Attention shows you how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google's AI Overviews answer that question. Then it ships the fix, which a tracker that hands you a report cannot: structured data served to your site, or a website we build, host and keep updating as the answers move.
Two minutes to set up. Your first audit shows the real answers.

Based on what local sources say, two firms stand out: Harbor & Vale Law Group is praised for responsive client communication, and Dunmore Trial Attorneys for courtroom experience. Both offer consultations.
A frequently recommended option is Maple & Main Dental, noted for same-week appointments and gentle pediatric care. Availability changes, so confirming directly is suggested.

Plus classic search results alongside. The two share signals, and measuring one without the other tells you half the story.
The shift
Why ranking in ten blue links isn't enough anymore
The signals overlap with SEO: structured data, trusted citations, clear entity information. But the game being scored is different. AEO measures mentions in answers, not positions in lists. Most businesses have no idea what the engines say about them today.
How search worked
You optimized pages, earned links, and competed for position in a list. Even position five got clicks. The user did the comparing, and there was always a page two.
How answers work now
Someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity for a lawyer, a dentist, a med spa. They get one synthesized answer naming two or three businesses. No list, no clicks, no page two. Google's AI Overviews now answer above the links, too. Either the engines name you, or the conversation ends without you.
1.2%
of local businesses get recommended by ChatGPT. Google's local pack shows 35.9%.
Being findable on Google no longer means being findable at all. Barely half the businesses winning the map pack are the ones AI names, so the work that got you there does not carry over.

FIG. 02The dashboard as a signed-in operator sees it. Numbers and answers are illustrative, every control works. Run an audit, read what each engine said, open a search's history, or switch between before and today — the control never moves, which is how your lift is told apart from the market. Website opens the other half: apply a suggestion and watch the section appear on the site.
01
Measure
All five engines are asked the questions your customers actually ask, on a schedule, and the answers are recorded verbatim.
02
Fix
Every gap becomes a shippable change, grounded in your own business record. Nothing goes live until you approve it.
03
Prove
What you changed is re-measured against control searches we never optimize. If both moved, that was the market, and your dashboard says so.
Execution
We don't hand you a to-do list
Most tools in this category end at a report and leave the work to whoever built your website. Attention pushes the change itself, and still never publishes anything you have not approved.
Keep the website you have
Paste one line into your site once. From then on we serve it structured data: who you are, what you do, where, and the questions you answer. It updates as your measurement changes. No developer, no deploy, no second visit to your CMS.
Schema generated from your verified business facts, never invented.
You approve each deployment; one click retires it again.
Live on your site within the hour, without you touching anything.
Or let us build and run it
A hosted site on templates where the AEO fundamentals (schema, speed, structure, crawlability) are built in and cannot be broken by an edit. Constrained on purpose: creative freedom is how sites become invisible. Edit it visually, publish when ready, connect your own domain.
Pages and sections you edit by clicking them on the live preview.
Your measurement gaps become suggested edits, applied with one click.
Blog posts written against the searches you lose, drafted for your approval.
Contact forms, your own domain, and a sitemap the engines can read.
This is the path where the loop closes on its own: measurement finds the gap, the change is prepared, you approve it, and the next audit says whether it worked.
Either way, nothing goes live until you approve it, and one click takes it back down.

Priority crawling: your scheduled audits run first
Local service businesses live on recommendations, and the engines are now the ones recommending. What Attention measures is the same everywhere. What changes is which questions decide your market.
Keep your SEO tool. Attention measures classic search alongside the answer engines. The difference from an AI visibility tracker is narrower and more important: they tell you what the answers say, and stop there.

Common questions
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the practice of making sure AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention and recommend your business when people ask them for recommendations. It is the AI-era counterpart to SEO: instead of ranking in a list of links, you are either in the answer or you are invisible.
How is AEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO competes for position in a list of links the user still has to click. AEO competes for a place inside a synthesized answer that typically names only two or three businesses and offers no page two. The signals overlap: structured data, trusted citations, clear entity information. But the outcome measured is different. Not clicks, mentions.
How do I track my AI search visibility?
Define the searches that matter ("best personal injury lawyer in Kansas City"), then have each engine asked those questions on a schedule. Attention does this automatically: it records the verbatim answers, computes how often you appear and at what position, tracks which competitors win instead, and emails you when your visibility changes.
Which AI engines does Attention check?
ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Attention asks each engine the questions your customers actually ask, records the verbatim answers, and tracks how often you appear, at what position, and which competitor is recommended instead.
Does Attention fix problems or just report them?
Both. Every gap becomes a shippable fix: structured data your site serves with one line of code, grounded content briefs, an outreach checklist for the pages the engines cite, and hosted sites built AEO-correct from the start. You approve every change before it goes live, and one click takes it back down.
Will Attention invent content about my business?
No. Generated content states only facts from your own business record and your own site. It never invents reviews, prices, credentials, or claims. Regulated verticals (legal, medical, medspa) are additionally restricted so nothing reads as professional advice.
How do I know it is actually working?
Attention measures control searches that it deliberately never optimizes. If your optimized searches improve while the controls stay flat, the improvement is yours rather than the market moving. Your dashboard and weekly digest show both.
Who is Attention for?
Local service businesses that live on recommendations: law firms, medical and dental practices, med spas, and consultancies, plus the agencies that manage their marketing.
How much does Attention cost?
A one-off audit of three searches across all five engines is free. There are three plans: $129 per business per month to track how the engines answer, $329 per month to have the schema, website updates and posts deployed for you, and $799 per month for agencies running 15 to 30 client sites white-labelled. Plans are priced per business rather than per prompt.
