The four most common causes, in order of likelihood: AI crawlers blocked at the server level, a thin or inconsistent Google Business Profile, missing or contradictory directory listings, and no pages that answer the questions homeowners actually ask. Each is checkable in minutes.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers read your site through dedicated crawlers (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot). Check your robots.txt and confirm none of those agents are disallowed.
Gaps that cost you: category mismatch, a service area that doesn't match reality, and a review count behind nearby competitors — especially important right after a storm when comparison shopping is fast.
AI engines cross-reference your business name, address, and phone across directories and your own site. Inconsistency reads as lower trust.

Check robots.txt for a disallow rule against GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, or ClaudeBot.
