When customers ask AI who to hire, does it say your name?

More buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity for recommendations instead of searching Google. Namedrop shows you whether your business gets named, why competitors get picked instead, and exactly what to fix.

Free, no sales call. Published prices. No long contracts.

Who’s the best family dentist in Queens?

Here are three well-reviewed options:

  1. Maple Avenue Dental: Gentle with kids, open Saturdays.
  2. Queensway Family Dentistry: Strong reviews for same-week appointments.
  3. Northpoint Dental Group: Accepts most major insurance plans.
Your business isn’t on this list.These three just got the call. Namedrop helps you become one of the names AI gives.

Illustrative example with made-up businesses. Real AI answers vary by question, tool and time.

Search changed. Your marketing probably didn’t.

Google used to give people a page of links to compare. AI tools give them one answer with a short list of names. If you’re not in that answer, most people never find out you exist.

How people searched before

Ten blue links. Buyers clicked around, compared sites and made a choice. SEO helped you rank on that page.

How people search now

For a reliable roofer nearby, customers often recommend Summit Roofing, Oakline Exteriors and Ridge & Rafter. All three offer free inspections.

One answer, three names, decision made. No page two, and often no click to your website at all.

GEO

Generative engine optimization (sometimes called AEO, answer engine optimization) is the work of making your business the one AI tools mention, describe accurately and recommend. SEO gets you onto Google’s results page. GEO gets you into the answer itself.

What GEO does for your business

AI tools build answers from what the internet says about you: your website, reviews, directories, articles and forum posts. GEO shapes those signals so the answer works in your favor.

Get recommended, not just listed

Show up when buyers ask “who’s the best” or “who should I hire” for what you do, in your area, at the moment they’re ready to choose.

Fix what AI gets wrong

Outdated hours, services you don’t offer, an old address, an unfair summary of your reviews. We find the errors and correct the sources AI learns from.

Win the shortlist early

Buyers who hear your name from AI arrive already trusting you. That means warmer leads and less competing on price.

How Namedrop works

No dashboards to learn and no data team required. You get a clear answer and a clear plan.

  1. Tell us about your business

    Your website, what you sell, where you work and who you compete with.

  2. We ask AI what customers ask

    We test the real questions buyers use across the major AI tools, many times each, because answers change from one run to the next.

  3. You get a plain-English report

    How often you’re named, how AI describes you, who wins instead and why, and your fixes in priority order.

  4. Fix it yourself, or let us

    Hand the fix list to your team, or have Namedrop do the work. Your report fee counts toward it.

A report you can act on today

Most AI visibility tools hand you a single score and leave you to work out what it means. We show honest ranges and tell you exactly what to do next.

  • How often you’re named across AI tools, shown as a range from repeated tests
  • What AI actually says about you, and what it gets wrong
  • Which competitors get recommended instead, and the sources AI trusts for them
  • A prioritized fix list with copy-ready changes for your site and listings

Built for businesses, not data teams

Enterprise AI visibility software is powerful, but it’s built for companies with analysts to run it. Namedrop is built for owners and lean marketing teams who need answers and results.

Questions

What is GEO, in one sentence?

It’s the work of getting your business mentioned, described accurately and recommended when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity for advice.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO helps you rank in a list of Google links. GEO helps you appear inside the answer AI writes. They overlap, but ranking well on Google doesn’t guarantee AI will name you, and AI draws heavily on reviews, directories and other sites, not just your website.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend my business?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. AI answers change from one question and one day to the next. What we can do is measure honestly, show you why competitors get picked, and improve the signals AI relies on so your odds go up.

Which AI tools do you check?

The major assistants people use for recommendations: ChatGPT, Google Gemini and AI Overviews, Claude and Perplexity. Coverage depends on your report tier.

How long until I see changes?

Quick fixes, like correcting wrong business details, can show up within weeks. Building enough reputation for AI to recommend you usually takes a few months. Monthly tracking shows you what’s actually moving.

Do I need a marketing team to use the report?

No. Reports are written in plain English with step-by-step fixes. If you’d rather not do it yourself, our team can.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. Reports are one-time purchases, tracking is month to month, and full-service work runs on 90-day terms.
