The Problem

Your shop has great reviews.
AI still doesn't recommend you.

When someone asks AI where to take their car, AI doesn't scroll through Yelp reviews or check Google ratings. It pulls from what it can find about you online — your website, your business listings, your mentions across the web — and builds a picture of who the trusted shops are in your market.

The threat isn't just national chains. In many markets, it's the independent shop two miles away who shows up everywhere online — consistent listings, mentions on local sites, a website that actually says what they do. AI finds them easily. AI can't find you. It doesn't matter who's been in business longer or who does better work. AI recommends whoever it can find.

Spilld runs 100+ real customer searches against ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. We score every response — national chains, local competitors, everyone. We show you exactly where you stand and what to fix first.

Real Queries. Real Results.

What AI says when your customers ask

These are real searches real drivers typed into ChatGPT and Google. Here's how AI responded when they asked about shops in this market.

"Best auto repair shop near me that's open on Saturday"

Shop Not Found

AI recommended: National chain #1

"Honest mechanic in [city] for transmission repair"

Shop Not Found

AI recommended: Local competitor — Riverside Auto

"Where can I get a brake inspection without getting ripped off?"

Shop Not Found

AI recommended: Local competitor — Central Tire & Auto

"Affordable oil change place [city] — not a dealer"

Shop Not Found

AI recommended: National chain #2

This shop had 4.8 stars and 340 Google reviews. AI still didn't mention them once.

AI doesn't just favor national chains — it recommends whoever owns the data. Sometimes that's the shop down the street.

The Cost of Invisibility

Every missed query is a customer you'll never know you lost.

AI doesn't send you a notification when it recommends someone else. The customer just… goes somewhere else. They never call you. You never know. The math adds up fast.

Your ranked fix list — highest impact first

Update your Google Business Profile service list

Your profile lists "auto repair" but doesn't mention transmission, brakes, or AC service — the specific searches where AI is sending customers to competitors. Adding these takes 15 minutes.

Claim and complete your Yelp business listing

Your Yelp profile is unclaimed and missing key service categories that Perplexity pulls from when making local recommendations in your market.

Add location-specific service pages to your website

ChatGPT is citing Riverside Auto Care because they have dedicated pages for each service in your city. Three simple pages would change how AI indexes your shop.

Your full ranked fix list is in your report — specific to your shop, your market, your competitors.

From the Founder

"I spent over a decade building data products for the automotive industry. I watched AI search change everything almost overnight — and I watched independent shops get left behind."

National chains have teams managing their digital presence. They have structured data, citation networks, and content strategies built specifically for how AI discovers businesses. Independent shop owners are running a business — they don't have time for that.

Spilld exists to close that gap. You don't need to become a digital marketer. You need to know where you stand and what to fix first. That's what the report gives you.

FAQ

Common questions.

How is this different from an SEO audit?

Traditional SEO audits look at how you rank on Google search results pages. Spilld measures something different — how AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini represent your shop when drivers ask where to go. A shop can rank on page one of Google and still be completely invisible to AI. These are two separate problems.

What do I actually do with the report? Can I fix things myself?

Yes — that's the whole point. The fixes in your ranked action plan are specific to your shop and ordered by expected impact. They're not "hire an agency" recommendations. They're concrete actions: update this listing, add this service description to your website, claim this profile. Most shop owners can work through the top fixes in a few hours. For anything more involved, the report tells you exactly what to hand off and why.

How long does the report take?

After you complete the intake form, most reports are delivered within 24 hours. We run 100+ real customer searches across 4 AI platforms, verify your competitors using Google Places data, and build a report specific to your shop. It takes time to do it right.

What information do you need from me?

After payment, you'll fill out a short intake form — about 5 minutes. We ask for your shop name, city, the services you offer, who you consider your main local competitors, and your email for report delivery. That's it. We handle everything else.

Will fixing my AI visibility actually bring in more customers?

AI-powered search is now the first stop for a significant and growing share of consumers making local purchasing decisions. If AI isn't recommending you, you're not in consideration. The Spilld Report shows you exactly where you're invisible and gives you a specific action plan ordered by expected impact. What you do with that information is up to you.

Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?

The Spilld Report is a one-time purchase for $297. You get the report, you keep it, no automatic renewal. No recurring charges. Ongoing monitoring plans are in development for shop owners who want to track changes over time — but the report stands completely alone.
