Would AI recommend your business today?
You do not need an expensive software platform or a complicated technical audit to begin answering that question.
You can start this weekend with three simple exercises.
First, ask ChatGPT or another AI assistant a question one of your customers might ask. Do not include your company name. Ask something such as, “Who is the best Realtor in Woodbury?” or “Who is the best carpet cleaner in Minneapolis?”
Look at the businesses AI recommends, then ask:
Why is AI showing them and not me?
Second, visit your website and pretend you have never seen it before. Does it clearly explain who you are, what you do, and which locations you serve? A potential customer and an AI system should not have to guess.
Third, write down the five questions your customers ask most often. Those questions can become some of the most valuable content on your website because they reflect what real people want to know.
In this episode of The AI Search Briefing, Ralph Peterson explains how these three practical steps can help you discover what AI understands about your business and where improvements are needed.
You do not have to fix everything at once.
You simply need to start.

Episode Transcript
Here are three things you can do this weekend to help AI recommend your business.
Hi, I’m Ralph Peterson of 7Trillion SEO, and THIS is The AI Search Briefing.
We’ve covered a lot this week.
Meta tags, dimorphic websites. No, that has nothing to do with Transformers.
We covered AI advertising and why AI can’t trust what it can’t verify.
So, let’s wrap up the week with three simple things you can do this weekend.
Number one, ask ChatGPT or your favorite AI assistant about your business, but do not use your business name.
Ask the kind of questions your customers would ask.
For example, “Who’s the best Realtor in Woodbury?”
Or, “Who’s the best carpet cleaner in Minneapolis?”
See who AI recommends, and then ask yourself:
Why is AI showing them and not me?
Number two, visit your own website.
Pretend you’ve never seen it before.
Does it clearly explain who you are, what you do, and what locations you serve?
If not, go to your desk drawer, find a pen, pull out a notepad, and start making notes.
And number three, since you’ve already got your notepad out, write down the top five questions your customers ask you most often.
Those questions are some of the best content you could ever create.
Because if your customers are asking those questions, there’s a good chance AI is being asked those same questions every day.
Hey, you don’t have to fix everything this weekend.
Just start.
Just do something.
Get that pen and notepad out now, because every improvement helps AI better understand your business.
And the easier your business is to understand, the easier it is to recommend.
