I use the shortlist math: one shared winner, a shorter ChatGPT list, and a separate Google sale. Local news mentions give AI a third-party receipt that your business exists in a real city. What they do, how to earn them, and how to track the shortlist. How often should a small business publish for AI visibility? I use two slots a month: one new page a buyer would ask for, and one refresh where a fact changed.
