How do I make sure AI assistants can find and recommend my business?
Use the AI-visibility checklist on the Action Plan page. It checks whether your site and listing give answer engines what they need to recommend you — LocalBusiness schema, FAQ markup, neighborhood and landmark terms in your copy, and a 100% NAP match between your site and your Google listing — and flags what's missing.
Assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overview answer “best [service] in [city]” by pulling from structured, corroborated web data. If your site lacks schema, doesn't name the neighborhoods you serve, or your details don't match your Google listing, you're a riskier answer — so they name a competitor instead.
The checklist turns that into concrete items: add LocalBusiness (and FAQ) schema — the GBP Audit's one-click generator does this — name your service-area neighborhoods and landmarks in your page copy, and make your NAP identical everywhere (see citations and the audit).
This is the Core answer-engine-readiness checklist — making you findable and citable. (Tracking how often assistants actually name you, versus the competitors they mention instead, is a separate capability planned for the Pro plan.)
