Matthew Johnson, founder of Pleiades Consultancy

Hey, I'm Matthew!

What I'm building

Six things I run, from free guides to the agency itself.

Pleiades Consultancy

I'll show you what the assistants say about your business today, then build the pages, answers and signals that change it. It sits alongside whatever marketing you already run. You don't have to fire anyone to start.

AI Search Mastery

The same system written down step by step, with the checks I run on client accounts. You do the work. I show you where it usually goes wrong.

The AEO Kit

Twenty checks, scored out of 100, with the fix printed under every one. Find out why ChatGPT does not name your business when a customer asks who to call.

Free trainings

The search fundamentals underneath the AI-search work. If the basics are broken, the assistants have nothing good to read about you.

YouTube channel

The same work, said out loud, usually with my screen shared.

The newsletter

One field note a week. What I tested, what the numbers did, and what I'd do differently. Free, and there's no call to book.
