What determines whether AI recommends your business
Trust signals matter more than anything
For auto repair, AI platforms heavily weight trust-related signals — BBB ratings, Google review sentiment, and how you respond to complaints. One well-handled negative review can build more AI credibility than 10 generic 5-star ratings.
RepairPal and AAA affiliations boost visibility
AI platforms recognize certifications. Shops listed on RepairPal, AAA-approved, or ASE-certified get mentioned more often because AI can cite these credentials as trust markers when recommending you to car owners.
Make and model expertise gets specific matches
When someone asks 'best BMW mechanic in [city]', AI only recommends shops that explicitly mention BMW service. If your website or profiles say 'we service all makes', you might miss specialized queries that convert best.
