How to get your business mentioned by AI
AI assistants name businesses the web already describes clearly and consistently. These six fixes are the ones that matter most, and each one lines up with something a Prisqo report shows you.

1. Say plainly what you are and where
Your homepage title, first heading and first paragraph should say what you do and where, in the words customers use: “dentist in Austin, TX”, not a slogan. An assistant that lands on your site should not have to guess. The sample report makes this its first suggestion for Smith Family Dental, because it is the cheapest fix there is.
2. Complete your Google Business Profile
Claim your profile, choose the right category, and fill in every field: services, hours, service area, photos. Maps listings are among the sources AI answers pull from for local businesses. Keep it current; outdated hours are a quick way to lose trust with both people and assistants.
3. Get reviews on the sites your trade is judged on
Every trade has a short list of review sites that answers lean on: Healthgrades and Zocdoc for dentists, Avvo and Justia for lawyers, Angi and HomeAdvisor for plumbers, G2 and Capterra for software. Ask happy customers for honest reviews there and on Google. The “Sites the AI cites” section of a Prisqo report shows which review sites came up for your questions.
4. Match your details across directories
Use the same business name, address, phone and hours everywhere you are listed. When listings disagree, an assistant has a harder time knowing they are all you. Fix the old listings rather than adding new ones on top.
5. Publish an FAQ page that answers real questions
Write one page that answers what customers actually ask: prices, hours, service area, insurance or payment, and who you are best for. Use the questions as headings and keep each answer short, so it can be quoted. The sample report lists this as a next step too.
6. Earn mentions on other people’s sites
Answers often cite forums, local news and “best of” lists. You cannot buy a genuine mention, but you can earn one: do work worth talking about, help a local writer with a story, sponsor a neighborhood event. In a Prisqo report, “Who AI recommends instead” shows which competitors are getting named, so you can look at where they are mentioned and you are not.
Check, fix one thing, check again
Do not try to fix everything at once. Find your biggest gap, fix it, then check again. A Prisqo report shows whether you were named in 6 buyer-style questions, who was named instead, and the sites cited, for $19 once.
FAQ
What decides which businesses AI names?
What the assistant finds when it searches: your own site, your listings, your reviews, and mentions on other sites. The clearer and more consistent those are, the easier you are to name.
Which fix should I do first?
Start with what is cheapest and most visible: say plainly what you are and where on your homepage, and complete your Google Business Profile. Then work on reviews on the sites your trade is judged on.
How do I know if the fixes worked?
Ask the same buyer-style questions again a few weeks later, or run another Prisqo report, and compare whether you are named and which sites are cited.
