Frequently asked questions
How do I track whether ChatGPT recommends my business?
Track ChatGPT recommendations by running representative local queries, saving the assistant outputs and citations, and monitoring changes over time; RyanAI’s SGO service tracks ChatGPT daily (alongside Perplexity, Gemini and Claude) and delivers one daily AI Visibility Score out of 100 plus gap reports. Those daily logs show whether ChatGPT recommends your business and where to fix missing signals.
How often should I check AI assistants for recommendations?
Check AI assistants daily if recommendations matter to your revenue: RyanAI tracks all four major engines every day and produces a single daily AI Visibility Score. Daily monitoring catches regressions and new opportunities faster than weekly or monthly reviews.
Which AI assistants should I monitor for local-business recommendations?
Monitor ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude — these are the four major engines RyanAI tracks daily. Together they represent the most common assistant sources consumers and other tools query for local recommendations.
What is an AI Visibility Score and how is it calculated?
An AI Visibility Score is a single number (0–100) that summarizes how likely AI assistants are to recommend your business; RyanAI provides one daily AI Visibility Score out of 100. For algorithm details, ask the provider what signals are weighted (mentions, citations, knowledge snippets) and how often the score is recalculated.
Which fixes run automatically and which need my approval?
Reversible fixes are set to run automatically so regressions are corrected quickly, while non-reversible or strategic changes wait for client approval. RyanAI operates month-to-month and requires client sign-off for work beyond automatic reversions.
What are the contract terms and pricing model?
RyanAI operates a month-to-month managed service (SGO) that you approve before work begins, with fixed price agreed upon before any work starts. You can request a free AI visibility check before discussing a retainer.
Do you work with restaurants, medical practices, and beauty studios?
Yes — RyanAI works with local and regional businesses that compete on being recommended, including restaurants, dental and medical practices, and skincare and beauty studios. Services are provided remotely from Missouri (Central Time).
How do I get a free AI visibility check?
Request the complimentary AI visibility check at ryanai.io to see current assistant recommendations before any retainer discussion. The free check is provided prior to commitments so you can evaluate visibility and next steps.
How should I compare RyanAI to services like Yext or BrightLocal?
Compare vendors by whether they track AI assistants (which ones and how often), contract flexibility (month-to-month vs longer terms), transparency of fixes, and turnaround times; RyanAI specifically tracks four major engines daily and offers a daily score and approved fixes. Ask competitors and vendors the same questions to judge fit.
Where is my data stored and can tools run locally on my machine?
RyanAI offers Skein, graph-memory software that runs on the customer’s own machine; for other services, ask each provider about storage location, access, and retention policies. Always confirm who controls backups, exports, and deletion before signing a retainer.
