Getting recommended
When someone asks ChatGPT, your name should come up.
People looking for a good garage or practice nearby now ask ChatGPT as well. The answer names a few businesses and draws on websites, Google profiles and reviews. We make sure yours give the AI what it needs, and every month we measure whether your name comes up.
From the Google profile
Opening status, type of business, stars, number of reviews and address. If the profile still lists old opening hours, the recommendation says “closed” while you are open.

01 The recommendation has moved
People used to ask friends. Today many ask an AI.
It is the same question people used to ask over the garden fence. Today it also goes to ChatGPT, and the answer sounds like advice from a friend, with a few names and a sentence on each.
How many people ask this way
- 900M
- people use ChatGPT every week, according to OpenAI.
- OpenAI, February 2026 · worldwide

The two groups are almost level. The AI reads the same places where customers already check you out, and it needs your website as much as your profile.
How visible are you on
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity?
Enter your address. We check whether the systems behind ChatGPT and Google may read your site at all, whether they understand what you offer, and whether your content is built so an AI answer can quote it. You get findings, not a score without reasons.
No sign-up, no contact details – just your URL. Privacy
02 What we do about it
The answer is built from your own details. That is where we start.
An AI recommends what it can read about you. Four things make sure there is enough to read and that it is correct.

Details an AI can pass on
An AI passes on whole sentences that carry information. It can do nothing with “Your partner for every job”. A sentence like “Emergency call-outs across the Unna district until 10 pm on weekdays, no extra charge within 15 kilometres” is one it can use (example).
What this means for you
Your website then sets out your services, prices or price ranges, opening hours and service area in full sentences. It also lists the questions customers ask on the phone, with your answers.
In the entry: the description How we build the website
-
The same details everywhere
Your address, phone number and opening hours appear on your website, in your Google profile and in directories. In the real answer above, the status, rating and address came from the Google profile. If a detail there is out of date, the AI passes it on all the same.
What this means for you
Name, address, phone number, opening hours and services then match on your website, in your Google profile and in the main directories. We do the cross-checking.
In the entry: status, type of business, address
-
Reviews that tell a story
Stars and the number of reviews appear in the answer right after the name. The more precisely a review describes what you helped with, the more the AI learns about your business as well.
What this means for you
After a job that went well, you ask for a review in writing, with a direct link and a specific question such as “Could you write a few words about what we helped you with?”. We set up the link.
In the entry: stars and number of reviews

The door open for the AI
ChatGPT and other services read websites with their own automated programs. A setting at your hosting provider can shut these programs out without anyone noticing. Since 15 September 2026, anyone who blocks AI training at the network service Cloudflare also shuts out Google’s program. Your site is then missing from the sources.
Source: Cloudflare blog, 1 July 2026
What this means for you
The first thing we check is whether ChatGPT, Google and the other services are allowed to read your site. If access is blocked, we open it.

On the call we also work out what it would cost for your business.

The same 6 questions to ChatGPT and to Perplexity
Questions from patients · Praxis A from the answer above · Berlin-Hellersdorf, Germany, 29 September 2026
- ChatGPT
- Perplexity
In Halle, ChatGPT named the practice for one more question on the second day. For 9 of 10 questions, the sources under the answer had changed. In Berlin, only one of the two systems named the practice for 3 of 6 questions. That is why we ask every question several times and of several systems. The report shows the value in the middle (the median).

What owners ask us before they start.
-
01 What does it mean to be recommended by ChatGPT?
If someone asks ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity which practice, garage or law firm in their town is good, they get a few names with a sentence on each. Being recommended means your business is among those names. For that, the AI has to find enough about you, and what it finds has to be correct. That is what we take care of. -
02 Do you guarantee the AI will name us?
Nobody can guarantee a particular mention, because no provider controls from the outside whom a system names in the end. What can be influenced is what the AI finds about you and can pass on. That is what we work on, and we measure it every month. If nothing moves within eight weeks of going live, we keep working without the monthly fee until it does. -
03 Does this bring customers or applicants?
Both. The same foundation answers a customer asking for a good business and a skilled worker asking for a good employer. With paid advertising, that would be two campaigns with two budgets. How it works for applicants is described on our page about finding staff. -
04 How do I see whether it works?
You get a report every month, written without jargon. It shows the answers to the same thirty to fifty questions from your trade and your region, plus your position on Google and on the map. You see where you came up, where you did not and who was named in your place. Every figure comes from several queries, because a single query tells you little in this field. -
05 How long does it take?
The foundation is in place within the first three weeks. First mentions usually come after four to eight weeks, once the first content is online. If you need results sooner, paid advertising will serve you better. We tell you that on the strategy call as well. -
06 Does it work in my trade?
The approach is the same in every local trade, whether practices, garages, law firms, tradespeople or estate agents. What differs are the questions your customers ask and the content you answer them with. So far, the measurements on this page come from healthcare. What that means for your trade, we work out on the strategy call.
Three businesses rank ahead of you. None of them does better work.
Anyone searching in your town sees a handful of names. If yours is not among them, the job is gone before you hear about it. On the call we tell you why.
What happens on the call
- Beforehand we check where you stand on Google and on the map, who gets named in your town instead, and what someone searching actually finds answered on your site.
- On the call we go through it together – on your site, not on slides. You see which enquiries are passing you by today, and why.
- At the end you have what needs doing, in what order, and what it costs. If it does not add up for you, we say so – that happens.
