Customers are asking AI where to eat tonight. Make sure your restaurant is the answer.
Check Your AI VisibilityWhen someone asks an AI assistant for restaurant recommendations, only a handful of places get mentioned. AI engines pull from review sites, food blogs, and structured data to decide which restaurants to recommend. If your restaurant lacks visibility across these sources, AI simply won’t know you exist — no matter how great your food is.
Example: When someone asks ChatGPT "What are the best Italian restaurants in Austin?"
“Best brunch spots near downtown Denver”
“Where should I eat sushi in Miami?”
“Restaurants with outdoor seating in Portland”
“Best date night restaurants in Chicago”
Restaurants with strong Google Business profiles, hundreds of Yelp reviews, mentions on food blogs, and structured menu data. Chains and well-reviewed independents dominate AI responses.
