Hi, I'm Vicky Sidler

A StoryBrand Certified Guide & Fellow Entrepreneur


And believe me, I GET IT! I understand the frustration of marketing that just doesn't seem to work. I know what it's like to feel lost in a sea of tactics and strategies. When I started my agency in 2020, I was just a small fish in a big pond, trying to stand out from whale-sized competitors. (I’m also a qualified scuba diver, in case you’re wondering about these metaphors…)

Since then, we developed a proven, data-driven marketing strategy (powered by StoryBrand) that has helped both us and countless clients get noticed, attract the right customers, grow their ideal client base, and make an impact with their marketing and their businesses.

  • We boast a proven track record of transforming marketing messages to resonate with target audiences.

  • As StoryBrand Certified Guides, we apply the renowned StoryBrand Framework to everything we do with impressive results!

  • And as a Duct Tape Certified Agency, we’ve gone through an extensive certification process to offer you a holistic, systematic approach to marketing – a system that truly works.

You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we'll take your marketing from confusing to crystal clear. Let's make your brand's message stand out and connect with the people who matter most to your business.

I used the StoryBrand ‘one-liner’ yesterday for the first time to create some awareness on my various social media platforms. I have never had so many likes and interest on one of my coaching ads before. I am booking some consultations as we speak. You guys are amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are our answers to the most frequently asked questions about marketing and lead generation.

What is StoryBrand?

StoryBrand is a marketing framework developed by Donald Miller that helps businesses clarify their message so it resonates with their target audience. It centres around creating a story for your brand where the customer is the hero, and your business is the guide that helps them overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.

How can StoryBrand help my business?

Implementing the StoryBrand framework can transform how you communicate with your customers. It simplifies your message, making it easier for customers to understand how your products or services can solve their problems. This clear communication helps increase engagement, conversions, and customer loyalty, ultimately driving growth for your business.

What does the process of creating a StoryBrand BrandScript involve?

Creating a StoryBrand BrandScript involves identifying key elements of your brand's story, such as defining your customer's problem, positioning your brand as the guide with a solution, and outlining a plan that leads the customer to success. This script serves as the foundation for all your marketing materials, ensuring a consistent and compelling message across all platforms.

How do I choose the right StoryBrand guide for my business?

Be sure to choose a StoryBrand guide who prioritizes strategy over tactics. A strategic-first approach ensures your marketing is built on a solid foundation, preventing wasted time and resources in the long run. Look for a guide focused on aligning your core message and goals before diving into marketing actions, ensuring your efforts attract the right leads and drive meaningful results.

AI Visibility: What ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity Cite Most

AI Visibility: What ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity Cite Most

August 12, 20253 min read

By Vicky Sidler | Published 12 August 2025 at 12:00 GMT

AI might be writing the internet now, but where does it get its information?

If you thought ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity were pulling from the same pool, new research from Profound says otherwise. After analyzing 30 million citations from August 2024 to June 2025, the study found wildly different preferences in what these platforms trust and repeat.

For small businesses, this isn’t just trivia—it’s a roadmap for getting your brand seen by AI, which increasingly means getting seen by your audience.


TL;DR

  • ChatGPT loves Wikipedia (47.9% of its top citations)

  • Google AI spreads attention across Reddit, YouTube, Quora, and LinkedIn

  • Perplexity is Reddit-obsessed (46.7%) and leans on review sites

  • .com dominates AI citations (80.4%), with .org second at 11.3%

  • No single strategy works across platforms—visibility needs platform-specific tactics

Why This Matters for Small Businesses:

In marketing terms, “AI visibility” is your ability to show up when someone asks an AI tool about your topic.

These patterns matter because AI often acts as a gatekeeper—summarizing, paraphrasing, and sourcing content without users ever clicking through. If you’re not in the AI’s source set, you may as well be invisible.

ChatGPT—Wikipedia’s Biggest Fan:

If you want ChatGPT to notice you, Wikipedia is the first stop. Nearly half of its top citations come from there, with Reddit a distant second. Business and tech outlets like Forbes, G2, and TechRadar also make the list.

Actionable Tip:

  • Maintain and regularly update an accurate Wikipedia page (follow editorial rules to avoid removal)

  • Build relationships with reputable media sites that ChatGPT already cites

  • Think “evergreen” and factual content—it’s more likely to be cited

Google AI Overviews—The Social-Professional Hybrid:

Google’s AI plays the field. Reddit (21%) and YouTube (18.8%) lead, but LinkedIn and Quora are close behind. It also dips into high-authority sources like Gartner and NerdWallet.

Actionable Tip:

  • Actively engage on Reddit and Quora with well-written, helpful answers

  • Publish short, searchable videos on YouTube

  • Share industry-relevant posts and articles on LinkedIn for professional reach

Perplexity—Powered by Reddit and Reviews:

Perplexity leans heavily on Reddit (46.7%) but also taps into review-heavy platforms like Yelp, TripAdvisor, and G2. This suggests a focus on real-world experiences and consumer opinions.

Actionable Tip:

  • Join relevant Reddit communities and contribute thoughtfully

  • Encourage customers to leave detailed reviews on Yelp, TripAdvisor, and G2

  • Use video (YouTube) and professional content (LinkedIn) to round out visibility

The Domain Factor:

Across all platforms, .com domains dominate with more than 80% of citations, followed by .org at 11.3%. Niche domains like .ai and .io are gaining ground in tech-related queries.

Actionable Tip:

  • Secure and use a .com if possible for authority

  • Consider adding a .ai or .io microsite if your niche is tech-forward

  • Publish consistent, high-quality content to increase domain trustworthiness

What This Means for Your Marketing:

There’s no single “AI SEO” trick that works everywhere. A Wikipedia push might help with ChatGPT but do little for Perplexity. A YouTube blitz might boost Google AI mentions but get ignored by ChatGPT.

The smart move is to decide which AI platforms your audience uses most and focus your efforts there.

If your prospects are business leaders searching LinkedIn, focus on Google AI’s sources. If you sell direct to consumers who ask “What’s the best…?” in AI chats, Perplexity’s Reddit-and-review diet matters more.

Start with Clarity:

Even if you place your content where these platforms look, it still has to pass the clarity test. If your message is fuzzy, the AI might not cite you—or worse, it might misrepresent you.

That’s where the 5-Minute Marketing Fix comes in. It’s a free, simple tool that helps you write one sharp sentence explaining what you do, who you help, and why it matters.

Because in a world where AI is picking the winners, you can’t afford to be forgettable.
