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.
