For local businesses · AI search + local SEO

When customers ask AI for a business like yours, are you the answer?

Lokstraat asks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overview and AI Mode the questions your customers ask, in the towns you serve. It shows you whether each one names you, whether it recommends you, and which sites it trusts. Then it gives you a plain-English list of fixes, with the most important ones first.

What you would see

One customer question, five AI answers

Say you run a dental practice in Denver. Lokstraat asks the kind of question your customers ask, and reads every answer the way a customer would.

Sites the answers cited

A review site, a health directory, Google Maps and a local news list, but not your own website. Lokstraat groups these into a Most-cited sites list: the places worth being listed and reviewed on.

What you would do next

Your Action Plan lists the fixes in priority order, for example: add structured data so AI can read your hours and services, and complete your listing on the most-cited directory. Each fix comes with written steps. You apply it, then run the audit again to see what moved.

An engine that doesn’t answer, or an answer that can’t be read, is shown as not measured and left out of your score. It is never counted as “not named”.

How it works

Check, fix, check again

A score on its own is just a to-do list. Lokstraat tells you what to fix first, then shows what moved.

1

Check

Run an audit. Lokstraat checks your website, business details, structured data, Google Business Profile, search rank and AI answers. Anything it couldn’t measure is marked, not guessed.

2

Fix

Work down the Action Plan. Copy each fix into your site yourself, or for technical problems, download a ready-made package or send it to whoever runs your website. You decide what changes.

3

Check again

Run the audit again to see which checks now pass, while weekly tracking keeps a record of what the AI answers say. Observations, not promises: AI answers vary by place and time.

What’s included

AI answers and the local basics, in one place

Easy mode, the default, keeps it to a short set of plain-English pages. Expert mode adds the specialist tools when you want the detail.

AI answer visibility

Every audit checks ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity, each searching the web, plus Google’s AI Overview and AI Mode. AI Answers runs can add Gemini, with questions you choose. If you serve several towns, you see results by town.

Weekly AI tracking

Your approved questions are asked every week, so you build a record over time instead of relying on one snapshot. Included for your business on every plan.

✎ fix ready · LocalBusiness structured data

Fixes you approve

Every failing check comes with a recommended fix, written by AI where it helps. For seven common technical problems, Lokstraat prepares a finished package with steps for WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify or hand-built sites. It then checks your live page after you install it.

Map rankings across town

A geo-grid shows where you rank on Google Maps across your area, for each keyword. You can rank #1 on one side of town and nowhere on the other. Rank history builds from each scan.

Google Business Profile check

Lokstraat reads your profile to check completeness, suggest categories and flag suspension risks. It never edits your profile: you make the changes on Google yourself.

Action Plan & reports

The highest-impact fixes from your latest audit in plain English, a full report you can download as a PDF, and alerts when an audit fails or your score changes.

FAQ

What owners ask first

Do I need to be technical?
No. Easy mode is the default and explains every result in plain English. Each failing check comes with a written fix, and for seven common technical problems Lokstraat prepares a ready-made fix package that you or your web person can install.
Do I have to connect Google?
No. You get a full website and AI visibility audit without connecting anything. If you want profile and review data, you can connect your Google Business Profile, and Lokstraat only reads it.
Will Lokstraat change my website or Google profile?
Never on its own. It drafts fixes, content, and review replies for you to approve and publish yourself. Posting to, replying on, and editing your Google Business Profile are switched off in Lokstraat.
What does “AI recommends you” actually mean?
Lokstraat asks AI assistants the kind of question a customer would, using live web search, and records two separate things: whether the answer named your business, and whether it recommended you. It also shows the sites each answer cited, so you know which listings and review sites are worth your time.
What if something can’t be checked?
Lokstraat marks it as “not measured” and leaves it out of your score. It never fills a gap with a guess.
How long does the first audit take?
You can run your first audit about five minutes after you sign in.
What happens to my data?
To check AI answers, Lokstraat sends customer-style questions to the AI engines above; the default questions never name your business. Your data is never sold or used to train anyone else’s models. Brontara improves its own models only on de-identified audit data, and you can opt out in your privacy settings. The Lokstraat app uses no advertising or marketing cookies.
What if I add a second location later?
Each extra location is $35/mo, or you can move up to Growth, which includes 5.

FAQ

What agencies ask first

We already use BrightLocal, Local Falcon or Whitespark. Why add Lokstraat?
You don’t have to replace what works. Lokstraat starts from the AI answer: five AI answer sources, named vs. recommended, the sites each answer cites and weekly tracking. Audits, maps, GBP, reviews, listings, Action Plans and branded reports sit in the same workspace.
How does the founding offer work?
The first 20 agencies to subscribe get the Agency plan at $259/mo instead of the $389 list price. The rate stays for as long as the subscription stays active. Request access and choose “Agency: founding rate”.
