More and more buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity who to hire, not just Google, and the assistant names a few businesses.
If you're not one of them, you don't get a chance. AI names the businesses it finds on sites it already trusts.

No. Answersky shows you where you stand and what to fix. AI assistants decide which businesses they name, so we cannot promise mentions or a higher score.
Close, but not identical. We use the models behind the apps, via their APIs with web search, with no location, login or chat history, so the apps can answer differently.
Because asking the same wording again mostly returns the same lookup. So we ask each question in 3 different wordings, once each, the way different buyers would ask it. How we measure
We don't sell them as fixes, because studies have found no clear effect: an Ahrefs test of pages that added schema (May 11, 2026) and an Ahrefs study of llms.txt files (June 15, 2026). What does seem to matter: being mentioned on sites AI already cites, and clear pages that answer questions first.
We use your website to prepare your scan and your email to send it, plus up to 2 follow-up emails about it. You can unsubscribe any time. See Privacy.
