AI search summarizes information from multiple sources and gives a single answer. Instead of tracking keyword rankings, you\u2019re tracking whether your brand is mentioned and which sources influenced that answer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Why doesn\u2019t my business show up in ChatGPT or Perplexity?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>In most cases, it\u2019s not because of an \u201cAI issue.\u201d It\u2019s because the sources AI relies on\u2014like Yelp, directories, review sites, or local articles\u2014don\u2019t mention you clearly, consistently, or often enough. Fixing those sources usually fixes the AI visibility problem.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Which platforms influence AI brand mentions the most?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>For most small businesses, the biggest influencers are review platforms (like Yelp and Google Business Profile), trusted directories, local publications, and well-written service or \u201cabout\u201d pages on your own website. The exact mix depends on your industry and location.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>How often should I check my brand mentions in AI tools?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Once a week is enough for most businesses. AI answers don\u2019t change daily the way rankings can. A short weekly check helps you spot new mentions, missing citations, or incorrect information before they compound.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>What is diib\u00ae\u2019s AI Visibility Score?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>The diibAI Visibility Score tracks whether your brand appears in AI-style queries and identifies the sources driving those mentions (or omissions). It gives you a simple way to see trends over time instead of manually checking multiple tools.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Does improving my Yelp profile really help AI visibility?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Yes. If AI tools are citing Yelp or similar platforms when answering questions in your category, improving those profiles directly improves the information AI can pull. More complete profiles, accurate categories, and strong reviews all help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>What if an AI tool cites an article that mentions me incorrectly?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Focus on fixing the source, not the AI. Reach out to the site with clear corrections\u2014updated services, hours, location, or a short replacement paragraph. Once the source is corrected, AI answers often improve on their own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>Do I need special \u201cAI optimization\u201d software?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>No. The fundamentals still matter most: consistent business information, strong reviews, credible citations, and clear website content. Tools like diib\u00ae help you monitor and prioritize, but the improvements happen on the same platforms you already use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n  <h3>How long does it take to see better AI brand mentions?<\/h3>\r\n  <p>Some improvements show up within weeks\u2014especially after fixing major profiles or correcting high-impact articles. Broader consistency and reputation improvements usually take one to three months, depending on how often the sources are crawled and updated.<\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n","time_read":"","menu-side":"<nav aria-label=\"On-page navigation\">\r\n  <ul>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#why-different\">Why this is different from Google<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#monitoring-stack\">A simple monitoring stack<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#chatgpt\">Find your business in ChatGPT<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#perplexity\">Find your business in Perplexity<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#claude\">Find your business in Claude<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#fastest-prompts\">The fastest prompts to uncover mentions<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#diib-score\">How diib\u00ae\u2019s AI Visibility Score works<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#improve-sources\">Improve mentions by improving the sources<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#weekly-routine\">A weekly routine you can keep<\/a><\/li>\r\n    <li><a href=\"#good-looks-like\">What \u201cgood\u201d looks like<\/a><\/li>\r\n  <\/ul>\r\n<\/nav>\r\n","cta_title":"How can diib\u00ae help me improve my website today?","cta_text":"<p>diib\u00ae connects to your Google Analytics account in about 60 seconds (optional to start) and shows you exactly what to fix to grow your website.
