People are starting to ask AI assistants for local recommendations the way they used to ask a neighbor or search "near me." Mentioned asks Claude 5 realistic local-buyer questions about your trade and city and shows exactly whether your business gets named.
Mentioned generates questions shaped like these — specific to your trade and city, not your business name.
Instead of scanning ten pins and reading reviews one by one, a homeowner can just ask an assistant "who's a good plumber in [city]" and get two or three names back. If your business isn't one of them, you never got the scroll — and you never got the call.
Local AI answers tend to lean on what's publicly said about a business — review platforms, local directories, your own site's service pages. A business with a thin or outdated web presence can lose to a smaller competitor with clearer, more consistent public information, regardless of ad budget.
An answer to "best plumber in Austin" and one to "best plumber for water heater repair" can differ. If your site only has one generic homepage and no service- or city-specific detail, there's less for the model to match your business against a specific question.
Enter your business name and category with your city (e.g. "plumber in Austin") and see the same answer a local would get from Claude today. Same free checker, no local-specific setup required.
