Bigfoot Intelligence Free AI visibility check

When customers ask AI for a recommendation, are you the answer?

Your customers stopped Googling. They ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity — and right now the AI names someone else. We change that: we fix the exact sources the engines read, so your business becomes the one they recommend.

Asking as: a Kitsilano patientEngine: ChatGPTResponse logged in 3.1s

Q — THE CUSTOMER ASKS:“Best dental clinic in Kitsilano?”

A — THE AI ANSWERS: Based on reviews and reputation, I’d recommend:
  1. Westside Dental Co.
  2. Kits Point Dentistry
  3. 4th Ave Smile Studio

Your clinic: not mentioned. Not once, in any answer. — ed.

How it works

We interrogate the AIs,so you don’t have to guess

Three steps, no jargon: we measure where you stand, we fix what’s keeping you out, and we prove the needle moved.

We ask like your customers ask

30 real-world questions — “best [your service] in [your area]”, “who should I go to for…”, “affordable… near me” — put to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, and asked three times each. That is 360 recorded answers. We ask three times because asking once doesn’t describe an engine: it describes one roll of the dice, and we measured how much the answers move.

FIELD PHOTO 03 — MOUNT PLEASANT, 9:41 PM“‘who should I call for a burst pipe’ — asked, answered, logged.”

We map who wins & why

How often you appear, who gets recommended instead, and the exact signals the AIs are reading — reviews, directories, your website’s structure, Reddit, and more.

FIELD PHOTO 04 — GASTOWN KITCHEN, 6:02 PM“somebody is getting recommended tonight. we find out who, and why.”

We get you onto the pages it reads

We implement the fixes — the facts an engine checks about you (name, address, hours), the directories and review sources it cites, a page per service — and re-test the same frozen questions every month, so the change is measured against your own baseline rather than asserted. Prefer to run it yourself? The report hands you the exact order to do it.

AI answers usually name two or three businesses.If you’re not one of them, you’re invisible at the exact moment a customer is ready to buy — and you’d never know it happened.

— from the audit methodology

Where the AIs read about you

The engines don’t invent answers.They cite sources.

Every recommendation is assembled from places like Google Business, Yelp, Reddit, local directories and local press. If those sources don’t vouch for you, no citation path reaches the answer — and the AI can’t say your name.

Free preliminary check

Is AI recommending you —or your competitor?

Tell us who you are. We ask the AIs the questions your customers actually type — “best [what you do] in [your area]”, “who should I go to for…”, “most trusted near me” — and email you a first look at whether the AI names you, or a competitor. Free. Want the full picture, scored and credited toward your audit? That’s the $29 Snapshot.

FIELD REQUEST — NO CHARGE

The free check isn’t open yet.

The engine behind it works and is measured — but the automatic delivery isn’t connected. A form that takes your details and sends them nowhere isn’t a check: it’s a waiting list nobody reads.

FAQ

Fair questions

Q.1Why does this matter now?

A growing share of “who should I hire / where should I go” decisions now start inside AI assistants instead of Google. Those answers usually name 2–3 businesses. If you’re not one of them, you’re invisible at the exact moment a customer is ready to buy — and you’d never know it happened.

Q.2Is this just SEO with a new name?

Related, but different. AI engines read different signals than Google’s classic ranking: the plain facts about your business, how clearly you are one identifiable place, consistent citations across directories, Reddit and review platforms, and how quotable your pages are. Ranking #3 on Google doesn’t guarantee an AI ever says your name.

Q.3How fast will I see results?

The audit is delivered within 24 hours. Source pages refresh at different rates — a profile you control can be re-read in days, an editorial list can take a season. That’s why the done-for-you plan re-tests the same frozen questions monthly and reports the verdict, whichever way it goes.

Q.4Do you guarantee I’ll be recommended?

No one can honestly guarantee what an AI will say — anyone who promises that is selling snake oil. What we guarantee: a rigorous, reproducible measurement, the exact reasons behind it, and implementation of the fixes with the strongest evidence behind them.

Q.5What do you need from me?

For the audit: nothing but your business name, what you do and where. For done-for-you: access to your website (or your web person’s email) and 30 minutes a month.

We help local businesses get found and get chosen — in Google, in AI answers, and everywhere their customers actually look.

We cover the whole picture: marketing and positioning, social media, websites, IT and automation.

We are one team and one point of contact, not four vendors blaming each other.

We start by measuring where you stand today, so every hour you pay for goes to something that moves.

We make sure a person answers, and that the same person does the work and walks you through it.

We started in 2026 and we say so: you get the attention only a new, small firm can give.

What an AI visibility audit actually measures — what we ask the engines, what comes back, and what it does not tell you.
