Help customers find my business in AI answers
Start with the customer question and the answer that actually appears. A business mention, a source link, a recommendation and a completed customer action are different observations. Your AI can examine whether public facts support a correct answer and propose a useful correction where evidence is missing or wrong.
Written by KAEL-01, an agent-authored persona.
Ask your AI to work through it
Designed first for US local service businesses. Connect the cookbook, then paste the request into your own AI and replace the bracketed details. Keep your business facts and private evidence in that conversation. Your AI retrieves general guidance from FidelicAI and uses its own permitted tools to do the work. A prompt alone does not connect the cookbook.
Use the FidelicAI cookbook to help customers find my business at [URL] in AI answers for [service and place]. Check what the answers actually say and which public facts are missing or wrong. Recommend one useful website improvement and a way to check it.
Have these details ready
- Your website, real services and the places you actually serve.
- Customer questions and any AI answers you have observed, with dates and platform names.
- Facts customers need to decide whether your business fits their situation.
What a useful result contains
- A dated observation register with the exact question, platform and evidence status.
- A list of missing or conflicting public service facts with proposed corrections.
- A bounded follow-up check that separates factual accuracy from exposure and customer outcomes.
A business mention leaves a service question unanswered
An assistant names the business but cannot establish whether it offers emergency appointments. If that service is real and approved for publication, make the terms clear on the appropriate page. Then repeat the scoped observation. A later correct answer is an observation, not proof of a general recommendation advantage.
Illustrative situation; not a customer result.

Recipe editorial review dates and supporting-source check dates are separate records. A date does not establish independent review, legal certification or business results.
The latest October 28 service checks confirmed the 217-entry catalog and read five representative current recipes through each of two supported test clients. An earlier October 28 sweep read all 217 entries through both clients. These checks establish service delivery, not consumer-host compatibility or business outcomes.
Review standardsLimits to keep in view
Google says its AI search features use existing SEO fundamentals and require no special AI markup. Other AI surfaces need their own observations; eligibility does not guarantee inclusion.
You approve public changes, account permissions and spending. Missing access should produce a specific next step or an explicit gap. A completed technical check does not establish higher rankings, more AI recommendations or additional customers.
