When someone nearby asks ChatGPT for the best plumber, dentist or gym, does it name you?
"Near me" moved into the chat window. The engines answer local questions with two or three business names pulled from your site, your Google Business Profile, reviews and directories. CiteLoop tracks the questions your customers ask about your area every week, shows who got named, and fixes what is keeping you out.
We find the gap, write the page, your team approves it, then it goes live
Answer engine optimization (AEO) with the publishing built in. Most tools stop at the report. CiteLoop keeps going until something is published and measured.
1We find where you are missing
Every week we ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google the questions customers in your area actually ask, and record who got cited. When it is not you, you see who it was.
2We write the content
A brief picks the one page closest to a win and says what to change and why. Our writer drafts the new page or the rewrite, with sources, in your voice, inside the brief.
3Your team reviews it
Each brand has its own review step. Your editor reads the draft in the brief; the owner or manager signs off on every page, with a due date. Nothing goes live without a person signing off.
4It gets published, directly or manually
Approved pages publish straight through the WordPress or Shopify plugin, or we hand you clean HTML to paste into any CMS. Kill switch on by default, no auto-publish.
Then we measure it. Every published page gets its own 28-day result, and a monthly report you can forward to whoever signs the renewal.
What is different in local
1The answer is a shortlist, not a list
Google shows ten results. ChatGPT names two or three businesses and moves on. Being fourth is being invisible. We track whether you are on the shortlist for every question that matters in your area.
2Four sources feed the answer
Your site, your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and the directories. The engines read all four. We check all four, and the brief tells you which one is holding you back on each question.
3Every location, its own loop
Multi-location businesses get a tracked set and a page per location, with LocalBusiness schema, hours and service area on each. The report rolls up so the owner sees every location on one page.
What we look at for a local business
The free scan runs these once. Plans run them every week, per location.
- Whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude name you on "best X in [city]" and "X near me" questions
- Who gets named instead: the franchise, the aggregator, the competitor down the street
- Google rank and the local pack on the same questions
- Name, address and phone consistency across your site, Google Business Profile and the major directories
- LocalBusiness schema, hours, service area pages, and whether the AI crawlers can read them
- Review count, rating and recency, which the engines lean on when they pick a shortlist
Every number that moves when the loop runs, on one screen
Google and the AI engines, side by side, read every week. Nothing here is a vanity metric: each one is a thing a brief can change and the next reading can confirm. Below is a sample 12-week run so you can see the shape of it.
Twelve years of living on search, now pointed at the answer engines
CiteLoop comes out of HomeLife Media, a publisher that has written, ranked and sold against search for over a decade. We are not a software company guessing at content. We have shipped a hundred thousand pages, watched a billion visits arrive, and sold a quarter billion dollars of product off them. That history is what every brief is trained on, and the same loop now runs for brands, practices, medical groups and local businesses.
