I run a local business
Clinics, studios, firms, trades. Customers ask AI for “the best X near me” and someone gets named.
How it works for local businesses
I have a SaaS or app
Buyers ask “best X for Y”, “X vs Z”, “X alternatives”. AI answers from G2, Reddit, docs, and comparison posts.

AI Visibility Report
Smile Studio Austin
Showing up in AI wasn't supposed to be another job.
Search took years to learn. AI answers are a black box on top of that. If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone:
You can't see what AI says about you
Customers ask, get an answer, and never visit a results page. You have no idea what they were told.
You don't know who it recommends instead
Somebody is getting named for your questions. You don't know who, or which sites feed that answer.
The advice is generic
“Do SEO.” “Get reviews.” Nobody tells you the three specific facts AI is missing about you, or writes the page.
What do you know about ABC Dental Clinic?
ABC Dental Clinic is a dental practice in Dallas. It offers general dentistry and does not appear to offer Invisalign. Hours and pricing are not listed. Reviews mention friendly staff.
3 things AI gets wrong
- Wrong city. You're in Austin, not Dallas.
- Invisalign missing. Your site never says the word.
- No pricing or hours anywhere AI can read.
The first thing every scan shows you. Often wrong, always fixable.
Run a free AI visibility scan
No account. In about a minute we'll show you what ChatGPT says, who it recommends instead, and the fastest fixes.

It's free. Most people leave with something to fix in the first five minutes.
What you leave with after the first scan
Getting into AI answers takes weeks. Your first session shouldn't. Six things you'll have before you close the tab.
The mirror moment
Each assistant's answer to “what do you know about us?”, verbatim. Every wrong fact becomes a task.

12 assetsHow to choose an invoicing app as a freelancer (2026)
LLedgerly team · 8 min read · Updated Sep 2026
Most freelancers pick an invoicing app for the wrong reason: the free plan. Here's what to compare instead, with Ledgerly, Wave and FreshBooks side by side…

Best invoicing app for freelancers under $20?
u/ledgerly_teamWorks at Ledgerly· 1h
Honest answer: Wave is free if you only need invoices. If you want time tracking and Stripe sync in one place, ours is $19 with a free plan up to 5 clients. Happy to answer questions either way.

The directory
A listing on the pages AI actually reads.
Most of the sources assistants cite are third-party pages you do not control. The TangentFlow directory is one you can be on today: rankings measured from real answers, listings claimed by their owners, and proof that crawlers came.
Get listed where assistants actually read
A human-reviewed listing with schema.org data, an llms.txt entry and a link to your site, on pages built to be cited. Claimed from your report in one click, free.
See who wins your market, measured not voted
Every market gets a “best of” page ranked by how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude recommended each name, with the reasons they gave and the sources they read.
Receipts, not promises
Your listing shows every visit from GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and the rest, and the moments an assistant pulled it into a live answer.
A launch day, every week
New listings sit on the launch page for seven days with share links ready. Featured and sponsor slots are marked, and never change the rankings.
Also readable by agents over MCP, and indexed in a plain-text llms.txt.
A clear four-step path into AI answers.

Guides to getting recommended by AI
Detailed, sourced, and written from what we see in real scans. No fluff, no guaranteed-ranking nonsense.
Why ChatGPT cites your competitor and not you: seven causes, with the fix for each
When ChatGPT names a rival for a question you should win, the reason is usually one of seven things. How to tell which one it is from the answer itself, and what to change.
Read the guide →
How to track ChatGPT citations for your brand (manual, then weekly)
Citations change from week to week and from question to question. A tracking method you can run in a spreadsheet, the four numbers worth recording, how to read a trend, and when to hand it to a tool.
Read the guide →
How ChatGPT chooses which sources to cite (and how to become one)
ChatGPT with search on reads a handful of pages per question and links the ones it used. Here is what happens between your question and those links, which pages tend to make the cut, and the changes that get a site cited.
Read the guide →Questions people ask us
Is the scan really free?+
Yes, one full ChatGPT scan per visitor, no account needed. You keep the report and can save it to an account for weekly re-checks. Starter at $19 a month keeps ChatGPT checked weekly; Pro at $49 adds Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, custom questions and Autopilot.
Which AI assistants do you check?+
The free scan and the Starter plan ask ChatGPT. Pro and Agency check ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude on 20 questions every week. Each one answers a little differently and trusts different sources, so results are shown per assistant with a combined score.
Can you guarantee an AI will recommend my business?+
No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. OpenAI, Google and Perplexity all say placement in their answers depends on many factors and isn't guaranteed. What we do is show you exactly which sources AI relies on for your customers' questions, what those sources say that you don't, and give you the content to close the gap. Then we measure whether it worked.
How do you actually test the questions?+
We run each question through every assistant the same way a customer would, then parse each answer for business mentions, cited links, and the order they appear in. Nothing in the score is estimated or simulated.
Does this work for a SaaS or app, not just a local business?+
Yes. The questions change (“best X for Y”, “X vs Z”, “X alternatives”) and so do the sources AI trusts (G2, Product Hunt, docs, Reddit, comparison articles), but the loop is identical. The scan detects which kind of business you are from your site.
What kinds of content do you draft?+
Long-form guides with sources, comparison and alternatives pages, FAQ pages with schema, directory and marketplace listings, and short-form posts and replies for Reddit, X, LinkedIn and Quora. Everything is drafted from your scan and handed to you to edit and publish. We never post on your behalf, and community replies are written to disclose who you are.
Is this just SEO with a new name?+
It overlaps, but the levers are different. AI answers lean heavily on third-party sources and on whether your facts are stated plainly somewhere a crawler can read. Most of our tasks are about making you easy for a machine to understand and verify, not about keywords.
How many businesses can I track?+
Starter and Pro track one business each. Agency tracks up to eight with white-label reports and PDF exports. Every weekly check asks the assistants 20 questions per business, which is why plans are sized per business. Need more than eight? Email us.
How long until I see results?+
Technical fixes like unblocking crawlers can show within days. Content and listings usually take two to four weeks to appear in answers. Every paid plan re-scans weekly and tells you the moment a question flips.
Do I need to give you access to my website?+
No. We read your public site the way AI crawlers do. Everything we generate is handed to you to publish yourself, or to send to whoever manages your site.
