Does AI search even matter for my business yet?

For most local businesses it’s still small today, but it’s growing, and the customers it does send tend to be ready to buy. The honest answer is that it depends on your trade and your city. Your free audit measures whether AI assistants already recommend businesses like yours, so you find out before you put money into it.

How do you actually measure whether AI recommends me?

We ask a fixed set of the questions your customers really type, like “who’s a good dentist near me”, and run each one enough times to be a real signal, not a one-off screenshot. Then we count how often an AI names your business versus a competitor, and we tell you exactly how many runs that count came from.

Can you guarantee I’ll show up in AI answers?

No, and no one honest can. AI assistants generate a fresh answer each time, and nobody controls what they say. What we can do is show you where you stand right now, which gaps are fixable, and what the numbers do and don’t prove, with the limits stated plainly. If a shift is too small to be real, we’ll tell you.

Which AI assistants do you check?

The ones your customers actually use: ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and other assistants like Perplexity. We focus on the assistants that answer “who should I call” questions for local businesses, since those are the ones that can send you a customer. If a new assistant starts driving real local traffic, we add it.

AI visibility

When someone asks an AI for a business like yours, are you in the answer?

ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, and Perplexity now answer “who should I call” directly, often before a customer ever opens a map. If you’re not named, that customer never learns you exist.

This is a worked example of the method, not a promise about your numbers. Your real report comes from your own runs, with its own error bars.

What “AI visibility” actually means

Across a fixed set of the questions your customers actually ask, run enough times to be a real signal, how often an AI names your business. Not a guess, not a one-off screenshot: a disclosed, repeatable count.

The honest part

AI referral traffic is still small today, an estimated 1% of visits for most local businesses, but it’s growing fast, and the customers it does send convert better than average search traffic.

The point of measuring it isn’t to chase a trend. It’s to find out, before you spend a dollar on it, whether AI recommendations already matter for your specific business, or whether your time is better spent elsewhere for now.
