When someone asks AI for a local recommendation, do you come up?
"Best [service] in [city]" is a question people now ask AI assistants directly, and the answer often names three or four specific businesses. If you're not one of them, that's booked revenue going elsewhere.
We run location- and service-based questions through ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini and score how often your business appears versus the others in your area.
For local businesses the two biggest levers are usually crawler access (so the models can read your site at all) and presence on the directories and review sites they cite — which we check and report on.
The fix is the same fixed-scope engagement: crawler access, a clear machine-readable description of what you do and where, comparison and "best in [city]" content, and directory listings.
Questions we'd ask for you
- “best dentist in Austin”
- “affordable moving companies near me”
- “top-rated HVAC repair in Denver”
…and 37 more, across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.
FAQ
- We only serve one city — is the scan still useful?
- Yes. We focus the questions on your service area and the competitors you name.
- We don't have much of a website. Does that matter?
- It matters a lot — a thin or unreadable site is the number one reason local businesses don't get cited. That's the first thing the fix addresses.
- Is there ongoing work?
- Optional. The one-off fix stands on its own; the Track plan re-measures monthly.
