ChatGPT is recommending med spas in your city. We find out if you're one of them.
People now ask AI which local business to use, and the answer names three or four. If you're not in that list, you never come up at all.
Book a 15 minute callThere is no page two in an AI answer.
Someone types "best med spa in Sherman Oaks for Botox" into ChatGPT. They get a short list, usually three to five businesses, with a sentence about each. That's the whole result. No ten blue links, no scrolling, no second page to fight your way onto.
Either you're named or you're not. Most owners have never checked, so they don't know which one they are.
What $750 buys.
A written audit, delivered in 48 hours, that shows exactly how you appear in AI answers today.
- 30 buying-intent prompts. Real phrasing a potential client would use, built around your services, your neighborhoods, and your competitors. Not keyword strings.
- Run across four platforms. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. That's 120 individual results.
- Your citation rate. How often you're named, on which platforms, for which services and which parts of LA.
- Who's beating you, and why. The competitors that show up repeatedly, plus the specific sources the AI pulled them from.
- A prioritized fix list. Ordered by what moves your citation rate the most, with the work you can do in-house marked separately from the work you can't.
You get the full prompt set and the raw answers, not just a summary. You can rerun any of it yourself.
Here are five of the prompts. Try one now.
Copy any of these into ChatGPT and read the answer. If your name isn't in it, that's the problem, and you just confirmed it without paying us anything.
- What's the best med spa in Santa Monica for Botox?
- Who does the most natural looking lip filler near West Hollywood?
- I'm looking for CoolSculpting in Pasadena. Which clinics should I consider?
- Best med spa in Los Angeles for a first time client who's nervous about looking overdone.
- Which med spas in the San Fernando Valley have licensed nurse injectors and strong reviews?
The other 25 are built for your specific services and service area. There's nothing secret about the list. The work is in reading the answers correctly and knowing what to change.
Most AI citations come from sources you don't own.
When an AI recommends a business, it's usually repeating what it read somewhere else: a directory, a review site, a local roundup, a press mention. Your own website matters, but it's the smaller half of the job. Any audit that only looks at your site is missing where the citations actually come from.
On your site
- Schema markup. LocalBusiness, Service, and Review markup so machines can read what you offer, where, and from whom.
- An llms.txt file. A plain description of your business, services, and service area at a fixed path where AI crawlers look.
- Answer-first service pages. The first sentence under each heading answers the question directly. Models quote sentences, not pages.
- FAQ content structured for extraction. Real client questions, with answers short enough to be lifted whole.
Off your site
- Google Business Profile. Categories, services, attributes, and Q&A completed properly, since it feeds multiple models.
- Directory and citation presence. Consistent name, address, phone, and service data across the specific sources your competitors are being cited from, identified in the audit.
What I won't tell you.
Nobody can guarantee an AI ranking. Anyone who tells you they can is lying to you. These systems change their answers between runs, retrain on their own schedule, and don't publish how they rank. There's no algorithm to buy your way into.
Results take time. Off-site changes have to be crawled and re-indexed before they show up in answers, and that's weeks to months, not days.
I report on prompt coverage, not revenue. The audit measures how often you're named and where that's changing. I'm not going to attribute your bookings to my work, because I can't prove that and neither can anyone else selling this.
The audit is worth paying for even if you never hire me again. You'll know where you stand and what to fix, and you can hand the fix list to whoever you want.
Questions
How is this different from SEO?
SEO gets you ranked in a list of links. This is about being named inside a written answer where only a few businesses get mentioned. The technical work overlaps in places, but the target is different: search engines rank pages, and models cite sources. A site can rank well on Google and never get mentioned by ChatGPT.
How long until I see results?
Weeks to months, depending on what's broken. On-site fixes like schema and page structure can be picked up in a few weeks. Off-site work such as directory corrections and new third-party mentions takes longer, because those sources have to be crawled and the models have to pick them up. Anyone promising a change in days doesn't understand how these systems update.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
No. No one can. AI platforms don't publish their ranking systems, they change answers without notice, and they give different responses to the same question. I can tell you where you stand today, what's causing it, and what to change. That's the honest offer.
What do I get for $750?
A written audit within 48 hours: 30 buying-intent prompts run across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, your citation rate on each, the competitors who show up instead of you, the sources they're being cited from, and a prioritized fix list. You also get the raw prompts and answers so you can verify everything yourself.
Who is behind this?
citycited is run by one person, Logan Bates, based in Los Angeles, California. I build software and I focus on local AI visibility. You'll talk to me on the call and I'll be the one running your audit. There's no team, no account manager, and no sales rep.
What happens after the audit?
Nothing automatic. There's no retainer to sign and no contract. Most of the fix list is work your existing web person can handle, and the audit is written so they can. If you'd rather I do the work, we can talk about that separately after you've read the audit.
Who's behind citycited
I'm Logan Bates, a solo operator working out of Santa Clarita, north of the city. I build software, and for the last stretch I've been focused on one narrow problem: whether AI assistants recommend local service businesses, and what actually changes the answer. citycited is a new business. I'd rather show you the method than tell you about clients I don't have yet. Everything on this page is the real process, including the prompts.
Fifteen minutes, and you'll know where you stand.
No pitch deck. I'll run a few prompts for your business live on the call and you can read the answers yourself.
