If someone came across your brand for the very first time through an AI tool like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude… would the description they see actually be accurate?

For a lot of businesses, the answer is no and sometimes embarrassingly so.

AI doesn’t just “look up” your brand. It pieces together whatever information it can find online:

• Old reviews
• Outdated Websites or Web pages
• Incorrect listings, including old addresses, phone numbers or worse, wrong business name
• Conflicting business descriptions
• Services you stopped offering years ago
  

In a world where first impressions are lasting ones, this information blends together into a single summary that becomes someone's first impression of your business.

And as you can imagine… that can hurt you.

Why This Happens

AI models rely on patterns. If your online presence is messy, inconsistent, or outdated, AI will simply reflect that and sometimes even inventing details to “fill gaps.”

So the real question your business should ask:

• Is AI representing your brand the way you want it represented?
• Or the way the internet has accidentally pieced it together?

A Simple Test Every Business Should Run

Before you spend a dollar on SEO or branding, try this.

Ask the major AI tools:

• “Who is [Your Brand Name]?”
• “What does [Your Brand Name] do?”
• “Who is [Your Brand Name] a good fit for?”

Then read the answers with fresh eyes.

You’ll know instantly whether the AI world understands who you are… or if it’s pulling together a Frankenstein-style mix of half-correct information. Take notes. Screenshot everything.
This becomes your baseline for improvement.

What To Do Next

Once you know how AI currently sees you, the fix is straightforward. Strengthen your brand signals everywhere AI is looking. That means tightening up your:

• Website and on-page content
• Schema markup
• Online business listings
• Social profiles
• Review platforms
• Google Business Profile
• Directory citations

When your digital footprint becomes consistent, clear, and unified, AI has what it needs to “course correct” and your brand finally shows up the way it should.
