Powerful Capabilities

Built for Local & Multi-Location Businesses

Everything you need to know whether local customers - and the AI engines answering them - can actually find you.

Near-Me AI Citation Tracking

Ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity the exact "near me" and "best [service] in [city]" questions your customers type, and see whether your brand gets mentioned, cited, and which competitors show up instead.

Google AI Overview & AI Mode for Local Queries

Check whether your business is surfaced in Google's AI Overview and AI Mode answers for local search terms, tested separately on desktop and mobile since near-me searches skew heavily mobile.

Local SEO Optimizer

Enter your business name, address, phone, and category to get a NAP-consistency check, an AI-generated citation directory checklist, and a starter set of location-based keywords.

Local Signal Detection in Every Audit

Our SEO/AEO/GEO audit scans pages for the local signals AI engines and Google look for - address, phone number, and near-me style language - and flags the pages missing them.

Near-Me Keyword & Content Strategy

Our content strategy engine automatically classifies "near me" and location-based queries as decision-stage searches and recommends dedicated landing pages to capture them.

Multi-Market Local Coverage

Run local search checks across 100+ countries, languages, and devices, so multi-location and multi-city businesses can track each market on its own terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

No - we don't connect directly to your Google Business Profile listing. Instead we focus on the layer above it: whether ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's own AI Overview and AI Mode actually mention and cite your business when someone asks a near-me or local-intent question. Keep your Google Business Profile updated for the map pack, and use AI Rank Lab to see how you show up in AI answers.
