Does ChatGPT name your store, skip it, or send the buyer to someone else?
I ask the AI engines the questions your buyers ask, signed out, in your market. Then I fix the sources the engines read about your store, and run the same questions again every month.
The Index: your store and the stores around you, against the questions buyers ask, signed out and dated.
Three answers a buyer can get about your store.
The engine answered the question and your store wasn't in it.
You were in the list. The buyer was pointed somewhere else.
The engine picked you, and said why.
There is a fourth, and a mention counter scores it as a win: the avoid list. I read for it on every run.
Who is reading your answers.
Adrian Marin spent eighteen years in car sales, from the floor to the general manager's office. The desk, the floor, the factory calls. The measurement is his, and so is the phone call.
What a market looks like when it is measured.
Hickory, North Carolina. Perplexity. The same 15 questions, four runs across 22 days. Seven stores unnamed in July, seven on 8 August, seven the morning of 14 August, nine that afternoon. Four were never named once, in any of the 60 answers recorded. Three of those four are franchise stores: a Hyundai store, a Mitsubishi store, a Volkswagen store.
Dallas, Texas. ChatGPT, signed out, 31 August 2026. Twenty buyer questions. Six of the twenty most-reviewed used-car dealers were never named. The six carry 453 to 2,228 Google reviews each.
In Hickory, one store went unnamed across three runs over 22 days. Four hours after the third run, we asked the same 15 questions again, and that store was named four times. We had changed nothing there in between. That's why one check is never enough. From the West Coast to the Northeast and Southeast, we've logged hundreds of dated buyer answers.
Yours runs the same way. Request your market's index.
The month.
The Index.
The same buyer-question battery runs again on your market every month, signed out, dated and verbatim. Same questions, same conditions, so month over month is a real comparison and not a fresh opinion.
The delta.
What moved and what didn't, against last month's capture. Every month carries its own intervention list off that delta, and the work that month comes off the list.
Vendor reads.
Two AI vendor pitches a month, read against a fixed written scorecard, back to you inside five business days.
The call and the one-pager.
Forty-five minutes a month to walk it, plus one page you can carry upstairs and defend without me in the room.
No passwords, no DMS access, no CRM access.
Nothing in this scope needs a login from your side.
There is no maintenance month.
Month one clears the wreckage. The months after are when the position gets built, because the engines keep re-reading their sources and your competitors keep moving. You can cancel any month, there is no contract. And the day the work stops, the engines keep re-reading and the gap starts reopening. The month the intervention list runs dry is the month you should cancel, and I will tell you when it does.
Pricing, in writing.
Groups are priced on the call, because the market count and the call change.
Every month the same buyer questions run the same way, signed out and dated, and you see what changed in writing.
