What customers 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, city by city, and shows who comes up instead of your network.

  • “Where is the nearest your brand in your city?”
  • “Best burger chain in your neighborhood”
  • “Kids’ learning center with a location in your city”
  • “24-hour gym near me”
  • “Dry cleaner with home pickup in your city”
  • “Which your industry franchise has the best reviews?”

What AI needs to find on your network’s website

AI recommends what it can read and confirm. For a franchise network, that usually means:

  1. One page per location

    Address, hours, phone and what each location offers, on its own page — not only on a map.

  2. The same brand everywhere

    The same name, description and details on every page: AI confirms what repeats.

  3. On-brand creative for every location

    Each location’s posts, graphics and texts with the same colors, fonts and logo — so the brand looks the same everywhere.

The brand sets the standard, locations create

In Studio, the brand Foundations — colors, fonts, logo and tone — apply to every piece. Whoever joins the team by invitation creates with them, without being able to delete the brand or touch billing.

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.
