Small business

Find out if ChatGPT recommends you, then fix the page that decides it.

Proofsource is an AI visibility platform that shows which buyer questions name your brand in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, who gets named instead, and exactly what to fix. For founders and local businesses, that means a plain answer on whether AI recommends you, and the one or two changes most likely to get you named.

Jobs to be done

You do not need a team to show up in AI answers.

People now ask ChatGPT which clinic, plumber, accountant or tool to choose, and many book straight from the answer. A small business can win those answers with a clear website and a few listings.

Job 01

Get a yes or no in an afternoon

Tell us your website. Proofsource works out what you do and the questions your customers ask, then asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews. You see which questions name you and which name someone else, 2 scans, no card.
Job 02

See who AI sends people to instead

For each question you miss, you see the businesses the engine recommended and the answer it gave. Often they are not your usual rivals, just the ones with a clearer website.
Job 03

Fix your own site first

The fixes list starts with what you control: services explained one by one, the questions people ask before booking answered on the page, and a site AI crawlers can actually read.
Job 04

Get onto the pages AI trusts

Citations show the directories, review sites and local guides the engines quote. Being listed on the right two or three often matters more than another blog post.
Job 05

Check it worked

The second trial scan, a day after the first, shows which answers held. On a Custom plan your questions are checked every day, so you can see a change land.
A real example

A small clinic rewrote its site. New clients said ChatGPT sent them.

A small private therapy practice rebuilt its website in September 2026. The new site explained each service in plain words, answered more of the questions people ask before booking, and told search engines and AI crawlers what was on it. Within days, the owner told us, new clients said they had found the practice through ChatGPT.

  • The site changes are verified from the site's own code history.
  • The bookings are reported by the owner, not measured: the site had no working analytics.
  • The practice belongs to a member of our founder's family. Read it as a story, not as proof.

FAQ

Questions small businesses ask

Does ChatGPT really send customers to small businesses?

It can. People ask it which local practice, shop or service to use, and it names a few. The clinic on this page is one owner-reported example; we do not claim a measured lift, because that site had no working analytics.

What does the free trial include?

2 free scans, today and tomorrow. Each scan asks 25 buyer questions on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, with no card and no sales call. After the second scan, scanning pauses and every answer stays in your workspace.

Do I need technical skills?

No. Enter your website and Proofsource writes the questions. The fixes are written in plain words, and the drafts are wording you can paste into your site.

Which AI engines do you check?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews, on the trial and on every Custom plan. Grok and DeepSeek can be added to a Custom plan.

What does it cost after the trial?

Custom starts from $64 per brand per month. Final price confirmed at launch. A single business tracks a single brand, so that is the whole bill.
