# RecoRadar

> RecoRadar shows local marketing agencies, in about 60 seconds, whether ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini recommend a local business when a customer asks for that kind of business in its city, and who they recommend instead. Agencies send the report to prospects and clients.

- An audit asks 6 customer questions, such as "best dentist in Austin", on ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini through their official APIs with web search on: 18 answers in one report.
- Starter and Agency ask Google AI Mode too. Google has no API for it, so those answers come from Google Search through DataForSEO, a data provider, and every report says so.
- The report counts how many answers named the business, lists the businesses the AIs named instead and the sites they cited, and shows every question and answer in full.
- The fix list uses only what was measured in those answers. RecoRadar never reports ratings, review counts or rankings it did not fetch.
