We ran the exact question customers type into AI across 121 real businesses in 16 US metros. AI named just 16 of them — leaving 105 (87%) invisible. Here's who AI recommends, and who gets left out of the answer entirely.
For each metro we asked AI answer engines the exact question a client asks — “best med spa in [city].” The result is a live leaderboard of who AI recommends, and who's invisible. Of 121 audited, AI named just 16 — leaving 105 (87%) out of the answer entirely. Here are three cities; each links to the full live breakdown.

These aren't anonymous five-star quotes — they're the unedited result of asking AI answer engines the exact question your customers ask. 87% of the businesses we audited never get named, which means their customers are being handed to someone else before they ever see a website. The fix starts with knowing where you stand.
Enter your business and category. Recommd runs the same live grounded query across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI, scores your visibility 0–100, and shows who gets named instead — free, no signup.
