Free: see if AI names your business → 1 engine, 3 questions, no email needed.

Why it matters

Your customers have started asking AI first.

AI answers usually name just a handful of businesses. If you’re not one of them, you don’t get the call — and you’d never know.

45%

of U.S. consumers used AI tools for local business recommendations in the past year — up from 6% the year before.

31%

used ChatGPT specifically for business recommendations in the last 12 months.

Source: BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey 2026 (survey of 1,002 U.S. adults, published Mar 10, 2026).

Real sample reports

Two Austin businesses. Very different answers.

These are real outputs from our pipeline, run Oct 29, 2026. Businesses are anonymized. Each sample asked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini the same 20 questions (60 answers per business).

Do you guarantee I’ll show up in ChatGPT?

No. We improve the public signals AI tools often use. We do not guarantee that ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini will recommend your business.

How does ordering work?

Pick an offer and pay securely via Stripe checkout. Within a few hours we email you to collect your business details (intake). Your report arrives within 48 hours of payment and complete details. Questions before you buy? Use the form below.

Are the sample reports real?

Yes — real pipeline output from Oct 29, 2026, with the businesses anonymized. Each sample asked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini the same 20 questions, the same as a paid report.

What does the Visibility Score mean?

It’s an average across all question × engine cells: points for being mentioned, for your rank among named businesses, and for having your site or listing cited. The formula is printed in every report.

Is this SEO?

Related, but focused on whether AI assistants name you for buyer questions. Classic SEO still helps; this report shows the AI-answer snapshot.

Who is the Fix Sprint for?

Owners who want the report plus done-for-you Google Business Profile optimization and review-request setup — without buying the full Complete Fix.

Can agencies white-label?

Yes. The $249 pack includes five reports with our branding removed and space for your logo.

How fast is delivery?

Reports: within 48 hours after payment and complete details. Fix Sprint / Complete Fix: typically 7–10 business days after you grant the required access.

What’s the refund policy?

Reports: a firm 14-day, no-questions-asked refund from purchase (Agency 5-Pack: per the credit rules). Services: full refund before work starts; if work has already been delivered, refunds may be prorated or limited, and final wording will be shown at Stripe checkout. See the Refund Policy.

Policies

Refund Policy

Business: AskAI Local · Contact: via our contact form · Checkout: Stripe Checkout / Payment Links (all products) · Currency: USD

Reports ($79 single): firm 14-day, no-questions-asked refund from purchase, even after delivery. Agency 5-Pack ($249): no credits used → full refund within 14 days of purchase; some credits used → $49.80 per unused credit. To request a refund, use the contact form (choose “Refund request”) with your checkout email and Stripe receipt number. We’ll confirm within 2 business days. Refunds return to the original payment method (often 5–10 business days).

AskAI Local is the seller; Stripe only processes payments. We issue refunds in Stripe to the original payment method, and any sales tax charged on the refunded amount is refunded with it. After a refund, delete downloaded copies. We may decline repeat abuse patterns. This does not limit mandatory consumer rights where you live.

Services (Fix Sprint, add-ons, Complete Fix, retainer): full refund before we start any work. If work has already been delivered, refunds may be prorated or limited to the unused portions. The final wording will be shown at Stripe checkout.

Retainer ($199/month): renews monthly until you cancel. Cancel anytime via the contact form before your next billing date to avoid the next charge, and we confirm by email. Retainer service continues until the end of the period you’ve paid for. No partial-month refunds, except a full refund of a month in which we didn’t deliver that month’s re-check report. If a renewal charges by mistake right after you asked to cancel, we refund it.
