Is AI recommending your restaurant in London?
More and more diners ask AI assistants where to eat instead of scrolling through maps and review sites. The assistant answers with a short list of names, and a restaurant that isn't on that list is simply not considered.

What helps
How to improve your AI visibility
These can help; no one can guarantee AI recommendations.
- 01
Say clearly what you serve and where
Cuisine, dishes you're known for, neighborhood and address on your homepage, in plain text, not only in images.
- 02
Add Restaurant structured data
schema.org Restaurant markup with address, opening hours, cuisine and menu link helps machines read your site.
- 03
Get into the guides AI cites
Check which guides and lists AI cites for your city in your report, and work on being featured there.
- 04
Keep review profiles complete
Up-to-date descriptions, photos and replies on the review sites that appear as sources.
- 05
Describe occasions and audiences
Dates, families, groups, tourists: pages or sections that match how people ask.
- 06
Don't block AI search crawlers
Make sure robots.txt doesn't block the crawlers AI search tools use.
FAQ
Questions
- Why doesn't ChatGPT mention my restaurant?
- AI assistants recommend what they find described clearly and repeatedly across trusted sources. If guides, review sites and your own site say little about what makes you special, you are less likely to be named. The report shows which sources AI used for your city.
- Is a high Google ranking enough?
- Not always. AI answers often draw on a handful of guides and lists rather than the normal ranking of websites, so a business can rank well on Google and still be missing from AI answers.
- How often should I check?
- AI answers change over time. Checking monthly shows whether your changes are working.
