Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before the first conversation.

Understand what ICAIO does, what the free audit includes and how practical AI work is scoped and delivered.

About ICAIO

Services, fit and expectations.

What does ICAIO actually do?

ICAIO helps businesses use AI in practical ways: automating repetitive work, improving visibility across AI-powered search, building smarter growth systems and providing focused software for commercial problems.

Is the AI Visibility Audit really free?

Yes. The initial audit request and concise findings are free, with no obligation to buy a service. If ICAIO believes further work could add value, that conversation is separate and your choice.

Do you only work with large organisations?

No. The approach scales to the problem. ICAIO works with local businesses, growing teams and established organisations, adapting the depth of discovery, stakeholders and implementation to the situation.

Can you work with our existing tools?

Often, yes. Discovery starts with the systems, owners, permissions and constraints already in place. The aim is to improve the workflow without replacing tools unnecessarily.

How do you handle data and access?

Access, permissions, storage, retention, human review and ownership are agreed during discovery. ICAIO only proposes controls that can be implemented and evidenced for the specific project.

Do you guarantee rankings, AI recommendations or revenue?

No. Search platforms, AI systems and commercial outcomes are outside any supplier's complete control. ICAIO focuses on clarity, technical accessibility, evidence and responsible implementation, then measures what changes.

What happens after I submit an enquiry?

ICAIO reviews the context, responds with an honest next step and may suggest a short conversation. If the request is not a good fit, you will be told clearly.

Projects

Scope, timing and support.

How much does a project cost?

Scope and cost depend on the workflow, number of systems, access, risk and delivery depth. ICAIO will first clarify the problem and then propose a proportionate route; no price is implied by the initial conversation.

How quickly can we start?

Availability changes with active work. After reviewing your context, ICAIO will tell you the realistic next step and timing rather than promising a date before the scope is understood.

Can ICAIO deliver only part of a larger programme?

Yes. Discovery, a focused prototype, one integration or a visibility foundation can be scoped as a defined part of wider work where responsibilities are clear.

Do you provide ongoing support?

Where it is useful, improvement and support can be part of the engagement. Ownership, response expectations and what is included are agreed explicitly.

Solutions

Implementation and data.

Are the solutions ready to switch on immediately?

They are focused starting points, not universal plug-and-play products. Suitability, data, brand, consent, integration and oversight need to be understood before any implementation.

Can the solutions integrate with our current systems?

Potentially. The right route depends on the systems, available interfaces, permissions and quality of the underlying data.

Will ICAIO use our data to train public AI models?

No such use should be assumed. Specific providers, data flows and retention controls are agreed for the implementation before information is connected.
