When customers ask AI, make sure it answers with you
Discovery is moving from blue links to AI answers. LocalMap publishes a machine-readable citation source for your business: hosted pages, schema.org, llms.txt, IndexNow. It measures whether it's working.
AI has no dashboard to log into
ChatGPT and Gemini don't take profile edits. They cite the public web. The only way to manage what AI says about you is to publish accurate, structured facts where crawlers look.
A citation source you actually control
Every location gets a hosted, machine-readable profile page (schema.org markup, clean facts, no ads), purpose-built for assistants to read and cite.
Measured, not assumed
Visibility scans check how your business actually appears across search and AI surfaces, so you can watch citations improve instead of taking our word for it.
From profile to citation
Your listing, the way an assistant reads it
The same master profile that syncs your listings renders a structured public page, and that page is what AI assistants can fetch, parse, and cite.

The citation network
Five pieces, one job: make your facts citable
A public page built for machines and humans
Your master profile publishes to a hosted page (/l/your-business) with your name, hours, services, FAQs, and reviews: clean, fast, and structured so crawlers extract facts without guessing.
Structured data that removes ambiguity
LocalBusiness markup, service schemas, FAQ schemas: the vocabulary Google and LLM crawlers already trust, generated automatically from your profile. No hand-written JSON-LD.
A plain-language brief for AI crawlers
An llms.txt file summarizes your business in the format LLM crawlers are adopting, so when an assistant fetches your page, the important facts are impossible to miss.
Updates pinged to search engines instantly
When your profile changes, IndexNow notifies participating search engines immediately. No waiting for a recrawl while your old hours keep circulating.
See yourself the way AI sees you
Scans crawl your public presence and score how consistently and completely your business appears, with evidence for every finding and a history so you can track the trend.
Verify the crawlers are actually reading you
We check that your hosted page and structured data are reachable and parseable by the crawlers that feed AI answers, because a citation source nobody can crawl is just a webpage.
vs the enterprise pitch
AI visibility shouldn't be an enterprise upsell
Yext sells AI readiness across its top tiers and a separate Pages product, quoted through sales. LocalMap ships the entire citation layer inside Pro Listings at $79/location/mo, self-serve, month-to-month.
- Hosted citation pages included, not a separate Pages product
- llms.txt and IndexNow on by default, no configuration
- Free scan for anyone. Measure before you spend a dollar
- Honest about timelines: we control your facts, not AI's refresh cycle

How do AI assistants decide which businesses to recommend?
They synthesize from public sources: listings, reviews, websites, and structured data. Consistency and completeness across those sources make your business a safe fact to cite; contradictions make assistants skip you or cite something stale.
What exactly do I get with AI Visibility?
A hosted machine-readable profile page for each location, automatic schema.org markup, an llms.txt file, IndexNow pings on every update, visibility scans with history, and crawler reachability checks. It's included in Pro Listings, not a separate SKU.
Can't I just add schema to my own website?
You can, and you should. But hand-maintained markup drifts the moment your hours change. LocalMap generates it from the same master profile that feeds your listings, so your site, listings, and hosted page never disagree, which is the signal AI systems reward.
How is this different from Yext's AI story?
Yext structures your data for AI as part of its enterprise pitch, with Pages sold as a separate product behind a demo. LocalMap ships the whole citation layer (hosted pages, schema, llms.txt, IndexNow, scans) inside Pro at $79/mo, self-serve.
How fast will I show up in ChatGPT answers?
Honestly: it depends, and anyone promising a timeline is guessing. AI systems refresh their sources on their own schedules. What we control is making your facts accurate, structured, and crawlable everywhere, and measuring the change with scans.
Do I need Pro for this?
The free scan works for everyone. Run it anytime. The citation network itself (hosted pages, llms.txt, IndexNow, crawler checks) is a Pro feature at $79/location/mo.
