A mention is unhelpful when the details are wrong
Fictional example: an Elche workshop repairs catering equipment, but an assistant describes it as a car repair business. Mentioning its name may still attract the wrong customer. First make it easy to understand what you offer, where you work and how to request a quote.
This review helps identify inaccuracies and improve information you control. A single answer is not a market ranking: wording, context and date can change the result. Nor does an answer prove that the assistant visited your website.
Prepare five questions a customer might ask
Test both business-name questions and questions about the customer's problem. Use actual services and locations you serve. Record the exact question, date, tool, answer and cited links, including whether web search was used.
- What services does [business] offer in [location]?
- Does [business] handle this kind of repair or order?
- Which areas does it serve and how do I request a quote?
- Where can I find its opening hours and service terms?
- What options can solve [specific problem] in [area]?
Check each claim against a source
Separate accurate facts, incorrect claims and statements you cannot verify. Open cited links: an old directory may still show a previous phone number. Without a source, do not assume the answer came from your website.
Record the specific error, the page that should clarify it and who can correct that page. For example: ‘the answer says Saturday opening; the contact page says Monday to Friday’. Keep customers' personal details out of your test questions.
- Business name and activity, avoiding confusion with similarly named companies.
- Specific service, intended customer and scope limitations.
- Service area, opening hours and contact channels.
- Prices and delivery times only where published and current.
- Links that open the correct page and let customers continue their enquiry.
Correct the source before testing again
If your website is unclear, create or improve a service page explaining actual tasks, coverage and the next step. Keep contact pages and public listings you manage consistent. Images can support the explanation but should not be the only way to understand the service.
Ask third-party publishers to correct their own inaccurate information. Updating your website does not immediately remove old copies or compel an assistant to refresh its answer. Record the change and repeat the check without treating a favourable answer as a permanent result.
Technical checks worth requesting
Google's guidance retains search fundamentals: accessible content, internal links and structured data consistent with visible information. Its AI features require no special files or exclusive schema. OpenAI recommends allowing OAI-SearchBot for content to be included in ChatGPT Search summaries and snippets; access does not guarantee inclusion.
Check indexing eligibility, crawler access and canonical pages before buying supposed shortcuts. Review search access separately from other uses of content. Do not expose private information or remove protection from private areas to make crawling easier.
Measure useful enquiries, not just mentions
Keep a small record of the question, error, source, correction and later result. Look at referral visits where measurable under existing consent and analytics settings. Then check whether a commercial enquiry followed and what the customer needed. A mention or visit is not a sale.
