Key Points

The post asks whether businesses are being regularly surfaced by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Search, specifically through how models refer and summarize a company rather than traditional page rankings.
The author is testing whether structured data and metadata actually translate into accurate, recommendation-style outputs from LLM-driven search.
They question whether their business is even being “seen” by LLM search models in the first place.
They propose a practical test: use an AI model with web browsing to search for a local prompt and see which business is recommended, then drill into details about the top recommended business.
They request screenshots/results to identify what tactics lead to top recommendations and to adjust strategy if the business is not ranked first.

Curious how many of you are regularly checking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI search about your business?

Not talking about page rankings. I'm talking about how models are referring/summarizing your business and your online presence?

I've been spending a lot of time trying to test what works.

Of course structure data, meta data is important but is that translating into recommendations? Are the summaries accurate for your business?

Are you even being seen by LLM search?

Here is how you can help me.

Using your fav AI model with web_browsing please do a search for:

1: "I live in Chatham Kent Ont. [make up a business you are in] and I am looking for AI services or consulting in my area. Who do you recommend and why?"

2: Tell me more about {the top business being recommended} - hopefully it's us.

Please share your screen shot. If you're screen shot has the answer I'm looking for I will happily share all of the tips I used to land at the top.

If we are not the top recommendation, that lets me know we have more work to do and need to rethink our strat.

Appreciate your help and feedback.
