AI recommendation discovery

A new discovery channel

Who does AI recommend instead of your business?

We don’t give you a black-box score. We show you, under controlled conditions, who AI recommends, who appears instead of you, how recommendations change by customer intent and AI provider, and what the evidence suggests you should investigate next.

We’ve tracked thousands of businesses and tens of thousands of recommendation observations across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude — including recent controlled research across four sectors. Our measurements show that AI recommendation patterns can differ substantially by provider, market, and customer intent — and we show you the evidence for your market.

Sample observation from controlled research

  • State Farm
  • Farmers
  • Allstate
  • Liberty Mutual

In one controlled observation, ChatGPT returned names including State Farm, Farmers, Allstate, and Liberty Mutual. The observed local business did not appear among the recommendation results.

One controlled observation from a larger measurement history. Your results will vary by market, sector, and question.

Example from controlled research — not a prediction, not a claim that AI always does this, and not evidence of causation.

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.

AI Recommendation Diagnostic & Action Brief — $250 Founder Diagnostic + Action Brief

A controlled investigation into how AI recommendation systems represent businesses and competitors in customer-intent queries for your market.

What the $250 Diagnostic includes

  • Controlled multi-provider observations across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude
  • Recommendation / displacement map — who AI names and who appears instead of you
  • Intent analysis — how recommendations change with different customer-intent questions
  • Opportunity map — entity, content, authority, reputation, and evidence gaps
  • Up to 3 prioritized investigation experiments — hypothesis, evidence, what to test, and how we would re-measure (implementation not included)
  • Founder walkthrough of the evidence and what to do next

What makes this different from asking AI yourself?

A casual AI search gives you an answer at one point in time from one chat session.

The Diagnostic + Action Brief uses controlled questions across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, compares recommendation patterns, identifies displacement and intent differences, and turns the evidence into specific things to investigate next.

Evidence first. Interpretation second. No black-box score. Findings are for visibility investigation only. They are not legal advice and do not guarantee that AI systems will recommend your business.

Does not prove

  • That AI “caused” lost customers
  • A universal AI Visibility Score
  • That changing your website will guarantee recommendations

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 investigation 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.
