See How ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity Describe Your Business Right Now

Most local businesses have no idea how AI tools are answering questions about them — or whether they're showing up at all. This tool shows you where you stand and gives you a clear path to improve your AI citation presence.

Are AI tools finding your business — or someone else's?

When people search for what you do, something has changed. Tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude are now answering questions directly — pulling together information and recommending businesses without the person ever clicking to a website.

If your business isn't showing up in those answers, a potential customer is already being directed somewhere else. And you probably don't even know it's happening.

That's what this tool is for.

See where you stand in AI-generated search

Our Local Search AI Checker looks at how your business is represented across the AI tools your customers are already using. It's not about website traffic or keyword rankings — it's about what AI is actually saying about you when someone asks a question you should be answering.

You'll see:

  • Whether your business is being mentioned — and in what context
  • How AI tools describe what you do, who you serve, and how you compare to competitors
  • Where the gaps are — the questions being asked that you're not showing up in
  • What sources AI is pulling from when it does reference your business

No complicated dashboards. Just a clear picture of where you stand and what to do about it.

Why this matters right now

Most small businesses have spent years building a presence on Google. That still matters. But AI search is a different game, and the rules are still being written.

The businesses that will show up in AI-generated answers six months from now are the ones paying attention today — making sure their information is accurate, their content answers real questions, and their online presence gives AI tools something worth citing.

This checker is the first step in knowing where you actually are.

What you'll walk away with

  • A snapshot of your AI visibility across the major platforms
  • A plain-language breakdown of how your brand is being described
  • A comparison of how you stack up against competitors in your market
  • Specific gaps and opportunities — the kind you can actually act on

Frequently Asked Questions

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It's the practice of making sure your business gets cited when someone asks an AI tool — like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity — a question that your business should be the answer to. Traditional SEO gets you found on Google's search results page. AEO gets you mentioned in the response itself. Think of it as getting a recommendation from the AI rather than just a link. As more people skip the search results and go straight to asking AI questions, showing up in those answers is becoming one of the most important visibility factors for local businesses.

SEO is about ranking on search engines like Google — getting your website to show up high in the list of results. AEO is about something different: getting AI tools to actually mention and recommend your business when someone asks a question. The two are related, but not the same. A well-optimized website helps both. But AEO goes further — it's about how your business is described, reviewed, and referenced across the web in ways that AI tools can understand and trust. You can rank on page one of Google and still be invisible to AI. Both matter now. That's the reality.

More and more people are asking AI tools things like "Who's the best plumber in Columbus?" or "Find me a financial advisor near me." They're not clicking through ten blue links anymore — they're reading the AI's answer and calling whoever it recommends. If your business isn't being cited in those answers, you're invisible to that whole group of potential customers. It's not a future problem. It's happening now. The businesses showing up in AI results are the ones with strong, consistent, well-described digital presences. The ones that aren't showing up are losing opportunities they don't even know exist.

The grader evaluates your business's visibility across the AI tools your customers are actually using — including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude. These are the tools driving the shift in how people find and choose local businesses. Rather than checking one platform, we look across the full landscape to give you a real picture of where you stand. Each tool pulls information differently and from different sources, so your presence can vary significantly from one to another. The grader surfaces those gaps so you know exactly where you're being found — and where you're not.

Your score is based on several factors that AI tools use to decide whether to recommend a business: the completeness and accuracy of your Google Business Profile, the consistency of your business information across the web, the quality and volume of your reviews, how well your website describes what you do and who you serve, and whether credible sources are referencing your business. Each of these signals tells an AI tool whether your business is real, trustworthy, and relevant to a given question. We weight them based on how much each one actually influences AI citation behavior — not just what sounds good.

Just your business name and location — that's enough to get started. The grader pulls publicly available information about your business from across the web, so you don't need to hand over any login credentials or sensitive data. If you want the most accurate results, having your website URL handy is helpful. The whole process takes about two minutes. No account required to see your score. We built it to be as low-friction as possible because we want you to actually see where you stand, not talk yourself out of it before you start.

Most businesses have three or four specific gaps that are holding them back. The most common ones we see: an incomplete or poorly written Google Business Profile, inconsistent business information across directories, too few reviews (or reviews that go unanswered), and a website that doesn't clearly describe what the business does and who it serves. Your free grade will show you where your gaps are. From there, some fixes you can handle on your own. Others — like building a broader citation footprint or optimizing your site for AI relevance — are where we can help. Either way, you'll leave with a clear picture of what to work on.

It's genuinely free. No credit card, no trial period, no account required. You put in your business name, and you get a real score with real findings. Here's the honest version of what we're hoping for: some of the people who use it will find gaps they'd like help fixing, and they'll reach out to us. That's the business model. But there's no pressure and no hidden step where the report disappears unless you book a call. We'd rather show you something useful and earn your trust than gate the results behind a sales process. If you want to take the report and handle it yourself, that's a completely reasonable outcome.
