Get your business found in AI search.

Start by measuring where you actually stand. NearLoka asks the AI engines your customers use — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude — the real questions people search, and checks whether your business comes up. It turns that into a single LokaSignal score across all four engines and shows you the specific gaps holding you back, so you can fix what makes AI engines recommend you. For most small businesses, the biggest wins come from giving the engines a clear, accurate, machine-readable description of what you offer and who you serve.

Increasingly, yes. When someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation — a restaurant, a plumber, a barber — the engine answers with a short list of specific businesses, drawn from what it can read about your area: websites, listings, reviews, and structured data. NearLoka measures whether your business is one of the names in that answer.

NearLoka scans your visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude — the major AI engines where customers are increasingly searching for local businesses.

The LokaSignal score measures how visible your business is in AI search results. It helps you see your current AI discovery performance and identifies specific gaps to fix so AI engines are more likely to recommend you.

Four signal groups: AI search visibility (whether engines actually find and recommend you on real local searches), web and content (whether your website gives engines clear, machine-readable information), reviews and reputation, and profile and listings consistency. Your scan shows how you stand on each, so you know exactly where the gaps are.

AI answers are a moving picture. Engines update their sources continuously, and the same question can get a slightly different answer from one day to the next — they are not fully deterministic. That's why NearLoka reads your visibility as a trend over repeated scans rather than a single snapshot, and why rescanning after you make fixes is how you see whether they landed.

Traditional SEO is about ranking in a list of links. AI search is different: the engine gives a direct answer that names only a handful of businesses. Getting into that answer depends on how clearly engines can read and trust what's published about you — your site, listings, reviews, and structured data. The two are related, but they're measured differently. NearLoka measures the AI answer side: whether you're recommended, by which engines, and what's holding you back.

NearLoka works with local and neighborhood-based businesses anywhere that want to be found and recommended in AI search.

NearLoka is built for small and medium businesses that want to be found in AI search engines.

Hello Loka is the AI coach inside NearLoka. It knows your business from the inside — your scans, your competitors, and your gaps — explains them in plain language, and drafts the fixes for you to approve. You stay in control; it does the legwork.

A LokaPage is a clean, fast business page generated from your verified business information — designed so customers and AI systems can both read it clearly. It carries your services, answers to real customer questions, and structured data, and stays current as your business changes. The page you're reading is NearLoka's own LokaPage. LokaPages are rolling out to NearLoka members.

NearLoka's competitor visibility analysis shows you exactly which competitors are being recommended by AI engines when customers ask questions in your space, so you can see where you're losing visibility.

After scanning, NearLoka provides a LokaSignal score and shows you specific visibility gaps to fix, helping you take action to get chosen by AI over your competitors.

Listing and review tools manage your presence on directories. NearLoka starts from the other end: it measures what AI engines actually say when customers ask, then works backward to the specific fixes — across your site, listings, reviews, and structured data — that change the answer. Listings are one input; the measured AI answer is the outcome that matters.
