How AI discovery works
Search-enabled assistants can find and cite accessible web pages when answering a relevant question. Google says its established SEO practices also apply to AI search. OpenAI identifies OAI-SearchBot as its search crawler, separately from its training crawler. Each service chooses which sources to show; publishing a listing creates a useful source, while inclusion and recommendations remain the service's decision.
1. Claim your local business profile
Search the directory for your business, open its profile and choose the claim option. Complete the verification steps. After approval, use your dashboard to manage your listing. Submit a missing business through Add a Business for review.
Follow the claim instructions2. Make your business identity consistent
Use your real business name, current phone number, accurate address and official website. Match these facts across your directory listing, your website and the business profiles you manage. Describe a service area only where you actually work.
Update your listing3. Answer the questions customers actually ask
Explain your main services, who they serve, how to request a quote or appointment, and any practical preparation. Add specific facts you can support. On your own website, keep important service information in readable text and link to the pages that explain it.
Write a useful business summary4. Keep timely information current
Review contact details and your website when your business changes. Confirm seasonal hours and current offers on the channels you manage. Include real terms and expiration dates with promotions, and use original photos that accurately represent your business.
Publish a local offer5. Build evidence through real customer experiences
Invite customers to share an honest review of their experience. Use accurate project examples on your own website with permission, and link to relevant local associations or credentials when they apply. Reviews submitted to this directory appear after moderation.
Learn about directory reviews6. Measure discovery and customer actions
For your own website, use Search Console to review queries and landing pages, and your analytics to review visits from search and AI services. Record calls, inquiries and bookings separately. An AI citation, a website visit and a new customer are different outcomes.
