VouchFAQ

Free AI scan for local businesses

When customers ask AI who to hire, are you named?

We ask ChatGPT-style and Perplexity-style AI the questions your customers ask, like "best roofer in Columbus". You see whether your business came up, who was named instead, and which websites were cited.

A free snapshot from about ten AI answers, not the full audit that comes with the Fix Sprint. Results change from run to run.

Free. No credit card. Takes under a minute.

Takes about 20 to 40 seconds. We keep your email and scan results to show you your report, and we may email you about Vouch. Opt out any time at [email protected]. See the privacy note.

How it works

  1. We ask like a customer. A handful of everyday questions, such as "best roofer in Columbus", sent to a ChatGPT-style engine and a Perplexity-style engine, with web search on.
  2. We read the answers. Which businesses are named, and which websites are cited.
  3. You see the gaps. If you were not named, you see who was named instead and which websites were cited. If you want help fixing it, the Fix Sprint is $497, one time.

Questions

Is this the same as what ChatGPT shows my customers?

Not exactly. We query AI models through their developer APIs with web search turned on. Those answers are close to, but not identical to, what the consumer apps show, and they are not personalized to the person asking.

Why can my result change if I run it again?

AI answers vary from run to run. In our own testing, the same question can name noticeably different businesses on a second try. Treat the score as a snapshot of this moment, not a permanent ranking.

Can anyone guarantee that AI will recommend my business?

No. Nobody outside the AI companies controls what these systems say, and anyone promising a guaranteed spot is not being straight with you. What can be done is to fix the things that make a business easier to find and trust: consistent listings, reviews, and clear pages for your service and city.

Does it check Google's AI answers too?

Not yet. This scan covers a ChatGPT-style engine and a Perplexity-style engine. Google's AI answers are a separate system we do not measure today.

What do you do with my email?

We use it to show you your results and may email you about Vouch. We never sell it. To opt out or have it deleted, write to [email protected].

Does it cost anything?

The scan is free. The Fix Sprint is optional and costs $497, one time.

What is in the Fix Sprint?

An audit (a manual review by Vouch), fixes to your business listings and profiles, and written website instructions for your web team. You also get a written summary of what we changed. It takes 5 business days after you send us your access and info. You get one round of revisions within 14 days, and a 50% refund if we cannot complete the listing fixes, because we will already have done real work to pull your data. We do not guarantee any ranking, placement, or leads.

Will you need access to my website?

No. We write instructions and your team makes the website edits. If you would rather we make them, it is $200 per change, through limited access that you grant. For listings and profiles, we use the access and info you send us after you buy.
