Can an Agent Find You?
People are starting to ask their phone who to hire.
It answers with three names.
You don’t find out whether yours was one of them. There’s no missed call to notice.
It’s a writing-things-down problem, and most shops haven’t done it, because nobody ever asked them to.
A phone reads five plain things on your own site: what you do, where you do it, when you’re open, roughly what it costs, and what you don’t do. It reads the words. It skips the video.
Paste your address. This reads your site the way a customer’s phone would.
It tells you what it could find, what it couldn’t, and the one thing to fix first.
Then you can get back to the work.

Reading it the way a phone would
What a phone can read
It reads what’s there, not what you meant to put there. Every quoted phrase in the reading is checked against your page before you see it; if the words aren’t on the page, it says so rather than guessing.
Questions owners ask before they run this
How do I know if ChatGPT recommends my business?
You mostly don’t, and that is the problem. When a customer asks an assistant who to call, you never see the list you were left off.
The nearest thing to knowing is reading your own site the way the assistant does: literally, in plain words. If the five facts are there, you can be named. If they aren’t, you can’t, however good the work is.
What does an AI assistant actually read on a website?
The words. Not the design, not the video, not the photo of the truck.
It reads what you do, where, when you’re open, roughly what it costs, and what you don’t do, if those are written on the page. A slogan is not a fact. “Call for a quote” is not a price. Hours in an image can’t be read.
Is my Google Business Profile enough?
It helps, and keep it current. But a directory can change its format or its rules without telling you, and it holds only the fields it offers.
Your own site is the one copy you control. Put the five facts there first, then make sure the listing matches it.
Do I need an agency or technical markup for this?
Not for the five facts. That is writing, not marketing, and it takes an afternoon. Plain sentences on your own page do the job.
Anyone selling you a package for this is mostly selling the same five sentences with a longer name.
Is this free?
Yes. It’s free and it doesn’t ask for your email. It reads the address you give it once and hands back the reading. We don’t save what you type.
There is nothing to buy on this page.
The five facts a phone reads are the first page of what a buyer reads too. That’s the whole of the field note this instrument came from, and the reason the question it asks is the same question The Owner’s Review opens with: what about this business exists outside your head?
If the reading came back with two or three rows missing and you’d rather someone wrote the page with you, in your words, that’s a small job I do. Leave an email and I’ll write back myself.
Got it. I’ll write back myself, usually within a day.
