The short answer

AiS LABZ audited the shop the way customers now search: by asking AI assistants. We then rebuilt its Google Business Profile field by field and shipped schema and llms.txt. On 20 September 2026 the shop was named in 4 of 4 Google AI Mode answers and named first by ChatGPT and Gemini.

Where things stood

the starting point
  • One Business Profile category and 26 services with no descriptions.
  • No profile posts for six months, 12 unanswered reviews, an empty Q&A.
  • Booking link pointed at the homepage, not the booking page.
  • 32 blog posts with no meta descriptions and none mentioning its neighbourhood.
  • A directory listed the wrong Sunday hours, and an AI assistant repeated it.

Common questions

Can you optimise for ChatGPT directly?

Not by trickery. AI assistants repeat what trustworthy sources say. We make those sources accurate: your site's schema, your Business Profile, and the directories they read.

Why audit with AI prompts?

Because that is how customers now shortlist a local service. If the assistant gets your hours wrong, you lose the visit before search even starts.

How do you measure AI visibility?

The same fixed prompt set, run monthly, recording whether the shop is named, where, and whether its own site is cited.
