What is AI visibility for local business?
AI visibility is whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot and voice assistants mention and recommend your business when local customers ask for what you do - "best dentist near me", "emergency plumber in [city]", "which gym takes day passes".
It doesn't show up in your analytics: customers who never reached your site because the AI never named you are invisible in every dashboard. The only honest way to measure AI visibility is to ask the engines your customers' real questions on a schedule and record the answers.
That's how we measure it - 20 local prompts checked weekly with our own monitoring tool, reported with screenshots. The AI visibility program for local businesses builds the visibility and proves it monthly.
