AI visibility for local businesses
Clinics, studios, firms and trades. When someone asks ChatGPT for “a family dentist in Austin with weekend hours”, a short list comes back. TangentFlow tells you whether you are on it, who is instead, and what to change.
The questions
What your customers are already asking assistants.
- Best family dentist in Austin with weekend hours
- Affordable wedding photographer in Denver
- Accountant in Brooklyn for a small business
- Emergency plumber near me that works Sundays
- Physiotherapist in Portland that takes new patients
Each scan generates twenty questions like these for your market and location, across finding options, comparing, price, trust and validation. Add up to ten of your own.
What the scan finds
Three things you cannot see from your own screen.
The wrong city, the missing service
The mirror moment shows what each assistant believes about you: address, hours, services. Wrong or missing facts are flagged with the page that should state them.
Who gets named instead
Every rival an assistant recommends for your questions, how often, and the reasons it gives: “open Saturdays”, “takes insurance”, “great reviews on Yelp”.
Eight local checks
City in the title, address in text, phone, hours, map, booking link, LocalBusiness schema, and whether AI crawlers can reach the site at all.
Where the answers come from
The sources assistants read for this kind of question.
- Google Business Profile
- Yelp
- Healthgrades and Zocdoc for clinics
- Houzz and Thumbtack for trades
- local news and “best of” lists
- Reddit threads about the city
The report shows the exact pages cited for your questions and whether you are on them. The directory shows the same for whole markets.
What we draft
The fixes come with the pages written.
- A services page that states the facts assistants got wrong
- LocalBusiness structured data with hours and service area
- A FAQ page for the questions customers ask before booking
- Directory and review-site listing copy
- Replies for local Reddit and neighbourhood threads

Other kinds of customer.
Questions people ask
Do I need a website for this to work?+
Yes, the scan reads your public site. If you only have a Google Business Profile, start there and add a one-page site: assistants cite websites far more than profiles.
We have great reviews. Why are we not recommended?+
Reviews help, but assistants need plain facts too: city, hours, services, prices. The mirror moment shows exactly which facts each assistant is missing.
How local is the scan?+
Questions include your city or neighbourhood, and the report checks the local details assistants read: address, hours, map, booking, schema.
