Straight answers about GridScore HQ: what we do, how we measure, and how we work with local businesses.
Common questions
GridScore HQ helps local businesses show up when customers ask AI where to go. 45% of consumers used ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity to find a local business in the past year, up from 6% the year before (BrightLocal, 2026), and those engines are answering with or without you. We scan how AI actually talks about your business, score your visibility, show you which competitors AI names instead, and track the sources AI relies on. Then we do the work: Google Business Profile optimization, listings consistency, review insights, and monthly reporting that shows exactly what changed. Done-for-you, honest measurement, no guaranteed-rankings hype, just evidence of where you stand and steady work to improve it. Based in Clermont, serving Central Florida businesses and beyond.
An AI visibility scan asks the AI engines your customers actually use (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity) the kinds of questions a real customer would ask when looking for a business like yours. We record whether your business is named, which competitors are named instead, and which sources the engines cite. The result is evidence, not opinion: you see what AI is telling people about your category in your area.
A GridScore reflects what AI engines actually say when asked about your category in your service area: mentions across engines, whether you're named first or buried, which competitors show up in your place, and the sources AI is relying on. It's a measurement, not a promise. We don't guarantee rankings and we don't game the engines. The score is honest evidence of where you stand today so we can track whether steady work moves it in the right direction. The target moves more than most people realize: in our own tracking, ChatGPT changed 57% of the sources it cited for one real business between two scans just 34 minutes apart, which is why we measure monthly instead of once.
GridScore HQ is based in Clermont, FL, and actively serves Lake, Polk, Osceola, and Orange counties in Central Florida. Businesses outside that footprint can still work with us, since the scan and the done-for-you work don't depend on geography, though our local ground game is Central Florida.
No. Where access is required, like your Google Business Profile, we use Manager-level access that you grant from your own account and can revoke at any time. We never ask for passwords, and we don't store credentials.
Pricing depends on where you're starting from and how much ground we need to cover: how competitive your market is, how deep the listing and review work goes, and how much of it you want done for you. We don't publish a fixed price list because the right number depends on your starting point. Start with a free scan, and we'll show you where you stand before any conversation about plans.
