AI visibility for local businesses means one thing: when someone asks ChatGPT or Gemini for a plumber, dentist or roofer in their town, does your name come up? More people now ask an AI assistant before they open Google Maps. If the AI names three competitors and not you, that lead is gone before your Google Business Profile ever loads.
Livesov tracks this for you. It asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Grok the same local questions your customers ask, on a schedule, and shows you the answers.
See if AI recommends you in your city
Start with your service and your city. Livesov suggests near me prompts and city prompts, like “best emergency electrician near me in Tampa” or “who does same day AC repair in Mesa”. You can keep them, edit them or write your own.
Each run records whether your business was named, where it showed up in the answer, and what the AI said about you. Paid plans run automatically, up to once a day, so you see a trend and not one lucky (or unlucky) answer.
Who AI recommends instead
When you are missing, someone else is being named. Livesov lists the other businesses that show up in the same answers and how often. Add your known local competitors and you can compare share of voice side by side, prompt by prompt.
This is often the most useful view for an owner. It turns “AI does not mention us” into “AI names these two shops for this service in this part of town”, which is something you can act on.
Fix the citations AI trusts (NAP)
AI answers often cite the sources behind them: directories, review sites, local news and your own site. Livesov captures those cited domains so you can see which sources the AI leans on for your category and city.
Many of those sources are the same citations local SEO has always cared about. If your name, address and phone (NAP) do not match across them, the AI has mixed signals about who you are. Check your listings with the free NAP verification tool, then make sure your Google Business Profile, website and main directories all say the same thing.
Reports you can send to the owner
Agencies need proof they can share. On Pro and above, Livesov exports a PDF report with share of voice, the platform breakdown, top prompts, competitors, cited sources and suggested next steps. You can also schedule a fresh PDF weekly or monthly so it is ready before every client call.
Each client gets their own brand in your account, with their own prompts, competitors and history, so nothing gets mixed up.
