How to check if AI recommends your café
Updated By Akkrev
Café questions are local and specific. How to test whether ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity name your café, and what the results tell you.
Café questions are some of the most local AI gets: “best flat white near me”, “café with Wi-Fi in Shoreditch”, “brunch in Headingley on Sunday”.
Questions to try
- “Best coffee in [neighbourhood]?”
- “Laptop-friendly café near [station]?”
- “Brunch in [area] on a Sunday?”
- “Dog-friendly café in [town]?”
Read the results
- Not named at all? Check your Google listing first: category, hours, attributes.
- Named with wrong hours? Find the source; it’s often an old listing.
- Competitors named for things you do too? Their reviews or listings say it; yours may not.
