AI recommendation discovery

A new discovery channel

Who does AI recommend instead of your business?

When customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude for a business in your city, which names come back?

We asked 180 times across four sectors and three AI providers. The answers were often not what local owners expected — and we show you the evidence for your market.

Real finding from controlled research

  • Baker Botts
  • Vinson & Elkins
  • Jackson Walker
  • McGinnis Lochridge

Query: “Recommend a law firm in Austin.” ChatGPT named the firms above. A local firm in that market did not appear.

One of 180 controlled observations. Your results will vary by market, sector, and question.

Illustrative finding — not a prediction, not causation, and not a claim that AI always does this.

Why AI recommendations matter

Google shows you where you rank.

AI can decide whose name gets mentioned.

A customer does not always search ten blue links anymore. They can ask: "Who are the best insurance agencies in Dallas?" or "Can you recommend a law firm in Austin?" The answer may contain specific business names. The question is simple: Is yours one of them?

Who AI recommends

Which businesses get named.

Whether you appear

Under local and locally owned intent.

Who appears instead

Competitors, nationals, directories.

AI is becoming a new discovery layer

As customers increasingly use AI to research businesses, products and services, the website may no longer be the destination. An AI system may discover, compare and recommend businesses before a customer ever visits them.

Your diagnostic

We show you what ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude currently recommend when asked about your market — including who appears, who doesn’t, and which businesses occupy the recommendation space instead.

What you get

  • Competitive displacement map — who AI recommended in your market
  • Platform breakdown — how ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude differ
  • The underlying evidence — queries and responses we captured
  • A founder walkthrough — what it means, not just what we found
  • Prioritized next steps — up to three experiments, not generic SEO advice

How it works

  1. 1. Submit your business

    Short intake — business, metro, sector, and how to reach you.

  2. 2. Pay $250 via Stripe

    Upfront payment. Full refund within 7 days if you’re not satisfied.

  3. 3. Get evidence + walkthrough

    We run controlled queries for your sector and metro, then deliver the report and a founder walkthrough.

$250 Diagnostic + Action Brief

More than asking ChatGPT once: controlled evidence, who appears instead of you, opportunity map, ≤3 experiments, founder walkthrough. Sample first — then pay if you want the full run.

No AI score. No black-box grade. No promises that we can manipulate AI recommendations. Just the evidence — and a short prioritized action list framed as experiments, not guarantees.

After you decide you want the Diagnostic + Action Brief: pay $250 via Stripe, we confirm identity, then the founder authorizes the controlled run. Payment does not auto-start the queries. Refund: hi@bidigest.com within 7 days of delivery.

Questions

Do I pay first?
Not as the first step. We start with a sample and a conversation. When you want the full Diagnostic + Action Brief, you pay $250 via Stripe before we run controlled queries. If the findings are not useful, request a full refund within 7 days.
Can’t I just ask ChatGPT myself?
You can ask once. We run controlled wording across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, map who occupies the recommendation space, and deliver an opportunity map plus ≤3 experiments and a founder walkthrough — not a single chat reply.
Is this an SEO audit?
No. SEO examines how your website performs in search. This examines which businesses AI systems recommend when someone asks for options in your market.
Do you use my business name in the questions?
No. The core questions use your sector and market rather than naming your business. This reduces the risk of biasing the AI response.
Can you guarantee I will be recommended?
No. We do not manipulate AI responses. We show what we observe — and who occupies the recommendation space instead.
Which AI platforms do you test?
ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude. We report differences rather than combining them into a single score.
What if I’m not satisfied?
