If someone in Huntsville searched for your business on ChatGPT right now, would you show up?

Probably not. And you're not alone. Research shows AI tools like ChatGPT only recommend 1.2% of local businesses. The other 98.8% are completely invisible.

That's where GEO comes in and it's changing everything about how Alabama businesses get found online.

I've written a blog post with lot's of details and data ( ) and tips on how you can help your Alabama business be mentioned by AI. New post is live: https://pipermache.com/what-is-geo-and-why-your-alabama-business-needs-it-now/.

Is AI sending customers to your competitors instead of you?

Here's something most small business owners don't realize yet:
1 in 3 AI-powered searches for local businesses pull results directly from Yelp — including your customer reviews.

That means when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI overview "who's the best [your business type] near me", Yelp is one of the sources feeding that answer.

And if your Yelp listing is unclaimed, outdated, or sitting there with zero reviews? You're invisible!

Here's what to do right now:
✅ Claim your Yelp listing (it's free)
✅ Make sure your name, address, and phone are accurate
✅ Add photos and a keyword-rich business description
✅ Encourage happy customers to leave a review organically

Your online reputation isn't just for humans anymore. AI is reading it too.
