Get Found Where Customers Are Asking AI.
Is AI Recommending Your Competitors Instead of You?
More customers are asking ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI tools who they should hire. If your business is missing from those answers, those customers may never find you.
We check where you appear, who AI recommends instead, and what may be keeping your business from getting mentioned.
What is AI visibility for a local business?
AI visibility is whether AI assistants mention and recommend your business when customers ask who to hire. When someone asks ChatGPT for the best roofer in town or asks Google AI which plumber to call, the businesses named in that answer win the customer — and everyone else is invisible.
Local AI Fix is an AI visibility and answer engine optimization (AEO) service for local businesses. We measure how AI platforms see your business today, explain what is holding you back, and give you a practical plan to fix it — starting with a free AI Visibility Check.
The Problem
Why doesn't my business appear in ChatGPT or AI answers?
Ranking well in traditional Google search does not automatically mean your business will be recommended in AI-generated answers.
AI systems evaluate signals across websites, directories, reviews, citations, business profiles, authority, consistency, and other sources — and they weigh those signals differently than a search engine does. If those signals are weak, inconsistent, or missing, AI assistants will name someone else.

Frequently asked questions about AI visibility
Answers current as of September 2026.
What is AI visibility for a local business?
AI visibility is whether AI assistants — like ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, and Perplexity — mention and recommend your business when customers ask who to hire. A business with good AI visibility gets named in those answers; one without it is invisible to a growing share of customers.
Why doesn't my business appear in ChatGPT or AI answers?
AI systems evaluate signals across websites, directories, reviews, citations, business profiles, authority, and consistency — and they weigh them differently than a search engine. A business can rank well in traditional Google search and still be left out of AI-generated answers if those signals are weak, inconsistent, or missing.
How is answer engine optimization (AEO) different from SEO?
SEO focuses on ranking pages in traditional search results. AEO focuses on getting a business named inside AI-generated answers. They overlap, but AI visibility is broader: a company can rank well in traditional search and still not be mentioned by AI assistants.
Can anyone guarantee an AI recommendation?
No. No legitimate company can guarantee that a specific AI platform will recommend a business. We improve the information, authority, consistency, and signals AI systems can use when evaluating businesses — we do not control their output.
Which AI platforms do you check?
ChatGPT, Google AI experiences, Gemini, Perplexity, and other major AI discovery platforms as appropriate.
What does an AI visibility check include?
We test whether AI recommends your business for important local searches, identify which competitors are recommended instead, review whether your business information is consistent across the web, examine website signals, reviews, citations, directories, and authority signals, and list practical opportunities to improve how AI understands and describes your business.
How much does the visibility check cost?
The initial AI Visibility Check is free.
Who is this for?
Local businesses that depend on customers finding and choosing them online — roofers, plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, dentists, med spas, attorneys, restaurants, auto shops, contractors, and similar businesses.
