Why does AI visibility matter for restaurants?
Discovery access and useful initial HTML can affect whether a system can retrieve a page, but this historical readiness score does not show whether ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity currently names a business. That requires repeated answer monitoring. Use this benchmark to understand common website gaps, not as a ranking or recommendation-rate league table.
