Choose an AI visibility tool that shows its evidence.
For a local business, the useful question is specific: does an assistant recommend your service in your area, and what does its answer say? MentionedOn helps you inspect those answers, investigate gaps and follow a defined question set over time.
No signup for the free scan. Ongoing monitoring is a separate paid plan. This guide is published by MentionedOn, a vendor in this category.
Five things to compare before you subscribe
- A local question
- Compare the service and city a customer would actually ask about. A national brand prompt answers a different question.
- An inspectable answer
- Read the captured answer and source links before acting on a score. A citation is a lead to check, not independent verification.
- Honest coverage
- Separate completed, failed and skipped checks. A missing result is not evidence that your business was absent.
- Repeatable checks
- Keep the prompt set and location consistent. Record dates and configuration changes so two reports can be compared fairly.
- A useful next step
- Choose a specific issue to investigate: inaccurate business details, an unsupported service claim, a missing source, or a question your site does not answer.
Read a report before you run your own
Our citation-source report publishes the recorded dataset window, source counts and methodology. Our state of AI search report examines observations across the stored corpus. These are first-party product observations, not a customer-results study or a representative sample of every AI user.
- Check the date range and which questions and assistants were included.
- Read the answer or source evidence behind the aggregate. Check whether the source supports the business fact.
- Choose one factual correction or content gap to investigate, then compare like-for-like observations later.
An improvement in a later answer is an observation, not proof that one edit caused it. Read our measurement methodology for limitations.
Which approach fits your work?
One business, a defined question set
Use MentionedOn to inspect a free scan, then decide whether saved monitoring, answer evidence and exports fit your recurring work. Compare the actual plans and limits.
Location-grid analysis
Local Falcon also offers local AI visibility scans and campaigns using a geographic grid. If coverage across many points on a map is central to your decision, compare that workflow directly. Read its product documentation. Feature reference checked September 16, 2026; no claim of equivalent coverage or independent quality testing.
Client or destination reporting
Agencies need a clear client reporting workflow. Chambers and destination teams need an agreed member and question sample. See agency monitoring or AI visibility for DMOs and chambers.
Common buying questions
What should a local AI visibility tool show?
The question asked, the location supplied, the assistant checked, the collection date, and the answer behind the score. Ask which checks failed or were skipped, and whether the cited source actually supports the statement.
Does a free scan include ongoing monitoring?
No. MentionedOn's free scan is a bounded snapshot with no signup. Paid monitoring follows a configured business and question set over time. Review current plan coverage and limits before choosing a subscription.
Can a tool guarantee that ChatGPT or Gemini recommends me?
No. Answers vary with the question, location, model and time. Monitoring shows observations; it does not control an assistant or establish that a particular edit caused a recommendation.
How much does MentionedOn cost?
The Local plan is $99 per month for 1 business. Growth is $399 per month for up to 5 businesses. Start with the free scan and check the pricing page for current billing options and coverage.
