1. It searches
ChatGPT search finds sites through OpenAI’s crawler, OAI-SearchBot, which OpenAI asks site owners to allow. Google’s AI answers only use pages that are indexed and eligible to show in Search.
Eloari builds websites for small US local businesses so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Google Search can understand what you do, where you do it, and recommend you. No one can promise an AI will name you. We build the site so it can, and we show you where you stand.

One page: who AI recommends instead of you, and the first three things we would change. We reply within two business days.
01 — What changed
In BrightLocal’s survey of 1,002 US adults published in February 2026, 45% said they had used AI tools such as ChatGPT to find a local business, up from 6% the year before. AI is now the third most common source of local recommendations, after Google and Facebook.
That matters because the answer often ends the search. When Pew Research Center tracked 900 US adults’ Google searches in March 2025, people clicked a regular result in 8% of visits when an AI summary appeared, against 15% when it did not. If the AI answer names three plumbers and you are not one of them, many people never scroll down to find you.
| What | Number | Source |
|---|---|---|
| US consumers who used AI to find a local business | 45% (6% a year earlier) | BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey, Feb 2026 |
| ChatGPT weekly active users, worldwide | 900 million | OpenAI, reported by TechCrunch, Feb 27, 2026 |
| Google AI Mode monthly active users | More than 1 billion | Alphabet Q2 2026 earnings, Jul 22, 2026 |
| US Google searches that showed an AI summary | 18% | Pew Research Center, March 2025 data, published Jul 2025 |
| Restaurants that never appeared in ChatGPT, vs. Google | 83% vs. 14% | Local Falcon, Feb 2026 data (vendor study, restaurants only) |
02 — How AI chooses
For a local question, AI assistants look the answer up on the web, read the pages they find and name the businesses those pages describe most clearly. Your own website is the biggest single source: in BrightLocal’s December 2024 test of 800 local searches in ChatGPT, business websites made up 58% of the sources shown, mentions on other sites 27% and directories 15%.
ChatGPT search finds sites through OpenAI’s crawler, OAI-SearchBot, which OpenAI asks site owners to allow. Google’s AI answers only use pages that are indexed and eligible to show in Search.
It looks for a page that plainly says what you do, in which city, for whom and how to reach you. A single homepage that lists ten services in one paragraph is hard to quote.
It compares what your site says with your Google Business Profile, your reviews and other sites. Google ranks local results on relevance, distance and prominence, and says complete, accurate profiles show up more.
Google is explicit that there is no secret trick: its guide to AI features says you do not need special files or special schema to appear in AI Overviews, and that your structured data should match the visible text on the page. So the work is plain and specific. Say the right things, on the right pages, in a way machines can read, and keep them consistent everywhere.
A few terms, in one line each.
The AI-written answer Google shows at the top of some search results, with links to the pages it used.
Hidden labels in your page’s code that tell machines your business name, address, hours, services and answers to common questions.
The schema type that describes a local business: what it is, where it is and when it is open.
Your free listing on Google Maps and Search, with hours, photos and reviews.
Eloari’s one-page check of which businesses AI tools name for your service and area, and whether you are one of them.
03 — What we deliver
One finished website, built around the questions your customers actually ask, and kept accurate after launch.
We build a new site or rebuild the one you have. The report tells you which makes more sense.
One page for each service and for each city you serve, so an AI can quote the exact page that answers “who does X in Y?”
LocalBusiness and FAQ schema that matches what the page says, plus an llms.txt summary of your business.
We tune your profile so the categories, services, hours and links match the site.
Pages that load fast and read well on a phone.
Every three months: where ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google name you, and where they name someone else.
04 — How it works
| Step | Order | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| The free report | 01 | Tell us your business, your website and your service area. We send a one-page AI visibility report: who AI recommends today, and the first three things we would change. |
| The build | 02 | If you go ahead, we build or rebuild the site with service and city pages, schema, llms.txt, a tuned Google Business Profile, and speed and mobile fixes. |
| Care and reports | 03 | We host, secure and update the site, make small changes when you need them, and send the “where AI recommends you” report every three months. |
05 — The offer
Founding client pricing, open only to our first 20 clients: $1,000 to build the site, then $50 a month for hosting, security, small changes and the quarterly AI report.
| Plan | Price | What is included |
|---|---|---|
| Build | $1,000 one time | New or rebuilt site; a page for each service and each city; LocalBusiness and FAQ schema; llms.txt; Google Business Profile tune-up; speed and mobile. |
| Care | $50/mo | Hosting, security and small changes; the “where AI recommends you” report every three months. |
What we will not do: promise that an AI will recommend you, or quote numbers we cannot back. You get a site built so AI and Google can understand and recommend you, and a report that shows where you appear.

07 — Questions
No, and nobody honestly can. AI assistants decide on their own, and their answers change from one week to the next. What we control is the part they read: a site that states clearly what you do, where, and for whom, plus a report every three months that shows where you actually appear.
For a local question it usually runs a live web search, reads the pages it finds and names the businesses those pages describe best. In BrightLocal's December 2024 study of 800 local searches in ChatGPT, business websites were 58% of the sources it showed. Reviews, directories and mentions on other sites back that up.
One page. It shows who ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google name when a customer asks for what you sell in your area, whether your business shows up, and the first three things we would change on your site. It is yours to keep whether or not you hire us.
Either. The $1,000 build covers a new site or a rebuild of your current one. The report tells you which makes more sense before you spend anything.
Hosting, security updates, small changes such as new hours, prices or photos, and the “where AI recommends you” report every three months.
llms.txt is a short text file that summarizes your business for AI tools. It is a public proposal from 2024, not an official standard, and Google says it does not need one for AI Overviews. We add it because it costs nothing to keep accurate, but the pages, the schema and your Google Business Profile do the real work.
This is a one-time build with a small care plan, not an open-ended monthly retainer: $1,000 once to build the site, then $50 a month to keep it hosted, secure and up to date.
It is the launch price of this offer: $1,000 for the build and $50 a month for care. It is open only to our first 20 clients.
