When a buyer in your city asks ChatGPT, Google, Perplexity or Copilot who to hire, does your business come up? We run a fixed set of buyer prompts for your service and city, record what each tool says, and send you the findings with practical fixes.
UpdatedIt is a manual test of how AI search tools answer the questions your buyers ask. We write a fixed set of prompts based on your primary service and city, run the same prompts in each tool, and report whether your business is mentioned, whether your site is cited, and what the tools say instead. There is no charge for it.
It is useful because these tools increasingly answer the question before anyone clicks a link. If you are not in the answer, or the answer describes you wrongly, a ranking report will not show it.
For every prompt and every tool, we record five things, then summarise the pattern across all of them.
| What we check | What we record | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mentioned | Whether your business name appears in the answer at all | If you are not named, the buyer never hears of you from that answer |
| Cited | Whether one of your own pages is listed as a source | A citation is a link a buyer can click, and it shows which of your pages the tool trusts |
| Cited URL | The exact page cited, if any | Often it is not the page you would choose, such as an old blog post instead of the service page |
| Competitors | Which other businesses are named or cited instead | Shows who you are actually up against in AI answers, which can differ from who outranks you on Google |
| Accuracy | Whether the description of your business, services and location is correct | Wrong hours, services or locations cost you buyers even when you are mentioned |
Prompts are written the way buyers ask, using your primary service and city. For example, for a plumber in Halifax:
The set is fixed per check so the same questions are compared across every tool, rather than hand-picking the prompts that happen to look good.
The fixes are the same fundamentals that help in ordinary search: make your pages easy to reach and understand, make your business facts consistent, and publish evidence that belongs to you.
The check is a snapshot, not a guarantee or a ranking. Please read these before you rely on the results.
Local and service businesses that want to know how AI search tools describe them today: restaurants, home service trades, clinics, auto detailing shops and similar businesses that depend on buyers in a specific city. If you serve a national market, tell us in the primary service field and we will write prompts to match.
Tell us which business to check and what you want to be found for. We run the prompts and email you the findings.
