AI recommendation visibility
How AI decides what to recommend
When you ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini what to buy, where to go, or which service fits you, you get a recommendation instead of a page of Google links. This site is where we write down how those answers get built, for people who ask and for people who run a shop, a place, or a service.

What we are trying to find out
- 01 How does ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini decide what to recommend?
- 02 Is that answer actually for you, or was it built for someone else?
- 03 Does the context you give actually change what gets recommended?
- 04 Why can a wrong price, shop, or set of hours still sound sure?
- 05 Why do two tools, or a free plan and a paid plan, recommend different things for the same question?
- 06 If you run a shop, a place, or a service, why were you skipped, or described with the wrong facts?
- 07 When is a bad answer just wrong — and when is it actually dangerous?
