About
Who is behind Appear?
Appear is the monthly local SEO and GEO service of creativebyjake, a small Australian web business run by Jake Kurl in NSW. creativebyjake builds websites for local businesses; Appear is for getting any local business found, whoever built its site.
Why a separate site?
creativebyjake.com.au is where people go when they need a website built. This site is for the business that already has one and wants to be found with it: the free check, the comparisons, the guides and the glossary live here, and the work itself is done by the same people.
Why are we in our own comparisons?
Because a comparison of the providers that AI assistants name would be odd without the company writing it. So creativebyjake sits in the tables on the same terms as everyone else, every page that compares says so at the top, and the verdicts say where others are the better choice.
Where do the facts come from?
From each provider's own public pages, read on the date shown beside them, and linked. Where a provider does not publish a price, we write "not shown" rather than guess. Which providers we compare comes from what ChatGPT and Claude named, and what Bing showed in Australia, for real customer questions in October 2026.
If something about your business is out of date or wrong, email creativebyjake@gmail.com and we will correct it and re-date the page.
