45% of consumers now ask AI assistants for local business recommendations — up from 6% a year ago. The first answer is the new first page of Google. The First Answer Report is a mystery shopper for AI: we ask the questions your customers ask, and show you exactly what comes back.
Get your report — $99 one-time"Asked ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity to recommend marketing consultants in my area. My competitors showed up. I didn't."
Not a dashboard. Not a subscription. One sharp, honest document about your business — the same scope agencies sell as a "$500 automated scan".
Real buyer questions — "best X near me", "is [your business] any good?" — asked to AI assistants, quoted word for word with the date.
The competitors AI is sending your customers to, tallied across every question — your share of voice, in one table.
Wrong hours, missing services, confusion with another firm, "I have no information on them" — every error, caught and listed.
The reviews, directories and mentions AI builds its picture from, so you know exactly where to earn a better one.
Whether AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 13 more) can even load your site, plus structured-data gaps — with paste-ready fixes.
A top-10 fix list ordered by impact, in plain English you can hand straight to whoever runs your website.
Pay once, enter your web address (and a competitor, if you want a head-to-head). That's everything we need.
We ask the questions your customers ask, record what comes back, audit the evidence AI reads about you, and test your site the way AI crawlers see it.
One document: what AI says, who it recommends instead, what it gets wrong, and exactly what to do about it.
Each report lists exactly which engines were queried and on what date — always including Claude (Anthropic) and live AI-search evidence of what assistants with web access find, with further engines included as available. We never quote an engine we didn't actually run — that's the difference between this and the snake-oil end of this market.
Especially then. Most of what AI says about you comes from reviews, directories and mentions — not just your site. Small businesses usually get the biggest surprises (and the quickest wins) in the report.
No, and nothing honestly can — AI answers aren't a fixed leaderboard. What we do is show you what's actually being said, why, and the ranked actions most likely to change it. Then a quarterly re-check can measure movement.
Free tools check whether robots can crawl your site or give you one abstract score. We include that layer too — but the heart of this report is what free tools don't do: verbatim answers to real buyer questions, the competitors recommended instead of you, the factual errors AI makes about you, and a ranked fix list.
