AnswerLift  /  Data studies

We checked 890 local businesses. 86% never came up in AI search.

For each business we asked an AI answer engine the one question a new customer asks first — “best {industry} in {their city}” — and recorded whether it was recommended. Study by study, industry by industry.

Every number is generated by the same automated check we offer for free, run once per business on the date shown in each study, and never edited by hand. The city-by-city results — who AI recommends and who never came up — live in the AI visibility index.
