Local Businesses monitors how AI platforms recommend local businesses. Voice assistants and chatbots handle millions of local queries daily — from “best restaurant near me” to “plumber open now”. Track your local visibility and identify listing gaps.
What Local Businesses Tracks
Whenever an AI model recommends a local business in a response — example:
“For the best coffee in Paris, try Café de Flore on Boulevard Saint-Germain…”
Qwairy automatically extracts:
- The business name
- Address and location information
- Category (restaurant, plumber, hotel, etc.)
- Rating and reviews (when provided by the AI)
- The AI provider (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.)
- The prompts that triggered this recommendation
This gives you a full view of which local businesses AI platforms recommend in your industry.
Purpose of Local Businesses
Local Businesses helps you answer:
1. Does AI recommend my business for local queries?
See if your business appears when users ask AI assistants for local recommendations.
2. Which competitors dominate local AI recommendations?
Track which local competitors AI platforms favor and how often they appear.
3. What queries trigger local recommendations?
Understand the prompts and scenarios where AI suggests local businesses.
4. Where are my listing gaps?
Find queries where competitors appear but you don’t — opportunities to improve your local presence.
