Who wins AI search in your city? (GEO)

People now ask ChatGPT and Gemini "best coaching class near me" instead of Googling. This is GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — one of 2026’s hottest marketing skills. Investigate which local businesses AI recommends in your city, figure out why, and write a plan to get one business recommended.

Steps

  1. 01Pick a local category you know (coaching classes, cafés, gyms, salons) in your own city/area.
  2. 02Ask the same "best X in <your area>" questions on at least 2 AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity). Screenshot the answers.
  3. 03Investigate the winners: check their Google reviews, website, listings — what do the AI-recommended ones have in common?
  4. 04Pick one business that did NOT get recommended and write a GEO plan to change that.

Tools: ChatGPT / Gemini / Perplexity (any 2, free tier), Google Maps

Your submission

Submit your queries and results, a screenshot, your winner analysis, and the GEO plan. This must be YOUR city — results for "a city" in general won’t match what AI actually says.
