Local Vitals is a type of local SEO and AI search visibility software that helps service-area businesses measure and improve how generative AI platforms recommend them by name. The platform tests whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews surface a business when prospective customers ask for a provider in their category and location, then identifies the specific signals preventing those recommendations and outlines the corrective actions required to fix them. The product is built for local and service-area operators, including home services, healthcare practices, legal and financial firms, real estate offices, and other businesses that depend on geographic discoverability. It addresses a category of search behavior that traditional rank-tracking tools do not cover: AI-generated answers, which now influence a growing share of how consumers identify and select local providers. Key capabilities include: AI visibility diagnostics across major large language model platforms, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews Named-recommendation testing that evaluates whether a business is referenced by name in AI responses to category and location queries Gap analysis that identifies missing or underperforming signals such as citations, structured data, reviews, and entity associations Prioritized remediation guidance that translates diagnostic findings into specific, actionable fixes Ongoing monitoring to track changes in AI visibility over time as models and indexing methods evolve Local Vitals is designed for marketing teams, agency operators, and business owners who need an evidence-based view of how their brand performs in AI-driven discovery. Common use cases include benchmarking against local competitors, validating local SEO investments, preparing for AI search expansion, and identifying technical or content adjustments that improve visibility in generative search results. Findings are reported in a format suitable for both technical implementation and stakeholder review, supporting collaboration between in-house marketers, SEO specialists, and external agency partners.
