This is an example report.Rivera & Sons Plumbing is not a real business.
The figures are invented, but everything below is generated by the same code that produces a real report — the confidence ranges are genuinely correct for the sample sizes shown. We built this because asking you to buy a document you've never seen is a lot to ask.
One section here will not appear on most reports. The “platforms do not agree on how to reach you” panel shows only when they actually disagree — on our own testing that was 25 of 59 businesses. If yours all agree you will see nothing there, and that is the good outcome rather than a missing feature.

Example data — generated August 15, 2026
From evidence to action
Your next steps
Start with these checks. Priority reflects access and factual accuracy first, then sampled visibility gaps; it is not a forecast of sales or ranking gains. The homepage checks do not establish what every page contains.
1. Confirm the contact details customers should see
Observed: Recorded answers contain multiple phone values. Confirm which are valid before treating a difference as an error. View evidence
Next step: Confirm the current details with the owner. Compare them with the homepage and the exact sources behind answers with different details. Correct inaccurate records you control; request corrections elsewhere.
How to verify the work
Save the source URL, corrected value and date. Reopen the edited page and compare the same contact questions in the next assessment.
2. Review the homepage findings before editing
Observed: JSON-LD not found in the retrieved homepage (check date not stored). This is a limited observation, not a diagnosis of why AI omitted the business. View evidence
Next step: Inspect the live page and any existing plugin-generated markup. Correct a confirmed omission or inaccurate field; retain accurate content and avoid duplicate structured data.
How to verify the work
Record the URL and before/after text. Check the rendered page and page source after publication; a successful edit and a change in AI answers are separate outcomes.
3. Review one relevant customer question
Observed: For “24 hour plumber near me Portland”, the business was named in 0 of 15 usable answers. This does not show that a page is missing or that this question has the most search demand. View evidence
Next step: Choose a question that matches a service you want to sell. Read its recorded answers, then find the existing page that best answers it. Improve that page only if a factual or explanatory gap is verified; create a page only when no suitable one exists.
How to verify the work
Save the question, page URL, verified gap and approved edit. Re-measure the same question later, keeping natural variation and other changes in view.

The platforms do not agree on how to reach you
The recorded answers make these differences visible. Verified business details provide the reference for resolving them.
3 different phone numbers appear across the platforms and your own homepage. Which is the one you want customers to use?
- ChatGPT(503) 555-0142
- Claude(503) 555-0178
- your website(503) 555-0113
If you have more than one location or phone line, several of these may all be correct — the check cannot tell that apart from a mistake without verified business context.
We are not saying the platforms are wrong. In our own study one business's website published a phone number whose area code does not exist, while the platforms gave a working local one — so the site was the mistaken source. The record identifies the difference; verified business facts establish which details are current.
＋ How to read this report — samples, ranges, and what got excluded
Three different questions, three different answers
One overall percentage averages two things that mean opposite things. Being found when someone types your name is a different problem from being found when they describe what they need, and they have different fixes. So we report them apart.

The same question can get you named on one platform and ignored on another, because each one retrieves from different sources. A platform you are absent from is a different problem from a platform you appear on occasionally.

Where they appear, and you don't
For every platform that named someone else on a question you lost: what that platform read to answer, and whether a page of yours — or theirs — was among it. Then the lists and listings, and the site itself. Three states per cell; a lookup we could not run says so rather than counting as an absence.
ChatGPT named these businesses instead of you on 21 of the questions you lost. Here's where they appear that you don't.

