Visibility AI
AI search visibility: does AI recommend you? Now you’ll know.
Your customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI who to choose. MGMT Core tracks whether you’re named, shows who’s named instead and why, and gets you onto the websites AI trusts.
How AI picks who to name
Three things decide it.
1. It reads the web, not your ads: lists, directories, review sites and your own pages.
2. It names who it trusts: complete profiles, consistent details, recent reviews.
3. It repeats itself: once a competitor is named, they keep getting named.
- Your customers’ questions
- AI answers, daily
- Named or not, who instead, which sources
- Specialist works the sources
What we track
- Whether AI names you for 10 real customer questions per location, checked every day
- Across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity
- Which competitors are named instead of you
- Which websites AI read before it answered
- How your Google Search and Maps presence supports, or undermines, those answers
- Your trend, month by month
The AI Visibility Score
One number per location: how often AI names you, how you compare with the businesses it names instead, and which way you’re trending. Reported monthly with the work we did and the next step.
What your specialist does about it: source coverage
- Profiles we can claim (Yelp, Healthgrades, industry directories, the chamber): completed properly, with photos, services and categories
- Lists and articles AI cites: pitched, up to 3 per location per month
- Your own site: the facts AI needs, stated plainly
- Reviews and listings aligned, because AI trusts consistent businesses
What we never do
No fake reviews, no astroturfed forum posts, no promises. Nobody controls what ChatGPT says. We track it and work on everything it uses to decide.
Example findings
AI answer gap
Competitors appear for a key service while you don’t, despite stronger reviews. Cause: a missing profile on the list AI cites.
Map decline
A location’s Maps prominence falls after conflicting hours across directories.
Trust signal
Listings accurate, but no reviews in 90 days; AI prefers the busier competitor.
Category gap
AI is answering questions about a service you offer but don’t list.
Six AI engines, every day
Customers don't use one assistant. We check the ones they actually use to find local businesses.
ChatGPT
The assistant most people try first for "who should I call" questions, often with web results and sources listed in the answer.
AI Overviews
The AI summary at the top of Google search results. It often appears before the map and the regular results.
AI Mode
Google's conversational search, where people ask follow-up questions and compare options in one thread.
Gemini
Google's assistant on Android phones and in Google apps, drawing on Maps and the wider web.
Copilot
Built into Windows, Edge and Bing, and used heavily on work computers.
Perplexity
An answer engine that lists its sources, which makes it a useful view of which websites AI relies on.
Ten real customer questions per location
We agree the questions with you on your setup call, written the way your customers ask them. A few examples:
"Best family dentist in Lincoln Park"
"Which dentist near me takes walk-in emergencies?" "Who does Invisalign in Lincoln Park?"
"Emergency plumber in Nashville open now"
"Who is the most reliable HVAC company in East Nashville?" "Best-reviewed roofer near me"
"Personal injury lawyer in Seattle"
"Which law firm in Seattle handles car accident claims?" "Best divorce lawyer near me with good reviews"
Example questions only. Your questions are chosen for your services, locations and customers.
One number, explained every month
Your AI Visibility Score shows how often each location is named across your ten questions and six engines. It's the number to watch over time, not a grade for one day.
- Named or not, per question and per engine
- Which competitors were named instead
- Which websites and pages the answers relied on
- What changed since last month, and why we think it changed
Getting onto the sites AI trusts
The answers show which websites AI relies on for your area and industry: directories, "best of" lists, local news, associations and forums. Where you're missing, your specialist works to fix it.
That means claiming and completing profiles, correcting wrong details and pitching the editors of relevant lists, up to three sources a month per location. Every action goes in your report, so you can see what was done and what moved.
No one can guarantee an AI assistant will recommend a business. We commit to the tracking and the work.
A map of where AI finds you, and where it doesn't
AI visibility mapping means charting, for each location, which customer questions name you, on which AI engines, who is named instead, and which websites those answers come from. It turns "AI doesn't mention us" into a list of places to fix.
Where you're named
Ten real customer questions per location, checked on six AI engines, so you can see the gaps question by question.
Who is named instead
The businesses AI recommends when it skips you, and how often, so you know who you're up against in AI answers.
What the AI read
The directories, lists, reviews and articles behind each answer, starting with the ones that come up most for your area and industry.
Visibility AI works with your listings and reviews
Consistent listings
Matching details across directories give AI confidence that you exist, where you are and when you're open. Listings AI handles this.
Active reviews
Recent reviews with replies show AI a busy, responsive business. Reviews AI handles this.
Trusted sources
Mentions on the sites AI cites put you into the answer. Source outreach handles this.
Daily tracking
The same questions, checked every day, show whether the work is moving the answers.
AI visibility questions
What is AI search visibility?
It's how often AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name your business when customers ask for a recommendation in your area.
How is this different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank your pages in a list of links. AI visibility is about being named inside the answer. They overlap, but AI leans heavily on third-party sources such as directories, reviews and lists. Read AI visibility vs SEO for more.
How quickly will we be named more often?
Listing and review fixes can show up within weeks. Source outreach usually takes longer because it depends on other websites. Your daily tracking shows progress as it happens.
Can I choose the questions you track?
Yes. We suggest questions based on your services and customers, and you approve the final ten for each location.
Do you guarantee AI will recommend us?
No. No one controls what AI assistants say. We track it daily and do the work that influences it.
How can I see where we stand today?
Request an AI visibility audit. We check one real customer question for one location and send who was named, who was named instead and which sources were trusted.
