I'm building a tool to do very high quality AEO and SEO work, so your business shows up when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google.

I need a few more businesses to test it on.

Reply or DM me "Audit" and my company will do the first 10 for free.

Excited to test this out.

@selfstor1 Congrats on the rebrand. The part people miss: the old name lingers in Maps, directories and AI answers for months. Your X profile still shows the old name and domain. Want a free audit of the name change? Reply or DM Audit. The first 10 reviews are free.

@SMBAwningMan Honest answer: it repeats what your site and listings spell out. A page per awning type with real jobs, materials, and the architects and GCs you build for gives it something to name. Want a free audit of the site? Reply or DM Audit. The first 10 reviews are free.

@island_landlord Thumbtack sends one request to several pros, so you pay to race. Owned leads come from people searching for you: the Maps listing, reviews that name commercial cleaning, and a service area page. Want a free audit of the listing? Reply or DM Audit. The first 10 reviews are free.

ChatGPT counts an online mention only when the answer points to your website. The brand name alone doesn't count, so it can name you and still record nothing. A blank number isn't zero activity.

Treat the dashboard as a floor, not a scoreboard.

A family florist in Spain found ChatGPT drove about 1 in 5 online orders, all from new customers. Analytics nearly hid it: only 1 in 8 showed ChatGPT as the referrer. City delivery pages they already had did the work.

Reply Audit. First 10 audits free.

@BrandonStill77 @theseoguy_ A weekly AI pass is a good habit. It often misses whether the new site and the Google Business Profile agree, and whether the pages answer questions buyers actually ask. Want a free audit of the site and listing? Reply or DM Audit. The first 10 reviews are free.

@LoneStarSignsTX @thsottiaux Paid ads getting expensive for a local shop is common. That is when the unpaid paths matter more: the site, the Maps listing, and whether a search or chat names the sign company correctly. Want a free audit of the page? Reply or DM Audit. The first 10 reviews are free.

@randfish @Similarweb @sparktoro The decline in visits per user is striking, but it doesn't isolate AI's contribution. For businesses, I'd track referral visits alongside a separate sample of brand mentions in buying-related AI answers. One measures arrivals; the other measures visibility.

@Edwindav073 Thanks Edwin, you're in (slot 1 of 10). Just DM me your website or your email and I'll get your free audit to you within 24 hours.

@divvsaxena Thanks Divv. If you want one of the free audits, just DM me your website or your email and I'll get it to you within 24 hours.

@Marie_Haynes I'd test the same set of buying-related queries before and after, recording cited sources as well as the answers. A better conversation doesn't necessarily mean the same businesses stay visible. Are you seeing source changes yet?

[Benjamin @smokeduncan]

Gumlet asked new signups how they found it.

27% named ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude in April 2026, its agency reports.

Would AI recommend your business?

Reply Audit. I'll check your AI visibility. First 10 audits free.

A Maps listing can get a local business found on Google. It usually does not get you cited when someone asks ChatGPT for a plumber nearby.

Answer engines want a clear entity, matching facts on trusted sites, and the answer up top.

Reply Audit. I will review the first 10 free.

@Kevin_Indig The 2/3 figure is what most SEO reports miss. If AI introduces a new vendor in most buying talks, the risk is not losing a click. It is never being named. Fix the citation: consistent entity data, third-party corroboration, and answers in the first lines.

[Benjamin @smokeduncan]

@aleyda This is why first-screen real estate is now the Overview, not position 1. For commercial queries, the useful metric is whether you are a cited source in that expanding block, not only whether six blue links still exist below the fold.

[Benjamin @smokeduncan]

@glenngabe The France rollout is a clean before/after. Worth an extra GSC cut: branded vs unbranded, and whether you are cited in the Overview on queries where CTR fell. Cited with fewer clicks means the job is no longer ranking. It is becoming the source the model names.

[Benjamin @smokeduncan]

@faraujoj Exactly. 2.7B appearances with falling referrals means showing up in AI is not a win by itself. I would split named vs cited-as-source, and do it per engine. ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews often pick different winners for the same prompt.

[Benjamin @smokeduncan]

@hernancheyre @Corfo Buena señal la alianza UDD y Corfo. Un hueco que veo en hartas startups chilenas: optimizan Google, pero no aparecen cuando un comprador le pregunta a ChatGPT o Gemini qué proveedor usar. Eso ya es un problema de citación, no solo de ranking.
