Whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name you when asked for experts on your topic, and which sources they draw on.
Presence in third-party sources
Whether you are mentioned in specialist portals, directories, podcasts or trade media – sources that AI assistants rely on.
Structured data on you and your services
Whether you as a person, your qualifications and your services are marked up so that search engines can assign you to a field of expertise.
Platforms that matter in your industry
The audit checks whether your business can be found there and whether your name, address and services match everywhere – AI assistants rely heavily on exactly these sources.
- Bark
- Trustpilot
- Google Business Profile
- Coach directories of associations such as EMCC or ICF
Suitable structured data
So that search engines and AI systems can read your details unambiguously:
- Person with knowsAbout
- ProfessionalService
- Service
- Article for expert articles
The line between coaching and therapy
Coaching is usually not a protected profession, but psychotherapy and other health professions are regulated: anyone offering or advertising treatment for mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety disorders needs the relevant qualification and registration. Website copy should therefore draw a clear line between coaching and therapy. For online programmes, consumer rules on distance contracts and cancellation may also apply.
General information, not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions
Through topics rather than places. Pages on your target group’s specific concerns, expert articles and case studies match the searches clients use when looking for solutions – wherever you happen to be based.
Mentions like these show search engines and AI assistants that others see you as an expert on a topic. They provide something your own website can’t on its own: outside confirmation – provided your name and topic are the same everywhere.
Some guidance helps, such as a day rate or a package with its scope. If you leave prices out entirely, you lose private clients and small businesses in particular, who want to judge in advance whether the offer is right for them.
