Based in Stanmore, London, Tiso Digital is a little different from your typical marketing agency. Specialising in helping its clients get found online, the company serves both English-speaking and Cantonese-speaking clients. With roots in traditional search engine optimisation (SEO), the forward-thinking company has mastered AI search optimisation (AIO) to help small businesses take advantage of the opportunities this new technology presents. We chat with owner and founder, Eric Lee, to find out more. Best Local SEO & AI Search Optimisation Agency 2026 As technology evolves, the world has become smaller and competition more fierce. With seemingly limitless possibilities at our fingertips, we can find anything we need in seconds. But how is that impacting small businesses? Is it fair to assume that larger brands with bigger budgets can now dominate the online space, leaving little room for smaller companies? If not, how do SMEs keep or grow their share of the commercial pie? Business strategy only works in today’s complex world if it aligns with technological advances. When AI-powered searches began to appear in mid-2024, the concept revolutionised the way we find information online. No more guessing phrases and hoping to find a blog or paper on the subject. Now we can simply ask a question and get AI to do the work for us. Founded in 2024, Tiso Digital is dedicated to helping small businesses get found online. Offering keyword strategy, content, technical SEO and local search optimisation for its clients, the company has witnessed first-hand the changing landscape of online searches. Eric tells us: “When we saw the industry shift towards AI-driven search, so did we. Today, roughly half of our strategy is built around preparing clients’ content to be cited by AI search engines.” Familiar with the Hong Kong community and understanding the struggles of working in a bilingual environment, Eric is dedicated to helping Cantonese-speaking business owners bridge the digital marketing gap. Tiso Digital provides an honest, measurable service for businesses that can’t afford to waste their marketing budget. He says: “We're genuinely bilingual and bicultural. That means we can run campaigns in English and Traditional Chinese. We understand how the Hong Kong diaspora searches, buys and communicates. Very few UK agencies can do that properly.” While many agencies are still selling 2019-style SEO, Tiso Digital restructures its clients’ content specifically with AI systems in mind. Clear definitions, direct answers, and verifiable sources all help the company's clients rise to the top of the search results. Eric adds: “One of our property clients now gets recommended by AI chatbots when Hong Kong landlords ask about UK rental management. That's not something you can fake. We only take on clients where we believe marketing can actually move the needle forward for them.” Demand for Cantonese services is high in areas such as property, food, and family services, and search competition is relatively low. Based in London, the company is close to the Hong Kong community and the businesses that serve it. Both these factors enable Eric and the team to build effective strategies with ease. Staffed only with digital specialists, Tiso Digital is establishing itself as a go-to voice on AI search optimisation for UK small businesses. In the second half of 2026, the company plans to publish a series of articles explaining how SMEs can get ahead of the AIO revolution. Articles will be published in both English and Chinese. As the business evolves, Eric’s mission remains the same: to help smaller businesses compete in places where only the big players used to win.
