# Does AI Know My Business?

> A free AI visibility check for local businesses, built by Nick Castro (https://nickcastrobuilds.com), a Chicago web developer. A business owner enters their business name, city and type of business. An AI agent then asks Google's Gemini, with live Google Search, "Who are the best [trade] in [city]?", checks whether the business is named, fact-checks what AI knows about it, inspects its website, and returns a 0–100 score, the competitors AI names instead, and a step-by-step fix plan with ready-to-paste schema.org code. Free, no sign-up, English and Spanish. Independent tool, not affiliated with Google.

## How the check works
1. Asks AI like a customer: Gemini with Google Search grounding, records who gets named.
2. Fact-checks what AI says: address, phone, hours and reviews compared with the business's own website.
3. Inspects the website: HTTPS, phone-friendly layout, title and description, schema.org business markup, whether AI crawlers are blocked, sitemap.
4. Writes the fix plan: a 0–100 score with the math shown and ready-to-paste LocalBusiness JSON-LD.
