We ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity the questions your customers ask — in English and in Korean — and record whether your business is named or cited in the answer.
A search engine shows a list of links. An AI assistant answers the question and names a few businesses. Being one of those names is AI search visibility, and it comes in two forms.
The business is named in the body of the answer — the part the customer actually reads.
Your site or post is linked as a source. Even without your name in the text, the AI used your information to answer.
Ask the same question again and a different set of businesses can come back.
ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity rely on different sources. Showing up in one says little about the others.
You can appear for "best dentist in Koreatown" and be missing from "dentist open on Saturday near me."
English and Korean answers to the same question often name different businesses.
We asked the same local-business questions in English and in Korean across three engines, from a US location, and collected every cited source.
