Not "do you show up." Not "did you get mentioned." Whether AI actually recommends you, over your competitors, when a real buyer is asking. That's what gets measured here. That's what gets fixed.
The market is loud right now. Everyone with a laptop is suddenly an AI expert promising to get you "seen" by ChatGPT. Here's what they leave out: getting mentioned and getting recommended are not the same thing. AI doesn't show ten blue links. It picks. If it isn't picking you, a mention buried in the data doesn't pay your bills.
TaG Makes measures which businesses AI actually recommends, how consistently, and why, then fixes the reasons it isn't picking you. No vibes. Receipts.
This is the result of rebuilding one Charleston business from the ground up with the ARO methodology: correct schema, entity signals across the web, answer-style content that AI can actually pull from. The number started at 20. It didn't move with blog posts and social updates. It moved when the structure changed. That structure is what TaG Makes builds.
