Be the business AI recommends in your town
When customers ask ChatGPT, Claude or Google for the best plumber, dentist or taco place near them, each AI picks a handful of local names from different places. We make sure you're listed, correct and worth recommending in all of them. $299 a month, everything by email.
Example questions
- “best plumber in Austin”
- “dentist near me open Saturday”
- “best tacos in San Diego”
The problem
AI names a handful of local businesses. The rest don't exist.
Customers don't scroll a map anymore. They ask, and they call whoever AI names first.
ChatGPT
Who's the best plumber in Austin?
Here are three well-reviewed options:
- 1Lone Oak Plumbing: fast call-outs, strong reviews
- 2Bluebonnet Pipe Co.: upfront pricing, family run
- 3Eastside Drain & Repair: open late, covers the whole city
Sources: Bing Places, Yelp, 2 directories
Your business isn't mentioned.
Where each AI looks
Each AI looks somewhere different
Claude
Searches the open web through Brave
Looks at
- Your website
- Directories
- Review sites
- Local press
A clear website and listings that agree with it do the work.
Google AI Mode
Reads Google's own data
Looks at
- Google Business Profile
- Google reviews
The one most small businesses already look after.
Most small businesses only look after Google. That leaves two of the three biggest AI assistants guessing.
What's included
Your site and profile first. Then your listings.
AI checks your website and profile when it decides whether to recommend you. So Month 1 fixes those, and listings start in Month 2, pointing at a site and profile that answer the question.
Month 1: your site and profile
No listings yet. This month fixes what you own.
- Baseline local AI report10 local questions checked on ChatGPT, Claude, Google AI Mode, showing who each one recommends and which sources it cites.
- Listings auditWhere you're listed today across the places each AI reads, with every gap and mismatch. No submissions this month; this is the plan for Month 2.
- 3 website fixes, written to pasteA clear answer block on your main service or location page, an answer for your top local question, and LocalBusiness schema. This is what Bing and Brave crawl, so it's what ChatGPT and Claude read.
- Google Business Profile copy, written to pasteDescription, categories, services and Q&A. It's your own profile, so it belongs in Month 1.
- Review planWhich review sites matter for your trade, and email and text templates to ask real customers.
Delivered within 10 working days of your onboarding form.
Months 2 and 3: your listings
Month 2: 15 listings built or fixed, the ones each AI reads first. Name, address and phone made identical everywhere.

Why not just publish more articles?
Content autopilots sell volume: a stack of AI articles auto-published to your site every month. That doesn't move local answers. When someone asks AI for the best electrician in town, each AI checks local listings, reviews and whether your details match everywhere. Cited Local works on those signals, by email, with nothing auto-published to your site.

We never buy, write or incentivize reviews. Fake reviews are banned under the FTC's rule on consumer reviews and testimonials.
Isn't Google Business Profile enough?
It's what Google's AI reads. ChatGPT and Claude look elsewhere, at listings like Bing Places, Foursquare and Yelp, and at the open web. We cover all three.
Why don't listings start in month 1?
Because AI checks your website and profile when it decides whether to recommend you. Month 1 makes sure they answer the question; from Month 2 we point every listing at them.
Do I need to give you my Google login or website login?
No. We write everything for you to paste. For listings we only need your business details.
How long until AI recommends us?
Listings start in Month 2, take 1 to 6 weeks to go live, and each AI updates on its own schedule, so judge it at Month 4. Your monthly report shows what moved.
Can you get us more reviews?
We tell you which review sites matter for your trade and give you templates to ask real customers. We never buy, write or incentivize reviews.
What's a listing or citation?
Your business name, address and phone number on another site, like Yelp, Bing Places or Yellowpages.
Do you publish articles to my site?
No. Local AI answers rely more on your listings, reviews and a clear website than on blog volume.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time. You keep everything we've written and every listing we've built.
Which countries do you cover?
The US, the UK, Slovakia and Poland, each with its own listings and directories.
AI answers vary by date, location and model. How each assistant finds businesses changes over time. Nothing here is a guarantee of rankings or recommendations.
