Understand Recommendation Discovery

Recommendation visibility measures whether answer systems mention, recommend or cite a business for relevant customer questions. These are separate signals, and results can vary by prompt, location, system and date.

Understand Recommendation Discovery helps local businesses and agencies improve visibility, attract nearby customers and choose next steps for growth.

Track how the business is described

Use realistic customer questions about a service and location. Record the exact question, date, system and response so a later comparison has context. Check whether the business identity, services and public facts are represented accurately before focusing on how prominently the name appears.

Evidence to keep

  • Exact question and location context
  • Response date and system
  • Accurate, inaccurate or absent business facts

Separate a mention from a recommendation

A business name in an answer is not necessarily an endorsement or a first-choice recommendation. Read the surrounding language and compare the businesses being shortlisted. Track recommendation position separately from citations, and treat individual responses as observations rather than a fixed market share.

Evidence to keep

  • Mention and recommendation language
  • Position among shortlisted businesses
  • Relevant competitors in the same response

Strengthen clear, verifiable public information

Review the sources referenced in the response and the business's own service information. Make names, service areas and contact details consistent, and answer customer questions clearly on crawlable pages. Structured data should describe visible facts; it is not a promise of inclusion or a substitute for useful content.

Evidence to keep

  • Cited URLs and their actual claims
  • Consistent business and service information
  • Useful, accessible answers on the business website
