What determines whether AI recommends your business

70%

ChatGPT relies on Foursquare, not Google

Over 70% of ChatGPT's local restaurant recommendations pull from Foursquare data. If you're not listed there, ChatGPT won't know you exist — even if you rank #1 on Google.

45%

Diners are asking AI before checking Yelp

45% of consumers now use AI for local recommendations, up from 6% a year ago. For restaurants, the shift is even faster — people ask AI for dinner recommendations the same way they used to ask friends.

Review freshness matters more than star rating

AI platforms weight recent reviews heavily. A 4.2-star restaurant with 20 reviews this month outranks a 4.8-star restaurant with no reviews in 6 months. Recency signals that you're still operating and still good.
