Local Business — check whether ChatGPT recommends you

Maya Local Business is for businesses that serve a local area, such as a clinic, a hair salon or a restaurant. It asks ChatGPT the kind of question a customer would ask and shows whether your business is named in the answer. The first check is free and needs no card and no Maya account.

Start at withmaya.ai/local-business.

Step 1: Find your business

You can start in two ways:

• With your website. Enter Your website address and click Find my business. Maya reads the site to learn what you do and where you are.
• With Google Maps. Click No website? Find me on Google Maps, type the business name and city or area, and click Select on your listing. If nothing matches, add your city and try again, or click Not listed? Enter my details.

If your business is in another country than the one shown, open Business in another country? and choose it.

Maya then asks Is this your business? Check the name, address, type of service and website. Use These details are wrong. Let me edit them. to correct them. You can also add a short description of what you offer. It is optional.

Step 2: The free first check

Click Yes, run my free check. Maya prepares five questions from your services and location. The questions ask for your service without using your brand name, the way a customer who does not know you yet would ask.

Maya asks ChatGPT the first question. This usually takes about 15 seconds. The result shows:

• whether your business is Mentioned in the answer or Not mentioned in the answer,
• the other businesses the answer names,
• the full text under Read the full ChatGPT answer.

This is one answer to one question. Answers may change over time.

Step 3: The other four questions and the paid plan

The other four questions are listed under Your other 4 questions, marked Included in your plan. They are asked after payment.

Click What will Maya do for me?, then Continue to payment. Choose where to receive updates (WhatsApp or email) and pay by card. The price is shown under Plan and pricing before you pay. It is a monthly service. If your business has no website, a one-time Website creation fee is added to the first payment.

After payment the team contacts you through your chosen channel within 24 hours and sets up your Maya account with full dashboard access. The same page shows Your ChatGPT results: all five questions, each with the businesses named, whether you appear, and the full answer.

How location is handled

The questions are asked with a country-level location setting. The district or neighbourhood is part of the question text only. An answer may therefore differ from what someone asking from that exact spot would see.
