For local businesses & multi-location brands

How visible are you when customers ask AI for a recommendation?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews already answer “who’s the best near me?” thousands of times a day. They answer from whatever is already indexed — and if your data is thin or stale, they skip you. See whether you show up, what’s holding you back, and what to fix first.

58%

of adults now see AI-generated answers in everyday Google searches.

97%

of consumers read reviews before choosing a local business.

more visits to businesses with complete, consistent info across the web.

The gap

Ranking on Google is not the same as being recommended by AI.

Answer engines don’t read your rankings or your follower count. They read whatever they can retrieve and verify about you — and then decide, per question, whether you’re worth naming.

01

AI answers from stale data

Your hours changed last spring. Google Business, Yelp, Apple Maps and a dozen scraped directories all show different versions. A model picks whichever it can most easily verify — usually not yours.

02

Thin data gets skipped

If a model can confirm three facts about you and eight about a competitor, it recommends the competitor. Confidence is the metric that matters, not star ratings.

03

You can't see the demand you lost

There's no dashboard for 'customers ChatGPT sent somewhere else this week.' So we built the measurement layer for it.

The score

Four measurements, one repeatable grade.

Ask ChatGPT how you’re doing and you get a friendly one-shot opinion that changes every time you ask. Local LiftUp runs the same test the same way, every time, so the number means something when you re-run it in 90 days.

Sample grade

62Overall · grade D
42% of high-intent searches answered without you

Recommendation

Will AI name you at all when someone asks for the best in your category and area?

Prominence

When you are named, are you #1 — or buried at #5 where nobody clicks?

Informational

Do you show up on intent and occasion questions — emergency, near me, weekend, budget, best for families?

Content depth

Does your own site give a crawler something citable: services, pricing, hours, service area, structured data?

Methodology

Nothing is simulated. Every number traces back to a captured answer.

If a model doesn’t respond during your scan, we exclude it from the score and say so on the report instead of filling in a number.

  1. 01

    Confirm

    We match your business and category against live place data so we test the right entity, in the right city.

  2. 02

    Ask

    We put the same set of real customer questions to frontier models and a live-web engine that answers with citations.

  3. 03

    Record

    We log which businesses each model names and in what order — verbatim, so nothing is paraphrased or invented.

  4. 04

    Verify

    We fetch every source the models cited and check it resolves, and whether it mentions you at all.

  5. 05

    Crawl

    We read up to ten pages of your own site for the machine-readable signals engines need to describe you.

  6. 06

    Score

    We keep AI Discovery Visibility and Website GEO Readiness separate, so you can see whether the gap is recommendations, your site, or both.

The deliverable

The free check tells you what AI thinks of you. The audit tells you what to do about it.

Two documents, one scan. The Snapshot is a one-page diagnosis: score, grade, score by model, three findings, five example questions with hit or miss, and your top competitor. The GEO Visibility Audit is the full evidence file.

  • Every question tested, with each model's verbatim answer
  • The citation sources AI reads for your category — fetched and verified
  • Full competitor teardown: who is named ahead of you, and why
  • Entity and NAP consistency gaps across the platforms models trust
  • Technical GEO analysis of your site with a page-by-page fix list
  • Revenue-weighted priorities — what to fix first, ranked by money at stake
  • A sequenced 90-day roadmap with owners and done-when criteria
  • A re-scan baseline so progress is measured, not asserted
