For boarding facilities
Is your boarding facility found in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, DeepSeek or Mistral?
1 September 2026 - we asked an assistant
“dog boarding in Austin, TX”
Your customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, DeepSeek and Mistral where to go for dog boarding. Do you do enough to get chosen?
What gets observed
ChatGPT chooses others. What about you?
Real local questions, asked on the interfaces customers actually use. Watch who gets named - and who doesn’t.
What we see for boarding facilities
AI already answers this question every day. From a list of five or six names.
These are the kinds of questions we measure for boarding facilities:
When someone puts a local question like these to an assistant, it usually answers with a short business list. Across the categories we have measured, that list is drawn from a pool of five or six businesses - four or five of them shown at a time. Ask again and the pool holds while the line-up moves: of 253 names we saw across 45 questions, 119 came back in every reading and 134 did not. In 42 of those 45 questions at least one name never dropped out. The free scan shows whether you are in the pool - and if you are, whether you are one of the names that holds. And it is your city, not your industry. We asked the same question in 3 metros across 10 trades: of 19 comparable pairs of cities, not one shared a single business. The short list you are competing for is rebuilt for every city. The list is not guaranteed to appear at all: in 45 of 63 readings the assistant rendered one, and in the other 18 it named businesses in prose instead. Every figure above describes the list. The list is not the whole answer. In 53 of the 103 readings that showed a business list, the text beneath it named businesses the list did not carry; and in 53 of the 58 readings that showed no list at all, the text still named some. We read both.
We measured boarding facilities in Austin, TX directly: one local question, asked twice. Across those readings the assistant drew on 6 boarding facilities in all, and 3 of them came back every single time. The same facility came first in every one of those readings. We also recorded what the assistant read to build its answers about boarding facilities: of 22 citations, 20 pointed at a business's own website. For boarding facilities, your own pages are the surface it reads. The list is not the whole answer: in 2 of the 2 readings that showed a list, the text beneath it named boarding facilities the list did not carry.

The pages behind the answers for boarding facilities
Where the assistant went to build its answers about boarding facilities in our readings, most-cited first, and what a business can do about each. Not businesses’ own sites: those are the other half of the split above.

What decides it
Which facility gets named? Three things decide.
We measure how AI builds its “best near me” answers. The pattern holds - and it is not your Maps ranking.
The Google card
Assistants pull their local candidates from the same data Google Maps runs on. Your Business Profile gets you considered - or leaves you invisible before anything else matters.
The review filter
In the categories we’ve measured, the businesses AI names carry review counts several times their category’s median. Reviews decide who survives the cut.
Your own website
Most of what AI actually says - prices, who does cage-free boarding best, what to expect - it quotes from somewhere. For boarding facilities we measured that it is the businesses' own sites, and of the 34 businesses ChatGPT named that we could match to our Maps sample, 34 run a live site of their own. Having a site isn't the bar - having one AI can quote is.
Maps position doesn’t explain it. In our measurements, businesses ranked past #60 in Maps got named while some top-ranked ones were skipped. The baseline shows which of the three factors above is failing you - with the evidence attached.
FAQ
Before you start.
Can’t I just ask ChatGPT myself?
You can, and you’ll learn something. But one answer on one day from one service isn’t a measurement. We check several services, repeat the questions people actually ask, and keep the raw answers so the conclusion can be checked.
Does this replace our SEO or our marketing agency?
No. It measures a surface most agencies don’t report on yet. The output is evidence you can hand to whoever already does your marketing.
What do you need from us?
Your website, your city, and an email address. Nothing confidential, nothing about your customers.
Rover undercuts every facility on price - how do we compete?
You don't out-cheap Rover; you out-trust it. People asking assistants for 'boarding with staff overnight' or 'not a kennel warehouse' are pre-sorted for facilities - that question's answer is where you want your name. The scan shows if it's there.
Is the monitoring subscription required?
No - the scan, the report and the fix work are one-time purchases and stand on their own. But one reading is a snapshot of something that moves: most of the names we have measured did not come back unchanged on a re-read. Monitoring is what turns a single reading into a position you can watch. Any report purchase includes the first month free.
What if the scan shows we’re doing fine?
Then you’ve spent nothing and you know it. The free scan exists to tell you whether the paid one is worth it - sometimes the answer is no.
