DC business owners: Can ChatGPT find your business?

ChatGPT can now help people discover and even book restaurants without sending them to the restaurant’s website.

That raises a bigger question for local businesses: if customers start searching through AI instead of Google, will AI know enough about your business to recommend you?

Is AI visibility on your radar yet?

I think we’re at the beginning of a pretty big shift for small businesses.

More customers are starting to ask AI tools who to hire before they ever visit Google.

I’ve been watching how different businesses appear in ChatGPT responses and the patterns are fascinating.

It’s less about “who has the fanciest website” and more about overall trust and authority across the web.

Curious if anyone here has tested whether their business shows up in AI tools yet?

Who's going to the Small Business Expo this week in DC?

I attended last year and found it incredibly valuable for making connections. I'm looking forward to this year's event too!

What are you hoping to gain from attending? What do you do to keep new contacts fresh and deepen connections?
