What the ones that appear have
Profile of the businesses the AI named vs those it didn't, measured IN THIS vertical and these cities (not pooled with others — signals flip by vertical).
| Signal | Appears (n=37) | Doesn't appear (n=525) |
|---|---|---|
| Reviews (median) · n=37/525 | 14 | 0 |
What does NOT set them apart
Signals that do NOT separate the two groups in this vertical. We publish them because they are the honest part: if you're sold that this makes you appear, here is the data that says it doesn't.
| Signal | Appears | Doesn't appear |
|---|---|---|
| Has a website | 94.6% | 87.4% |
| Substantive description | 64.9% | 56% |
| Hours published | 100% | 95.6% |
What you can review on your listing
What the owner controls on their listing, among the signals that do separate. It's correlation, not a promise: reviewing it does not guarantee appearing.
The signal that separates most is REVIEW volume, and that doesn't live on your listing: those are your Google reviews. No technical layer (schema, llms.txt) replaces it.
How it was measured, and its limits
measured over 189 answers of ChatGPT.
Answers by city: Heroica Puebla de Zaragoza 24 · León de los Aldama 24 · Juárez 23 · Santiago de Querétaro 22 · Buenos Aires 12 · Mazatlán 12 · Playa del Carmen 12 · Puerto Vallarta 12 · Zapopan 12 · Santiago 12 · Bogotá 12 · Acapulco de Juárez 12.
An AI answer is a snapshot of one wave, not a fixed number: it can change between runs without your business changing anything. That's why we publish the date range and the number of answers, not a lone score. If it changes because of a bug on our side, that's a bug, not volatility.
