What local marketing agencies should look for
Explain a client's AI visibility using evidence they can review.
Evaluate evidence export, coverage transparency and consistent measurement across clients.
A workflow to evaluate
Agree a prompt set and market, capture a baseline, review factual changes with the client and compare subsequent dated samples.
Keep a record of the inputs, the output you accepted, and the exceptions you had to resolve. Use that evidence to decide whether the workflow fits the job.
Options to consider
MentionedOn
Current productLocal businesses and agencies that want dated evidence of whether assistants name them, which businesses appear instead, and a prioritized set of facts, profiles and content to review.

Before you choose
- Define a successful result for this workflow: Evaluate evidence export, coverage transparency and consistent measurement across clients.
- Try representative inputs you are authorized to use, including an exception. Review the result against the original source.
- Verify current access, supported outputs, privacy and retention terms, total usage cost, and your next-step requirements.
- Keep human review where errors would affect a customer, a record, or an important decision. Repeat the comparison if the workload changes.
