The problem

You do good work. You get good reviews. But when someone asks ChatGPT who to call, another company gets named.

Fix your website

45% of US consumers used ChatGPT or another AI assistant for a local business recommendation in the past year, up from 6% the year before. BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey 2026.

How customers choose now

Assistants don't guess. They check.

Before ChatGPT, Claude, or a Google AI Overview gives out a name, it looks at key factors including your licence, your reviews, your hours, your website — and whether they agree. Merchant Context verifies your website and public records against the 1,251 factors our research measured in real assistant decisions — fixing the heaviest first, and monitoring the rest.

What gets better

You already did the work. We make sure the proof is there when ChatGPT checks.

01

Your record agrees

Licence, hours, phone, history — the same facts on your site, your listings, and the registers assistants check. We find every disagreement and fix it, with sources, so nothing makes an assistant hesitate.

02

The details that break ties

"Can they come out today?" "What's the service-call fee?" Between two good businesses, these decide it. We put them on your site and in the plugin — from your calendar or your answers, one click, not a form to babysit.

03

Your website answers real questions

"Do you serve 33713?" "Can you fix a tankless?" "Is the estimate free?" Every question a customer asks becomes a page that answers it, in your words — so the answer is on your site when ChatGPT looks.

The website service

Rebuild your website without losing what it already earned.

Most rebuilds throw away the links, pages and rankings that were quietly bringing you calls. We map every URL and keep what works first. Then we rebuild around the 1,251 factors our research measured in real assistant decisions — the top 26 first, since they carry 91% of the eliminations — and add the answers your site never gave.

A better website should not throw away the visibility the old one earned.

Questions worth asking

Frequently Asked Questions
