No tools, no jargon \u2014 just ten minutes and a bit of honesty. Five checks to find out whether AI search knows your firm exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need a consultant or a dashboard to find out whether AI tools know your firm exists. You need ten minutes and a bit of honesty about what you find. This is a self-check any owner or director can run today \u2014 no jargon, no tools to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grab a coffee and work through these five checks. Keep score as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check 1 \u2014 Ask the AI to recommend a firm like yours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open ChatGPT (and, if you can, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overview). Ask the kind of question a prospective client would ask: “Who are the best [your service] firms for [your type of client] in [your city\/region]?”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then read the answer honestly. Are you named? Are your competitors? If the AI lists three firms and you’re not one of them, that’s not a failure \u2014 it’s your starting line, and it’s exactly the gap worth closing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Score it<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Named and described accurately = 2 points. Mentioned in passing = 1. Not there at all = 0.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Check 2 \u2014 Ask the AI directly about your firm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now ask: “What can you tell me about [your firm’s name]?”<\/em> Watch for two failure modes. First, the AI knows nothing \u2014 a blank, generic answer. Second, and worse, it confidently states something wrong<\/strong>: an outdated service, the wrong location, a confusion with another business. Either way, that’s the impression a buyer may be getting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check 3 \u2014 Read your own homepage like a machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open your homepage and ask one question: in the first screen, is it obvious what you do, who you do it for, and where<\/em>? Not implied through a clever tagline \u2014 stated plainly. If a stranger (or a model) had to summarize your firm from that page in one sentence, could they get it right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your value is buried under vague language like “we deliver solutions,” a machine will struggle exactly where a busy human does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check 4 \u2014 Hunt for inconsistencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Search your firm’s name and look at how you appear across Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, and any directories. You’re looking for mismatches: a different business name, an old address, services described one way here and another way there. Every inconsistency chips away at the confidence an AI needs to recommend you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Conflicting information doesn’t just confuse customers \u2014 it makes a machine quietly decide you’re a risk it would rather not name.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Check 5 \u2014 Look for answers, not just brochures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scan your site for content that directly answers real client questions \u2014 pricing, process, “how do I choose,” “what’s the difference between X and Y.” If every page is a brochure about how great you are, there’s little for an AI to quote. The firms that get cited are the ones that actually answer things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
