Is AI recommending your business?

When people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity for a business like yours, the answer names two or three. I put the questions your customers ask to all four assistants, and send you every answer.

What changed

Ten links became three names

Search gave people a page of results to scroll. If you were sixth, someone still scrolled to you.

An AI assistant gives a short answer instead, and there is no page two to be on. Two or three names, and most people ring the first. If you are not named, you are not in the conversation.

The assistants tend to name the businesses they can read clearly: a website that says what you do and where, a complete Google Business Profile, and other sites mentioning you by name.

Who's the best plumber near Ely for a boiler repair?

Here are three well-reviewed options near Ely:

  1. A business with clear service areas on its site
  2. One with a complete Google Business Profile
  3. One that other sites mention by name

Your business? Not here, if the AI could not read enough about you.

How it works

Three steps, and you only do the first one.

  1. Send your website

    Your address, what you do and where. That is all I need. No log-ins, nothing to install, no access to your site.

  2. I ask the questions your customers ask

    Worded the way real people ask them, about your trade, in your area, and put to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.

  3. You get every answer

    Which questions named you, which named someone else, a score out of 100, and one plain paragraph on what it means. By email, from me.

21 of the 28 answers named the business, often first, and five repeated a fact from its website, such as a price. Perplexity is the weak spot, which is exactly the kind of thing you cannot see without asking.

Reading the results

Named and quoted #1
The assistant named you and repeated a fact from your own website. The best result, because it is using your words.
Named #1
The assistant named you. The number is your place in its answer, and most people ring the first.
Linked, not named
It linked to your website as a source but did not say your name. Close, and often an easy fix.
Absent
You did not come up. Somebody else did, and the report shows who.

Questions

Is the free check really free?

Yes. No card, and no trial that turns into a subscription. If it shows gaps, I will tell you what the Complete Report would cover for your site, and you can say no.

Which AI assistants do you check?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, each with live web search. Between them they answer most of the questions people type or speak into an assistant.

Do you need access to my website?

No. I only look at what anyone can see, the same way the assistants do. No log-ins, no passwords, nothing to install.

Why do the answers change from one day to the next?

AI assistants do not give the same answer every time. That is why the check asks every question of every assistant and shows you all of it, rather than one lucky or unlucky reply. Every result is dated.

I am not named. Is that bad?

It is common, and usually fixable. The reasons tend to be dull rather than dramatic: the site never says which area you cover, prices sit in a PDF, opening hours are in an image, the Google Business Profile has not been touched in years. The Complete Report finds which ones apply to you.

What does “Named and quoted” mean?

The assistant did not just say your name, it repeated a fact from your website: a price, your years in business, a number of clients. That is the best result, because it means your own pages give the assistants something clear to repeat.

What do you do with my details?

I use them to send your report and to follow up about it, nothing else. They are not sold or shared, and you can ask me to delete them at any time. The privacy notice has the detail.
