The public database of AI recommendations for local businesses.
Every week we ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini what they recommend across 364+ city × industry markets — and publish exactly who they cite. Free to read.
Check AI visibility — free, no signup▾
Paste any URL or business name. We score it on the 4 signals AI engines actually use: schema.org, robots.txt allowlist, sitemap, /llms.txt. ~12 seconds. Different from the AI Reports above — that probes live AI engines for whole markets; this audits one site at a time.
Your website was built for humans. AI assistants need it written a completely different way.

}Traditional websites are too bloated for AI to read. AI doesn’t need pretty layouts or marketing copy — it needs structured data: facts tagged so machines can extract them. The vast majority of small-business websites provide none.

30 seconds. We attach your business to its entry and publish a clean, schema-perfect page AI engines can read when they research your market — one extra signal in the mix, not a guarantee. Real visibility takes more than one page (see Step 3).
- Step 3 · Pro $49/moTrack + improve, weekly
Every Monday: rank deltas, who climbed, who dropped, and AI-generated improvement suggestions based on what AI engines say about competitors that beat you.

None of these are unique protocols — they’re standards. The unique part is that we wire them up specifically for the AI-crawler audience.
- IndexNow live-pushBing knows about your edit within 60 seconds
The moment you claim or edit your mini-page, we push the URL to Bing’s IndexNow endpoint. Bing’s index powers ChatGPT search — faster indexing means faster citation eligibility.
- Real-time lastmodOur sitemap tells the truth
Every mini-page entry in /sitemap.xml carries the actual
lastmodfrom the database, not the build timestamp. Crawlers schedule revisits based on this — we make sure it’s accurate.
- What does findloc.ai actually do?
We are the public database of AI recommendations for local businesses. Every week we probe 4 AI engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini — with real customer search queries across dozens of city × industry markets, and publish exactly which businesses they recommend. See live data at findloc.ai/visibility. Free to read. Pro $49/mo adds personalised tracking + weekly trend emails for your own business.
- Are you a "where should I open my next shop" tool?
No. findloc.ai used to lean on OpenStreetMap data for location research, and that map still lives at /map for casual browsing. But the product today is about AI visibility — making your existing business get cited by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini when customers ask them for recommendations.
- What is the difference between the AI visibility check and the AI Reports?
The visibility check (on this page) audits ONE website you paste in — it tells you whether your own site has the schema.org, robots.txt, sitemap and /llms.txt signals AI engines look for. The AI Visibility Dashboard (at /visibility) flips the lens: for a given city + industry, we ask 4 AI engines the real customer-search questions a customer would type, and publish which specific businesses got recommended. Use the check to fix your own site; use the dashboard to see who is winning your market.
- How accurate are the AI Reports — are those real AI answers?
Yes. Every number on a report page is computed from a real API call. We hit each AI engine with 15 hand-curated queries per (city, industry), capture the verbatim answers, extract the business names, and tally cross-engine citations. The full raw answer for every query is on the page — click any query in the per-query breakdown to read what ChatGPT actually said. Data refreshes weekly via cron.
- Do you sell my data?
No. Everything we publish is public-by-design: your mini-page IS the product, the AI Reports are public-by-design (it is who AI is already recommending, just made visible). We do not sell business data, contact lists, or audit results to anyone.
See your market before your competitors do.
