FriendlyInput — AI Visibility Reporting for Businesses

What is FriendlyInput?

More and more customers are using AI assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini to find local businesses. FriendlyInput tells you whether AI recommends your business — and what to do about it.

We scan your business across major AI platforms, analyze your website and online presence, score your AI visibility across 12+ signals, and give you specific actions to improve. Then we verify whether AI systems actually noticed your improvements.

Who is FriendlyInput for?

FriendlyInput serves business owners, marketing agencies, SaaS companies, and local businesses — anyone who needs AI systems to recommend them when customers search for their type of service. Current customers include car dealerships, professional services firms, restaurants, law firms, medical practices, and local service providers.

How It Works

FriendlyInput uses a four-step intelligence loop:

1. Scan — We scan your business across ChatGPT and Gemini using the types of questions your customers actually ask. We also analyze your website, structured data, business listings, and external sources.
2. Report — You receive a detailed AI visibility report with your score across 12+ signals, what AI platforms say about you, which competitors they recommend instead, and what changed since your last scan.
3. Act — Your report includes prioritized, actionable recommendations ranked by estimated impact. Common improvements include adding structured data, creating answer-style content, and ensuring consistent business information across directories.
4. Verify — On your next scan, FriendlyInput checks whether AI systems noticed your improvements. This verification loop proves your work is actually making a difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do AI systems decide which businesses to recommend?

AI systems like ChatGPT and Gemini pull from publicly available data — your website content, business listings, reviews, structured data, and mentions across the web. They evaluate how authoritative, consistent, and well-structured your information is. Businesses with clear, crawlable websites and strong external signals are more likely to be recommended.

What is an AI visibility score?

An AI visibility score measures how likely your business is to be recommended when customers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT or Gemini for suggestions. FriendlyInput scores your business across 12+ signals grouped into three layers: AI Recommendation Evidence, AI Training Signals, and Entity Confidence.

How is FriendlyInput different from SEO tools?

Traditional SEO tools optimize for Google search rankings. FriendlyInput optimizes for AI recommendations — how ChatGPT and Gemini perceive and recommend your business. AI systems use different signals than search engines, including structured data quality, answer-style content, entity consistency, and external source authority. FriendlyInput also detects changes between scans and verifies whether AI systems noticed your improvements.

What AI platforms does FriendlyInput scan?

FriendlyInput currently scans across ChatGPT and Gemini — the two most widely used AI assistants for business recommendations. Additional platforms may be added in the future.

How often should I run a scan?

We recommend running a new scan after making website or listing changes, typically every 2-4 weeks. Each scan compares against your previous results so you can track real progress over time. Paid subscribers get continuous monitoring with automatic change detection.

Can FriendlyInput help my local business?

Yes. FriendlyInput is designed for any business that needs AI systems to recommend them — including local businesses like restaurants, law firms, car dealerships, medical practices, and service providers. Local businesses often benefit the most because AI recommendations are increasingly replacing traditional search for finding local services.

What kind of businesses use FriendlyInput?

FriendlyInput serves business owners, marketing agencies, SaaS companies, local businesses, and anyone who needs AI systems to recommend them. Current customers include car dealerships, professional services firms, and local service providers.

What happens after I run my first scan?

After your first scan, you receive a detailed AI visibility report showing your score across 12+ signals, what AI platforms say about your business, which competitors they recommend instead, and prioritized actions to improve. Each subsequent scan detects what changed and verifies whether AI systems noticed your improvements.

About FriendlyInput

FriendlyInput was founded in 2025 to solve a growing problem: businesses are invisible to the AI systems that customers increasingly rely on. Traditional SEO tools don't address AI visibility, and most businesses don't even know AI is recommending their competitors instead.

FriendlyInput practices what it preaches — we use our own product as customer zero to find and fix our own AI visibility problems. Our mission is to make AI visibility honest, factual, and actionable for every business.
