People starting a business or switching accountants already ask AI who to call. See in about 2 minutes whether AI can read your firm’s website. Free.

Takes about 2 minutes. Free, no credit card.

AI recommends businesses without charging for it. The first step is making sure it can read your website.

What business owners already ask AI

These are the questions — the prompts — that reach ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. With the subscription, PlaceFirstAI asks the six AIs questions like these every month and shows who comes up instead of you.

  • “CPA for small businesses in your city”
  • “Accountant who specializes in medical practices”
  • “Best online bookkeeping service for startups”
  • “Tax preparer near me open on weekends”
  • “Who can help me set up an LLC in your state?”
  • “Accounting firm for online stores”

What AI needs to find on your website

AI recommends what it can read and confirm. For an accounting firm, that usually means:

  1. Who you work for

    The industries and business sizes the firm serves, each with its own page.

  2. What’s included

    Services written clearly — bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, advisory — and whether you work remotely.

  3. Who signs off

    Your CPAs and their licenses, the city and how long the firm has been around.

A date and a source on every article

Tax rules change every year. Text that says who wrote it, when it was updated and where the facts come from is easier for AI to confirm. In Studio, every article has a byline and a date, and the AI cites the source for every figure.

Your diagnosis

How ready the site is to be cited by AI, across the three axes.

0/100

Good

Weakest axis: Preference

The AIs find and understand the site, but they have no reason yet to prefer the brand.

  • Access82

    Three of the four AIs' crawlers can get into the site.

  • Clarity61

    The offer comes through, but it lacks details AI can repeat.

  • Preference48

    Proof and direct answers to buying questions are missing.

Fastest win

Allow Perplexity's crawler in robots.txt: it is the lowest-effort fix and gives the brand a chance to be named there again.

Business risk

Anyone comparing options with AI sees the competitors first and decides before visiting the site.

Why it matters. It is the starting point: it shows how ready the site is to be read and cited. Whether the AIs actually name the brand is what monitoring measures.
