When customers ask AI for a firm like yours, are you named?

When people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude or Google's AI Mode which firm to use, each answer names a few firms and leaves out the rest. The audit shows how often you are named, who is named instead, and what to fix first, for firms in Jordan, in Arabic and English. Then, if you want, we fix it for you.

Same firm, same questions: ChatGPT named it in 9 of 16 answers. Perplexity named other firms in 14 of 16 answers, but never this one.

Two firms are named in most answers

On 1 November 2026 we asked five AI assistants the questions founders ask when they set up a company in Dubai. At least one of two consultancies was named in 41 of the 72 answers. The next ten were named in between 5 and 22.

Firms outside the few the assistants favour are rarely named in these answers. The audit shows where your firm stands, and why. We run the same method in Jordan, with your own questions, rivals and languages.

The questions customers in Jordan ask

Every audit starts from questions your customers really ask, in Arabic and English. You approve the list. For example:

  • Best IT services company in Amman
  • Which dental clinic in Amman do you recommend?
  • أفضل مكتب محاماة في عمّان

What the audit measures

One report, built from about 750 answers, that you can read in ten minutes and act on the same week.

  • How often you are named

    By each assistant, in Arabic and English, against up to three rivals you choose. Never pooled into one score.

  • Who is named instead

    Including firms you may not count as rivals, and the assistants' own words about each.

  • The sources they trust

    The websites the assistants rely on when they answer, and which of them leave you out.

  • Your own website

    Anything that stops AI crawlers from reading your pages.

  • What to fix first

    An ordered plan: each action, who should do it and how long it takes.

How it works

  1. You approve the questions

    We draft 30 questions your customers ask, in Arabic and English. You add or remove any.

  2. We ask, repeatedly

    Each question goes to all five assistants several times over three days: about 750 answers.

  3. You get the report

    Every figure shows the number of answers behind it and an honest range, plus the assistants' own words.

  4. We fix it, if you want

    We carry out the plan for you, and the same questions every month show which changes worked.

Why one check is not enough

Ask an assistant the same question twice and it can name different firms. A single screenshot proves very little. The audit asks each question many times and reports a range, so you can tell a real gap from chance.

Common questions

Which AI assistants do you check?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude in Arabic and English, and Google AI Mode in English. Each assistant and language is reported separately, never pooled.

Can you guarantee that AI assistants will recommend us?

No. Nobody controls what an AI assistant says. The audit measures where you stand, shows the sources the assistants rely on and gives an ordered plan; the monthly re-check shows whether each change worked.

How is this different from SEO?

SEO ranks pages in a list of links. AI assistants write one answer and name a few firms. The audit measures that answer directly: whether you are named, how often, and against whom.

Can you fix it for us?

Yes. After the audit we can carry out the plan for you: changes to your website, getting you onto the sources the assistants rely on, and pages that answer your customers' questions, with a monthly re-check to show what worked. It is quoted after the audit as a fixed monthly fee. As with the audit, nobody can guarantee what an assistant will say.

Which countries do you cover?

The countries listed on this page, each with questions set for that country. Arabic-speaking markets are covered in Arabic and English, the others in English.

What do you need from us?

Up to three competitors to compare, your main services, and your approval of the question list. Nothing else, and no access to your systems.
