AI Discoverability for Service Businesses

When AI recommends a business like yours, is it recommending you?

Your customers are already asking ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude who to hire. We test whether your business shows up in those answers — and show you exactly what to change.

I Googled my own business and it didn't come up in the AI answer.

ChatGPT recommended three of my competitors. My name wasn't mentioned.

A new patient told me they asked AI for a recommendation and found someone else.

I have great reviews but AI still doesn't seem to know I exist.

My website ranks well on Google but AI answers ignore me completely.

I don't even know if AI is sending customers to my competitors.

Someone asked Perplexity for the best HVAC company in our city. We weren't in the answer.

I have no idea how AI decides who to recommend. It feels like a black box.

AI is already your referral network. Most businesses don't know it yet.

When someone asks AI who to hire for roofing, legal help, or a med spa treatment, the AI doesn't search Google — it synthesizes everything it knows about your business from across the web. If that picture is incomplete or unclear, you don't show up.

AI synthesizes signals from across the web:

Website content & structure
Third-party citations & mentions
Entity clarity & business identity
Review signals & reputation
Expert authority content
How clearly you describe what you do and who you serve

AI doesn't rank websites. It recommends businesses it understands.

Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine crawlers. AI discoverability is different — AI platforms synthesize signals from your website, third-party mentions, reviews, entity data, and authority content to decide whether your business is worth recommending.

Most businesses have no idea how AI perceives them. They assume good reviews and a decent website are enough. They're not. AI needs a clear, consistent, corroborated picture of who you are, what you do, and who you serve.

We built Highly Recommendable to close that gap — starting with a full audit of how AI sees your business today.

Included in Every Audit

Get Your Highly Recommendable Score™

AI visibility is not one thing. Highly Recommendable evaluates the signals that help AI systems understand, trust, mention and recommend your business, then turns those findings into a clear score you can track over time.

Highly Recommendable Score™

Sample scorecard — not real client data

A diagnostic benchmark measuring how clearly and credibly your business is represented across AI search, your website and the wider digital ecosystem.

The Highly Recommendable Score™ is an independent scoring framework created by Highly Recommendable — not an official score from ChatGPT, Google, Gemini, Perplexity or any third-party AI platform.
