When AI names the best in town,
are you mentioned?
Before they hire a plumber, call a dentist, or book a roofer, people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity who's best nearby, and each one names just a few. MentionedOn checks every day whether your business is the one they mention. And shows you how to become it. From $99/month.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do people really use AI to choose local businesses?+
Yes, asking ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for the best plumber, dentist, or restaurant near you is now an everyday habit, and it's growing fast. The assistant names just a few businesses, so being one of them is the whole game.
How is this different from my Google or Yelp reviews?+
Reviews are an input; the AI answer is the output. Assistants synthesize reviews, directories, and local sources into a short, confident shortlist, and you can have 4.9 stars and still never be named. We measure that answer and show you how to get into it.
Isn't this just SEO?+
It's the next layer, Generative Engine Optimization. Classic SEO ranks you on a page of links; this is about being the named recommendation inside an AI's answer. Different sources, different signals, and we check it every day across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, with Google's AI answers on your highest-intent questions.
How fast will I see results?+
Your free scan returns a real score and the competitors AI names in about 30 seconds. Improving your visibility takes a few weeks as the models and the sources they cite update, we track the movement so you can see it working.
What does it cost?+
The free scan needs no account. Paid monitoring starts at $99/month for one business: 100 tracked customer questions (top 25 checked daily, the full set across all four assistants every Monday), 8 publish-ready local articles a month, Ask MentionedOn data chat, and the action center. Cancel anytime.
