What does ChatGPT say about your garage?.

A customer no longer types 'garage Bruges' into Google — they ask ChatGPT which garage can still fit them in for brakes this week. This page shows what AI answers, and whether your garage is on that list. Below, see exactly what an AI scan checks for a garage.

What AI often misses about a garage

  • Opening hours and inspection slots hidden in an image

    If that information only lives in a photo or PDF, AI can't read it. Ask 'can I get my inspection done on Saturday' and AI hands the answer to the garage that spells it out in plain text. A sticker in the window listing approved inspection stations doesn't count either, however clear it looks to a walk-in customer.

  • Makes and specialities never mentioned

    If your site never says you specialise in, say, German cars or EVs, AI won't bring you up when someone asks for exactly that. That customer calls the garage that does say it clearly, even if you've worked on that make for years.

  • No prices or rates anywhere

    Without a price range somewhere on your site, AI can't recommend you as the transparent option. It leans toward the garage that does list a rate for servicing or inspection, even if your own prices are fixed and fair.

  • Google profile and website don't match

    Different address, phone, or hours between the two, and AI hedges its bets — usually toward a competitor whose details actually line up. That gap creeps in easily after a move or a change in your hours.

What the scan looks at for a garage

  • Can a machine read your address, hours and phone number

    We check whether that information sits in readable text on your site, not just in an image — otherwise AI can't tell anyone when you're open for an urgent repair.

  • Does your Google Business Profile match your website

    Same hours, phone and address in both places — otherwise AI passes on outdated info and the customer shows up to a closed gate.

  • Do your texts answer the questions customers ask

    Things like 'do you have a loan car' or 'can I get my inspection done here'. If the answer isn't written down anywhere on your site, AI can't pass it on either, no matter how clearly you explain it at the counter.

  • Is your town or region clearly stated

    AI needs to know which area you serve to recommend you when someone searches for 'a garage in Bruges'.

  • What your reviews and rating tell AI

    AI also reads what customers say about you. A strong rating with recent reviews about, say, fast turnaround weighs into who gets recommended.

Why this is urgent

Anyone looking for a Saturday slot hesitates and books with a garage whose hours actually match.

What we found

The website says 'open Saturdays,' but the Google Business Profile says 'closed Saturdays.'

Where we looked: the opening hours on your website and on your Google Business Profile.

Every point: one page, in plain language, ready to forward.

Frequently asked questions

  • My customers are very happy in their reviews — why doesn't ChatGPT find my garage?

    Reviews help, but AI also needs to find your address, hours and services written in plain text. If that's missing or only sits in an image, AI sees your reviews but doesn't know enough about your garage to recommend it. A great rating on its own isn't a guarantee of visibility.

  • My competitors don't have a better website than mine — how are they getting mentioned?

    The difference is often small: a clear mention of the makes you service, inspections, or prices. AI picks whoever answers the customer's question most clearly, not whoever has the prettiest site.

  • I'm already on Google Maps, isn't that enough?

    Being on Google Maps is different from being recommended by AI in an answer. AI combines your website and your Google profile — if the two don't match, the recommendation drops, even if your listing itself looks fine on the map.

  • What does the scan cost?

    A scan of your website and Google profile is a one-time €39. You get a report on what AI finds, and doesn't find, about your garage.

  • Does BizBuz change anything on my website?

    No. The scan measures and explains what AI sees and misses. Making changes is up to you — or your web builder — afterward.
