Local and multi-location

When someone asks an AI for the best option near them, be the answer.

Track how AI assistants answer location-specific questions about your category, see which nearby competitors they name instead, and get the specific reasons you were left out.

best CBSE school in Tellapur, Hyderabad

Here are some well-regarded CBSE schools in the Tellapur area:

  1. 1Oakridge International School
  2. 2Chirec International School
  3. 3Sancta Maria International

Your school: not mentioned

The assistant answered from three directory pages and a local news round-up. Your site was not among the sources it read, and no page on it lists Tellapur as an area you serve.

Same question, five engines

Named by 2 of 5. One blended score would report a number that is true of no engine here, which is why each engine is kept separate.

Best fit for

  • Businesses that serve named areas, suburbs or cities
  • Schools, clinics, salons, trades, hospitality, local services
  • Anyone whose customers ask "best X near me" or "X in <area>"

What you get

Answers for the areas you actually serve

Your service areas are part of your profile, so prompts are generated per area rather than one national question. A result for one suburb is not assumed to hold for the next one.

See the competitor an AI named instead of you

Every answer is stored with the brands it mentioned and the position each took, so you can see exactly who is being recommended in your area and how often.

The reason you were left out, not just the score

Exclusion analysis records why the assistant did not include you for a given question — missing information, a page it could not read, or a source it trusted more.

Two areas carry the account and two are invisible. A single city-level score would average them into a middling number and hide which street to work on.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your areas

    List the suburbs, cities or regions you serve. Prompts are built per area, not one blended national query.

  2. 2

    Prompts run across five engines

    ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini are tracked separately, because they disagree.

  3. 3

    Read the actual answer

    Open any run and see the response the assistant gave, with the sources it cited.

  4. 4

    Work the fixes

    Findings become a prioritised list with the evidence attached, so you can see why each one matters.

What this does not do

  • Coverage is limited to the five engines listed. Local map packs and traditional local-pack rankings are a different surface and are not tracked here.
  • Results reflect the prompts you configure. A question nobody asked is not measured.
  • Assistants personalise by user context. Results are a repeated sample, not a guarantee of what any one person sees.

Questions

Do I need to be a national brand for this to work?
No. Prompts are generated for the areas you serve, so a single-location business is measured on the questions its own customers would ask rather than against national competitors.
Can I track more than one location?
Yes. Each area you serve is tracked separately, so you can see where you are strong and where a nearby competitor is being recommended instead.
