The audit
Every answer in full, the competitors named, the platform map ordered by how much the AI leaned on each site, and an action list: what to claim, complete or get listed on first.
FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES
Does the AI recommend you in your city?
A buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google “which dentist in Austin” and gets three names. The AI takes those names from maps, review sites and directories — not from your website. We ask the same city questions, show who the AI recommends, and give you the exact sites to fix.

How the AI picks a local business
- A city question is answered from the sites the AI trusts for that city: map listings, review platforms, local directories, a few articles.
- A business that is incomplete or absent on those sites is not recommended, however good its own website is.
- The answer names two to five businesses. The buyer rarely asks for more.
- The same question gets a different answer in each AI system, so one system is not enough to measure.
What we measure
Your market is described with the words a buyer uses and the city they are in. Your company name never goes into the question.
- Six buyer questions for your niche and city, asked of six AI systems: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Mode, Yandex Generative Search and GigaChat.
- Whether you are named, who is named instead, and in what order.
- The sites every answer leaned on, and whether you are present on each.
- In the subscriptions: the same questions again, weekly or daily, with an alert when something changes.
What you get
Monitor and Growth
The same questions repeated, alerts when you drop out of an answer, history over time. Growth adds ready texts for each platform gap, submission kits, how the AI describes you and which facts it gets wrong, and traffic from AI in your analytics.
Your market page
A public page “who AI recommends: your niche in your city”, built from real answers — on request in Growth, for the niche and city you choose.
Ads where the AI is silent
The buyer questions the AI does not answer with your name become keywords and a paused campaign plan for your Meta Ads or Google Ads connector. Nothing is spent from our side.
Who AI already recommends
Public pages built from real answers, by niche and city. If your niche and city are not there yet, a Growth subscriber can request them.
Questions
Do I need a website?
No. Many local businesses are recommended out of a map listing or a review profile and have no site. The audit measures those sites instead.
Which city question is asked?
Six templates in the buyer’s words: who to recommend, the best in the city, good reviews, reliable, value for money, who to call first. Your competitors are never put into the question.
Can you guarantee the AI will recommend me?
No one can. We show what the AI reads, where you are missing, and what to publish; the AI’s answers change as those sites change.
Is this different from SEO?
Partly. The AI answer is assembled from several sites at once, so the work is on the listings and review sites the answer cites, not only on your own pages.