What we found on your site
In the retrieved homepage, 2 of 3 signals were not found. Check the current page before editing.
Structured data (schema.org): not found in this check
No JSON-LD structured data found on your homepage.
Structured data states what your business is, where it operates and what it sells in a form a machine reads directly, rather than leaving it to be inferred from prose. This check does not show whether changing it affects an AI answer. Inspect existing markup and confirm any missing facts before editing.
Location in page title: not found in this check
Your title: “Rivera & Sons Plumbing | Family Owned Since 1994”
Check whether the current title accurately states the real service and location. This observation does not explain why an AI answer omitted you.
Meta description: present
“Family owned plumbing company serving homeowners for over 30 years. Licensed, bonded and insured.”
Recorded against https://riveraandsonsplumbing.com: check date not stored. Homepage only; this stored observation may differ from the website today.
On llms.txt — we checked, and we are not scoring it. Your site doesn't have one, and we don't think that matters yet. Ahrefs found that of ~38,000 sites publishing one, 97% received no requests for it at all in a month; SE Ranking found that dropping it from a model predicting AI citations made that model more accurate. Both are SEO vendors rather than peer-reviewed work, and we are not aware of any platform that documents using these files. Other tools score this. We think that invents a defect, so we mention it and move on.
Questions to investigate
Grouped by question type, with the largest group in this sample first. These are investigation prompts, not confirmed website defects or a ranking of search demand. Check existing pages before creating content.
1. Category search
12 questions affected- “emergency plumber Portland OR” — cited 0 of 15
- “leak detection services Portland OR” — cited 0 of 15
- “same day plumber Portland Oregon” — cited 0 of 15
- “sewer line repair Portland Oregon” — cited 0 of 15
- …and 8 more
Review the main services page for accuracy and clarity. Add or clarify a service only after the owner confirms it. The sampled answer does not prove the site lacks that information.
2. High intent — ready to hire
5 questions affected- “best drain cleaning company Portland” — cited 0 of 15
- “best plumber in Portland Oregon” — cited 0 of 15
- “who should I hire for a burst pipe in Portland” — cited 0 of 15
- “who should I hire to replace a water heater Portland” — cited 0 of 15
- …and 1 more
Review the existing page for this service. Does it clearly answer the customer question and state where you work? Improve it if a verified gap exists; create a page only if no suitable one exists. Use only confirmed experience, certifications and project examples.
3. Pricing — informational
4 questions affected- “cost of sewer line replacement Portland” — cited 0 of 15
- “how much does a plumber cost in Portland” — cited 0 of 15
- “how much to fix a burst pipe Portland” — cited 0 of 15
- “average price for water heater install Portland” — cited 1 of 15
Check whether an existing page already explains prices or estimates. If it does not, ask the owner what can be published: confirmed prices, cost factors or how to request an estimate. Never invent a range.
4. Service + location
2 questions affected- “24 hour plumber near me Portland” — cited 0 of 15
- “residential plumbing repair near me Portland” — cited 1 of 15
Check the existing Residential plumbing and drain repair pages for Portland. Confirm the actual service area and relevant project examples before editing. Improve the most suitable page rather than creating overlapping location pages.
5. Budget-conscious
1 question affected- “affordable plumber Portland Oregon” — cited 0 of 15
Review existing information about what is included and how customers get a quote. Ask whether financing or payment plans actually exist before mentioning them. Improve an existing page if useful; do not invent affordability claims.
6. Educational — research stage
1 question affected- “how to choose a plumber in Portland” — cited 1 of 15
Find any existing guide for choosing a provider for Residential plumbing and drain repair. Compare it with this question and improve a specific unanswered point if needed. A weak measured answer does not prove you need another guide.
7. Reputation query
1 question affected- “plumber reviews Portland Oregon” — cited 2 of 15
Inspect the actual profiles referenced in the recorded answers. Confirm profile accuracy and review availability before recommending work. If requesting reviews, invite genuine customers consistently without filtering for positive feedback. A review count does not establish why an AI named a business.
8. Quality search
1 question affected- “top rated plumbers Portland OR” — cited 2 of 15
Check current pages for accurate credentials, project examples and permissioned customer evidence. Use only verifiable claims; a question about quality does not justify calling the business top rated.
Connect the findings with AI
These prompts connect the recorded findings with an AI-assisted investigation. They preserve business facts and identify details that need confirmation. Suggestions need review before publication; later assessments record whether the answers changed without attributing the change to a particular edit.
Questions about the evidence or a prompt? Reply to your report email. The free visibility guide also includes a worksheet and worked example.
Know which sources you can act on
Directory candidates to inspect: yelp.com, angi.com, bbb.org. Look for an existing profile and confirm eligibility before creating or claiming one. A missing mention in an answer does not prove your profile is absent.
Business and other reference sources: reddit.com. These are not verified listing destinations. Read them to understand the answer; do not treat competitor websites as places to list your business.
Source presence does not establish what caused an AI recommendation. Unknown source types remain unclassified.
Structured data (JSON-LD)
Check existing markup, preserve correct facts, and fix only a confirmed gap.
