For local questions, AI reads your Google profile. Make it count.
When someone asks for “a web design agency in Madrid”, AI Overviews, AI Mode and Gemini lean heavily on Google Business Profiles. Citable reviews yours, compares it with the top 3 on Maps and measures how far your visibility reaches around your business.

Find your profile by name and city, or paste its Google Maps link. Citable reads its public data (no need to sign in with your Google account) and compares rating, number of reviews, latest review, photos and category with the median of the top 3 for your main local search. What Google doesn’t publish, it says so.

How far your visibility reaches, on a 3 × 3 grid.
Citable asks Google the same question from 9 points around your business, 1.5 km apart, and reads the AI Overviews and AI Mode answer at each one: whether it links to you, names you or leaves you out. ChatGPT and Gemini don’t let you choose a location, so the grid only measures Google.
- Grids a month: 1 on Starter, 3 on Growth and 6 on Business
- Per question and per Google AI surface
- Centred on your profile’s location
The same details everywhere.
Google and AI tools trust a business more when its basic details match everywhere. Citable compares your profile with your website (footer, contact page, structured data, phone links) and with the directories it can read, and only flags differences it’s sure about.
- Profile, website and directories compared
- Conservative: what can’t be read isn’t compared

Questions about this feature
What people ask before they start. If something’s missing, write to us.
Write to usDo I need to give access to my Google account?
No. Citable reads your profile’s public data through DataForSEO. If Google doesn’t publish a detail, the page says it can’t be checked from outside instead of guessing.
Which businesses is this for?
Businesses that serve a specific place or area: shops, clinics, studios, restaurants, local services. You mark it in your site’s settings and the Google Business Profile page appears.
What does the local grid measure?
The same question asked to Google from 9 points around your business (a 3 × 3 grid, 1.5 km apart), reading AI Overviews and AI Mode at each one: links to you, names you or you don’t appear.
Why doesn’t the grid include ChatGPT?
Because ChatGPT and Gemini don’t let you set the location of a question, so the grid can only be measured on Google’s AI surfaces.
How often can I review my profile?
Whenever you want, with “Review again”, once an hour. Searches to find your profile are limited to 30 a day.
