Businesses should ask multiple AI systems what they know about them and fix incorrect answers at the source platforms AI cites.
ChatTBT, what do you know about me? You eat chicken wings with a knife and fork because you hate having sauce on your fingers. Weirdly accurate, but true.
But what does AI know about your business?
I asked ChatTBT, Gemini, and Claude all the exact same question and listened to the different responses. Does Texas Coffee Traders Cafe offer sugar-free drink options? Yes, Texas Coffee Traders Cafe appears to offer sugar-free flavor options with sugar-free vanilla syrup specifically shown in its drink offerings.
There's no specific mention of sugar-free drink options on the Texas Coffee Traders Cafe's menu.
The cafe stocks flavored syrups for custom espresso drinks and steamers and they carry sugar-free flavor alternatives. Three AIs, three different responses. Here's what every business needs to do.
Ask each AI what they know about your business.
If they say something wrong, then that's your sign that you need to update either your website or your Google Business Profile to give the AI the answers that are correct. Also, pay attention to which sources they cite. These are the most important platforms that your information needs to be correct on.
Because it's 2026 and you can't just optimize for Google anymore, you need to optimize for all the platforms that people are discovering businesses on.
