Built by an operator, not a VC fund
Built for local service businesses, not agencies
Vextrail was built by an operator who watched local leads quietly disappear into ChatGPT and Gemini — and couldn't find an affordable way to measure it. Every enterprise tool was priced for agencies and brand teams. So this is the one a single-location owner can actually afford and use.
Cancel anytime
Month-to-month, no contracts, no retention calls. Keep access until your billing period ends.
You only pay for reports delivered
If we can't generate and deliver a month's report, we re-run it free or refund that month. You never pay for nothing.
No fake scores
We never guarantee a specific score or ranking — no one honestly can. We measure what AI actually says, then show you what to fix.
See what AI says
This is the moment you win or lose a customer
A real customer asks an AI assistant who to hire. AI names a few businesses. If you're one of them, you get the call. If you're not, you never even hear about it.
thinking…
Illustrative example. Vextrail measures exactly this — how often you're the business AI names.
The problem
Your customers are asking AI. AI is answering — with a short list.
“Who should I hire?” is one of the most common questions people ask AI assistants. If your business isn't mentioned in the answer, the customer has already moved on — and you'll never know it happened.
AI is the new front door
More and more customers skip the search engine and ask an AI assistant directly: “Who's the best plumber near me?” “Which CRM should we use?” “Where should we eat tonight?”
Only a few names make the cut
When an AI recommends in your category, it names a handful of businesses — usually three to five. If you're not in that answer, you're not even in the consideration set.
Invisible means customers lost
Being left out doesn't hurt visibly — it just means someone else gets the call, the booking, the sale. The cost is silent, but it compounds every month.
How it works
Three steps to being the answer
No guesswork, no “optimize for vibes.” A measurement, a diagnosis, and a plan.
We track your brand across AI
We ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude the questions your customers actually ask in your category — and check whether you're mentioned, and how favorably.
We scan your website
Our engine reviews your site to find what's helping you get mentioned — and what's quietly holding you back.
You get your score and fix-it plan
Every month: your AI Relevance Score (0–100), a per-platform breakdown, and a concrete plan of changes that win you more mentions — and more business.

What this means: ChatGPT and Gemini know you well, but Claude rarely mentions you. Your fix-it plan focuses there.
This month's fix-it tips
- 1
Match your customers' words
AI rewards websites that use the exact phrases customers ask with. Add a services page that answers “how much does X cost?” and “how fast can you…?” in plain language.
- 2
Publish named reviews
AI assistants cite reviews from Google, Yelp, and industry sites. Add testimonials that name the customer, the service, and the location to your site.
- 3
Get listed where AI looks
Complete your Google Business Profile, Yelp, and two or three industry directories. Consistent listings across the web make you dramatically easier for AI to name.
Sample report for illustration only — your scores and tips will differ.

What changes when you act on the report
The fixes are rarely mysterious — they're specific, findable, and measurable. Here's the shape of a typical improvement.
HVAC contractor
Before: Mentioned in 1 of 12 ChatGPT answers about AC repair.
Fix: Added a plain-language services page answering “how much” and “how fast” questions.
After: Now named alongside the top 3 in the area.
Dental practice
Before: Rarely appeared when patients asked “dentist near me.”
Fix: Completed Google Business Profile + two dental directories with consistent details.
After: Mentioned in most local recommendation answers.
B2B SaaS tool
Before: Left out of “best CRM for small teams” comparisons.
Fix: Published comparison content and structured data for key feature pages.
After: Now shortlisted in category roundups across all three platforms.
Illustrative examples showing the typical pattern of improvement — not specific customer results. We never guarantee a particular score or ranking.
Who it's for
If customers ask AI about your category, this is for you
AI recommendations touch every kind of business. If yours is the kind people look up, you need to be in the answer.
Local services
Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, roofers, landscapers — anyone customers ask “who's the best near me?”
Legal & financial
Law firms, accountants, financial advisors — businesses people choose on trust and research.
SaaS & software
Tools people compare side-by-side before they buy — if AI doesn't list you, you're not shortlisted.
Retail & e-commerce
Shops and online stores that AI gets asked to find, compare, and recommend.
Healthcare & wellness
Clinics, dentists, therapists, gyms — where “who should I see?” is asked every day.
Restaurants & hospitality
Places people ask “where should we eat?” or “where should we stay?” — and book on the answer.

Questions
Good questions, straight answers
How is this different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for search engines like Google. Vextrail measures something else entirely — whether AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude mention you when customers ask for recommendations. It's a new channel with its own rules, and most businesses aren't tracking it at all yet.
How often do I get a report?
Every month. We re-run the same questions across all three platforms, update your score, and deliver a fresh report with new fix-it tips so you can see whether your changes moved the needle.
Do I need to give you access to my website?
No. You just enter your business URL. We scan your public site and run the AI questions on our end. No logins, no code snippets, no access required.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. The AI Relevance Report is month-to-month at $79/month with no contracts. Cancel from your dashboard whenever you like.
