About

Built by people who have done it, not by a dashboard.

Visitor Growth Intel exists to fix one problem: good businesses and experts stay invisible to the people searching for them. The tools show you the gaps and leave you the work. The agencies do the work slowly and dear. We built the engine that does the thinking and the work together, and we point it at getting you found on Google and in AI answers.

Visitor Growth Intel is a done-for-you visitor growth service that gets businesses and experts found on Google and in AI answers. It is built by Richard A D Jones and Chris Hutchins, and runs on the same intelligence engine behind PodcastPull and The Signal Room.

Founders

Two people, one engine.

One leads the proposition and the market. The other manages operations, architecture and the data strategy. Both have built businesses and run search at scale before.

CH

Chris Hutchins

Chris Hutchins is co-founder of Visitor Growth Intel, where he manages operations, architecture and the data strategy behind the intelligence engine.

RJ

Richard A D Jones

Leads proposition, positioning and the commercial model. A Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing who has taught at the Chartered Institute of Practitioners in Advertising (IPA) and trained agency teams at Leo Burnett. Speaker, three-time award winner and awards judge at CogX, President of a healthcare AI company that has won more than 30 international awards, author of six books, and a builder or backer of more than 30 companies. He keeps the work pointed at the outcome that matters: more of the right visitors.

Why we built it

We built the engine we always wished we could buy.

Between them, Chris and Richard have built more than 30 businesses, some returning up to 300 times the money invested, and run complex technology organisations where being found is the difference between growth and standing still. They kept needing tools that could handle even parts of what this platform now does, and kept finding nothing that pulled it together.

So we built it

Visitor Growth Intel is one intelligence engine that gets businesses and experts found on Google and in AI answers, spanning work that is usually scattered across a dozen disconnected tools. It is the next generation of visitor growth: fewer dashboards, and more of the right visitors.

The engine

One living intelligence layer, two services.

The same engine that grows Visitor Growth Intel clients also powers PodcastPull, our done-for-you discovery service for podcasts. We run it on our own brands, including The Signal Room, before we ask anyone to trust it with theirs. See how the service runs, or read the method in our insights.

  • ✓Research kept as a living asset, refreshed monthly, not binned after each job.
  • ✓One source feeding your site, content and AI-answer visibility.
  • ✓Automated intelligence, with every change approved by you before it ships.
  • ✓Enterprise capability without the enterprise price.
FAQ

About us, answered.

Who we are, and why we are not a tool or an agency.

Who is behind Visitor Growth Intel?

Richard A D Jones and Chris Hutchins. Richard leads proposition, positioning and the commercial model. Chris, a former health-system Chief Data and Analytics Officer, manages operations, architecture and the data strategy behind the engine. Both have built businesses and run search at scale.

Is this an agency or a tool?

Neither. We are a done-for-you service running on our own intelligence engine. A tool hands you data and leaves you the work. An agency does it slowly and dear. We do the thinking and the work together, and you approve every change.

What makes you different from an SEO agency?

We run on one living intelligence layer, cover AI answers as well as Google, and price in the open: a free Snapshot, a fixed 30-day Sprint, then monthly intelligence from $295. Agencies often charge $3,000 to $5,000 a month for less.
