Results by business

Who AI is recommending now

Before people hire someone, they ask AI questions like “who's the best charter bus company for a school trip?” Each question AI answers by naming one of these businesses, or pointing to its page, is a buyer being sent their way. The big number is how many different buyer questions that now happens on. 9 customers, names removed.

Source: the Tracker's weekly checks, as of Sep 27. These are our strongest accounts, not a typical one. Across every business with a win, the middle one is named for about 6 questions, and some subscribers have none yet.

The strict count

Published, then recommended

Our customers track more than 410 of their pages with us. Most are pages they already had. 110 were written in the Tracker: 101 new pages and 9 rewrites of existing ones.

This chart is the strict count: the 27 pages that went live after the business started with us, where we know both the day the page went up and the day AI first named the business for the question it answers. None are rewrites, and all but 2 were written in the Tracker.

21 of 27

named within a week of going live

When AI first named the business, after the page went live

  • Day 14
  • Days 2 to 31
  • Days 4 to 716
  • Week 23
  • Weeks 3 to 43

Typical: 3.7 days. Orange bars are within a week of going live.

27 pages across 11 businesses. Counts only pages published after the business started tracking. Pages that were already up and got named later are left out, however long they had been live.

Testimonials

What other customers say

“I've also started getting clients who say AI recommended me. While I have done a lot of AI visibility work myself, I've definitely seen the uptick in referrals since I've added those blog pages.”

Registered Psychotherapist, Ontario

“The tracker caught the Gemini pickup before we'd have noticed it ourselves. This is a very useful tool, even for just the visibility alone.”

Mike, HomeHappy

“I love the tool it's so helpful! Making content has been a challenge but your tool makes it so easy to figure out what I should make next that people actually want to see. It's truly an amazing tool!”

Lea Dawn, Relationship Coach

Where the method came from

It started on one site of mine

The method behind the Tracker came out of BakingSubs, a solo site in about the most ordinary niche there is: what to use instead of an ingredient. No brand, no audience, no ad budget.
